Bought Together by a Storm

Chapter 6

After finishing breakfast and showering I drive Josh down to the mechanics to check on his car. 

‘Wow, you’d never think we had such a terrible storm last night judging by how beautiful this morning is’ I say as we start driving down my street.

‘Yeah that was one crazy night’ Josh says.  ‘Sorry I mean the weather made it crazy not you’ he quickly adds.  ‘You were amazing company‘.

I peeked over to Josh who was looking out the window.  ‘You were definitely my knight in shining armour Josh.  I wouldn’t mind being rescued by you more often’ I say and smile.

‘Always happy to rescue a maiden in distress like you Snow’ he turns to me and says smiling.  ‘And hey, you rescued me first so I had to return the favour’.

I cannot get the grin off my face.

‘You have a really beautiful smile Sam’

My cheeks heat up a little and I know my dimples are on show but, try as I might my smile only gets bigger.  Damn these dimples.  I look straight ahead trying to compose myself.  But to no avail.

‘Your dimples are adorable by the way’. says Josh

‘Ugh no they are not.  They are so embarrassing‘.  I reply and feel my cheeks blush bright red.

‘Trust me dimples are cute and yours are the cutest I’ve ever seen’. he says.

The next couple of minutes were quiet but I knew we both were smiling.  Even though we both looked out different windows you could feel those smiles in the air somehow.

‘Your car will take a couple of hours to repair I guess so you want to do something, maybe grab some lunch or I can show you some cool places around town.  I’m not working today’.   I finally look back at Josh as I say this.

‘Yeah that would be cool.  What ever you think is fine by me’. Josh turns to me and replies.

‘Ok, we’ll see how Burt is going with your car repairs before I decide on something’.

Another few minutes and we’ve pulled into the mechanics.  Our local mechanic Burt is such a cool character.  He is probably in his late 70’s and as fit and sprightly as someone half his age.  When ever you see him driving about town his truck radio is blasting the latest tunes.  He likes to think he’s still got it. 

We get out and find Burt.

‘Samantha how are you darlin I’ve not see you in awhile’. says Burt

‘I’m doing great Burt how about you still chasing all the pretty girls I bet’. I reply

‘Ah you know me well Samantha’. He leans in and kisses me on the cheek.

Burt this is Josh his car was towed last night.  Burt extends his hand to Josh and they shake.

‘Nice to meet you Josh.  You know my great granddaughters will be so envious of me.  The have all your movies.  They’re a little too young for you though.  Only 9 and 13 but they will flip when I tell them I met you and worked on your car’.  Burt laughs.

‘Hey great to meet you Burt maybe I can sign something for them’ says Josh as they shake hands.

‘That would be great they’ll flip out I’m sure’.

‘So how’s my car looking’.

‘Well, Josh I ordered a couple of parts I need but they won’t get here till about 3 hope you don’t need to leave in a hurry.  I’ll have it ready early tomorrow morning for you at best’. says Burt scratching his head.
