Blood. Lies. Love (A Tobey Marshall Fanfic)

One: Tobey

I took a deep breath as I pulled the steering wheel of my Volkswagen to the left, turning into the surprisingly modest looking garage. 

I had been expecting something ... bigger?

It suddenly made sense to me why I had been forbidden to drive my beloved Ferrari Enzo here - it would have looked completely out of place here and the last thing I wanted to do was draw any more suspicion to myself. I've already had to come up with a story as to why an LA girl born and bred would be bringing her car into a Mount Kisco garage...

As the hood of my car became level with the garage entrance, I noticed a group of guys sat playing video games, drinking and laughing in the corner. Business is really that bad here, huh? Although I can't say I'm too surprised people are reluctant to leave their cars in a garage the owners allow a group of 20-something-year-olds to use as a doss pit.

They didn't seem to have noticed my car approach and so I pressed down as hard as I could on the horn. Sure enough all 4 guys jumped out of their skin and turned to face me. Without waiting for any further instruction, I drove the car all the way into the garage before climbing out of the driver's seat and slamming the door shut.

"Hey" one of the guys said as he began to approach me. "What can I do for you?".

"I'd like to speak to the owner about this" I spoke as I kicked my front left wheel - it was flat.

"Yeah well, you're looking at him", he answered back. He has to be kidding right? He can't be more than 25 - this is definitely not the guy I'm looking for. Although when this is all straightened out I have to get to know who this guy really is. He is seriously hot stuff...

"The owner? Not his little grease monkey helper", I spoke with sass. "And I happen to know the man I'm looking for is Robert Marshall."

"Tobey Marshall", he spoke firmly as he offered out his hand. "I'm Robert's son, I own this place now. Unfortunately my father passed away just a couple months ago now."

"Oh....". So it is him... I have to admit I was expecting him to be ten years older than he is. I wish he was. The fact that he's practically the same age as me and ridiculously good looking is going to make this more pleasurable at first sure but I was genuinely hoping I'd have the chance to date this guy. For real. 

I placed my hand into his and instead of a firm shake found myself receiving a gentle kiss from his soft lips on the back of my hand. As he planted the kiss his eyes found mine and he looked up at me with a glint in his eyes. I fight to stop a smile spreading across my face and just barely win.

Well this is going better than expected.

"Hey Tobey man, stop flirting with the customers, no wonder we don't have any!" one of the other guys shouted.

Tobey let out a chuckle that I found myself lusting over. What the hell is going on in my mind, the guys only laughing - get a grip!

"Whatever Finn", he teased. "So you really want me to look at this, yeah?" his one eyebrow raised, flashing me a playful look. Gees, is everything this guy does fucking hot? 

"Well yeah, I have like no air left in that tyre at all". My voice left my mouth slightly firmer than I had intended seen as I'd been trying to cover up the fact I was slightly losing myself in Tobey's eyes.

"But you have a spare tyre right?" he continued teasing. "You know you can just change those yourself right?".

"Pfft, come on, have you seen my heels?" I joked, pointing down at my Kurt Geiger sandals.

Tobey let out another one of those gorgeous laughs, exposing his perfect white teeth.

Oh God this boy is too much. 

"Okay, okay, point taken. "Well... Finn and the guys here can take care of fitting a new tyre for you" he informed me as he turned his head back towards the group of boys still sitting in the corner.

"In the meantime", he spoke as he turned back round to face me and looked right into my eyes. "How about I take you to a little place just down the street and buy you a drink Miss..."

"It's Ali" I smiled.

"Ali... so your name is as beautiful as you are then!" 

I let out a mocking groan along with all of the other guys in the garage. "If I go with you, will you stop with the cheesy pick up lines?" 

He took my hand and smiled that enchanting smile of his. "No promises.... Let me just grab my jacket and we'll get outta here", he spoke as he turned on his heel.

I quickly took the opportunity to fumble around my pocket for my phone. Upon finding it I selected the contact "Boss" and hastily typed a message.

"Phase one of the mission is complete. Tobey Marshall is located. Putting phase two into action immediately." 

Send.

"You ready?" Tobey skipped over.

"Sure... Let's go".
