"A break huh?" Reed comments, unashamed at eavesdropping on my conversation with Jones.
Why I even chose to explain why I look like shit today is beyond me. I guess Jones doesn't seem like the judging type but what I didn't expect was for everyone else in the shop to listen in and make my life the topic of today's discussion.
"My girl and I have been on a break for a while now too." Carl adds, when I look at him to elaborate his smile widens, "For over 20 years!" He laughs
I roll my eyes and get back under the hood of the red Mustang.
"You didn't really fall for that 'break' crap did you buddy?" He continues his boisterous laughter.
"Yeah, I thought you were smarter than that, Mr. Woo." Alexis chimes in too.
"Everyone knows a 'break' is the way nice girls tell you to fuck off. Girl like me just say the words."
I hear Jones deep rumble of laughter and I turn to glare at him. He bites it back.
"You don't know anything." I spit at the annoying group.
