parked in
front and jumped out of it as if it had a disease. I pulled my purse
along with me and left the keys dangling in the ignition as I made my
way inside of the old building.
    A red and white “Come
On In, We're Open” sign was stuck on the glass behind the front
entrance, and I obeyed its command, pushing open the heavy door and
sending an array of bells that were attached to it jingling above me.
    “ Hi there. How
can I help you today?” The deep voice came from a large fellow
who was indulging himself in an auto magazine while sitting at the
front counter. He was wearing a pair of bifocal glasses that were
sitting low on his pointed nose, and he had a bushy mustache that
matched the color of his salt and pepper hair perfectly.
    “ Hi, I, uh, hit a
pothole and I think my tire's flat.”
    He put his magazine
down and raised up in his chair to peer out the front window at my
mom's car. “Yep, I can see it from here. I'll call Jonah and
he'll be right out to help you with that.” Turning in his
chair, he grabbed a black corded phone off of the wall and spoke into
it, calling for Jonah to come to the front desk. After he made the
announcement he lazily sat it back on the receiver with a loud clank
and swiveled back to face me. “He'll be out in a sec.”
    “ Okay, thank you
so much.”
    Since it was sunny out
I figured I should get my fill of the rays and go outside. I walked
out the door, sending the bells above me ringing wildly again, and
stood by the front of the car to wait for whoever Jonah was.
    The sun's warmth felt
heavenly on my skin as I took in the area around me. Across the
street from the shop was a cute little pet shop that caught my eye;
it had been quite some time since I had been in one.
    I should go over
there and look at the animals while the tire's getting fixed . . .
    “ Hello,” a
deep voice called out, grabbing my attention.
    My body turned toward
the smoothness of the strangers tone. That was the first time that I
saw Jonah.
    Oh my god, this man
is gorgeous.
    What a stunning human
being he was: his watchful eyes were a magical crystal-blue color;
his hair was a sea of messy brown spikes. A light growth of stubble
lined his strong jaw and made him look even more rugged and
masculine. He was unlike anyone I had ever seen . . . he was
absolutely breathtaking.
    “ Uh,” was
all I could manage to say, like I was some kind of idiot or
something. But, it was kind of mutual. The expression he had when I
turned around was that of surprise, like he wasn't expecting me to look the way I did; I was hoping that it was a good thing.
    I cleared my throat and
tried a second time to speak normally to him. “Hi, um, my tire
is flat; I think I need a new one.” The words pushed quickly
out of my mouth; I was trying to cover up the fact that I was in
complete awe over his handsomeness.
    His eyes pierced mine
like he was looking into my soul. After a few seconds he broke his
stare and shifted his gaze toward my tire. “Yeah, it looks like
you need a new one,” he agreed, kneeling down to get a closer
look.
    I took advantage of
that moment to explore the back of his well-built body. My eyes
trailed down his neck and over his tight white t-shirt, the prominent
muscles of his shoulders and back displaying themselves nicely
underneath the stretched cotton fabric. He leaned forward and
revealed the tight gray band of his boxers that stuck out from his
baggy jeans, making my mouth water with desire.
    I don't even know
you, but I don't care; I want you.
    “ Your tire looks
pretty worn, it should be replaced anyway,” he said as he stood
up to face me. “It'll take me about thirty minutes and I'll
have it ready for you.”
    His shirt clung nicely
to the front of him as well and revealed his broad and powerful
chest, something I apparently missed when I was too busy looking at
his ravishing face.
    “ Wonderful. Thank
you so much, Jonah.” The sound of his name rolling off of my
tongue excited me.
    He
