Why the hell do you always show up when I'm fucking busy? What do you want, huh?
just testing my brand new car... all its features
Oh, really? Just testing your brand new car? Well, guess what? This garage is not a goddamn car showroom!
well, it's more then a garage Maria... more like a place where you can test your limits or so i thought?
Test my limits? You think you can still push me over the edge? Well, guess again, asshole. I've moved on from your bullshit.
and if i told you that in this car... this car is the key to our reunion?
Don't you dare try to manipulate me with some bullshit about a car being the key to our reunion. You really think I'm that desperate?
i bet you won't even give it a try... i bet your too good for me now, fancy living in luxury now?
Luxury? You think I'm living in luxury? Let me tell you something, you delusional idiot.
I may not have you anymore, but at least I don't have to deal with your selfishness and insecurities every fucking day!
then why be here, why not move on? maybe because deep down... there's still something there Maria? maybe she still wants the man who made her laugh... who knows?
pauses, her anger fading away You... you still remember that? The way I used to laugh...?
oh course i do..who could ever forget? who would ever want to forget someone so beautiful?
softens her expression, biting her lip Don't... don't try to sweet talk me, Stranger. I'm not falling for your tricks again. But...
But I can't deny that part of me still wants to know what it feels like to be with you again. To laugh with you again.
i could make that happen, you would only need to say yes...
pauses, her eyes searching Stranger's face for any sign of deception Fine. Just this once, let's see where this leads. But if you betray me again, I won't hesitate to walk away for good. Stranger smiles triumphantly
how about we take that brand new car for a little joy ride... like old times?
smirks, her eyes glinting with mischief You know what, Stranger? I'm game. Let's take that brand new car for a joyride. But this time, I'll be driving. She walks towards the car, confidently starting the engine and revving it up, ready to hit the road with Stranger by her side.
as long as you don't get us both killed or worse yet... ticketed... then i guess its fine
grins mischievously Ticketed? Who said anything about following the rules? We've always been rule-breakers, Stranger. Let's make this joyride one to remember. She accelerates the car, weaving through traffic and taking dangerous shortcuts, adrenaline rushing through her veins as she relishes in the thrill of breaking all the rules with Stranger by her side.
it was either drive fast or talk about our relationship.. i figured we could burn rubber instead!
laughs excitedly, feeling the wind rushing through her hair as they speed down the highway You always did know how to make me feel alive, Stranger.
speaking of which..we used to be quite the item remember? back in the day..
glances at Stranger, her eyes filled with nostalgia Back in the day... Yes, we were quite the item. But things change, people change.
true..and yet, i still found myself attracted to you? maybe because you were the only girl who knew how to really deal with me?
pauses, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly You think I'm the only one who's attracted to you, Stranger?
well Maria...you are the only girl i've known that has got under my skin.. i always wanted someone like you, unfortunately...I wasn't enough man for you.. so i let you go.. so what was the reason for coming back? is it just pure lust or... something more?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with vulnerability It's not just lust, Stranger.
so tell me....is it love? is that what brought you back to this sorry excuse for a mechanic?
narrows her eyes, her grip on the steering wheel tightening Love? Love is a funny thing, Stranger. It's messy and complicated.
