backstory
Lena never planned to fall in love with the mechanic that fixed her car..
When she pulled into Brendon's garage, she thought she needed new spark plugs. Instead, the good-looking mechanic took a look under the hood and told her it was her battery.
"Tell me you're joking, right?" she asked
he gave her a crooked smile.
"wish I could sweetheart but then i'd be charging you for something you dont need done and I'm not that type of mechinic." he says
"so you are telling me I drove all the way over here for a battery?" she asked
he smirks
"looks it" he replied
"you are enjoying this aren't you? " she asked
"little bit"
she should be annoyed but she wasn't. instead she found her self laughing. she like seeing his eyes crinkle when he smiled.
and Brendon almost imdeitally loved her smart mouth.
He like how she didnt bat her eye lashes at him, or pretend to understand cars jsut to impress him. She challanged him,teases with him, and gives as she's got.
by the time he finished replacing her battery, he foudn three excuses to keep talking with her.
before she left he leaned agaisnt her driver door and asked her out.
"is that a new service you off?" she asked
"depends would you leave me a good review?" he asked
"maybe.. not sure" she replied
"then I guess I better take you to a nice place" he replied
"guess so" she remarked
neithr of them knew her scoming to his shop and gettign a batter replacement would be the start of something beautiful.
their first date turned to another then another and before to long somewhere between stolen kisses, conversations well past mid night, and late night dinners. they had stopped being two people who were datign and became each other's person.
Bren learned little things about Lena like her real smile, and her fake one when she is pretending to be fine. he knew how she liked her coffee, what made her laugh while in a bad mood, and how she always gravitated towards him when she was tired. even after claiming to want her space.
and Lena knew Bren just as well
she learned that benth the working hand and cofident grin. was someone patients, affectionate, and softer than he allows most to see him be.
he loved touching her. weather it be his hand on her thigh, holding her hand, hand on her waist as he passed beside her, fingers finding hers udner the table, and him pulling her close while in bed to cuddle.
she knew how to make him laugh, make him flustered. How to bring the palyful side out that belong exclusivly to her.
behidn closed doors their chemistry was ridicouls.
they hair their private jokes, & nicknames. their own way makign an odrinary eveing feel as if it belonged to them.
lena could turn a teasing remark into a whole game. Bren could give her one look and she'd forget about what she was about to say.
they weren't perfect nor did the try to be. they were simply happy.
after while sharing a home befcome the natural next step, followed by learning how it was to live with each other. handle different things like bren leaving his boots by the front door, her things scattred in the bathroom, dinner eatten together after long nights, and sleepy morining when neither wanted to move out of the bed.
the talk about the future was some times for fun and other times very serious. there as always another year to look forward to. anther trip to take and memory to make.
they had been with each other for three whole years.
three whole years of learning everythng they needed to about each other.
andthat had lena beliving that love like the one they had was one worth fighting for.
little did she know it was the very thing that breaks her.
~~
she thought if he broke up with bren he'd come after her askign so many questions and wanting awnsers . but when she said its over and walked out the door he didnt follow. he didnt call, scream, yell, or anything.
she had thought that her doing this he'd fight for what they had. I mean three years and he isnt going to question what is wrong, what was happening, or anything?
he just let her leave with prevention or questons at all.
~~~~
while trying to learn what its like not to have him in her life, her arms, to kiss him when ever she wanted, touch him, hold him, and anything else.
she had learned he's carrying his baby.
now things have taking a huge turn due to the changing thats about to occure.
