…Chapter Three…
…This Night Was Full of Surprises…
A little bit later, we got to - what looked like a parking garage of some kind and Neela rolled down the window. "Hey, Toshi."
"Sup, Neela."
"Is Sean here?"
"Yeah, he came with Han."
"Thanks." Neela rolled up the window and drove inside.
"Who's Han?" I asked.
"He's Sean's best friend."
"Oh." I nodded.
Seconds later, I saw a bunch of cool looking cars that everyone was showing off. Damn, I feel like I was at the night races back home. But overall, I was impressed.
Neela parked her car, smiled at me, and said "Come on."
We got out of her car and I looked around. There was still a lot of Asians, but outfit wise - I fit right in. I mean, most of them are dressed in way less than me.
We walked up to this orange and black RX-7 and I was in love, with the car. "Wow." I whispered to myself. I used to know someone who owned one. I saw an Asian guy with shaggy black hair, sitting on the hood, popping chips or something into his mouth.
"Hey, Han."
"Neela." he nodded, then looked me up and down. It was kind of making me blush. He was adorable. "Who's your friend?"
"This is Alex, she's from Los Angeles." she paused. "Alex, this is Han."
"What's up." I said, not really knowing what to say.
"Nothing much." he shook his head. "Just waiting for someone to race."
"Where's Sean?" asked Neela.
"He's talking to D." he said, not taking his eyes off of me.
I heard Neela walk away, then I said "I like your car."
"You like cars?"
"Yeah, I used to have an Integra and I used to race all the time."
He looked at me, shocked, and said "I think I'm in love." I giggled, then he motioned me to sit next to him. I did, but not too close. I felt him lift up my wrist and look at my tattoo. "Who's Daisy?"
"She was my baby sister."
"What do you mean, was?"
I saw the genuine concern in his eyes and said "She was killed with stray bullets from a drug deal gone bad."
"I'm sorry." I nodded. "How old whas she?"
"Seven."
"Oh… I'm sorry to hear that."
I gave him a weak smile and said "It's okay." I shrugged my shoulders. "Shit happens."
All of a sudden I saw everyone scatter like roaches. Han grabbed my arm and said "Get in."
I did as I was told and got into Han's car, then buckled up. I really didn't feel like going to jail right now. "What about Neela?" I asked.
"I saw her and Sean getting into her car."
"Oh… good." I looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"
"My place. When ever this happens and the cops come to break it up, which isn't that often." he paused. "But when it does, everyone knows to meet up at my garage."
"Oh."
"So, if you don't mind me asking Alex." he started. "Was Daisy in the wrong place at the wrong time… or?"
"Yeah, she was supposed to be at the store with… Dad." I shook my head in disgust. "Well… Dad decided to take a detour for some stupid drug deal, but Daisy ended up paying the price."
"What happened to your dad?"
"He's serving a life sentence in San Quentin and I hope he rots in hell."
"Damn." he shook his head. "So… what about your mom?"
"She, um, died of an overdose, some years back." I said, looking out the window. "Like I said, shit happens… mostly to me, but…" I trailed off.
As we were at a stop light, he grabbed my hand, and said "I'm sorry to hear, that you've been through all of that."
You don't even know the half of it, I thought to myself, and shrugged. "Yeah, well, I've gotten through it, the best I knew how."
"But if you ever need anything… anything at all, don't hesitate to ask."
I could tell he was being truthful. I nodded and said "Okay, Han… thank you." then the light turned green and he drove off.
I sat there thinking, if it was the right choice to open up to Han the way I did, letting my guard down. I mean, I've kept these walls up for a long time, and even though I just met Han, I find him very easy to talk to, and that doesn't normally happen to me.
We pulled up to his garage, no more than ten minutes or so, and got out of his car. I saw Neela's car and was relieved. She ran up to me a few seconds later, and said "I didn't think you made it."
Before I could respond, Han said "What are you talking about, Neela? She's in good hands."
I blushed as she rolled her eyes, then I heard something I never thought I'd ever hear in my lifetime.
"Rizzo?" I snapped my head up and I thought I was seeing things. "Is that you, Rizzo?"
My eyes widened, like saucers. "Sean?"
"You two know each other?" Twinkie asked, confused.
I ran up, gave Sean a hug, and said "I can't believe this." I backed up to look at him. "But never speak my middle name in public again." he nodded, then I let go of him. I turned around and saw all the confused looks on everyones faces, at our little reunion.
"Me and Alex." Sean started. "Were best friends, when I was living in Tucson."
"Yeah, then Grandma kicked me out and I moved back to L.A."
Everyone nodded, and Sean said "So after you moved back, how have you been?"
"Um… well, I met some friends."
"And then what?"
I shook my head and said "Um, here I am."
Sean nodded and said "It's good to see you."
"Yeah."
A few minutes later, Sean and Neela walked away to 'talk' I suppose. I don't think Neela like the fact that I was hugging on her boyfriend. Well, all I got to say is, I was there first and Sean was my best friend and that's all we'll ever be anyway. So I don't think Neela has to worry about me trying to steal her man. It's not going to happen, besides Han is looking pretty adorable.
Han tapped me on my shoulder and said "Would you like a beer?"
"Sure."
He nodded and reached into his fridge, pulling out a Bud Light Lime. He gave it to me and before I could say 'thanks', it was ripped out of my grasp and I heard "You're not old enough to drink this." I knew that voice and it got my blood boiling. I saw the 'what-are-you-doing' look plastered on Han's face. I smirked and slowly turned around.
"Um…" Han started, but stopped himself.
"Hello, Alex." I was so pissed off, I was literally shaking. "I knew you were coming here and I wanted to tell you in person… I'm sor-" I had enough, before he could finish his sentence, I punched him in the jaw as hard as I could. He fell to the ground, in shock, looking at me like I was crazy. "Fuck, Alex! What was that for? I'm trying to tell you, I'm sorry."
"Hey, what's going on?" Sean asked, walking up with Neela, Earl, and Twinkie.
I ignored Sean's question and yelled "I don't accept your apology, you punk-bitch! My life was already fucked up! You didn't have to make it worse!"
As he got back up again, I tried going after him, but I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I could tell it was Han, because he smelled like cherry blossoms or something sweet like that.
"Alex… you need to calm down." Once I heard that voice, I froze for a second, then slowly turned around. No fucking way.
