Mechanics and Mistletoe ... A Christmas Short

Christmas is coming ... the goose is getting fat ...

Hold up, wait a minute ... that's a song I taught my kiddos. Fun round, check it out. But, you guys, as my readers, are getting a Christmas present! A short story, Mechanics and Mistletoe!

Here's the summary ...

Bella, an uptight, cold executive, is on her way home for Christmas. The first Christmas she’s been home since she started working for the Fortune 500 company that hired her from college, almost ten years ago. The only reason why she’s going home is to meet her brother’s new wife and her parents threatened to cut her out of the will if she didn’t make time to see her family. However, it’s snowing, a blizzard and Bella’s car wasn’t really designed for the cold. Or snow. Or anything other than sunny, perfect weather.
Edward Cullen is alone on Christmas Eve, working, as usual. His family was long gone and all he had left was his family business, Cullen Towing Service and Garage, though that wasn’t going well for him. Business was slow. His bills were piling up and he was afraid he was going to lose his livelihood if something didn’t turn around. Over the radio, he heard about a stranded driver, stuck on the back road. Edward pulled on his winter coat, gloves and started his truck, driving to the location.
A small sports car was stuck in a ditch, almost completely covered with snow. A beautiful woman, wearing heels and a fur coat was shivering outside her car. Edward immediately recognized her as the girl he once knew and had secretly crushed on for years. Her brother, Jasper, pretty told him to fuck off and said that she was too good for him, a grease-monkey, a blue-collar boy.
Can this uptown girl fall for a guy with grease on his hands?

I'm planning on posting this once I get it written. I've got a rough plan and I'll post it, perhaps, starting on Friday with updates coming Monday/Friday with teasers on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The final Chapter will post on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and everything in between!
