Grease stained Tina’s faced and hands as she finished the latest oil change. John advertised the oil changes at below cost, which brought in the business. It was Tina’s job to figure out what the bike really needed in terms of repairs and then with the help of John or Ryan or another mechanic, convince the customer to order the needed repairs. Yeah, they were upselling the customer, but John was honest and if they said it needed to be done, then it did need to be done. And why not let them the credit for the repair? The profit on the repair side of the business was lower than with custom jobs, but the business was steadier. Slowly, John and Ryan were teaching her the more complex repairs and she was so very slowly moving up in terms of what they trusted her to do.<br/><br/>When she saw Ryan heading out to lunch, Tina put down her own tool and sang out to John. “Heading to lunch too.” Her boss was cool and didn't mind covering while his crew went out to lunch. Quickly, she ran after the handsome mechanic. “Can I tag along,” she asked eagerly? She reached out with one small hand and took his. She wouldn't call her feeling toward Ryan a crush. But he did make her feel deliciously warm inside. She tried not to take his friendship for granted. “John’s going to let me do the cylinder and rings in that Kawasaki the fat guy brought in last night. Fucking sweet yeah!”<br/>
