chapter 2

I let out a small laugh as Han left the room, he was so easy to mess with it was unbelievable sometimes. even after three years together he still couldn't tell when I was messing around. I headed over to my underwear draw and pulled out a neon pink bra and hooked it up. Walking to my wardrobe I grabbed a pair of my favourite denim shorts and a sheer black skin tight top that showed of my toned stomach. I quickly put them on and grabbed my white converses, as I was about to leave my room and make my way downstairs I decided to let my hair down from the tight bun on the top of my head allowing my long dark locks to fall half way down my back.

As I reached the bottom of the stairs I was quickly ambushed by Twinkie.

"Hey girl. Where you been at? You said you would be at the races tonight."

"Yeah o know but I had to work a double shift. one of the girls was sick" I said over the loud music pumping out of the speakers Twinkie started to move me more into the room.

"Yeah well you shoulda called and said something. Han kept askin' me where you where at. Wanna drink?"

"Sorry and sure why not."

I began looking around the room for someone else to talk to as Twinkie disappeared into the sea of people at the party. I was looking for Reiko or Earl when I felt a set of arms rap around my waist. The owner of the arms pulled me into their chest and began to kiss the side of my neck. I leaned into the person more, pushing my body tight against the person, not because I let strangers kiss me. No. But because I would always recognise those arms and kisses as belonging to one and only one person. Han.

I spun around so I was face to face with him, but still close.

"Hey" I said smiling up at him.

"Hey right back" he replied leaning his forehead against mine. We stayed like this for a while. Just the two of us, against the world, no one else. That's what Han always said. But just like all good things must come to an end, all intimate moments must be ruined by Twinkie.

"Hey Han, here's your pocky and Takashi wants to talk."

He sighed while I took the packet of pocky and opened it.

"He said it was important." With that Twinkie was swallowed back up by the sea of models, racers and chasers.

"Come on" Han said taking the pocky from my hand and leading me to the office at the back of the garage.

Han pov:

Ellie walked behind me as we entered the room. Takashi was standing by the window and acknowledged our presence with a nod in direction to the chair. We sat a moment in silence before anyone spoke.

" In your absence from Tokyo I wish to know who will be in charge of the garage and insuring that my racers cars will be fixed?"

"Absence from Tokyo? What are you talking about?" Ellie questioned leaning forward in her seat.

"I see. You haven't told her yet. And with you leaving for Rio so soon how unfortunate the news comes from me." Takashi said with mock regret heavenly laced in his voice. I sent daggered looks to Takashi and then turned my attention onto Ellie. She tilted her chin up a bit and looked me straight in the eyes.

"What's he talking about?"

"I'm going to Rio."

"When ?"

"Tomorrow."

"Who else knew?"

"-"

"Who. Else?"

"Twinkie, Earl, Reiko, -,"

WHAT!" Ellie shouted getting up from her chair. "So basically everybody but me, huh, is that what your trying to tell me? Even the models and those racer skanks knew?" She was furious at me I knew for sure but she was turning me on. I was finding it hard to not take her on the desk then and there until she couldn't walk straight.

"Ellie-" I started only to have Takashi cut in.

"Well it was a going away party."

Ellie pov:

That was the final straw. I was out the door. How could he? After all we had been through he couldn't even tell me could he? NO!

I was in my room looking through my bag for my car keys when Han came in.

"Ellie-"

"No. How could you? How could you let me look such a fool in front of Takashi ? How come you didn't tell me?" I was so angry and upset I was near tears.

"Ellie." He began as he walked towards me and spun me in his arms till I was facing him. "A friend called three days ago and needs my help. I didn't tell you because I knew we would argue and I didn't want that."

"But you told Takashi, why? "

"He's my buissness partner and needed to know"

"But I didn't?" I said as tears started forming in the back of my eyes. " Or am I not important enough?"

"Of course you are. Look at me Ellie. You know you are."

"Then why did everyone but me know? Even the racer chasers and models knew." I said as Han pulled me closer and cupped my chin in his hands. Leaning into me with a smirk on his lips he said " If I didn't know any better I would say you were jealous -"

"Well its a good thing you do then, isn't it?"

"I guess it is." He said as he leaned in and captured my lips. The kiss was sweat and passionate and made me feel as if I wad floating on cloud nine. When he pulled away for air I began to trail kisses down the side of his face and down his neck.

"You know if you're leaving tomorrow we should make the most of tonight." I whispered seductively in his ear.

"I couldn't agree more" he said as he recaptured my lips.
