Justin

"So tell me, Justin. Any experience with cars?" Jessie had looked at me with a pensive look. It was quite intimidating.

"In high school, I took a elective class on cars." I had said, trying not to sound nervous but if you'd seen the guy. He nods,leaning up in his swivel chair, crossing his fingers on his desk.

He then starts laughing. I was utterly confused and didn't know what to do so I started to nervously laugh along.

"It's OK, Justin. I don't bite. Any friend of Ryan, is a friend of mine. Let me show you around."

The building was pretty big. I looked around at all of the workers and the cars they worked on. Turns out, the guy wasn't a con. I was starting to think he did illegal work. What a relief. His business is for taxi drivers and company cars that need to be worked on. It was a good investment considering no one really drives their selves anywhere in New York.

"And this is where we set up appointments." Jessie sounded very proud of his business. I would be too if I were making a shit ton of money.

"You know, I like you Justin. I'll tell you what. If you come in next week and work on a car for me, then the job is yours." He smirked.

It's not like I really had a choice. If I got this job, I would make a lot of money so I agreed.

"Sounds like a deal." "Great! I'll have my secretariat call you with details." He shakes my hand and is on his way. This is a good sign right? I mean,it could have gone completely south.

"You do realize that its time for you to get a haircut, right?" Lauren's beautiful voice filled my ears. I chuckled, turning around to find her on the bed eating left over Chinese takeout.

"Yeah, I know." I walked over to her and laid on her stomach.

"So, things went pretty great today. I might get the job." "Awe baby! That's great!" She squeals, kissing my forehead.

"This could be great for us. We could get out of this tiny loft and move into something bigger." Lauren nods,feeding me some noodles.

"I want you to know that even if you don't this job,I'm still gonna love you the exact same. No matter what."

I couldn't help but smile. "Your so beautiful." I say. She smirks. "You can't get enough of me huh?" I laugh pulling her closer. "I really can't."
