"Daddy..." A voice whispered. "Daddy.." again. Lightning opened his eyes to the blurred shape of one of his kids. So blurry.. "Dad!" the child shouted. Lightning sat up and brushed his hair out of his eyes a little and looked over at Landon. "What's up kid? It's like?.. Three in the morning.." He exclaimed as he glanced over at the clock. Landon held up his hands motioning for his father to pick him up into bed. Lightning sighed and picked Landon up and sat him down beside him. Landon snuggled up against his father and it was clear Lightning wasn't gonna get Landon back to his own room. So Lightning pulled the covers over the both of them and closed his eyes. He was gonna have a busy day once he got up. Busy taking the kids to his mom again, then to Mack's for his disguise, then over to the races as Chester again. Maybe Annie would show up again. He kind of hoped so...
Lightning dropped the kids off at his mom's again. If it weren't for the possibly that Sally or Annie might show up to the race, than Lightning would have called Sally and asked if she wanted the kids for the night. The kids ran into the house and straight to the living room where Minty had a small dress up corner for Ece, hot wheels for Colton and coloring books for Landon. He could he quite the artist when he wanted. "Thanks again Mom." Lightning said as he stood near the door. Minty nodded with a smile "Of course Monty. Where you headed this weekend?" she asked her son. Lightning sighed explaining "Gonna go to the same race as last week. Maybe give these racers a second chance." Minty nodded "Alright. You be safe Monty. I'll have the kids all ready tomorrow for you to pick up." Lightning snickered thanking his mother again. Then headed off to Mack's for his disguise...
"There. You look great!" Mack's wife stated. Lightning glanced in the mirror at his Chester look. Lightning took a close look at his face and curiously asked "Do you think this will all hold up? Won't smear or anything?" Mack's wife raised a brow and shrugged answering "It should hold. I could put a little more holding spray if you'd like?" "Mmhmm" Mack grumbled. His wife and Lightning looked at him. "What?" She asked. Mack smiled explaining "Chester ran into Sally at the race last weekend. And they kissed." Her eyes widened. Lightning glared at his old friend. Mack's wife sighed and further explained "Well.. Everything should hold well except the hair. It's not weaved or glued. More just clipped in. So it's not exactly durable for.. excessive exercise?..." she tried to say kind of awkwardly.
Lightning rolled his eyes replying "I don't plan on doing anything with her like that. Just.. I wanted to know in case she got close. Don't want her ro recognize me." Mack's wife nodded. Mack had to ask "Why don't you want her to know it's really you?" Lightning frowned "Well.. We are getting along so well. She is opening up to me or Chester really, and I don't know?.. I don't want it to end already." Mack raised a brow and stared at his friend. Him and his wife glanced at each other then she gave some advice "You know.. Lying to her is gonna get you both hurt one way or another." Mack seemed to agree. Lightning frowned a bit and replied "Maybe.. She's lying about who she is to though so,.. I'll only keep this up as long as she does." Mack was confused and curious "Wait? Sally is pretending she's not Sally? You didn't tell me that.. Why is she doing that?" he asked.
Lightning shrugged "I guess she's ashamed to be known as former Sally McQueen." Mack's wife nodded muttering "That affair going public was just awful. I wouldn't blame her." Lightning did agree, although it kind of hurt that she was ashamed. "Still.. Neither of you should be lying. This was suppose to be for work kid." Mack reminded. Lightning nodded "I know and it is.. Mostly. But.. Look, the minute Sally comes clean, I will to. It's harmless really anyway." he replied. Mack and his wife stared at each other. Both concerned but they knew they couldn't talk Lightning out of anything...
Chester waited a while. Staring out at the racers that were lining up. Who knows? Maybe he would find a few good racers while he was here too. He looked around but still no sign of Sally er Annie. He sighed. She wasn't coming. So Chester made his way to the stadium seats and sat down. The metal wasn't comfortable at all. He waited and still she didn't show up yet. Not to mention it would be rather difficult to find her sense he couldn't use his phone. Which he put on silent just in case this time. Chester was nervous about seeing Annie again. But losing hope, he grabbed out a cigarette and lit it. Just one. Just what he needed right now. Yep. Definitely. He smoked for just a few seconds when he felt a tap on his right shoulder. He quickly and curiously turned around.
"You came!" He said with some excitement in his voice. S-Annie giggled "Well something convinced me to." she replied in a joke maybe? Chester smiled replying "And in appropriate attire I see." She looked cute, a navy shirt or tank top, couldn't tell. She had on a warm cover thing that had an Indian or old western pattern like on it and jeans and sneakers. Her short hair just with her neck line. She looked older but just as good to him right now. "Yes well.. The heels weren't cutting it last weekend." She stated. Chester snickered with a smile. He was so happy to see her. She noticed the cigarette in his hand and asked "You smoke?" pointing it out. Chester raised his brows and immediately tossed it down and stomped on it. "Nope." he said quick. Annie raised a brow then oddly looked around.
"What's wrong?" Chester asked. Annie leaned a little closer and whispered "My ex husband is here.. I would just rather avoid him." Chester smiled. Oh if she only knew. Being Lightning, he decided to toy with her a bit. "Sure you don't want me to meet him? Rough him up a bit?" Annie stepped back quickly disagreeing "Oh no. No, no, no. I really don't want a mess!" Chester chuckled replying "Relax. I won't do anything. Plus I don't even know the guy." he assured. Annie shrugged and muttered "Oh you... Probably do.. You just don't know that.." Chester stared pretty hard at Annie. Trying to figure out why she didn't want to be known as Sally? What reason did she have to be someone she wasn't?
"So.. Chester. What was your last name anyway?" she asked. Chester had to think a moment and felt like an idiot for that, "Vitte. Yeah.. Chester Vitte. That's me!" he smiled awkwardly. Annie raised a brow ",Uhhuh.." They stood there a few seconds before Chester offered to buy them drinks. Annie smiled and nodded. So the two walked over to the booths together while getting to know each other more. "So you work with a hiring agency?" Chester nodded. "What kind? Like? Old factories?" she asked. Chester mumbled softly answering "Somethin like that." Annie looked around from time to time as they walked. Looking for Lightning no doubt. Chester sighed and griped "Why do you worry about your ex so much? Did he?.. Abuse you or somethin?" Kind of rudely. Annie stopped and raised a brow staring at Chester. Chester did the same to her and realized that was a personal question. Maybe even too personal. "Sorry. Just.. They way you keep looking around for him." Annie didn't answer back though. So, he asked "What?" Annie thought a moment before answering "Nothing. You just.. You sound so much like.." She stopped and stared into his eyes. His eyes, Chester's eyes widened as he grew nervous. She was taking in the details of his face. Fuck.
For Annie though, as she stared hard into his odd brown eyes. She saw something she only saw in one other man. She saw a gleam. A specific gleam in Chester's eyes. The slight age line under his eyes lined up perfectly with the bridge of his nose. And the way Chester tilted one brow and lifted them as he grew nervous, the same way.. As Lightning. He could be Lightning's twin! But the brown hair, brown eyes, shaggy facial thing going and rustic style of his attire. He was probably nothing like Lightning. Annie shook her head "No one. Nothing. I'm sorry." she brushed off as her cheeks turned a little red. Chester let out a silent but deep breath of relief! Phew! But that little scare was enough that he knew he couldn't do anything with her! She was already catching on slowly!
"Three kids huh?" Chester snickered moving the conversation along. "I love kids." He added. Annie smiled and asked "What happened exactly with your previous marriage. I mean, you did promise to tell me next time we saw each other." She reminded. Chester chuckled asking "Did I? I don't remember that." He did remember saying he would tell her actually. He sighed having to think a moment. "Well.. I made a mistake.. And..She just.. Had enough of me and.. My excuses I guess. If she would have given me one more chance though.. She would have seen I changed. That I was a better man and learned my lesson." Annie frowned and nodded "Awe, I see... You're damaged goods." Chester raised a brow asking "What the heck does that mean?" Annie shrugged trying to explain her remark "I just meant that.. You're an inadequate partner. Impaired in some ways." Chester still wasn't sure what she meant by that. "And what does that make you?" he asked.
Annie shook her head "I don't know.. I'm.." She paused then began venting out admitting "I've been married twice now! I was engaged to this maniac Italian, and now I'm here in this.. Mud pit. Which is way out of my bubble! I'm only here because of my ex! Who.. Doesn't. He just.." Chester awaited eagerly to hear what she would say about him. But she couldn't finish her sentence. Chester sighed replying "He's an idiot for letting you leave." Annie snickered explaining "Well.. He tried to make me stay actually. He wanted to fight for us and I didn't let him. But.. There was a reason at the time." She admitted. Chester stared a moment. They were at the booths to get drinks. He waited until they ordered, paid, and got their drink, found seats, then asked "What was the reason?" Annie stared at him with this just pitiful look. "I mean... You don't have to tell me. But look, who am I gonna tell?" Annie stared. She didn't trust Chester completely.
But it also felt good to confide in a stranger. Chester didn't know who she really was, didn't know her husband, and wasn't completely or really judging her at all! It felt really good to be able to just talk to someone who was real and had real opinions and had been through something similar. "At that time.. If I really tried I.. Might have been able to stay with him. But.. Now and then when I looked at him?.. I saw her.. He cheated. Well, he didn't just cheat! He fell in love with her and left me for her." Chester could tell that it really hurt Annie to say that. A part of him broke hearing her say that. Chester grabbed her hand tight. Letting her know he was here. He was listening. Annie snickered and stared at their hands. "Do you know how that feels?.. For the one you love to fall in love with someone else?" Annie asked. Chester shook his head slowly. "Not really." he answered. And he didn't. Sally didn't actually fall in love with anyone. She did not love Ben again, and she clearly didn't love Francesco like she lied and put on for most of their engagement. Her hand pulled away. The two sipped their drinks and watched the race begin. Annie snickered and played with her drink as she muttered, "Here I am calling you damaged goods when I am so clearly more than damaged." Chester sighed and assured her she wasn't damaged.
Sipping more of her drink slowly, Annie then tried to lighten the mood, "So who are you hear to hire? Or is this what Chester Vitte does in his free time? Drink and watch races?" She giggled asking. Chester smiled at her, "No, I. I am here to hire someone. But.. I am more of? A scout for the agency." "A scout huh? That is interesting." Annie replied. And it was. Sense Lightning was here scouting out potential racers for his academy. "What do you do when you have time to yourself? I'm sure three kids make that difficult." Chester asked and joked. Annie nodded "Read. I enjoy a hot bath and reading." No doubt with the scent of lavender filling the room, Chester thought. Annie sighed apologizing, "Sorry.. I'm.. Not that great at talking and thinking of things to get to know people really." Chester shrugged "No, you're doing a fine job. Could make it a whole lot more interesting? Truth or dare?" Annie raised a brow and laughed. "That's a kids game!" "I know that, but when your adults. It is much more fun. I mean you can set the rules. But I'm up for anything." Chester replied. Annie stared and leaned over the table asking "Anything hmm?" Chester wasn't sure if maybe he should have said that or not really now. But they were in public. This wouldn't be too bad. Annie nodded and agreed to try it. "Ladies first." Chester swooned. Annie smiled and shook her head. She had to think a moment but then asked the overused "Truth or dare than Chester?" Chester smiled "I'm gonna go with truth." Annie snickered. "Playing it safe from the start now huh? Okay.. What's the first thing you noticed about me?" Chester snickered and answered easily "Your eyes. You have very beautiful eyes." Annie rolled her eyes "Thank you." She replied. Chester nodded once then asked "Truth or dare?" "Truth." She answered. Chester sighed and thought a moment before asking "What was your first impression of me?" Annie's eyes widened as she then looked Chester up and down real quick before giving an answer, "Well.. You came up to me and kind of went off at me so?.. A little crazy." Chester blushed and apologized for that again, "Yeah.. Sorry about that. I just.. Thought.. I.. Knew you." Annie and Chester stared, gazed a little maybe even at each other.
Then Annie asked "Truth or dare?" Before it got to awkward and quiet. Well, actually. It wasn't all that awkward at all anymore. Even in the silent moments. Chester smiled and shrugged answering "Dare. You know, let's do it. I'll be the first one. What you got?" He asked with some energy. Annie giggled and was impressed a little as she had to ask "You sure you wanna take a dare? I mean I am a stranger to you." She reminded. Chester nodded but insisted it was fine. So with that Annie grinned and dared "Do...ten.. push ups." Chester smiled partially in a charming way and snickered asking "Is that all? I could do fifty but.. If ten is what you want." he flirted. Annie blushed a little. It was adorable. So, Chester took a sip of his drink and stood up. He did not care if people glanced over and stared. The lady said ten push ups, so that's what he did. Although, he would literally climb mountains for her. As Chester finished and stood back up, Annie gave him a small and settle applaud. "Wow Great job. Was that a good little work out?" She asked. Chester let out a breath as he sat down before admitting "Yeah. Uh.. Not as young as I use to be. For sure!" He joked. He knew that he could make her laugh and she did smile and softly giggle to that. "Truth or dare?" He asked. "Oh I am going with truth!" Annie answered. Chester whined a little and joked "Awe come on Ann. Alright, when was the last time you?... Made out with someone? And I don't mean a long kiss." Annie stared. Chester hoped that didn't cross the line. It didn't. Annie just had to think but she finally gave up answering "I don't know. I guess it's been a while.." She softly admitted. Chester nodded. "Dare." He answered before she even asked. Annie thought what on earth she could dare him to do. "Look into my eyes and.. tell me what colors you see." He knew it was an excuse to stare into his. She was taking in that detail again and it made Chester nervous. He sighed and leaned close. The two of them stared into each others eyes. Annie didn't seem to make any expression, where Chester was looking deep and into her eyes. "I see... Teal. Maybe more blue. A hint of green I guess.." He answered. Annie pulled away. His eyes gleam, his voice and his face.. Chester seemed so familiar.
"Keep going?" Chester asked. Annie nodded answering "I.. Will take dare.. This time." She said that so cautiously. Chester smiled and placed his hand on the table daring "Hold my hand. Don't let go until you quit the game." Annie raised her brows. "Okay." She said. Then Annie placed her hand into Chester's. "You have a warm hand." She complimented. Chester snickered with a chuckle and nodded. "Truth this time." He answered. Annie sighed a happy sigh though and asked "Am.. Am I your type?" Chester smiled answering "I would say yes. You look hot and beautiful and you are very smart. Seem smart, you are I mean. Yes." Annie rolled her eyes. "Truth or dare?" He asked her. Annie hummed "hmmm" She sipped her drink then answered saying "Dare.." Chester thought a moment then decided to try a bit more dirty. Just to see if Annie was really even considering anything like she and Jesse talked about. "I dare you.. To.. Moan into my ear." Annie's eyes widened. She bit her lips and hesitated. Would she? Did she want to go further? Then sadly, her hand pulled away from his. She ended the game. Chester frowned and was upset with himself for pushing and going too far. Annie then placed her hand onto his knee leaned close and gave the quietest and softest and sexiest little moan he had heard! Chester melted. Annie squeezed his knee a little as her moan ended, then sat back up right in her seat and placed her hand into his and asked "Truth or dare?" Chester stared just stunned! Just stunned! He couldn't believe Sally was this wild!? Thankful that it was with him though and not some other man.
Chester was so stunned but managed to answer "Truth. I don't think I can handle anything right now after that.." He admitted. Annie giggled and thought a moment before asking "Okay.. I won't be offended so you know. And.. Kind of asking out of curiousness here.. Um.. Do you watch porn?" Chester was surprised and sighed answering "Not really. I mean I have.. But.. I rather do it myself than watch it." he chuckled and it made Annie giggle a little and blush. "Okay, okay! Um.. I wanna say truth this time partner." Chester nodded and asked "Would you ever.. Partake.. In a threesome?" Annie's eyes widened "Wow. Gotta say.. That is.. Wow." She hesitated. "I think.. No. No, I wouldn't because I am not up for that. Maybe back in my younger days!" She joked. Chester chuckled and sipped his drink. They hadn't even been paying attention to the time. The race was nearly over and some people were already leaving.
"Okay Chester, truth or dare?" Annie asked. By her tone, Chester expected this was the last turn if not close to the end of their game. "Dare." He answered. Annie sighed and thought a moment as she watched Chester sip his drink, or what was left of it. "Kiss me like it's the last kiss you will ever have." She dared. Chester stared at her. Both silent. He wasn't sure how to do this, how to go about that. BUT WHAT THE HELL! He really wanted to redo that kiss anyway from last week. Chester embraced her face. Staring into her eyes. He hesitated. Was this to far? Whatever now. He leaned close, Annie closed her eyes and braced herself. Chester closed his eyes and their lips touched. HE opened his mouth more to take in her soft lips. Funny thing was she did the same. Their lips smacked and parted for less than a second. Chester kissed her lips, pressing his to hers and rolling his tongue to hers. Annie sucked his tongue in more, she softly whimpered a low moan. So quiet, Chester wasn't even sure he really heard that or not. They pulled apart and Annie licked her lips then wiped the wet from her lips with her fingers. Chester stared a moment. Waiting for a reaction. Any reaction would do. Annie nodded and complimented "Wow. I haven't been kissed like that in.. A while." Chester smiled and joked "And that's just a kiss." Annie didn't reply to that. She wanted another kiss like that again! The only person who kissed her like THAT! Was Lightning. Hmmm.
Either Lightning and this Chester guy were like twins? Or Maybe. Maybe as Sally had fallen in love with Lightning, now she was falling for this Chester Vitte. Suddenly a loud horn went off! Signaling the end of the race. Chester sighed and exclaimed "Well.. Guess this is where we part ways Miss Annie." Annie nodded replying "Yeah um.. Unless.." She paused. "Never mind. Yeah um.. Night and.. Fun game.' Chester smiled and kissed her hand. "Maybe one day I'll see you again." Annie frowned because she knew she wouldn't. How would she ever contact this guy? Chester began to walk away when Annie stopped him calling out "Chester!... Night." Chester snickered finding her pretty cute like this. "Night."...
Sorry It took a while. Got stuck. Was going to maybe have Chester sleep with Annie but.. IDK how and Annie not realize that Chester is Lightning. Thought about him blind folding her or something. May still do something like that idk. Anyways! Thanks for all you guys do! Ya'll are awesome! Or maybe Annie finds out its L and lets him go along with it anyway idk. Sorry!
