His Unexpected Baby by Jamie Knight
Chapter Seven - Nina
It was terrible. The mechanics had walked out, it almost seemed on strike, and three cars had come in all at once.
Chad was arguing with the head mechanic in his office, so it was just the trainees and me on the floor. They looked lost — like sheep that had just woken up in a stage valley, no shepherd in sight. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but even I could tell it would’ve been good for the garage if none of the work got done. If no one else was going to do it, I figured I might as well take charge.
With a fortifying breath of courage, I adjusted my cap and went up to the first car. It only needed an oil change. That shouldn’t be too hard, even for the other trainees. The second car needed the same. It was a truck and might be a bit more awkward, but it should still be easy enough. The third car, however, required major work to be done on the muffler. It sounded like a dragon when I turned it on to see how bad the problem was. Ordinarily, one got in trouble for a noisy muffler if it went too far and became noise pollution. The only reason Art was still driving being who his father was. No one dared arrest him or even give him a ticket for fear of ending up working traffic — Art’s dad really was that powerful. Not only because he played golf with the chief as well as the District Attorney.
It was okay. I could do this. I just had to focus and think. I don’t think anyone was more surprised than me when I spoke.
“Dale, Jeff, this car oil change, get on it. Eric, Shawn, you’re on the truck.”
I had done my best impersonation of Chad’s boss voice, and it turned out to be surprisingly effective. After a moment’s hesitation, the boys set to work on the oil changes while I went over to start the muffler job.
“Can I help?” Juan asked, looking at the floor as usual as he approached.
I couldn’t tell if he was just shy or thought he might turn to stone if he looked at me directly. Either way, I was glad for the help.
“Sure, hand me tools when I call for them and then stand well back, okay?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
It was strange being called that but also pretty exhilarating. No one had ever spoken to me with a modicum of respect before, outside of Uncle Bill and Auntie Blair, and I actually rather liked it.
The fix didn’t take long. Not having to go get a tool every time helped a lot. When the car was done, I went out to the front and told the customers what was up. I couldn’t do the money stuff. I wasn’t qualified and had to wait for Chad to do that. Yet, it still made me feel good to get the work done. Even if the customers were a bit surprised to find the head mechanic appeared to be a young woman. I didn’t let it go to my head, knowing it was a matter of circumstance as much as anything else, but yeah, I was. Even if it was de facto.
I was reminded briefly of Joan of Arc, the ghost of a smile haunting the corners of my mouth.
Chad came down a while later to find three happy customers on his hands. We listened from the shop floor, a sense of relief permeating the group of trainees. After ringing up the customers, he came out to the shop floor looking genuinely stunned.
“W-what happened?” he asked Eric, who was the oldest of the trainees and the one who’d made the stripper joke.
Sheepishly, Eric crooked his thumb in my direction as I worked on another oil change with Juan. Dale and Jeff were working on another.
“Sh-she took charge and told us what to do,” he explained.
“Nina?” I heard Chad ask as I showed Juan how to put in the new oil.
“What’s up, boss?” I asked.
My voice sounded confident and business-like beyond my years. Nothing like the tone I’d heard Daddy use with employees.
“What happened?”
“I put the boys to work on the oil changes while I did the muffler, with Juan’s assistance. I went to tell the customers the work was done as two more oil changes came in, so we’re doing those. What’s next on the list?”
His mouth actually dropped open, which in addition to being hilarious, was also pretty adorable. I couldn’t help but feel proud of my work as I really had shown my co-workers what I could do, and they all seemed duly impressed. My goal was to graduate at the top of the class and show I belonged there as much as the other trainees — maybe even more.
Still speechless, Chad went over to our car and checked the oil change Juan just finished.
“Good work, Dunn,” he said with a genuine smile.
I started to feel warm as the blush spread over me. The boss was even better looking when he smiled. Particularly when he was smiling at me. I tried not to let my thoughts get too dirty. Though I couldn’t help but wonder what it might be like to have Chad be my first.
I’d never really been attracted to a guy like that before and had been starting to wonder if it was ever going to happen. Though when it can, it came with a boom. Every hormone in my young body was going nuts at the same time. I imagined him on top of me, tenderly taking my flower as I moaned and screamed my delight at the movements of his, no doubt, massive cock inside me.
It was going to be an exciting internship.
