Street lights and headlights streamed by the black eclipse.
The sound of the engine humming, relaxing the driver. A favorite sound to the brunette.
The radio blasted music that wasn't being paid attention too. You couldn't concentrate on anything but the road in a race. If you did you were out.
The only thing you needed to look at was your navigation system and even then, you look down too long, your place is gone. The brunette's brown eye's flickered from the road to the navigation system and back up at the road. In just that split second the driver saw how close the finish line was. Now nothing could calm the pounding heart of the brunette.
Not the humming engine, not the star lit sky, not even the music.
The only thing that would calm the driver now would be to pass the finish line in one piece. And that's just what happened.
The car spun to a stop and people crowded the car cheering and whistling, those that won their bets did anyways. Those that lost, yelled and hollered cursing and flipping the driver off. The driver finally stepped out of the car to have a girl wrap her arms around the driver's slim body.
"Thank god you're ok. I thought you were a goner back at the Texaco gas station." The girl said.
"Spence you know they couldn't do anything. I'm too good." The driver said cockily.
"Ashley, that was SWEET! I have to ask though, where did you learn to drift! Seriously, you almost killed yourself slamming into that wall man!" Aiden said patting his friend on the back.
"Chill out, that was my first time." Ashley said, she brushed her long brown hair with her fingers and looked back at Spencer who still had fear in her eyes.
"Spence I'm fine, really." She said sympathetically. Spencer nodded and Ashley lifted her chin and pecked her lips, causing Spncer to smile. When the other drivers pulled up they were furious, none of them did anything more than just glare and mumble pushing people off of them. Ashley smiled and took Spencer's hand.
"You ready to go home?" She asked. Spencer nodded and the two got in the car Ashley just drove.
Spencer looked out the window and up at the stars which did not go unnoticed by Ashley.
"Beautiful huh?" She asked. Spencer turned and looked at Ashley.
"Yeah, I love a starry night." She replied. Ashley smiled to herself. "Oh, I thought you saw your reflection." She stated. She knew it was cheesy, but she was a cheesy romantic, so it fit. Spencer's eyes made their way back to Ashley and she smiled again, how she got so lucky she didn't even know, but she did, and she was glad she did too. It wasn't too long ago she had such a terrible life. Filled with drama and hatred, but now, it was easier, life was nice, it wasn't so scary, and she grew to love it. Her thoughts were broken by a warm hand snake across her leg and squeeze her thigh. Again she smiled and returned her gaze to Ashley, who was busily paying attention to the road.
For a drag racer, Ashley was definitely a safe driver, doesn't cut any turns, no passed red lights, waits for pedestrians, and yet when it was time for a race, all the rules just disappeared. They no longer existed. Spencer didn't mind though, as long as Ashley wasn't scratched up or hurt too badly, she was fine with it. She looked back down at the hand that ever so sneakily slid it's way further up her leg. Her smile grew and before Ashley did anything more she laced her finger's through the ever so sneaky hand.
When they reached a tall mansion Spencer sighed. "Well, I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow." She said. Ashley smiled and nodded.
"I'll be there." She said happily. Just as Spencer didn't know how she got so lucky, Ashley had no clue as to how she got so lucky either. She watched a smile grow on Spencer's face and kissed her deeply before Spencer stepped out of the car. Spencer closed the door with the blue and green flames on it quietly so she still had a chance of sneaking back into her house and watched as Ashley drove off blowing her a kiss. Spencer smiled and turned around slowly making her way up to the house. She sighed and walked around to the side climbing up the crisscrossed pattern of wood that ended right under her window.
She struggled but eventually she made it in her room with just a small thud. Wiping herself off she sat on her bed and stared into the darkness. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep for about another hour, so she thought about the outfit she would wear tomorrow, she thought about the race, she thought about the guys Ashley raced against, and worried about how much stronger and taller they were compared to Ashley . Sure you didn't want to mess with Ashley, but that was at school, out on the streets she knew Ashley was not going to win a fight with those guys.
tucking some hair behind her ear, she got changed for bed, knowing she'd only get about six hours of sleep. It was better than nothing though, and she was not going to complain, she at least got to see her girlfriend before bed. That made it all worth while. Slipping on her flannel P.J. bottoms and throwing on an old skinny strap tank-top, she snuggled under the blankets and hugged her little bear Ashley won for her at a carnival when they first met. One last smile slipped on her face and she eventually drifted off to sleep.
