Crosshairs' mechanic

The car show

Alex POV.................
I shot up out of bed,breathing heavily and shaking. I looked around to see I was in my room. I let out a sigh of relief and sat back down on my bed. Madison was still asleep,completely oblivious to my little freak out session.
What a weird dream.
I stood up and walked to the bathroom,planning on taking a shower. When I looked looked in the bathroom mirror,I started laughing. I had forgotten to wash off my makeup last night,so now I have eyeliner and mascara running down my face. Because of my pale skin and messy hair,I looked like a zombie.
I guess I was laughing really loud because Madison came in,grumbling about how early it was.
"What are you laughing at?" She said as she came in. She took one look at my face and was on the floor trying to breathe.
"You look like the undead!" She said when she finally stood up.
"Maybe I should go to the car show like this." I said making a serious face in the mirror.
"How about no." Madison walked out so I could take my shower. It took me a while to wash and work out all the nots in my hair,but I finally got it done.I did the rest of my business and got out of the shower. As soon as I stepped out of the door,Madison jumped in. I laughed and walked to my room. I saw that she already had her outfit ready,so I went to pick mine.
I put on a blue bra and matching underwear. I grabbed a shirt that was shredded up the sides and some blue jean shorts. I put on my mid calf leather boots and grabbed my chain,hooking it to the belt loops on my shorts.
I heard Madison get out of the shower and the blow dryer turn on. She could never let her hair air dry,says it feels weird. I put in my navel ring and added a leather cuff bracelet. After I was dressed I grabbed my towel and dried my hair. I flipped it out and grabbed the flatiron. I was going to be outside most of the day and I needed my hair to stay out of my way.
By the time I was done,Madi was already dressed,had put on her makeup and curled the ends of her hair.
"Need some help with that?" She asked. I nodded and let her braid my hair while I put on eyeliner and mascara. Once I was done and my hair was braided,I stood up and looked in the mirror. I decided I looked good and grabbed my phone and keys.
"Girl, you really need to get your haircut." Madi told me as we walked down stairs. She was probably right. My hair went to my lower back,and it was curly.
"You know I don't like the the thought of scissors close to my face." I said.
She rolled her eyes playfully. "And yet you can use a blowtorch when you hair is a fire hazard." I laughed and sent Mark a text. He told me the place were the car show was taking place and gave me directions.
"So what am I going to do?" Madi asked as we got in the car and drove off.
"Your going to sit by my car and look pretty." I said. She put he hand to her hart in mock hurt.
"So that's all I am to you,a pretty face?"
"A pretty face and sexy body." We looked at each other and started laughing. As we drove I told her about my dream.
"I'm not really sure what to tell you on that one." She said as we pulled into the car show. I parked with the rest of the classic muscle cars and shut off the engine. I hooked the keys to my chain and we got out of the car.
"So what are we supposed to do?" Madi asked.
"Well,first we find Mark,then we see what he needs help with." I told her. We walked around until we finally found Mark. He gave us each a clipboard and told us to go get the names and vehicle number of all the cars being presented in the auction. We split up and had it done by three o'clock. The auction wasn't until seven,so we spent the rest of the day walking around and taking pictures with different cars. Madi had gotten the number of a guy with an 1967 blue Shelby mustang. I had to commend her on her choice in men,he was a very good looking guy.
We were walking to the stage waiting on the auction to begin when I heard an engine rev behind me. I turned around and my jaw dropped.
"Madison." I called. At the sound of her full name she turned around.
"What?"
"It's the car." I said still staring.
"Yes, it is a car,there are lots of cars here." She said in a baby voice. I rolled my eyes.
"No,not a car,the car. It's the car from my dream." And it was. It had the same paint job and everything. Madison turned around and watched the car drive by.
"Oh yeah," she said " that car is being put up in the auction." I turned around and gave her a 'are you fucking serious' look.
"Why didn't you tell me this!"
"I didn't think it matters,it's just a car." She said "Although the guy selling it seems really happy to get rid of it."
I looked at the car driving up the ramp to the stage. I have an idea.
"Madi,stay here,I'll be back." She gave me a weird look but nodded.
I walked through the crowd and to the side of the stage. Mark was standing there with the clipboard,getting ready to announce the next car.
"Hey Alex,what's up?" He said as I walked up.
"I need a favor."
"What is it."
"You see that green and black corvette,I need you to make sure I have the highest bid,I need that car." I told him. He look at the car,them back at the clipboard.
"Nobody had put in a bid yet,but I'll try to make sure its your." I smile and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you Mark,this means a lot to me."
I walked back to Madison and waited.
"What did you do?" She gave me a disapproving look. I just smirked and waved my hand.
Finally it was time.
"Here we have a green and black 2014 C-7 Chevrolet Corvette,place number 46782." Mark announced.
"Even I have to admit,it is a nice car." Madison said.
"Indeed it is." I said,my smirk getting bigger by the second. Madison pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.
"Please," she said "tell me you didn't." I watched as the car rolled off of the stage and went back to its solace spot.
"Oh,but I did." I said and ran to wear the car was parked.
In this type of car show,people who were trying to sell cars had to park in a certain place. They had to park in order depending on their place number.
I walked through the maze of cars until I finally saw the green corvette. I could see Mark talking to the guy who was trying to sell it. He saw me and waved me over. Me and the guy talked about the price of the car. He said nobody else had placed a bid on it yet. I could see why,most of the people here were only interested in the muscle cars,not the sports car.
He said he wanted 50 thousand,but I managed to talk him down to 30. We shook hand and he went with Mark to do the paperwork. When they left I looked at the car. It was the exact same one from my dream. It even had the same tinted windows.
I slowly put my hand out,making it hover over the hood. I could feel heat coming off the car,which was strange.
"What the hell are you doing?"
I jumped away from the car and turned around. Madison stood there watching me.
"I was just ummm..." She raises a brow and gives me a look. I sighed.
"Nothing." I said.
"So did you get the car?" She asked. I smiled and told her about the deal.
"What are you going to do with a car like this,Alex?" That was a good question.
" I don't really know,I've never had a sports car come through the shop before. But I guess it would be a nice change." I said honestly.
Mark came back with the keys a few minutes later.
"It's yours." He said. I squealed and grabbed the keys out of his hands. I threw my arms around his neck and and hugged him tightly.
"Thank Mark,I owe you one." He smiled and hugged me back.
"It's cool,the guy really wanted to get rid of it anyway."
We both looked at the car.
"I wonder why." I heard Madison mumble. I rolled my eyes and looked at the keys. It had a weird symbol hanging from the chain.
"So how are we getting this thing to your house?" Madison asked. I smiled again and grabbed my car keys off of my chain.
"You've always wanted to drive my car,right Madi?" She gave me a 'you can't be serious' look and nodded. I threw her the keys and her eyes widened.
"Your going to let me drive your car?" She made it sound like the most surprising thing in the world.
"Yes I'm going to let you drive my car,so I can drive this one." I was suddenly engulfed by a hug. I just laughed and hugged her back.
"Please don't reck my car." I said with a pleading look.
"I promise I won't Alex,I'll call you when I'm back at your place,ok?"
I grinned and nodded.
"Ok,just stay within the speed limit please."
"Only if you do the same." She nodded at the corvette. I laughed and put my hands on her shoulders,then put on my most serious face.
"But seriously,if anything happens to that car,I'll kill you,ok?"
"I'll be fine,don't worry." She gave me a hug and walked away. I turned around and looked at the corvette.
"Alright,let's do this"
