The Next Morning
I woke up to the sound of my cell phone alarm going off. I groaned as I turned it off and rolled over to face Shane. To my surprise he was already awake. �Morning Sunshine� he said pushing a strand of hair from my face.
�Morning� I said welcoming the feel of him touching me. I put my arm over his side and pulled him closer to me. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and hopped out of bed.
�Where you going?� he asked. �Shower, then work� I said as I shut the bathroom door. I turned on the hot water and stripped down. I got in and let the hot water fall down my body. I heard the door click shut and I smirked to myself. I lathered up my hair and was rinsing it when I heard the shower curtain open. I opened my eyes and Shane had his head poked inside.
�Yes?� I asked raising my eyebrow. �May I?� he asked playfully. �Sure� I answered �but no hanky panky, I have to go to work�. Shane laughed at the terminology I used and slid himself into the shower. I ran the soap across my body quickly while Shane washed up.
I got out before he was finished and went into my bedroom to grab some clothes. I grabbed a pair of Jeans and a Jim�s Auto Repair tank top. After my dad passed away I had never changed the name of the shop�. And I don�t think I ever would. Shane emerged a few minutes later with nothing but a towel on. He went over to the dresser and searched for the clothes that were there. He grabbed some jeans and a polo t-shirt.
I walked into the bathroom and started doing my make up and getting ready. Shane walked in and wrapped his arms around my waist. He leaned down and planted a soft kiss on my neck �ok i�m off to work. See you tonight?� he said nuzzling himself into the crook of my neck. �Yeah� I answered and continued brushing my hair. �Ok love you� he kissed me on the lips and turned to walk out. �Love you too� I said as he walked out the door. I finished getting ready and grabbed my purse. I decided I would take the truck since there was a cold front that had moved through and I wasn�t in the mood to freeze my ass off on the ride to work.
**later that day**
�Jim�s Auto this is Shannon� I said into the phone trying to reach for a pen. �Stay away from Shane you bitch� the female voice said on the other end. �Listen Beth, I�m with Shane. NOT YOU, deal with it!� I said before hanging up. The phone quickly rang again �What?!?!� I screamed into the receiver. �Um hi� Shane said, sounding confused. �Oh hey baby� I said, calming down a little. �What�s wrong?� he asked. I took a deep breath �I think I might want to put a restraining order on your lovely ex� I explained. �C�mon babe, she isn�t that bed.� Shane stated. �Well since she just called here harassing me and I swear I saw her drive by the shop 4 times today I think it might be that bad� I answered. �I have to get this straightened out� Shane said quickly and hung up the phone.
I could tell by the tone in his voice he was pissed.
****Meanwhile***
�Damn her� Shane thought to himself as he started up his truck. He floored it and peeled out of the parking lot at work. He drove as quickly as he could to Beth�s house. He saw her car there and immediately parked his truck. He left it running knowing that what he was about to do wouldn�t take long. He slammed his hand on the door, banging loudly. Beth swung the door open and a look of shock registered on her face. �Hi Shane� she said smiling. �What�s up?� she asked, flirtatiously. �This isn�t a social call Beth. I want you and all of your friends to leave me and Shannon alone. I mean it, you mess with her again and I swear to god�� she quickly interrupted him �Swear to god what Shane? You�re going to beat me up? I highly doubt that� she said smugly.
Shane rolled his eyes and turned to walk back into his truck. He knew Beth wouldn�t give up. Maybe a restraining order was for the best. He drove away and instead of making the left turn to work he headed for the interstate.
He pulled up in front of the shop and got out. He walked in and nodded to Billy. Billy pointed to the car that Shannon was working on and Shane walked out into the garage. He walked up to the car and tapped Shannon�s legs. She pulled herself out from under the car and smiled. �Hi� she smiled sweetly. Shane couldn�t help but think of how beautiful she looked even with grease smeared across her face. �I took care of Beth� Shane said running his hand along Shannon�s leg. �Good� she said and stood up.
