Nava

Chapter 8

Dustin had a habit of blasting music when he was working which was probably why he didn't hear his co-worker Jim until he was right next to him. "Dustin! Will you turn that blasted music down and listen!" yelled Jim. Dustin grinned and turned his radio down. "Sorry, I guess I zoned off for a second there." He chuckled. Jim laughed, "You must have been far away, I was asking you to hand me that torque wrench." He said. "Oh sorry, here you go," Dustin said reaching over and grabbing the tool.

Dustin looked at the truck he was working on. He should have been done with it by now but he kept drifting off. Turning up his music he turned to the truck. He was almost done when he heard a familiar truck outside. He grinned as he looked out the window and saw Nava climb down from the cab.

She looked behind her as a car pulled into the lot. She nodded to the driver and came into the shop. Dustin closed the hood and wiped his hands on a rag just as Nava walked in greeting people as she passed. Dustin smiled as she got closer and scooped her into his arms giving her a kiss.

"Hello beautiful," he said, putting her down. Nava smiled and wiped engine oil off his cheek. "Howdy Handsome. How's your day been?" She asked. Dustin, laughed. "I honestly don't know I've been kind of distant today. What about you?" Nava looked out at the car parked a few spots away from her truck. "Long," she said, sighing.

"I'm sorry" Dustin said, wrapping her in a hug and kissing the top of her head. Nava shrugged. "It's fine, I don't really mind the body guards but Isabella wants to keep me home from the expo." Dustin pulled back slightly. "Really? You have to be joking! This expo is huge. Why is she taking you out of it? He asked.

Nava turned to the side to better see out the window. "She's not taking me out. The weapons will still go but I won't. I think she knows something we don't though because she told me she was scared something would happen. She's rarely wrong with things like this and I'm not sure I want to risk it." Dustin looked at Nava seriously. "She admitted to being scared?" He asked Nava nodded. Dustin turned to the truck behind him, gripping the hood. It was unusual for Isabella to be scared, and it was even more unusual that she would admit to being scared.

Nava wrapped her arms around Dustin's waist. "Isabella's going to steak out our house tonight and for the next few days. She has a security detail that follows me around until I go home." Dustin looked out the window at the guard and nodded, surprised when he nodded back.

"Who's watching you now?" He asked. Nava followed his gaze. "That's Jonsey. He's the last one watching me before I go home. I just came by to see you." she said Dustin turned back to face her. "Well I'm glad you did. But frankly you look like you've been in an office all day. And I hear engine oil is great for the skin." he said reaching to the side to grab his dirty rag.

"No, Dustin don't you dare! Get that away from me!" Giggled Nava as Dustin grabbed her and smeared oil all over her face. "Much better," he said, dipping her and giving her a kiss. He could hear his co-workers hoots and cheers and smiled. He looked into Navas eyes as he stood her up. "Come on I'll walk you out to your car." He said putting her arm in the crook of his elbow.
