Car Troubles~ Lopez

Lauren's POV
"Babe we gotta go if we're going to make it on time." I tapped my watch.
My girlfriend popped out of our room, fussing with her bag strap.

"Have you seen my-"
"I got your script."
"But what about my-"
"And your hairbrush."
"Do we have any-"
"There's gum in the car." I smiled.

She smiled back and popped over, playing a kiss on my cheek.
"Okay, let's run to rehearsal then."
"I'll drive, you need to brush that rat's nest."

As we headed out the door, she picked at strands of her hair.
"Does it look that bad?"
I squinted and tilted my head slightly.
"Yah."

She frowned and I handed her a brush.
"Okay, practice starts in 20 minutes, and we'll get there in just enough time to change."
She smiled at me again, making me smile.
"We got costumes?"
"Yah, did I not tell you? Our cavemen costumes came in today."

I kept cranking the car, but it was stalling.
"That's awesome! Let's go!" She exclaimed, brushing through her thick tangled.
I sat back in my seat and blew out a frustrated breath.
"The car won't start."
"What?"
"The car won't start!"

Y/N frowned and opened the center console, rummaging around.
She pulled out a stick of gum and shoved it in her mouth, opening her car door.
"Hey where are you-"

She walked out to our neighbors' door and knocked on it.
They exchanged a few words that I couldn't make out, and went inside.
She's not about to die or get kidnapped, right?
No, she's totally kill them first, she's okay.

When she walked back out she had a smallish orange-black box.
She made her way to the front of the car and popped the hood.
I sighed and sat back in my seat, texting Nick to let him know we'd be a little late.

After about 7 more minutes, she pulled the hood down. She had a small oily, black circlet and a smudge of black across her cheek.
She walked to the curb and threw it in the garbage can, the walked back to the car.

She blew a bubble and slammed the door shut.
"Try it now." She said.
I smiled and cranked the engine again.
It started up smoothly, and I gaped at her.
"You never change your fuel filter Lo."

I smiled and licked my thumb, wiping the smudge off her cheek.
She moved my hand and kissed my lips, so I let go of the key in the ignition and held her neck with my hands.

I pulled away and we stared at each other for a few more seconds before I laid my hands on the steering wheel.
"Okay, we really should go now."
"Sure."

*time skip*

"What, you do that? Can you change mine?" Joey asked Y/N.
It was nearing the end of rehearsal for the day, and everyone was asking Y/N to change their oil filters now.

I laughed from behind him, and pat his shoulder.
"Sorry Jo my boy, she fixes my car." I winked.
"Our car."
"Same thing."

We laughed and we check the clock.
"Well, it's just about dinner time, who wants to go out and grab something?" Joey asked.
"Yah, lets go get food." I smiled.

"What kind of food?"
"Any food! Doesn't matter."
I'm so hungry.

"I'm so hungry." Y/N sighed.
"I just said that!" I smiled.
"Not you didn't."
I rolled my eyes. "Well not out loud."
"Well then you didn't say it."
"I said it in my brain."
"Doesn't count."
"I don't care I'm hungry."

We sat in silence for another second and burst out into laughter.
"Come on babe, lets go get food."
