i get the text that dinners ready so i head downstairs and to the kitchen where everyone else is. not only is colton here tonight but so is corbyn's boyfriend, eric, cody's girlfriend, finley, and mason's friend, trent.
"those are too short." cody says about my shorts but finley hits his arm.
"your outfits so cute, especially the shorts." she says with a smile. when i got home from being with colton i changed into pink cotton comfy shorts and a white tank top with white nike socks.
"thank you, i think i stole them from layla." i say sitting in between finley and eric.
"i agree they're so cute." eric says wrapping his arm around me in a side hug. mason places pasta in the middle of the table and trent follows with breadsticks. everyone finds there seat and then begins getting food.
"your gtr looks good." finley says.
"thank you, i actually have a bunch of stuff to install but i'm gonna need help." i say and kingston rolls his eyes.
"like what?" colton asks.
"i got eparco seats but the current seats are electric and have so many wires attached to things that i don't understand. i also need to change the break pads but i can do that." i tell him.
"i can help if you want." he offers.
"sure, i'll show you everything after dinner." he nods and i take a bite of my food.
"not alone." mason says.
"mason." corbyn interferes.
"no, i don't trust him to be alone with her." he says glaring at colton.
"i agree." cody says and finley elbows him.
"it's colton." kingston scrunches his eyebrows in confusion.
"well that's not ya'll's choice to make, i'm comfortable with being alone with him. he's just helping me with my car, y'all can calm down." i say and everyone remains quiet.
"he's a piece of shit." mason mumbles.
"so are you." i challenge crossing my arms.
"kingsley!" corbyn says trying to keep the peace.
"no he's a controlling asshole." i tell him.
"she ain't wrong man." trent shrugs.
"fuck you." mason says and trent smiles.
"he's tryna help her i don't see the problem." trent tells me.
"the problem is colton." cody says.
"what did i even do?" he asks.
"you treat people like shit. you have an assault charge! i don't want her alone with someone like you." cody says.
"i was protecting her! that's more than you did, you watched him fucking touch her!" colton yells.
"everyone shut up!" i yell over both of them."cody and mason y'all can't make decisions like that for me anymore. i'm 18 and can do what i want and right now i need colton's help with my car, so shut up and fuck off. y'all complain he's rude to people but y'all are rude to him." i say and then stand up, grab my phone, and plate of food before walking out of the kitchen.
"y'all are both assholes." i hear finley say.
"fuck off." mason tells her.
"don't fucking talk to her like that." cody demands. i ignore them and go upstairs with my food and begin eating alone. a few minutes later there's a knock on my door and i sigh.
"go away." i say but the door opens.
"let's go work on your car princess." colton says but i shake my head.
"i'm not in the mood." i tell him and move my plate of food to my bedside table.
"thank you for defending me." he sits down at the foot of my bed and begins messing with my blanket. i stare at him and lean forward turning his head to see his cheek. it had bruised now and was still red around the bruise. he moves his head and grabs my hand that was on his face. "it's fine, let's go work on your car."
he stands up and leaves and i shake my head. i had a feeling his dad did that to him. his dad has put him through stuff he didn't deserve, he deserves so much better. i stand up, with my phone in hand, and follow him downstairs and to the garage.
"these are the seats." i point to them. "this is the screws for them." i hand them to him. "these are the break pads." he nods and then opens my drive side door. he looks under the seat and i hear him mumble cuss words under his breath. he begins messing with something as i go get a socket wrench set.
"what we're gonna do is unscrew the seats and then disconnect the wires so i can see. with it being on the bars to move i don't exactly know how to get it off yet. do you have a flash light?" he asks and i nod.
i hand him the wrench set and then grab a flashlight. he takes it, turning it on, and then laying down the wrench set and looking at the different sizes. he looks under the seat again with the flashlight before sitting on the garage floor.
"i think i need a 14." he says.
"it's 13." i grab both the 13 and 14 and hand him the socket wrench too. he connects the 13 to it and tries it and it works so he hands me back the 14. i put it up and then patiently wait for him to unscrew the seat.
"can you do the back ones? you're smaller and i don't think you want me climbing all over your car. you're aware you don't have access to the backseat with the new seats right?" he asks.
"yeah i know." i take the wrench and climb to the back seat and use the flashlight to see. i unscrew the seat and he slides it forward and it comes right off of the bars under it that guides it to slide back and forth. he goes to the passenger side so he can angle the driver seat and look under it to unconnect different wires.
"can you unscrew the passenger side real quick and then get out and hold the seat?" he asks and i nod. when i finish unscrewing everything i get out and go to the drive side and pull on the seat. it was only being held by two more wires so once there disconnected the seat comes right out.
"that's heavy." i complain dropping the old seat onto the ground.
"you're just weak. you gotta vacuum cause your car is dirty." he teases.
"hey! i'm a busy women i don't got time to clean my car constantly. also that's not far it's only dirty under the seats where i can't see." i ramble as i grab the vacuum and hand it to him. he cleans my car without complaint while i get to stand and look pretty.
once he's done he takes the plastic off of my old seat and puts it in the car. i climb into the back again and once he's tightened in the front bolts, he hands me the wrench and i do the back. we then do the whole process again of removing the seat and cleaning with the passenger side before we install the other seat.
"god it's hot." colton complains and yanks his shirt over his head before laying all spread out on the garage floor.
"now break pads?" i smile and he nods but puts his arm over his eyes.
"which tire?" he mumbles.
"both, i replace both when i replace one." i tell him and he sighs.
"okay." he stands up and grabs a jack and four way. he loosens the bolts and then puts the jack under my car and raises it up. he sits down in front of my driver side tire and begins loosening the nuts. "you're lucky you're pretty because i'm exhausted."
"thank you colt." i smile and he looks over to me. he motions his head for me to go to him so i do and sit next to him. he places his hand on my chin and leans over and pecks me on the lips.
"you're welcome princess. now if anyone else was out here you'd be in trouble for your ass being exposed earlier." he says and i laugh.
"you liked it. you were full on staring with no shame, i noticed." i say and he smirks.
"of course i did now go away so i can focus for a few minutes." he shoos me away and i laugh going to the other side of the garage. i hear him making a bunch of racket as i sit on my phone watching tiktoks.
"done with one side." he says and then goes to the passenger side. he sits down and i have a full view of his back. i watch as his back muscles flex as he takes off the tire and i stare mesmerizing by how pretty he is. once he's done and he's putting my tire back on he glances over his shoulder and smirks. "did you enjoy the view?"
"yes." i smile and he shakes his head with a small smile on his face. once he's done he cleans up everything as i remain unhelpful and just staring.
"come here princess." i hear him say and i get up walking towards him. he places his hand on my cheek and leans down full on kissing me. i wrap my arm around him and he pulls me closer and groans. i lick his bottom lip like he always does to me and a smirk forms on his lips. his tongue collides with mine and a breathless moan leaves my mouth as he deepens the kiss. "shit kingsley."
we slightly pull away but our faces remain close as we both breath heavy. i lean up and peck him on the lips once more before backing away a little to create some space between us.
"you're intoxicating princess and i don't think i can ever get enough." he smirks and i shake my head.
"shut up." i tell him and he laughs.
"you shut up." he says back and picks up the plastic from the seats and puts it in the trash can. "ready to go back inside?"
"no." i tell him and grab his hand. i stand back on my tip toes and kiss him again. he leans down and wraps his arm around my waist so i'm completely against him and again our kiss turns into a full make out. i couldn't get enough of him and he seemed to feel the same about me. his hand grabs my ass and i slightly gasp into his mouth.
"this is risky, anyone can open that door and see us." he tells me still placing kisses on my skin.
"i don't care." i tell him and he shakes his head.
"i know but one of us has to be sensible and that someone is clearly not you." he mumbles against my neck.
"then stop kissing me." i tell him but he doesn't listen and places another kiss on my neck. i fill his teeth go across my skin and i move away as he laughs.
"god kingsley may, you don't know what you do to me." he says and places a kiss on my forehead.
"you're pretty." i tell him and he smiles. i place a delicate kiss on his cheek, making sure not to hurt the bruise.
"come on let's go in." he says and i agree. we go back inside my house and i go to my room as he goes to kingston's. before he opens the door i watch him glance at me and smile before he opens the door and enters kingston's room.
