Summary: AU, Shannon Moore, based on Rihanna's "Shut Up and Drive", requested by ChicagoChaingang (Sorry it's a terrible summary, I'm tired, sick, and lazy.)
I've been looking for a driver who is qualified
So if you think that you're the one step into my ride,
I'm a fine-tuned, supersonic, speed-machine.
Got a sunroof top, and a gangster lead
So if you feel it, let me know, know, know
Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go
Jez Calloway pulled up to the shop and turned off the engine of her bike. She took off her helmet, and shook out her hair, fluffing it a little from being smashed down. She could hear the radio blaring before she even walked into the garage, and found Shannon Moore working on a motorcycle. "Hey, you!" she shouted at him, over the song.
He looked up at her and smiled, then went back to what he was doing.
She walked over, and sat down next to him, crossing her legs as she did. "Whatcha doin?" she asked, as if it wasn't obvious.
He turned his head to look at her, an eyebrow rose, "What's it look like?"
She grinned.
He stood, smiling, "Nothing now, I'm done with it."
She looked over the bike, "Whose is it?"
"Mine."
"Ooh. You gonna take it for a ride?"
He smiled, "What do you think?"
Her grin returned, "I'll race you."
He raised an eyebrow again, "You think you can beat me."
"I know I can."
Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night.
Cause its 0-60 in 3.5
Baby, you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive.
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
She grinned under her helmet, listening to the engines of the two bikes. They pulled out onto the road, and she immediately took off. Jez was too competitive to not try to beat Shannon. She came to a stop sign and took a moment to look behind her, he wasn't too close, but he was catching up fast.
She revved the engine before taking off again.
The race concluded with her as the victor at an ice cream parlor. "I'm pretty sure you cheated," Shannon said, teasing as he pulled his helmet off.
"What? Me, I would never!"
He grinned. "No, no, of course not. Why on Earth would you do something like that?"
She punched his arm playfully, and they walked in. They sat outside; eating their ice cream and Jez looked out at the different shops in the little strip. Her eyes rested on one in particular. "I want a tattoo!"
Shannon raised an eyebrow at her, "A tattoo?"
She nodded, "Why not?" She stood, threw her napkin away, and headed for the parlor, Shannon followed after her.
So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
Come on, now, what you waiting for, for, for?
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me, go, go, go
Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean.

Now shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
When they walked out of the tattoo parlor two hours later, Shannon asked, "So are you happy now?"
"Yep."
He smiled.
They got back on their bikes, and as they were about to pull out of the parking lot, Shannon shouted, "Race you!" then took off.
Jez scoffed at his tactics, and took off after him.
She caught up to him right as he was pulling back into the bike shop parking lot. She cut off her engine and yanked off her helmet. "That was definitely cheating!"
He raised an eyebrow, "You can't prove it."
She was about to retaliate, when his lips fell on hers. Her words escaped her as she melted into his arms.
