*Flashback*
She looked at her boyfriend, then at the girl in the bed, who looked scared.
"Natalie, let me explain." He began. She couldn't stop staring at the two, and sighed. She turned around and looked at the dresser. The vase, at the edge of dresser, caught her eye. She stared at it, and grabbed it.
"I remember the flowers that were in this vase. It was a mixture of white and red roses, my favorite combo. You bought them for me when I gave you a second chance after finding some text messages in your phone." She explained, as she observed the vase. "They were goregous and so was our relationship but things die in the end." She sighed, then threw the vase at the wall; between them. The two, quickly jumped out of the bed with the sheets covering their body. Natalie grabbed a bag from the closet and began filling it.
"Natalie, baby, let me explain."
"Explain, what? What I see, just about explains it all." She answered, as she continued to pack the bag.
"I love you, baby" He pleaded. She throws the bag at him, and points towards the door.
"Get out" She demanded.
"Come on, baby." She shook her head
"Don't 'Come on, baby' me," She hissed. "I will send you the rest of your shit, but you need to get the fuck out, now!" He sighed, and walked out of the door with the girl. As the girl walked by her, she had to hold herself back from hitting her. Every force in her body wanted to kick her ass but she held back. She slammed the door behind them, and sat on her bed. Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She pressed the talk button, and didn't say a thing.
"Natalie?"
"Yeah," She answered.
"Are you busy?" Amanda asked.
"Nope, why?"
"Someone wants to race you for 30 grand." She informed.
"I'll be down there in a few, just make sure they have the money." Natalie ordered.
"Don't I always." She hung up her phone and grabbed her car keys. As she was driving towards the usual racing space, her mind was racing all over the place. It was too much for one night but maybe a victory could change it all. As she pulled in, everyone began cheering and shouting in excitment. She parked the car at the starting line and got out of the car. She gave the money to Amanda, who already had a stack of dollars in her hand.
"Time to put these kids in time out." She commented, as she walked back towards her car. She began getting the car prepared, as Chassity was getting ready to wave the flag. Once the flag was waved, the racers were off. As usual, Natalie was in the lead then BAM!
*Flashback over*
I woke up to the sound of my phone, it was vibrating non stop. I looked at the caller I.D and it was Brian. I let it continue ringing until it stopped. I sighed and called him on my new phone; the phone police weren't tracking.
"You called?" I asked.
"Yeah, Why are you calling from a new number?" He asked.
"My other phone is acting up, and I decided to get a new phone. It just so happen to get a new number with it." I answered.
"Alright," He answered. "Do you need someone to come and get you before the race?" I looked at the time. It's only 8:30 at night, which means I have an hour to get ready.
"No, I can manage to get there on my own." I assured. "I'll call you if I get lost."
"Alright, see you there." I hung up the phone and placed in on my bed. I quickly got into the shower, and got ready. I put on my black, ripped jeans with a white wifebeater and my cropped leather jacket. I place my hair into a ponytail and straightened my side bang. I touched up my makeup and grabbed the keys. I slipped on my boots, and walked to the car. Shit, forgot my phone. I quickly ran into the house and grabbed my phone from my bed. I quickly ran towards the car, and turned it on. I looked at my phone and it's 9:25. I quickly pulled out of the driveway and made my way towards the race.
I slowly pulled my car into a open parking spot, which happens to be 3 cars down from Dom's car. After I turned off the car, and slowly got out of the car. The place was getting crowded as usual but nothing I wasn't use to. Dom notices me and nods. I smirk and sit on the hood of the car. Next thing I knew, I was talking to two racers; who were possibly racing tonight. One of them put his hand on my thigh, and leaned in.
"How about me and you go back to my place after." He whispered. I slowly pulled away, and looked into his brown eyes. I leaned into him, getting a small hint of his axe.
"I don't think so, papi chulo" I answered.
"Come on, baby." He pleaded, as his hand made it's way up my thigh.
"No," I answered. I managed to push his hand away from my thigh. He kept brushing up on me, and I kept refusing.
"Is there a problem?" A deep voice asked. I look over, and it's Dom.
"No, Dom." The two couldn't keep their eyes off of Dom.
"Alright," He said; then he looked my way. "Come with me, Natalie." I nodded, and got off the hood. He placed his arms around me, and we walked back to his car. He placed me on the car, and leaned next to me.
"Thanks, " I finally said.
"No problem," He answered. I pulled out my phone and called the voicemail of my other phone. I had one voicemail, and it was from Lorenzo.
"Hey, Nat. I found everything you needed, should be there within the next two days but the cops showed up. They knew you called, and came to the garage. It was a close one, but I did finish your engine and it should be there with the other stuff. Be careful, baby girl. Hope to hear from you soon." I freaking miss this guy. He is one of my best guy friends other than Brian. I looked at my phone and placed it back into my pocket.
"Boyfriend?" Dom asked, catching me off guard.
"What? No, I'm single." I answered. He smirked and continued talking to the other racers. They had chicks at their side. They either had a bra on with shorts or just plain lingerie. It's too cold for just that.
"You have a problem, chicka?" One of the females asked.
"No," I answered, "Why?"
"Because your ass keeps staring at us." She answered.
"Well, I have no problems with you," I replied. "Just think it's a little bit too chilly to be just wearing a bra."
"Who the fuck are you, to tell me what I can and can't wear?" She asked.
"Who the fuck do you think your raising your voice at?" I hoped off the hood of the car.
"Girls, there's no need to get testy" The racer assured.
"Just tell this hoe to back off, " She ordered.
"Who are you calling a hoe?" I asked, getting closer to her. "You don't know me, I'll knock your ass out before you can take all that fake ass jewelry off."
"Why don't you put your money where you mouth is?" She pulled out a wad of cash, and it looked like it could be about 10 grand tops. I smirked, then pulled out my own and flashed 20 grand in her face.
"20 grand, and I'll race you." I challenged. She looked at the male, and he gave her some cash. "See you at the starting line in 10 minutes." I walked back towards the car, I drove here. I opened the trunk, and pulled out the tanks of Nos. I place them in the front seat with me, and quickly hooked them up.
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Dom asked, leaning on the door.
"Remember, 'I love a challenge'," I reminded. After I hooked up the tanks, I slowly pulled up to the starting line. The tramp was sitting a 1971 Toyota Corolla Deluxe. I began getting everything ready, and gripped my hand on the wheel. A guy got in between the two cars and raised his arms. We just had to the finish line which was is to the end of the last building. It was a big parking lot.
"You're going down, bitch" I rolled my eyes and looked at the guy. He put his arms down and we were off. We were neck and neck, I could feel her eyes constantly looking at me. She suddenly brushed past me. I shook my head.
"Rookie mistake," I commented. I flipped the Nos switch and slowly pressed, harder, on the gas. I slowly caught up to her, then passed her and she didn't look happy. I passed the finish line and took a sharp turn. I saw the look on her face, and she didn't look at all happy. I'm now 20 thousand dollars richer. I pulled back in, and stopped the car. She pulled in next to me, and gave me an evil glare. "Seems like you owe me some money." After the race was finished, we went back to the house. As soon as I walked into the house, drinks are in the air and they're cheering. I smile, and take a quick bow then giggled. Before I could walk into the kitchen, someone grabbed my arm. They embraced me with a full on hug, then I look up and it's Rome.
"I didn't think you were that good?" He said.
"That's why you shouldn't doubt my skills," I playfully punched his arm.
"You're killing her, Rome" Brian said. He let go, and I smirked.
"Good job," Mia said, attached to Brian's side.
"Thanks," I answered.
"Way to show who's boss," Brian said, nooging me. I pulled away, adn gave him a glare.
"Grow up, Brian." I said. He looked shocked, then I playfully punched him in the arm. I smiled, then walked into the kitchen and grabbed a beer. I could see Dom, sitting on the couch in the living room. There was a girl on each side of him, then he met my gaze and smiled. I smirked and looked away. I took a deep breath, then looked back and he wasn't there. I could feel my facial expression change. I take a sip of my beer and turn around, there he was.
"Looking fo rme?" He asked.
"No," I answered, as I placed my beer down. " Just enjoying the party."
"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." He said. "I didn't think you were going to race that girl."
"Why not? It was either that or kick her ass," I answered.
"You weren't bad," He commented.
"Thanks, you're not that bad from what I've seen." I retort. He smirked, and looked into my eyes.
"Not that bad? I'm the best of the best," He said.
"You sure about that?" I asked. He nodded, and smirked.
"Yeah, I know I'm the best of the best." He replied.
"Sure you are," I teased. He smirked, then kissed me on the cheek. I felt like I melted like a popsicle on a hot day. I freaking want this guy but I want to take things slow. Is slow worth it? My lips slowly gravitate to his, and it feels magical. I could feel his tongue slide into my mouth, and some eyes were on us. I pulled away and looked into his nice, chocolate brown eyes. There were making me more attracted to him, the more I looked into them. I grabbed his hand and guided him through the crowd. We walked upstairs with our hands connected, and into his room. His room wasn't neat nor was it messy. It was a cross between the two, which is good. I closed the door, then locked it. I walked into his arms, and we began kissing again. He wasn't a bad kisser, he was an amazing one at that. He slowly lifts my body off the ground, and gently places me on the bed. This is a hell of a way to finish off a perfect night
