Darling ⇾ Jasper Hale

Somewhere in Arizona, there's a sweet, honest garage shop called; M'amore Garaggi which literally translates to love garage. The most amazing and loving group of friends work there now but before it was a shop started from the love of cars and just tinkering. A man and a woman fell in love in Arizona on vacation with their families and had a healthy baby girl that they named Rosa Caruso which translates to Rose Boy. Funny, I know trust me, I know since I am Rosa but growing up in the shop everyone started calling me Oni which translates into Demon and honestly, it fits.

I took over the shop when I was around 17 not only because my old man and mama left this world but because I absolutely have an unhealthy obsession with cars. Do I wanna change it? No. Will I ever change it? No. I am glad to be unlike all the girls that wake up and put on 10 pounds of makeup as well as wearing revealing clothes to catch the attention of the opposite sex. Speaking of which I really don't like the opposite sex, no I am not a lesbian though I can't say I haven't tried but I just grew up around guys my whole life so I guess I don't beg for their attention like other women. I am walking from my sanctuary that my old man left me to my bike which is parked about a 10-minute walk down by the front gate. After getting off work last night I enjoyed the not 100-degree weather and decided to park and walk to the house. I have to head out right after the sun gets up to head to college and then the shop. Let me take you back to waking up this morning to let you know how amazing my day has been thus far. I woke up in my comfy, amazing bed to fall on the ground and probably bruised my freaking butt then went to brush my teeth but oh no, I am out of toothpaste and would have bought more yesterday but by the time I left the shop all the stores were closed. I screamed with my mouth shut to alleviate some anger and frustration.

I went and knocked on my roommate's door after confirming his truck outside the 2 story house through the window. I knocked louder and heard his low gruff voice call out " Just come in Oni!" I walked in shielding my eyes with my hand. " Yo, I am out of toothpaste can I borrow some? " I heard a woman huff in annoyance and him I think getting out of bed. " Yeah, of course Rosa. Go ahead, you know where the restroom is." I raced over keeping my eyes down because I had walked in on some weird shit before and I just didn't wanna relive that. Seeing your brother not by blood but someone who has grown up with you since you were in diapers naked and balls deep in someone is gross. I put some toothpaste on my toothbrush and head back to my restroom to get ready for school. " You know you didn't have to wake me for this, just come grab something if you need it." I scoffed with my toothbrush in my mouth already brushing my teeth and looked in the mirror at him. " Jakey, last time I did that I was literally traumatized, and not only that, you proceeded to give me the sex talk as if I was the one that was getting laid, the next day." Jakey walked over and kissed me on the top of my head. " Hey, you're our sweetheart we just wanna protect you. " I rolled my eyes and started brushing my hair that I recently dyed back to black, which has grown pretty long since I don't wanna cut it. I went to my closet and grabbed a black tank top with Black skinny jeans that had holes in them. I liked these jeans as they had red roses embroidered on them. I went to my black dresser and grabbed a black sports bra and some black boy shorts then headed to my restroom I put my clothes on the hooks that are on the back of the door. I kinda am obsessed with black if you couldn't tell, then turned and bowed to Jake who was just about to leave for his one-night stand and he laughed doubling over. I took a nice cold shower knowing that today is gonna be a hot one. When I was done I realized I didn't grab a towel so I grabbed my phone and stopped playing music and called Jake. The phone rang a couple of times and then was cut off with " I am sorry I can't get to the phone right now please leave your name..." I hung up and heard someone in my room. " If you ain't Jake I'm a shoot you. " I said towards the door and then opened it a crack to see Jake handing me a towel. " I wouldn't dare, I know you are a good shot." I took the towel and mouthed a thank you.

I got dressed and went downstairs to start my coffee which Jake had already got ready and some toast for me. " You are a lifesaver. " I chuckled then kissed his forehead as I took my coffee and toast to the back porch to eat and smoke my morning cig. As I was scrolling through orders for this month's parts and cost for the shop as well as taking a bite of my toast I heard his one-night stand loudly talking so I could hear her probably on purpose. " Aw, I don't get any breakfast Jakey? " I smirked knowing only those in the shop and I called him that but since I called him that, she was trying to mark her spot in his life. I heard a growl and then Jake went outside with her hot on his heels. " No, you can't call me Jakey, Em. Last night was fun and all but I have to get going. " Jake handed her phone and purse to her. Em as he called her I could hear huffed and left. I finished breakfast and my cig then went inside and did the dishes as I saw Jake with a bowl of cereal. " You know they always get us wrong, honey. " I smirked and said as I was drying my hands. " Yeah ew, don't call me that and I don't care because the women I fall for will understand and see you as a sister as well or I will die with all the fights I will have to hear." Jake got up to clean his bowl and then headed upstairs but stopped halfway. " Do you need a ride, Honey? " He smirked as he turned his head and yelled from the halfway point while I was getting my biker gear on and grabbing my backpack n keys at the bottom of the stairs. " No Honey, I will be just fine. " I stuck out my tongue and then headed out the door. Jake has always been the best friend anyone could ask for and people always assume things but I don't know, we tried to kiss once just to see if there was anything, and before we could even do it, we both laughed and said at the same time that we loved the other but not like this. Ever since then we have joked with little pet names that lovers use or helped the other when a one-night stand was being too much but there was no chemistry between us as lovers. So yeah, my morning was hell but hey I get to ride my gorgeous bike to school and uh, make a mental note to pick up toothpaste before I go to the shop.
