"Its?.. Nice to catch up? Isnt it?" Cruz asked. And she sounded unsure. Lightning couldn't tell if it was a question or a statement really. He nodded in agreement. "We should do dinner sometime." Lightning suggested kindly. Cruz stared even more confused and suprised as she asked nervously "Um?.. Wouldn't that be?.. Inappropriate?.." She faked a small smile. Lightning chuckled explaining "With Sally. Just a normal dinner. The past in the past Cruz. We are just friends now? Right?" Cruz smiled and nodded repeating "Just friends. I like that." They both smiled at each other.
The following morning, Lightning kissed his wife, and his son goodbye. Leaving to meet Tex and Cruz to travel out for the races this weekend. They met up in Tex's private jet. It was amazing. Even though Lightning could of had one. He just preferred to stay back in Radiator Springs most his spare time. With Sally.
"So?.. What is it?.." Lightning asked as they began the climb to their floor.
Cruz answered "Okay um?.. Well.. The last time we were alone i mean?.. I?.. I didn't want you to leave?.. I felt lost and hurt and you don't even understand how badly I wanted to run into your arms and just feel you again?" Lightning stopped at the bottom of the next flight and asked "What about now? Tell me you don't want me.. Please?" Cruz's eyes teared up asking "What?" She did want him. She wanted to feel his embrace and his skin and his lips... Lightning grabbed her shoulders and ordered firmly "Than say it!? Say you can't stand me!? Tell me this won't be a problem!? That there is nothing between us!?" He yelled! Lightning shoved her against the wall the bottom of the stairs and ordered "Say it please!" He begged with a whimper. Cruz closed her eyes and with tears gave in saying, "I don't want you Mr McQueen! I feel!?..Nothing for you!.. What we had is over!.."Cruz yelled and.. She lied.
Lightning genty untied Sally's wrists and softly said "I love you Sally.. I'm never leaving you okay?.." Sally thought that was strange but nodded
Cruz was wearing a white soft robe. She had gotten breakfast. Lightning sighed and spoke up "Why are you doing this?.." He asked. Cruz sat down after setting down two mugs of coffee answering "Because i want to make you feel good about this?.." She smiled. Lightning stared. This was wrong. Really wrong.
"I love you. I love you so much and I hope you know that.." "Of course?" Sally quickly answered. But he fell silent again. He was scared. "Stickers?.. You're scaring me? You'vebeen distant when you're home? And the way you treated Mater?." She added. Lightning nodded and continued.
"I've been.. Having an affair.. With.. Cruz.."
"Sally let me try?" Lightning asked. Sally shook her head snarling "Why? so you can think of her?" Lightning's eyes widened as Sally continued, "I can't stand looking at you Lightning! Please stop trying!? Stop smothering me!" Lightning frowned and stepped back. Sally growled then stormed to the bedroom, slamming the door..
Lightning came home a little late after going through a bunch of paperwork from the school. Sally was on the couch with Colton asleep in her arms. Lightning walked in and asked "You want me to sleep down here again?.." Sally stared and asked "I don't know? Will you be thinking of her?" Lightning shook his head and snarled "Again with this!? Sally I dont think of Cruz!? You are the one who keeps bringing her up!? Not me!" Colt stirred and woke up crying. Sally hrew furious and scolded "Ph look!? Now you woke the baby?" Lightning yelled "That's real nice! I didn't do this!? You did!"..
Sally was furious and yelled "You could at least be home for dinner! Or has Tex finally gotten Cruz back at the office now!?" Lightning yelled "I told you I was helping Tex choose a few students and it went later than expected!? You're one to complain? How many times have you been home late!?" "I didn't sleep with my trainer!" She snapped back! Lightning got into Sally's face asking loudly "You are never gonna let this go are you!?" Sally answered back "I don't know!" Lightning grabbed his keys "Where are you going!?" Sally asked loudly. Lightning stopped and answered "I'm tired of sleeping on the dam couch! I am going going to the hotel!" Sally only snapped "Fine! I don't want to eat dinner with you anyway!" "Great because I wasn't hungry anyway!" Lightning yelled then left slamming the door and speeding off quick!
Lightning returned home to find his wife angry and hurting. It quickly turned into a fight, "How could you do this to me!?" Sally yelled from across the bed, Lightning tried calming her "Sally I'm sorry!? What about the other night!? What about how close we were!?" Sally growled angry slapping the bed "I just needed a good fucking! And unlike you!? I won't cheat again!"Lightning glared and snarled "Sally I'm sorry!? Tell me what to do and I'll fix it!? Please?!" "I don't know!? If I knew it would be fixed!" She yelled and threw a pillow at him. Lightning sighed as they stared at each other. Sally fell onto her knees crying. Lightning rushed over and knelt down holding her. This was gonna be alot tougher than he thought.
"What's she doing here?" Sally asked as she walked in. Lightning's eyes widened as he explained "Work. She's just going over some um?.. things with the speech. Nothing else Sally." Cruz smiled awkwardly and waved "Hi Mrs McQueen.." Sally glared as Lightning added "Nothing happened. Just work Sally." Sally was furious and firmly ordered Cruz "Get out. And don't let me catch you alone with my husband again." Cruz stared. She nodded slowly and glanced at Lightning, "Don't look at him? Get out? Leave!" Sally raised ger voice. Cruz left, shutting the door. Lightning closed his eyes and sighed, awaiting the lecture he was about to endure.
Cruz tried hard not to cry and leaned slowly to Lightning's lips, She stopped to see if he'd pull away but.. He didn't pull away or push her away.. or say a word.. Cruz continued closer and pressed her lips to his. They both closed their eyes and just let the kiss run its course. Cruz grabbed Lightning's shoulder as their lips didnt part yet. Lightning held her hips and opened his mouth to her. Letting their kiss become more passionate.
His hand slid down her hip and gently brushed her ass but then they stopped. Pulling away and resting their foreheads together.. "I love you.." Cruz whispered with her eyes closed, Lightning sighed and softly replied "I know.."
Then the screen turned to a video that made the audience gasp!
Lightning pushed Cruz away and scolded "No! No Cruz! This is not okay!? This is wrong!"
Tex quickly rushed toward the controls to stop this! As the audience watched with such surprise!
Cruz petted Lightning's face and replied "Its only wrong because it's amazing?. It's hot and amazing sex and I want you.."
The audience gasped and began to talk loudly, Chick ordered his camerman, "Quick get a good shot of this!?"
Lightning sighed and rubbed his face. "Don't do this.." He mumbled and whined. Cruz grabbed him and pushed him against the wall. She began to kiss his neck over and over! Sending blood rushing throughout Lightning's body!
Cruz and Lightning glanced at each other with such horror. Then Lightning stared at Sally. Fuck... "Sally.." He muttered.
Lightning closed his eyes with pleasure as Cruz kissed his lips. She bit his lip and pulled it gently. Oh fuck it was so clear he wanted her...
Lightning sighed and nodded as he bit his lips. "What do you want me to do? You choose?.." He asked. Sally shook her head answering "No.. I'm not making this decision for you... You have to choose.. Me or her?.." Lightning hated this. He had to choose... Cruz or Sally. He sighed and answered with a bit of a frown "I've always chosen you..." Sally nodded but didn't seem happy. "I still want you Sally it's just?.." Sally shook her head and asked "Do you?.. Because it sure doesn't feel like it?.." Lightning stared. He hurt her badly. "Just go with her..." She muttered. Lightning hesitated but.. Left.
Then the man got a pen out and started asking "So Miss Sally already knows but I have to let you know? Sally is filing for legal seperation? Not divorce. I mean they both pretty much do the same only legally if you separate you can not re marry?.. Its kinda like a trial divorce? So if we get these few things settled today? You can be free to do as you please as a single person. But if you want to completely terminate the marriage then we can go ahead and file divorce. But you will both need to get seperate lawyers for that." Sally sighed and rubbed her eyes. "It's something I've been trying to tell you for a while? I'm.. I'm pregnant." Lightning's eyes widened as he just stared at her.
"So you called me here to fuck? You literally just used me?" Sally frowned "I am not some booty call you fuck when you need dick? I am your husband and"- "Not anymore!? At this point you are a pathectic excuse who knocked me up!? You fucked her in our house Lightning!? The minute I turned my back!? Bam! You dick was in her!? Get out!?" Lightning was angry and really hurt so just naturally yelled "Fine! So don't call me next time you need a good banging!"
The elevator lurched to a stop with a jerk as the lights flashed on and off for two seconds and then went off completely.
Sally hesitated but slowly eased herself down as the elevator creeked. "Please hurry. This makes Francesco nervous.." Francesco whimpered.
Sally pushed herself down and out, Francesco caught her but he lost his balance and fell on his back with her on top of him. She could feel his heart beat violently as her head lay on his chest. He rolled over and now she lay under him, her body completely trapped under him and both were panting hard, they lay there for several minutes like that, after what felt like an eternity, he asked, "Are you?.. Okay Miss Sally?..." His voice was so soft and sexy with his accent. Sally blushed and in the moment and forever having been attracted to the man, She hadn't been with anyone else but Lightning for over 10 years. So she leaned up and kissed Francesco's lips.
"Sally, this is Cruz."
Excuse me?... Why do you have Lightning's phone?
"Um.. He's actually asleep right now.."
Cruz began to feel nervous.
What were you?.. nevermind..Wake him up. Tonight was a huge misunderstanding and I need to talk to him Cruz.
"I... Well... No. I'm sorry?."
What do you mean no?
Cruz swallowed nervously but felt she should defend Lightning.
"No. Lightning was really hurt and stressed out. He deserves some rest and sleep.. Look.. You don't understand?.."
I don't understand? What?.. I don't think you understand how much of a homewrecker you are!? You slept with my husbandand destroyed my family!? You took what was mine Cruz!
"You know you have no idea how badly Lightning was truly hurt and how hard it was for him when you were pregnant with that other man's kid!? You weren't there for the nights he drank and drank and went on about you and Ben!? i think that was his name? And you weren't there watching him want to cry and pretend he was fine when you made Ben partners with the hotel!? Or when you found out that baby was a boy? That hurt him? Because Lightning was ready to be a father to that child even though it would be a constant reminder of what you did! And you know Lightning and I didn't just hook up? No!? He confided in me, I was there as he hurt. As he drank and vented! I was there for him while you fell in love with some man! We grew together as a relationship slowly and then he chose you! We didn't see each other until well now?.. And when we saw each other it was just?.. Old feelings came back? I'm sure you get that after what you did..."
"I told Cruz I chose her!? I was choosing Cruz over you!" Sally frowned and replied softly "I deserve that..Who you choose is up to you?.. After everything I've done to you I?.. I understand that..." Lightning only growled "Its not that simple!?" Sally buttoned her top back up saying "I'm sorry Lightning..I really am?" Tears came to her eyes.
Lightning shook his head and sighed "I love you but..." Then admitting in a mutter "Cruz is pregnant.." Sally's eyed widened
she had Colton on her hip and apologized "I'm sorry about that.. The joys of pregnancy." She joked with a giggle. Francesco's eyes widened asking "You are pregnant?" Sally nodded and finished ringing the Italian up. Francesco asked "Why do you not tell Francesco?" Sally laughed a little explaining "Well I guess I just didn't know how? I mean it's kinda difficult to come out with Hey?.. I'm pregnant?" Francesco grabbed her hands and replied "You must know that Francesco is here. My mama and papa were in a similar situation.. Francesco knows what it is like without a papa and.. And does not want them to suffer that."
Lightning stood up and kissed Cruz's lips. Pulling her bottom lip with a bit of sucking it as he pulled away and released her. Cruz was surprised mostly because they were in public. "Mr McQueen?.. You... I?." Cruz was speachless. Lightning sat back down and said "Why dont we enjoy dinner?" Cruz nodded staring all wide eyed.
Sally stared and grabbed her phone out. On social site was a photo of Lightning with his tongue down Cruz's throat. They were in public!? Sally felt dizzy and sick as she stood up saying "I have ti go.. I dont.." and she fell fainting! Francesco knelt down and called out "Someone call the hospital!"...
Lightning made his way in and asked "What happened? I got a call from the hospital then you wouldn't even answer?" Sally frowned explaining "I.." She stopped and noticed his black dress shirt and jeans that the lap of him was dry but had something spilt over him and he smelled of alcohol. She thought of the photo and became furious but really hurt at the same time, She began crying pretty hard. Lightning took her hand and softly said "Hey?.. It's okay?.. You just scared me?.." He pulled her close and hugged her. Sslly cried into Lightnings arms, into his chest. She was heart broken. Then Francesco walked up into view and Lightning stared dead at him asking rudely "What is he doing here?" Sally pulled away answering "He took me home.. I asked him to." Lightning glared at Francesco. Francesco added "Ci. She had a spell at dinner." "Why are you having dinner with thi guy!?" Lightning loudly asked. Sally sighed explaining "Lightning its not your business okay?.." That pissed Lightning off as he then asked Francesco "What the hell are you doing with her Francesco? Don't you need to get home?" Francesco stepped closer and explained "Sally and Francesco were on a date McQueen. She saw a photo of you with your new friend at dinner and fainted." Lightning hurt hearing that. He glanced at Sally. He did this?.. He caused her to faint..
Francesco then added snarling "I believe Miss Sally.. You should tell McQueen to leave before he does any further damage."
"Good luck with that Francesco. You tell Sally I'm coming back to talk to her. Alone." he said firmly. Flo and ramone showed up then with Colton. Lightning then walked to his suv and waved calling out "Guess what! Francesco and Sally are having a baby!" he lied sarcastically. he and Cruz then left. Sally stepped out with Francesco who was deep in thought and confused by McQueens odd chuckle and sarcastic remarks. Flo stared confused at Sally and Francesco as Ramone grabbed Colton out...
