The Mechanic.
The street lights dim behind me.
The garage door is open and my car is in view.
The paint glimmers in the darkness, Opal silver tones sweep the room.
I stop at the end of the drive and put out my cigarette, squashing it into the floor with my boots.
He hasn’t noticed me.
I see him hunched over the bonnet. Baggy jeans with an art work of oil and dirt. His t-shirt exposing the very top of his ass. His silver hair, messy from the work.
I walk confidently forward, the metal heels of my boots distinctive on the drive.
He turns to see me. Leaning against my car he wipes his hands with a smile on his face. I can help but to reciprocate.
I carry on until I’m a few feet in front of him. I was only picking up my car!
‘Alright’ he says as he looks me up and down, his eyes greedy and desperate. I can feel it in my soul. The build. The desire. The ache.
