Rescue Me

Chapter 3: Car Troubles

Chapter 3

Once again I woke up by the sound of that stupid alarm. I went to the bathroom and took another shower considering I was still icky from that sweaty nap. After changing into some khaki shorts and my black Taco Mac shirt, I threw on my all black converse and was about to run out the house but not before looking in the mirror. My hair was a mess and my eyes had small but noticeable bags underneath.  I sighed and headed toward the bathroom again to fix myself. I put my long hair into a messy bun on the top of my head and put on some eyeliner and mascara with some lip gloss and I was out the door. I drove to work and to the back door with my bag in hand. I went to clock in and saw Frank standing in his office. “Hey Frank,” I waved to him. “Oh, hey Raine. How was Lalla’s birthday party?” He asked “It was great; she and her friends had so much fun. I just wanted to thank you for the cake it really was delicious,” I smiled. “Oh, no problem she’s such a sweet girl, you should bring her by once in a while,” He grinned at me. “I will, thanks again,” Smiling, I left then walked toward the front to wait tables. When I was walking by a group of hot boys, Alexis ‘slipped’ and fell onto one of them and he looked so disgusted by it.  I stifled a laugh as I passed by. She glared at me and I burst out laughing.

I walked to another table to hand them their check, as Is came over to talk to me. “Hailey has to leave early and we don’t have a hostess. I guess you can figure out that u have to be hostess and waitress tonight. I sighed but nodded. “I’ll cover most of your tables but you have to do a few,” “Thanks,” She nodded and walked off. I headed toward the front of the restaurant. “Raine, thank you so much you don’t know how much this means to me,” She hugged me and smiled. “No problem,” She nodded and left. I sighed and turned to the group that was there. Without looking up I said “Welcome to Taco Mac, name please and how many?” I grabbed the marker and waited patiently. “Logan, 2” I gasped and looked up to see him smiling. I gave him a small smile and wrote the number. Alright, Zayd will lead you to your tables and be your waitress,” I pointed to the girl with short black hair.  He looked at her then back at me.  “If you don’t mind, I would rather you be our waitress,” Logan smirked. I smiled and beckoned Zayd over. “Hey can you be hostess until they leave. They want me as waitress,” She nodded and I smiled. “Well then, this way,” I told them to follow me and they did, I was well aware that a certain gray eyed man was staring at my ass when I walked. After they sat down and gave me their orders I walked off to the back. “How’s hosting?” Is asked me. “I’m not hostess anymore since Logan asked me to be his waitress,” I smirked at her.

“Seriously?”

“Yep,”

“So, what do you think of him?” She asked me. “Based off of appearance he seems cool very lean, and very cute,” “You have got to date him. I mean he has the hots for you,” “I don’t know, maybe. But he has to ask,” “Of course he has to ask and by the way I see him looking at you, maybe it is soon,” I nodded, got up, grabbed the plates and left. After eating they left me another huge tip. I wonder where he gets all that money.

For the next few weeks I saw him everyday. Sometimes I even looked forward to seeing him, we started talking and became friends. He always knew how to make me smile. I couldn’t help but be a little sad that he hasn’t asked me on a date yet, but its whatever.

Logan’s POV

I couldn’t help but smile every time I say her. I know its cheesy but she brought something out in me I didn’t know I had. I had to get to know her.

I remember the first time we came here. My friends were trying to cheer me up from a bad break up I had with the first love of my life. Her name was Jennifer and we high school sweethearts, I thought she was the one, I was ready to marry her until she started get all defensive and going out all the time. I started thinking maybe I was moving too fast until I walked in on her and one of my best friends having sex on my bed in my house. Turns out they’ve been having an affair before we even started dating. I was so torn, but I didn’t let it show. It wasn’t until I started drinking that they tried to help me. My best friend, not a stranger but my best friend. They moved out together and lived somewhere else until Jennifer walked in on him cheating with another girl. She then tried to come back to me but I wasn’t going to let that happen. We ended up at Taco Mac that night to watch a game. Then she walked through. She was beautiful even more beautiful than Jennifer. She was about 5 ft 7 perfect to my tall 6 ft 2 frame. She had that athletic build in her but she had curves in all the right places. She walked to our table and said her name and welcome to Taco Mac and crap.  Raine I liked it. I caught her checking me out and I smiled. It wasn’t till I saw her eyes that I decided I had to get to know her. I kept coming back every night hoping to see her again.  Then I bumped into her and when I touched her I felt sparks. I rubbed my hands together and she looked at her hand feeling the same thing. Few weeks later we became friends and I had to ask her out. I decided I would do it tomorrow. Tomorrow I would ask her out.

I was heading out after leaving a huge tip for her, I noticed someone with car troubles. Look like they need a jump. I switched directions and started heading toward them. When I got close enough to see I noticed it was Raine.

Raine’s POV

After trying to start the car for the 5th time, I gave up. The battery died and the radiator has overheated. I don’t know how I deal with this. I turned off the radio and the lights and everything. The car just wouldn’t start. I sighed got out and popped the hood. Smoke started to rise and I coughed a little before grabbing the battery and trying to adjust it a little so that it would hopefully give me enough juice to start the car and make it home. I headed back and turned the key once again. Still didn’t work. I headed to the trunk to see if I had some start up spray. I felt my hopes rise when I saw the bottle only to diminish when I realized that the bottle was empty. Screaming in frustration, I shut the trunk and headed to the front of the car. I was about to head back inside and ask for a jump when someone came over. “Need help?” He asked. It was Logan. “Yeah, you wouldn’t happen to have any jump cables, would you, or any car starting spray?” He shook his head. “Let me have a look at it,” I shrugged, and moved out the way. After messing with the hood for a while, he shook his head. “I’m guessing you know that your radiator is also over heated?” I nodded. “To be honest, I don’t know how this made it past emissions,” he chuckled. “Me neither, she does what she wants,” I sighed and looked back at the restaurant. “Thanks for helping, I’ll just go inside and ask someone for a ride,” I gestured to the restaurant and started walking backwards. “I’ll give you a ride,” I stopped. “Really?” He shrugged. “Yeah, why not. I can’t leave a beautiful lady here by herself, can I?” I smiled. He thinks I’m beautiful. “No, I guess you can’t,” He smirked. “Come on, my car’s this way,” I followed behind him closely. I was shocked he drove a black Chevy Camera with white side stripes. He opened the door for me and I smiled. “A true gentleman,” He smiled. “I try,” He shut the door and headed to the driver’s side. He put the key in the ignition, and the car roared to life. It sounded new, better than my old thing. “Where to?” He asked driving out of the restaurant. “Moon Light Waters Apartment complex, know where that is?” I asked. He nodded. “What apartment number?” He asked. “403,” He nodded and headed in that direction. “I know a mechanic that does really well with cars. I could get him to stop by in the morning and take it to the shop, if that’s ok with you?” He glanced at me for a second then back to the road. “That’s great actually,” We pulled up to my apartment and he stopped the car. “Thanks for the ride, and the mechanic,” I said and turned to him and kissed his cheek. I looked at his shocked face and smiled. “You were a real gentlemen,” He smiled and I got out, shutting the door softly before heading up the stairs. I waved to him once I opened the door and he waved back. I shut the door and heard him back out. I turned my back to the wall and began walking to Lalla’s room. She fell asleep in her chair. I smiled and picked her up putting her in her bed. I tucked her in and kissed her cheek before turning off the light and heading to my room. I yawned suddenly feeling very exhausted. After all that happened today I could go for a nice shower. With that thought I headed to the bathroom.

Logan’s POV

After she kissed my cheek, I was still in shock. I wasn’t expecting that. After she went in I drove home, it wasn’t that far actually. 10 minutes tops. I pulled into my driveway and parked the car in the garage. After I changed my clothes, I laid down on my bed smiling about what happened today. Yep I am definitely going to ask her on a date tomorrow.

Sorry it took so long to write this. I’m on vacation and I don’t have any wifi where I am so I have to find a hotspot. Hoped you enjoy!!!
