Chapter 3

Lewis and Roxanne couldn't be any happier to have each other. When Lewis wasn't hanging out with Jeff, he was always seen with Roxanne. When the two lovers were seen around town, they never left each other's side, not even for a minute.

Now, it came time for Lewis to prepare for the final race of the season. He trained hard for two days, and after he finished his training for the race, Roxanne was there waiting for him with Jeff.

"Well, just have the race tomorrow and then it'll be the offseason," Lewis said looking at Jeff and Roxanne.

"And once it does enter the offseason, we'll get to spend every minute of every day together," Roxanne replied.

"I'm already looking forward to it honey-bunch," Lewis answered with a smile and then gently nuzzled her.

Jeff just sat there smiling as he watched them. He was glad that Lewis and Roxanne had gotten together. It was the happiest he had ever seen Lewis since they had become best friends.

Lewis then looked at both Roxanne and Jeff. "What do you guys say we go out to dinner? I know of a good place to go."

"That sounds like a lovely idea," Roxanne answered. "What do you think Jeff?"

"Sounds good to me," Jeff said nodding in response.

Soon enough, the trio left the track where Lewis had been training and headed off to the restaurant he'd mentioned to them. Not long after that, they arrived at their destination. It wasn't anything too fancy, but it was a nice place to go have a nice quiet dinner.

After a while, the three of them enjoyed a nice dinner, even telling a few stories and sharing some laughs.

Not too much later, the trio drove out of the restaurant, feeling satisfied with their dinner.

Once they left the restaurant however, the three of them didn't get very far because Lewis saw another car he didn't trust. Roxanne and Jeff looked at him, not knowing why they were stopping. They noticed that the expression on his face had now turned serious.

"What's going on Lewis?" asked Roxanne curiously.

"Yeah man, why'd you stop?" Jeff asked in wonder.

Lewis motioned ahead of them, and then Jeff and Roxanne looked in the direction he was looking. Then they saw who Lewis was looking at.

The car they were looking at was a McLaren like Lewis, but instead had green paint with huge black pinstripes on the sides.

"That's Tarquin Gonzales, a new rookie on the racing circuit." Lewis watched the rookie with a look of strong dislike.

"I've seen how he's raced on television before," Jeff said in reply.

"What do you two mean?" Roxanne questioned them.

"He's always trying to cheat to win races. It angers him that I always keep coming out the winner of every race," Lewis replied.

Lewis sat there for the next couple minutes watching the rookie with a disdainful expression on his face.

"Come on, Lewis. You should get home and rest up for tomorrow," Roxanne told him.

Eventually the three of them headed out. Jeff went back to the hotel where he was staying while Lewis drove Roxanne home. He didn't want to leave her, but he knew he had to get rested up for the big race the next day.

Soon enough, the two lovebirds arrived outside Roxanne's home.

"Well, good night Lewis my love," Roxanne said lovingly.

"Good night my little sugar pie," Lewis responded. "I'll see you before the race."

"Sounds good to me," she answered.

The two lovers then shared a slow, languid kiss, both of them enjoying every second of it while it lasted. Then they slowly pulled away from each other.

"I love you Lewis."

"I love you, too Roxanne. I'll see you tomorrow."

Lewis then headed back home to get rested for the race. Once he got back home, he settled down into bed, waiting for tomorrow to be over.
