A Day In Summer

🌊 chapter 2

It has been almost a week since the party and i'm still carless, however i received a call saying that i can come and pick it up. I almost jumped up and down when i heard the news becoming excited to see my beautiful car that i have missed oh so much.

I practically fall out of my uber once we reached the auto repair shop, my mind goes to Oliver wondering if he's here or if he is the one who fixed my car

"hi i got a call coming to pick up my car" i announce was i arrive at the front desk

"no worries what kind of car was it?" The nice man says

"it's th-"

"Don't worry steve i can show her to the car"

I look over and make eye contact with a very much shirtless Oliver with spots of black car oil over his body, i gulp.

"Alright Oliver go ahead" The guys who's name is Steve says while shaking his head a bit

"thank you!" i say as Oliver grabs my hand and guides me away from Steve and towards my car

Once we reach my car, Oliver announces "here she is"

"yes i can see that, so what'd you do?"

"i replaced your wheels, your battery and your break fluid" He says proudly while shining the car with the white cloth he hangs on his shoulder.

"okay great" i say acting like a give a shit and i know what all of that means

"Do you want to test drive before you take it?"

"uhhh yeah sure" i said hopping into the front seat and putting my seatbelt on and making sure my mirrors haven't been knocked around or anything when i hear the passenger door close "what are you doing?"

"i'm coming with you" Oliver who is now wearing a shirt says

"why?"

"you know to check that everything is working as it should be" He says, i give him a weird look and roll my eyes while starting my car, i just start reversing before i press down on my break making Oliver go forward a bit

"what, what's wrong?"

"put your seatbelt on" i say putting the car in break

"you're not serious" he replies

"i'm not moving until you put your seatbelt on"

he scoffs and reaches behind him to get his seatbelt "thank you" i say, putting the car in reverse and driving off

I end up giving Oliver the aux which on my part was a bad idea becuase now he is currently blasting 'waka waka' by Shakira and singing to it as if he knows the words

I hold off my giggles as we arrive back at the repair shop, i get out of my car with Oliver following me. I head up to the register while Oliver goes into the back room and comes back out as i'm finished paying. I say thank you and start heading out the door, after a while i become aware of the footsteps following me but i ignore them until i reach my car and turn around folding my arms together

"what?" i say

"could you give me a ride home?" He asks

"is that not your car right there" I only know it's his car because i saw him getting into it at the party

He stares at the car for a while before saying "yes it is but i got a flat tire"

"so fix it, your mechanic" i say getting into the car seat, i feel bad for being rude but i'm not very good at talking to new people and plus i'm on my period i just want to go home and feast on chocolate while watching '50 first dates'.

"Hali please"

i roll my eyes "get in"

he jumps into the car puts his seatbelt on and reaches for the aux plugging his phone in and putting on more early 2000s hits which i don't mind because some of them still hit the spot.

he gives me direction to his house as we drive, when he arrive i look at our surroundings to see big valleys of tress and flowers on pieces of land. "it's so pretty here" i say

"it is but as someone who gets hay fever quite often it isn't the best" he replies looking through the front window at the house in front of us, almost as if he doesn't want to go in

"hey, what's wrong?" i say putting my hand on his arm in hopes to get his attention

"nothing i just don't really feel like being home by myself right now" he says shrugging

"well that's okay we can just go back to mine if you want?" i say not pushing the subject just in case he doesn't want to talk about it

He turns his head to look at me but his eyes go down to my hand on his arm and then back to my face "yeah sure"

i hesitantly take my hand of his arm and start the journey back to my little beach apartment, we get out of the car and walk up to my apartment which is more like a unit because it is on the ground and looks like a proper house.

When we walk through the door we're blessed with the sight of GiGi wagging her tail excited to see me and to meet new people. "Oliver this is Gigi" he smiles at me before he bends down to her level and gives her a couple pats while she gets even more excited and jumps on him licking his face. I frown in jealousy and walk away leaving them to it.

I jump onto my coach and turn the tv on to watch something. i'm about to put friends on when Oliver plops down next to me Gigi following his trail and cuddling up on his lap getting comfy i scoff as i look at them

"what?" Oliver says

i look at him then at my traitor of a dog and then looking back at him "nothing"

he looks at my dog "ohhh is little Ali jealous"

"what no why would i be jealous. that is just stupid. i mean she's my dog why if all people would i be jealous. like it doesn't even make sense"

"yeah right okay" he replies picking Gigi up and putting him on my lap. i instantly smile and give her little head kisses while her tail wags and she licks me

"happy now?" Oliver says looking at us with a content smile

"yes thank you" i say still patting behind gigi's ears

he nods his head and looks back at the tv screen watching friends. not long after the sun starts going down and my eyes begin to get all droopy. the last thing i remember is laughing with Oliver about Monica and Ross fighting over the 'Geller cup'.

hey guys,
lmk if you think this story feels like it's going quite fast or feels rushed in any way because
i'm thinking of starting to slow it down a bit that way the story will be longer and you actually get to know the main characters together and seperate.
