Buying a shitbox car for $500 was an unfortunate purchase for me, but in order to get to my college classes and my multiple jobs depending on the day, it was a much needed purchase. But the last thing I needed was a break up over a text "Ashley I'm done." So the last few weeks, I've felt broken and numb only made worse by my car needing major repairs in order to pass state inspection.
Sitting in the customer service area, dressed in a short blue ruffled skirt, worn sneakers and tight fitting black long-sleeve shirt that hugged my curves, going back and forth between my phone, or textbook, incredibly apprehensive about the possible price tag and not really wanting much conversation though the other customers meant well. The master mechanic working on my car was also the shop manager and kept splitting his time between the desk and my car only increasing my frustration.
Finally after sitting in the stuffy office for three hours, "Ashley, the car is ready. I'd like to cover a few things about what we fixed." Holding the door, I grabbed my bags and walked into the shop floor to my car. For an auto body shop it was nice a cool with an early fall breeze blowing through the doors. Listening passively to the mechanic about what they fixed, u finally tuned in when I heard the price tag, "It's going to be $1,300." He said bluntly.
My eyes wide, and jaw dropped, looking for his nameplate, "Well, Jason," I started to find my words, "The car was only $500 when I bought it, and I don't have that much money to pay for the repairs, between college, and being on my own." I trailed off, afraid he'd keep my car until I pay him, "Is there something we can work out? I mean the hours spent was also mixed in the office." I could feel his eye tracing my body and I put my bags in my car and walked up to him so I was only a few inches away from him. Gazing up at his eyes, watching his face contemplating his decision. Making his decision for him, I ran my hand over his groin down this thigh.
"Ok. We can do something." Taking my hand, and leading me to the other side of my car, sitting down on a bench, "You'll have to quiet."
