Dropping it down from the lift, Brady says it’s okay to drive until I drop it off, but to be careful. Taking the keys, I thank him again, he didn’t have to spend his morning under my car, but that’s just who he is, he will make some girl very lucky one day. I look over to thank Reid for letting me stay last night, but he’s nowhere to be seen, where did he disappear to? Telling myself ill text him later, I get in my car and make my way home. The driveway at home is empty thank god, I let myself into the house and go up to my room where I lock my door. Taking out my phone I plug it in and pull up the messaging app.
Me: Thank you for letting me stay last night.
It feels odd being able to text him again after being blocked for so long, but I needed to let him know that even with my outburst, I was grateful I didn’t come home drunk. Mum wouldn’t have liked that. Feeling my phone vibrate in my hand I look down at it.
Reid: You’re welcome, careful of those pesky rugs from now on
Well, this one isn’t stupid. Choosing not to reply, I put down my phone and grab out my kindle, getting lost in a book sounds like bliss right about now. Pulling up my favourite author Chloe Walsh, I begin rereading my favourite series again Carter kids. After a few hours reading and sorting myself some dinner, I take off my make up and get into some pj shorts. Deciding to just sleep in Reid’s t-shirt again I settle into bed and put on a movie. Not long, after my eyes close and I snuggle down into my bed. I’m back teaching dance tomorrow, and I can’t wait.
Tuesday comes and goes and takes my first dance lesson with it, I’ve always loved teaching dance, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. My dream is to open my own studio where people of all ages and sizes can come to let off some steam as I do. But today is Wednesday, the day I have to see Reid again as I drop my car off.
Pulling up at the garage I see lizzie standing outside taking a delivery, she waves as she sees me so I walk over to say hello “Hey Becca, been a long time since I’ve seen you around here” she says with a warm smile “Hey Lizzie. Yeh I went to stay with my dad for a while” I answer, knowing she’s probably heard about him passing, I’m ready for the pity that crosses over her face “Aw yeh, I heard about your dad, sorry for your loss honey. It’s good to have you back though, Reid’s been a bear with a sore head since the day you left. Pricks been snapping at everyone” she explains. Why would Reid be angry I left? He wanted me to move on out of his life. Not knowing how to answer that I ignore it “Ah yeh, it’s nice to be back. I missed everyone” I say trying to change the subject away from Reid “You bringing your car in? Brady said it’s a service and a bearing?” she asks thankfully changing the subject “Yeh its well overdue and making a horrible noise now” I tell her “Ok honey, Reid is in the office, he can sort you a courtesy car” she says. Telling her thanks, I walk over to the office, inside I find Reid sorting through some papers on Lizzies desk “Er hey. I’ve come to drop off my car and get the courtesy car?” I say like an idiot, he knows why I’m here “Hey Becks, yeh lemme sort that for you” he says, pulling out a piece of paper, he writes some information on it and grabs a set of keys off the hook behind the desk “So here is the keys to the courtesy car, Once we’ve had a look at yours Brady will ring you to let you know once he’s fixed it” he tells me. Okay, back to normal pleasantries, I can do that.
Taking the keys from him he shows me where the car is “Thanks for this” I tell
