Here's chapter 2. I can't promise the updates will be this quick. I just happen to be on spring break and so I have been doing a lot of writing. Enjoy
Chapter 2: return
"You must be Scott." I see a guy about my height with brown hair is holding up the Garage door.
I step out of the car and walk over and shake his hand. "That's me."
"Well pull that ride in here and let me get to work on her. Jessica will take you and let you get cleaned up and get some food."
I nod. "I appreciate it man. But I can help you with the car."
He laughs. "Nah its cool bro I got it." I drive the beamer in the garage as David shuts the door. I pop the hood, and hand him the keys. "Be gentle please she is my baby."
He nods as Jessica walks out. "Scott follows me."
We walk up stairs. "Here's the bathroom and if you want a change of clothes here is a t-shirt and jeans you look about David's size."
I smile, "Thanks."
I walk in the bath room and splash water on my face. You can do this. Scott, you have to go back, it's your only option. You have been run out of the last 3 cities you've gone to. It's your home. I run a hand through my scruffy beard a good shave isn't out of the question. I find a razor and shave away the scruff. I change into the red David's garage shirt and the ripped jeans Jessica gave me. I run a comb through my hair. Dust off my leather jacket place my aviators on my pocket and walk back out. I walk back down stairs to see David busy at work with Jessica helping him.
"I appreciate the shirt and jeans man."
"Don't mention it any friend of Mia's is family here." He slides under the car. "It's gonna be a few hours before she's ready."
Jessica interrupts. "I'll drive you to the best dinner in town."
"It's alright you don't..."
"I wasn't offering I was telling now get in."
We climb in her Mazda Rx 8. As we pull out she gases it hitting 100 in no time. "Dang… where did you learn to drive."
"She laughs my fiancé taught me."
"I knew there had to be something there with you and David."
She nods, "I donno what it is. I was just drawn to him. We met at a race on night. And I was instantly his."
I smile as I think back to the night I met the woman of my dreams.
Flashback
I was new in town and had made fast friends with Darius Green. He was forming a crew of new racers. I grew up around cars, loved everything the world of street racing had to offer. Sadly I had no money. I walked into Darius's shop looking for work. We get to the race seen early that night and Keith is getting the tires checked on his car. The jack falls and his foot is crushed under the tire. They rush him to the ER. Darius is pissed to say the least. "I have no driver I have no race!"
"I'll do it." I say
"You sure you're up for this kid. This is the big times."
I nod. I get in the car and crank it up. The engine purrs to life. Darius climbs in the passenger seat as we drive to the start line. He gives me the basics of the car. As we pull up I see this sleek looking skyline pull up to the line. The windows roll down to reveal that it's a female driving. The driver is wearing a grey shirt she has black hair, soft features, she looks like a model. She turns to me and smiles and I was dumbfounded. That was it from that night forward I was hers.
End of flashback
We pull in the dinner. I come out of my trance as I hear Jessica shut her door. "Sorry about back there. I was just thinking."
She smiles. "It's all good you looked kinda in a trance."
We walk in, and I grab a burger fries and a chocolate shake. We eat and talk. Then she drives me back to the shop. By the time we get back David is almost done. He finishes up the mods. "Thanks man. How much do I owe you?" I ask
"It's on the house bro. Just be safe out there you know rockport PD never gives up."
I smile, "They'll have to catch me first."
He hands me the keys I shake his hand and get in the beamer. He opens the door and I back out. I drive until I reach the next city and pull in at a hotel. The next morning I begin the ling drive back home. I reach the dark canyon road and I know im close. I've been driving for hours and I reach the palmont city 10 mile sign right after dark. As I am driving I try to shake memories that come flooding back. I remember things I hadn't thought about since that night. The first flashback I have is of the night Nikki and I got the Subra Darius gave me running. Then I see Darius before that night saying "Don't disappoint." Then of course I see the race again. "Look between the heat of the crews you need to walk away. Take my car and go get out of here." I still don't get it all. What happened that night? Why me? Where is the money? Well now it's time to find out some answers. I am shaken from my thoughts when someone rams into the back of my car. "What the hell?"
"Hey guess whose back." I hear a voice over my sms.
"Cross. What the hell. You just don't give up do you?
"Not until I get my man. I always get my man."
