Thank you for reading the previous two chapters, I hope you have enjoyed them and I hope you enjoy this chapter too :)

Chapter 3- First time

 Ian caught me staring him.

I quickly look away turning red.... I had a very-very huge secret crush on him from past three years and I did not have the courage to confess it to him.

"Happy birthday Emma" Ian said as he came near me.

(We weren't exactly friends back then. He had few classes together with me in high school but he didn’t know me very well, we hardly ever spoke. Sadly I could even count the exact number of times he ever spoke to me.

The first time I met him was 3 years ago, when he and his father David Clark had brought one of the vintage car from dad.

They were looking for an Aston Martin car. Mr Clark point at one cars pointed at the extreme left of the show room. It was a Aston Martin DB Mark III (1958 model)

I was with my dad that day and I happily started giving all the details of the car.

With a professional look on my face I said, in 1947 tractor manufacturer David Brown Limited bought the company under his leadership. The company acquired Langoda that year for its 2.6-litre W.O Bentley-designed engine. Both these companies shared resources and workshops, birthing the classic "DB" series of cars. In 1950, the company announced theDB2, followed by the DB 2/4 in 1953, the DB2/4 MKII in 1955, the DB Mark III in 1957 and the Italian-styled 3.7 L DB4 in 1958.

I could see Ian flashing a smile at me, there was that cute little dimple that was formed on his left cheek which made him look hot even back then. I immediately fell for his amazing smile.

I couldn't help but feel at top of the world and I continued giving them the details.

These models helped Aston Martin establish a good racing pedigree, the DB4 stood out and yielded the famous DB5 in 1963. The company stayed true to its emerging "grand touring'' style with the DB6 (1965–70), and DBS (1967–1972).

The six-cylinder engines of these cars from 1954 up to 1965 were designed by Taked Marek and you are looking at one of them over here which is in a working condition, I said pointing to the car.

Well you know a hell lot about these cars young lady David Clark said with amusement. A grin of triumphant was on my face as I turned to my dad, who was smiling back at me.

After all these years of listening my dad describe a vehicle I practically knew everything.

My dad shared rest of the details and then finalized the deal.)

Th-hank Y-ouu I replied with a stutter.

How is it that you are all alone on your birthday?  Aren't you enjoying your own party? He teased me.

I could only see his lips move up and down and then he suddenly stopped, he looked at me confused...... and then I realized he was waiting for me to respond.

It is suffocating back in there I just came out here to get some air; god I just reminded myself to breath.........

besides I just came out for a few minutes I don't think it’s such a big deal to the rest of them I said with a slight sigh. 

Of course its a big deal Emma, he said with a surprise in his tone.

Did he sense the sadness in my tone?, maybe he did.
