…Chapter Eight…
…A Sweet Confession…

...Author POV:

Dominic walked over to Rome a half an hour later. "She asleep?" Rome nodded. "Okay, lay her down on the couch. We have some things to discuss."

As Dominic walked away, Rome carefully laid Alex on the couch without waking her up. He grabbed her drink, then walked over to Dom's car. He took a sip, then said "What's up?"

"I think I might know who was in that car." Dominic started.

"Who?" Brian and Rome asked.

"But I'm not one hundred percent sure… what if it was Tran's sister or other family members of his?"

"What happened to his sister?" asked Brian.

Dominic shook his head and said "I don't know."

"What can we do?" asked Han.

"Keep her safe, we can't tell her who we might think, is after her. If Tran knows what really happened to Lance…" Dominic stopped talking and looked over at Han.

"It's okay, Alex already told me about that."

Dominic nodded and said "Well then, you should know… since you like her, right?"

Both Brian and Rome yelled "What!" then Brian was death glaring Han.

Dominic smacked them both in the chest and said "Relax, we have other things to worry about."

"Me and you are going to have a little chat."

"Rome… relax." ordered Dominic, then he looked at Han. "Excuse him, given Alex's history and since he's the only one that knows everything about her, he's a little over protective… I mean, I'm over protective of her, but Rome takes the cake."

Han nodded and said "Okay."

"None of us… say anything to her about this. She will freak out." said Dominic, as the guys nodded in agreement, then he turned to Brian. "You… need to fix whatever it is between you and Alex. I know she's not going to trust you right away or not at all, but until we know what's going on, you need to talk to her and let her know that she can trust you for now. All of us needs to stick together."

"Okay, I'll try and talk to her." Brian said, running his fingers through his hair.

Han was glaring at Brian, because he wanted to know what happened. Seconds later, he walked away and started working on his car. While Brian and Dominic went into the office, Rome went up to Han to give him the 'little chat' and he told Han what had happened to Alex.

...Alex POV:

Yawn.

I stretched, then blinked my eyes open. Did I fall asleep? Oh shit! What time is it? I quickly sat up, looking around. All I saw was Han over by his car. "Uh, Han?" He looked up and walked up to me. "I have a question."

"Yeah?" he asked, sitting next to me.

"What time is it? And where'd everyone go?"

He chuckled and said "That's two questions." he smiled at me. "D, Brian, and Rome went to go check on some things and it's." he paused to glance at his watch. "Eight thirty pm."

"Oh." I nodded. "You stayed behind?"

"Yeah, because you were asleep and I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"How sweet." I smiled. Oh my God! Did Han just blush? How cute. I looked down at the coffee table. "Where's my drink?"

"Rome took it."

I smiled and said "Ah, of course he did. He's like a garbage disposal."

He nodded and said "Yep, plus he ate what you didn't."

I laughed, then said "So, when is Larry, Curly, and Moe coming back?"

He laughed out loud, which was adorable, and said "Well, D said that if they're not back by the time you have to leave, then I'll take you home."

"So, it's just me and you?" he nodded, raising his eyebrow. "You wanna teach me how to drift?"

"You'll see how it's done tomorrow night."

"Okay."

"But I'll show you how I do it."

"Yay!" I cheered.

He laughed, shaking his head, and said "Come on."

He stood up, grabbing my hands, and pulling me off the couch. All of a sudden I lost my footing, falling back onto the couch with Han right on top of me. I busted up laughing and said "Sorry… I'm a little clumsy."

He looked at me, then he looked into my eyes about to kiss me. But he didnt. He smiled and said "Let's go."

I nodded as he stood back up and this time successfully getting me on my two feet without falling. He held my hand all the way to the car. We got in and he drove off. What just happened there? Why didn't Han kiss me? I was too engulfed in my thoughts to pay attention to where we were going. Then he stopped the car and looked at me.

"Where are we?" I asked, trying to look around.

"At the top of this hill where most of us learned how to drift."

"On a hill?"

"Yeah." he paused for a few seconds. "Are you doing okay?"

I nodded and said "I'm fine."

"You sure?" Where was he going with this?

"Yeah, Han."

"If you weren't, would you tell me?"

"Possibly."

He nodded and said "Okay, come on. I want to show you something."

"Okay." then both of us got out of his car. He came around, grabbed my hand leading me somewhere.

Seconds later, he stopped and said "Look."

I picked up my head and saw a beautiful sight. We were over looking all of Tokyo. There was a slight breeze, then I felt Han's arms wrap around me, and I felt his chin resting on the top of my head. "This is… beautiful, Han."

"Yeah, I sometimes come up here to think or to get away for a few hours. It's so peaceful." we stood there in silence for ten minutes, then he spoke. "Come on, let me show you how I drift."

"Okay." he let go of me to grab my hand. We walked back to his car and got in. I buckled up, before I shut the door.

He turned on the car, smirking at me, and said "Ready?" I nodded. "You might want to hold on."

"What?"

He laughed and said "It's okay… do you trust me?"

"Yeah."

"Here we go." he smiled, then started to drive.

The first corner he drifted, I grabbed on to the 'oh shit' handle. I thought we'd tumble off the edge or something. After a few more turns, I started to relax. This was fun and I can't wait to know how to do it. We reached the bottom of the hill and he stopped the car.

"Wow, that was fun."

"Maybe in the next couple of days, we'll get you started."

"Yay!" I clapped my hand's cheering. A little bit later, Han parked in front of Veronica's and turned off the car. "I guess this is my cue to retire for the night." I said, pouting.

"You'll definitely see me tomorrow."

"Are you picking me up at an un-Godly hour?"

"You'll just have to wait and see." he smirked.

"Okay." I nodded. "Then if you have to wake me up at like the ass crack of dawn or something, you should have an ice cold Pepsi waiting for me."

He laughed and said "Fair enough."

I unbuckled my seat belt and said "Well, today has been very… eventful."

"Yes it has." he nodded, then looked at me serious. "We just met and we know this… but I honestly thought I was going to lose you."

"Really?"

"Yeah… if not by that car, then almost drowning. It scared the shit out if me and I'm usually a calm guy, but all I could think about was getting to you and saving you." I was speechless. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing would come out. "I don't even know what it is about you, even after D warning me to stay away from you or Rome giving me the 'talk.' I just can't stay away from you. It's like a moth to a flame."

"Wow… Han, I -" and before I could finish my sentence, Han grabbed my face and kissed me softly on my lips. I got a whiff of cherry blossoms and I felt like I was in heaven.

A minute or so later, we broke from the kiss, and he smiled at me. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay." I nodded, then I got out of the car. I felt like I was floating on cloud nine.

As I shut the door to the house, I heard Han drive off. I went up to my room and shut the door. I turned on the light and saw a present on the bed with a note, that said:

"Goddaughter,

I'm sorry to hear about your phone so, I got you a new one. It's a better one, the new iPhone. I already programmed the numbers you'll need to get a hold of me or Stan. I hope you like it. I have to work tomorrow, so I'll be home late and Stan is visiting his family. Have fun with your friends and I'll see you later.

- Veronica"

I smiled, then opened the gift. That's so awesome that she got it, but she didn't have to. I changed into my usual bedtime attire, laid down on the bed, and played with my phone. A few minutes later, I sent a text to Han.

"It's me, Alex… My godmother got me a new phone, so here's my number. Goodnight."

He responded back, within a minute. "Good. If you ever need me, call me. Night."

I smiled and played with my phone a little more. A half an hour later, I started to get tired and I went to sleep, thinking about Han and the smell of cherry blossoms.
