Cruz could not believe what she heard. She pulled it up on her phone and listened to it again.

"Cruz is better than this! She did not just blow some tire!? She is safer than that. She knows how to watch out for those kind of things?" Sally yelled back "First off, You were a champion and you crashed!?" "Because of my emotions! I was afraid of Storm okay!?! And that was the reason I lied to Cruz in the first place!"

Cruz pressed rewind

"I was afraid of Storm okay!?! And that was the reason I lied to Cruz in the first place!"

rewind again,

"I lied to Cruz"

What could or did Lightning lie about exactly? Cruz wondered. And it kept her up most of the night. meanwhile...

Lightning was in the laundry room with the braker. Trying to see if he could get the lights back on. Sally walked over, holding her phone as a light. "Hey. Anything?" Lightning sighed and shook his head. Sally's phone beeped. "Great.. Battery low. What about your phone?" she growled and asked. Lightning glanced at it answering "Low battery to." Sally sighed and walked off mumbling "I'll go look for some candles." Lightning stopped her and pulled her close. "Woah!" She shouted. Lightning's nose graced hers. Face to face, Lightning asked "You wanna look for candles or.. Would you like me to?.. explore around?.." He asked this in a whisper. Following with his hand gliding down Sally's hand to her middle and down the sides of her body. Their lips inches apart. Lightning could feel her breath against his, Sally took a deep breath. Lightning kissed her lips gently and softly. It was the best kiss in the world. Or so it felt like it. Then he knelt down and gently tugged Sally's pants down to her ankles. He fumbled his hands up her legs and rubbed between her thighs. Teasing her gently. Sally held onto his shoulders for balance as Lightning pulled one of her legs over his shoulder. He moaned as he kissed her panties that covered her precious. He kissed again, licking the panties he couldn't see but could feel. They weren't her usual soft silk material. These were kinda? An itchy material? Something new he guessed. He kissed her panties again. Opening his mouth to take in as much as he could. His kisses were warm and wet. His tongue slid over them. Making her wet through them. Sally moaned with pleasure. Oh such sweet pleasure. And he wasn't even inside her yet!

Sally's nails gently dug into his shoulders, but Lightning didn't mind. He was in a world of pleasure. Pleasure he was giving her. Lightning finally pulled her panties to the side and licked into the slit of her area. Sally became putty at his tongue.. Lightning opened his mouth and sucked her juicy area with honor. Moaning. Both of them moaning of enjoyable arousal and pleasure. Lightning stopped but only fpr his fingers to rub her places. "Oohh you're so wet." He whispered aloud with lust. She was soaked. You could hear it as his fingers rubbe back and fourth and in cieclescircles and teased the entrance of her area as he slid his fingers over it. Sally moaned quietly. It was so sexy. "Fuck.." Lightning muttered. He licked her clit then sucked her juices, rather lapping them up. He pushed two of his fingers inside and let them explore her insides as his tongue took Sally to lnew heights of pleasure. Well maybe not new, but needed. His fingers slid gracefully in and out of her hole, a rhythm with her moans. His tongue flickered onto her area. She was delicious and ready. If she would have him. But not yet. Lightning curled his fingers inside her and pushed as deep as he could, Sucking her and playfully scratching her itch. Her special place enough that he knew what was coming, Her. And she was close by her raspy moans. They became a higher pitch... quieter as Sally tried to keep quiet... Lightning's tongue pulled away but only to say, "Go ahead. Go ahead and cum baby." Sally wanted to snap something, and scold him for this but the pleasure was to.. Amazing as her orgasm began and Lightning's tongue, and fingers, made it all too much to handle! She kept quiet, barely. But the orgasm felt amazing! A miss she had had with Lightning!

Lightning slowly placed her leg back down and pulled her pants up as he stood up. Sally sounded a little breathless. "You okay?" he asked. Sally smiled answering "I'm fine. Wow.. That was.. That felt great!" Lightning chuckled saying "Good. I'm gonna clean up and check the generator out in the shed." He took his phone, using it as a light. Sally grabbed Lightning and said "We should finish this later.." Lightning smiled. Some thunder rolled loudly which made Colton cry. So Sally went to her son while Lightning went outside in the storm.

While Lightning qas in the shed and checking it out, his phone rang. He dropped it and grabbed it. Cruz.

"Hey Cruz. I can't talk long. My phone is dying and electricity is out.

What did you lie to me about?

"What are you talking about?"

Um? You and Sally were in the hospital and a nurse recorded you guys screaming at each other?

"What? Sally and I weren't?.. Oh.. That.."

Yeah!? That! What was the lie Lightning?

"I? I think it would be better in person.."

Oh no!? Are you even coming to see me?

"Yes! Yes I promise! Look, right now I really need to fix something!"

Yeah!? You have to fix the mess you made!? Please come here?.. i miss you.. I'm in pain! i am sick from the baby! Please!?

"I can't Cruz.. I'm sorry."

Why not?

"I just can't. Look I have to go."

But Lightning?

He hung the phone up quick. He sighed and thud his head against the generator. He was making things worse it seemed. But he wanted Sally. He wanted to be with Sally. Cruz was gonna have to just put up with it.

Lightning headed back inside, still using his phone as a light. Sally greeted him at the dppr asking "No luck huh?" Sense there were no lights still. Lightning was aoaked and took off the coat shaking his head, "Couldn't get it to work. I don't know why its not working? Everything seemed to be okay?" "It's just the storm. I'll call the owners and talk to them. What's the number." Sally asked. Lightning stared silently. Sally's stare turned into a glare as she asked "What did you do?.." Lightning faked a nervous smile admitting "Well... When I said I rented a cabin for us?.. I may have..Understated just a bit.." Sally glared at him while a swift silence breezed between them then asked "What do you mean a bit?" She asked in a very suspiciously aggravated tone. Lightning faked a laugh answering "Well?.. I may have?.. Bought it.." Sallys eyes widened and jaw dropped scolding "How could you!? You bought a cabin!? Behind my back!? Why would you-?" She stopped in her question. Suddenly Sally became furious and snarled rudely asking "Did you buy this for Cruz!?!" Lightning quickly corrected "No! No!? I did not buy this for Cruz!? I gave you the house and had to get my own place? It's a bit farther from Radiator Springs than I wanted but it's a beautiful place!?" Sally shook her head. "So the gym down stairs? Thats not for you?" She knew better. Lightning rarely worked out as much as he use to. He sighed and admitted "Alright... That was?.. For Cruz but?.. Come on? We were seperated!?" Sally corrected "Are! We are seperated still Lightning! At this rate we are never going to be together!" Lightning grabbed her hand and reassured once again, "Sally I love you. I planned on selling it if we worked things out?.." "IF?! So you had a back up plan that involved Cruz!? That's why you didn't brake up with her! Isn't it!? She's your back up plan!" Sally yelled and was so mad. Lightning did not have a back up plan. Just a house. Sally was angry. It was out of hand. Lightning sighed and reassured again, "No.. I want you, love you and not her. Okay?.." Sally pushed away and asked "How could you bring me here?.. To a place you brought Cruz?.?" "I never brought Cruz here? She doesn't even know about it? I brought you here because I thought it could be good for us? I want us to re connect?.. I thought we could use time for us.." Sally didn't say anything back. She was mad and trying to figure out if she should be mad? Or grateful? Or what?

Suddenly the lights flickered back on!

Lightning stared at Sally. Her eyes filled with tears and arms crossed. She looked at him and muttered "I'm gonna... Go down in the den and... Read a book or something.." And she walked off. Lightning sighed. He did not mean to hurt Sally. He had good intentions with this...

Lightning went to check on Sally who was in a couch in front of the fire. She was reading a book. Lightning walked closer and sat down next to her. Realizing she was reading the journal again. "Sally?.. Really?" He snarled. Sally sighed and shut the book replying "I can't help it?.." Lightning stared at the journal. He knew this was something that could tear them apart again. So he stood up and tossed it in the fire. "Lightning what are you doing!?" Sally yelled! Lightning sighed explaining "Everything in that book?.. It's not worth reading or keeping around.." Sally was surprised. "What about Cruz?" She asked. Lightning shrugged answering "She won't miss it." He sat down next to Sally and took her hand. "I love you. I'm sorry for fighting. I didn't think of your feelings when I brought you here." Sally smiled and shrugged, "I'm sorry too. I don't want to fight?" Lightning leaned forward and kissed Sally gently. It was a sweet kiss. Sally sighed asking "How about we make dinner tonight? Together? It's been a long time sense we made dinner together?" Lightning snickered with a smile and noddeed agreeing, "Yea. Let's do it. Sounds fun." They smiled at each other and really felt the connection growing again. Sally leaned in Lightning. Rubbing her belly. Lightning rested his hand on her. Feeling the twins. "Wow. They are growing huh?" He said with a smile. Sally giggled "Oh yeah. You know we still gotta come up with names?" Lightning stared wide eyed at Sally. Part of him kinda thought Sally would name them without him but this was amazingly nice.

"Could do rhyming names? Or something rustic like Colton's?" Sally suggested. Lightning smiled replying "Anything you want Sally." Sally rolled her eyes with a smile and joked "Theodore." "Ha! No. Almost anything you want then." Lightning corrected. Sally giggled and the two went over different names before dinner and snuggling down for the night...
