I head over to meet Jasper at three and I can't help how nervous I am. I try to calm myself down and nod when I see him.

"ready?"

He shrugs "sure"

I bite my lip and nod again moving toward the doors and waving at the office so they know Jaspers cleared to leave with me. When we get outside Jasper nods toward the back of the parking lot and we head over. His sister gets out of a truck and Jasper grunts.

"why are you driving my truck?"

I pause Jasper has a car? A truck at that?

His sister chuckles patting it.

"mines in the shop"

Jasper scoffs.

"again? I bet you took it to fucking Jamie's again too huh?"

She rolls her eyes.

"you're not home to fix it are you?"

He glares.

"bring it next time and I'll fix it in the fucking parking lot, Jamie will just make the thing fucking worse"

She rolls her eyes again.

"you are so full of shit you just don't want anyone else working on it"

He nods.

"because I don't need anyone else to fix your car"

She sighs.

"whatever if she breaks again I'll bring her next time"

He nods "good"

My mind is whirling Jasper fixes cars? I knew he was in auto, but he actually fixes them? What does Jasper look like fixing cars? I can't help but picture him in a mechanics suit...

"Whose he?"

I blink slightly clearing my thoughts she's talking about me.

Jasper looks at me and shrugs.

"my mentor"

His sisters eye lifts a brow.

"a mentor?"

He nods "yeah"

I give her a small smile worried she won't like me.

"Beckett"

I hold out my hand and she nods shaking it.

"Maggie"

I smile "nice to meet you"

She returns my smile.

"so how's my brother doing here?"

I pause going into mentor mode.

  "not too bad, a couple minor incidents, but for the most part he's keeping up passing grades and attempting to stay out of trouble. He's an asset to our football team and he seems to be making friends"

Jasper scoffs next to me.

"sure"

I roll my eyes.

"don't be an ass I'm telling the truth"

He turns to me crossing his arms and lifting a brow.

"making friends?"

I sigh turning back to Maggie.

"fine he's made A friend"

Jasper rolls his eyes while Maggie chuckles.

"damn looks like you mentor can keep up with your attitude"
