"I thought you said it would take a month?" I asked Han in awe.

In front of me was Irene. She was all fixed up, repainted and looked better than ever.

"Are you complaining?" Han asked back while cleaning his hands on a rag.

I laughed at his retort and said,"No I guess not. Thank you so much!" I got in front of him and put my arms around his neck to hug him. I felt him hug me around my waist. Butterflies. I can feel them in my stomach shouting Han's name. I blushed at my school-girl thoughts.

I let go after a few seconds with a soft smile on my face while looking back at Irene. I missed her looking so pristine.

"We're going to the races tonight. Want to come?" he asked me with a small smile. I just finished working under a car for 3 hours at Han's shop. I smelled like grease and looked like I rolled in dirt.

I looked back at him and said, "Sure, lemme just go home and get ready. Meet here 8 o'clock?"

He nodded and I shouted my 'see you soons' at Earl, Twink and Reiko. I sighed happily at Irene and got on her with my helmet that I kept under the seat on. I revved the engine and eagerly shot out of the garage to test her again.

Once I got home and parked Irene outside the apartment, I took a quick glance at the clock in the kitchen. It read 6:30 PM in bright red numbers.

"Shay?" I called out in the silent apartment. I checked her bedroom and it was empty. That's weird, she should be home from work by now. I felt my eyebrows furrow as I took out my phone and sent a quick text to Shay asking where she was.

I tossed my phone on my bed as I walked back into my room. I went into my bathroom, tore off my clothes and got into the shower.

15 minutes later, I felt clean and smelled fresh. I sprayed some perfume on my pulse points and put on a bra and panties. I checked my phone to see if she replied.

Don't worry, honey. I am with Morimoto at Neela's house. Goin to the races 2night?

I felt my chest ease with relief. Neela was Takashi's girlfriend. We weren't the best of friends but we tolerated each other all the same. Everyone respected her for her guts. She didn't take any bullshit from anybody.

However, with DK as her boyfriend, she didn't exactly earn her respect. She was just a kid put in a bad position and I felt for her.

To:Shay Glandville

Good, and yeah I will meet you there.

I pressed send, tossed my phone on my bed and looked in the mirror. I thought about Neela again and to be honest, we were kinda in the same position.

I'm 24 and she's only-what, 18?

Being caught up in the Yaks and DK, we were one in the same. Rumors have been going around that they were getting a little rocky in their relationship because she caught him cheating with a skank. I feel really bad for her since she doesn't have anyone to talk to since DK always pushes them away from her. Maybe I should talk to her tonight so she doesn't feel awkward?

I sighed and took my towel out of my hair as I opened my closet. I decided to wear a beige chiffon shirt that had buttons on the front with a v-cut. The shirt cut off right above my belly button, I quickly pondered if I should wear a different shirt but I could hear Shay's voice in my head telling me to be bold.

Ok, ok. Be bold, Meg.

I paired the shirt with some leather high waist shorts and Shay's black leather chunky heel mid boots that she called "last season."

I dried my hair quickly with my hair dryer and combed it before curling it into some messy waves. I didn't put much makeup on besides blush, mascara and a nice shade of pink lip balm. I grabbed my black adjustable shoulder bag and stuffed it with makeup and my cell. It looked a little chilly out than before, so I put on a half-sleeve green knit cardigan and was on my way back to Han's garage.

I saw Reiko all ready and dressed in clothes that people would mistake as a rainbow. Reiko never seizes to surprise me. I got off my bike and took off my helmet.

"Wow, you look hot, Meg!", Reiko said in Japanese.

"Thanks, Reiko-chan. You look..." I drifted off. "Colorful."

"Thanks!" Reiko said excitingly oblivious. I laughed and we started talking about this new band she really likes. In the corner of my eye, I saw a figure leaning against the balcony railing facing us. In the middle of Reiko's fan girling, I looked towards the figure to find that it was Han. I gave a slight smile at him while I saw his eyes ogle my body slowly and back up to my face. He had a slight smirk on his face after his shameless ogling and I looked back to Reiko's rambling, blushing a little.

At least I know I am not completely unattractive to him.

Han POV

It's been an hour since Meg left the shop with Irene in tow. I decided to fix her bike before she had another panic attack looking at it in my garage everyday.

After my shower, I looked to my bed and saw clothes that weren't there before.

"You need a sense of style, mate!" I heard Earl call through the door. I shook my head at his voice and put on the jeans and a white shirt with a short sleeved, tan button down.

I opened my door saying, "You call this sense of style?" Looking to my left to see him leaning against the wall.

"You wanna look good for Meg, now don't you?" he said.

I raised my eyebrows, "Why would I want to look good for Meg?"

He stared at me with his face in disbelief. "Are you serious?-REIKO-CHAN! HE DOESN'T SEE IT!"

"What are you guys talking about?" I said getting impatient.

Reiko came up the stairs, "You and Meg of course. The sexual tension between you guys is insane."

This girl seriously has no filter sometimes.

"Yeah, touching her all the time-" Earl began but I cut him off.

"I touch every girl." I said with a smirk. "Not the way you touch Meg!" Reiko cut in.

Earl started again, "You have conversation with her-"

"She is my employee, remember?" I said now bored with this conversation.

"Well you care about her." Reiko said with a nod. I paused for a second.

I know I care for Meg, but that's all. She's a girl who needs some fun in her life and if she needs it, I'll give her some.

Don't get me wrong. Meg is hot as fuck but I won't ever be tied down. Money and women, what more do I need?

"AHA! So you do?" Earl said confidently. I sighed at the two of them. "I care for her, but she is just a friend ok? I don't need two kids telling me how I feel." I looked at Earl and said, "Or dress." And went back into the room to get some shoes.

I heard Reiko and Earl argue in Japanese until I came out again. It became silent.

"We want to make a deal with you." Reiko said.

I looked at both of them and smirked, "What's that?"

"If you end up kissing Meg in the next month, you have to buy us some drinks from then on." she said.

I chuckled, "And if I don't kiss Meg?" They looked at each other hesitantly and Earl said, "We will leave. We won't stay here anymore."

I frowned, "You guys really need to prove that I like Meg so much?"

They both nodded affirmatively. I shook my head and sighed, "Ok whatever, why the hell not. But it's not going to work, she is just a friend."

I heard Reiko exclaim in her usual hyperness, which is annoying by the way, and went downstairs to turn on the radio. I looked at Earl and he leaned against the wall again, quiet.

"Hey, you know this bet is stupid. And, I'll prove it. I won't even touch Meg at all tonight." I chuckled.

Earl walked towards the balcony and leaned against the railing with a huge grin on forming on his face. He stood up straight and turned towards me. "Yeah, good luck with that." He slapped me on the back on his way down the stairs. I frowned and leaned against the balcony and looked down.

It was Meg...looking really good. She had a shirt that showed a sliver of skin and shorts that made her legs look like they could go on for miles. She was talking to Reiko during my ogling. I couldn't help but rake my eyes up and down her body, wondering what she looks like under her clothes. I saw her turn her head towards me but I didn't bother to stop looking.

I smirked thinking about what Earl said.

This is definitely going to be more of a challenge than I thought.

I apologize if people won't like my Han POV. Let me know if it was okay and MAYBE I will consider writing another one. It was definitely one of the risks in this chapter. I am just not sure if I portrayed him the right way, in his character.

Thank you and review!
