Sally ran herself an early morning bath in the motel room she was staying in. It was warm and steamy and relaxing. She lay in the tub, her head against the back rest in the corner. It was a large corner tub. Suler relaxing. No kids. Just the quiet sound of water moving along with her hands and body. She let out a deep breath as she relaxed deeper. She was thinking about Chester. Not sexually entirely. Just.. Him. That kiss was rather amazing. She hadn't felt a kiss like that in so long. Sally splashed the water gently over her body. She relaxed for some time and thought about the idea of even being with anyone.
Chester was probably good in bed. If she could get him there. But now they had parted ways and he didn't give her his number. How stupid she felt for playing that childish game of his. So silly and perverted. But she did enjoy it. Sally also wondered where Francesco ran to and what he was doing. Part of her glad. She still hadn't talked to Cruz about anything. Sally just didn't like seeing or speaking to Cruz much at all after everything that happened. Sally was embarrassed and hurt and Cruz stole Lightning away. She sighed and didn't want to think about that. So with a few deep breaths she tried to forget it for now. Sunday.. Lightning would be bringing the kids over to her house tonight. She also thought about how Chester said if his eife would have given him another chance.. Maybe she should have given Lightning one more. But had Lightning changed? Doubtful. He would probably start some fight at somepoint.
Everytime he and Sally were together for a longer period of time they would fight somehow usually. About anything it seemed. Knock, knock, knock. Sally snapped out of her thoughts and stared out thr bathroom. "Who is it!?" She called. Probably room service. "It's uh.. Me, Chester.. I um.. Thought I'd bring over some breakfast. If you're hungry?" Chester!? Sally quickly drained the tub and grabbed the towel calling back "Yeah um. Hold on!" She felt stupid acting like a little girl for that second. She dried off and quickly wrapped the robe around herself that the motel provided. That was a nice touch. Cozy cone should really fo that. Anyways!
Sally rushed over to the door and opened it, brushing some of her short hair behind her ear. "Good morning." Chester greeted with a smile. Sally blushed greeting "Good morning. Wait? How did you?.. Find my room?" she wondered and asked. Sense she was Sally Carrera at the desk and not Annie. This really got her suspicions growing. Chester smiled explaining "Described you to the front desk. You are a rare beauty Annie." Annie smiled a little and glanced at the bag. "Breakfast?" she asked. Chester glanced at it and answered "Uh yeah! Just simple diner stuff. Hope that's alright. I just had to see you one last time." Annie smiled at that to and moved over motioning "Come on in." Chester happily did and gave her the up down.
Annie shut the door exclaiming "Let me just change and I'll be right out." Chester nodded and Annie disappeared into her room and pushed the door closed behind her. But it didn't shut all the way. Chester couldn't help cocking his head a bit just enough to see the robe slip down as she placed it onto the bed. The lighting was amazingly bright in there. He could see her slight curves at her hips and the cushions of her back cheeks. She turned slightly as she slipped on her shirt. No bra today hmm? he thought to himself. She was small chested. Maybe not as perky as she once was but not at all sagging or anything. He had forgotten how beautifully toned she was. She must of kept working out sense their last encounter because Chester could vaguely see the lines of her abdominal muscles and ribs. She slipped on this very thin and slim cheekie like thong. One leg then the other. Her natural tan skin was still glowing as ever. He sighed and made sure to look away before she noticed him staring. S-Annie stepped out in a blue t shirt and tight jeans that flared a bit at the bottom. "There. That's better." she stated as she plopped down next to Chester. Oh he smiled charmingly at her. Maybe a little seductively.
"So what's for breakfast?' she asked. Chester opened the bag and grabbed out biscuits and grits and jams. "Sorry it's so plain but they didn't have much that was easy to carry out." he apologized. But Annie smiled and just as herself, filled with positivity "It's perfect. No worries." Chester knew it now more than ever! He was falling hard for her again! Just like he had the very first time! Thankfully he was more mature and patient this time round. Because Sally wouldn't let him just jump the gun. "So you smoke?" Annie asked. Chester hesitated, and before he could explain Annie added "Juts.. My ex husband smokes sometimes. I don't really like it but.. His choice I guess. Is it adicting? I mean.. should I worry?" Chester stared at her a moment. Still not sure what to say. It was nice that she cared.
He sighed answering and explaining for himself. "Well.. It's not really addicitng. Not to me. I can stop anytime and I'm not just saying that. I just smoke from time to time. Mostly when I need to?.. Chill." Annie nodded but then raised a brow and asked "So you were nervous yesterday?" Chester thought a moment. He was. But.. "A little. Was nervous you wouldn't show up." Annie nodded again and smiled. He wanted to see her again and that was kind of sweet. The two ate and were a little quiet. But once finished, Annie fixed some coffee while Chester cleaned up. "So am I going to see you again Chester?" She asked. Chester smiled answering "I really hope so Annie." She smiled but it faded. "What's wrong?" Chester asked as he noticed.
"Well... About that.." She answered but paused. Chester grew nervous. What was she gonna say? She stared at him and his eyes, his face and smiled "Nothing, never mind. I just.. You are.. Pretty nice. At least you seem like it. And.. I think that maybe... Maybe.. I could like you. If we were able to actually see each other but." Chester frowned and shrugged as his hand caressed her cheek. "We still have this moment." He reminded. That lifted Annie's spirits and she smiled again. "There's that beautiful smile. I could get use to that again." "Again?" Annie asked. Chester's eyes widened as he blushed! "What?.. I just.. I meant." He was having trouble speaking and thinking of an excuse. Annie rolled her eyes and shut up his babbling with a kiss! OH SO SUDDEN! At first Chester was surprised but he happily accepted her kiss and pressed himself against her. The kiss didn't just stop. It went on. Chester brushed his hands to her hips gently. Annie rubbed her hands to his shoulders and biceps. Feeling his firm arms. Chester could feel the heat growing, among other things if he wasn't careful.
Annie pulled away, their foreheads resting against each others and then Chester whispered "Don't leave.." Annie bit her lips tasting what was leftover of their kiss. Chester must of ached for love again. He had this sad love thing going already. Annie pulled her head up making Chester do the same. She frowned and admitted "I am.. So sorry.. But you don't deserve a relationship that starts as a lie.. There's.. something you don't know about me and you are such a sweet and fun guy.. A relationship can't start with lies." She said. Chester sighed and just stared. He knew what she meant but couldn't say anything about it unless he was going to come clean and if he did, he was sure it would start something. Annie turned away and asked Chester to leave. "Annie please"-"No. Chester please.. Iv'e been lying to you.. You don't know me..Please just go.." Chester frowned. He debated coming clean but decided not to.
Chester frowned and replied softly "As you wish..." He began to leave but stopped at the door and added "Annie." She looked at him with such heart break. She knew she could have been happy again but also knew Chester didn't deserve to be lied to for her own personal gain. Chester put on a smile as he said "Please keep smiling." He asked. Annie smiled a little, just for him. So Chester shut the door behind him as he left. He sighed. Hating that that ended like that. But if he came clean it would have started a fight that was not needed whatsoever. So it was best to swallow down his feelings for now...
Lightning walked up to the doors of his academy feeling kinda down. The way Sally er Annie closed down kind of hurt. The onlt good thing was that meant maybe she wasn't shutting Lightning down personally and she just really needed shown true love again. Lightning opened the door and walked in where he immediately raised a brow curious as he heard that familiar music. Shabba. Cruz's work out music. He rolled his eyes and yelled "Cruz!" But the music was just too loud for her to hear. Lightning walked up to the next floor and to the gym area. He pushed the door open, the music was loud. Cruz was possibly drowning something in her head out. He stared at her a moment. She was doing that stupid dance thing. Lightning rolled his eyes and yelled "Cruz! Cruz!" She snapped out and turned around with a bug smile and shouted "Oh. Hey Mr McQueen!" "Turn it down!" "What!?" "Turn it!.." He tried but stopped and walked over to the ipod or her phone. they both looked the same so he wasn't sure which one it was truly.
He pressed a button, but it wasn't the pause button, suddenly the song cheap thrills played, pressing again then taki taki, "How do work this thing!?" Lightning yelled and pressed it again and the low version of talk dirty came on. Cruz walked over and with one press stopped the music and saw immediately Lightning was in a mood aand asked concerned "What's wrong?" "It's loud and I can't think if it's that loud." He scolded. Cruz crossed her arms and replied "Come on Mr McQueen. Lightning, talk to me." she pleaded. Lightning stared at her, mildly sweating from her workout but said nothinf and turned and left for his office. Cruz was clueless and wished she could help him.
Lightning sat down in his chair and leaned back. He was a little upset. Okay a lot. He was hurt. Shot down in two different ways by the woman he wanted. His confidence was low. At least for now. He hated this. Maybe he should just give up. He heard a knock on the door and then it opened slowly "Hey Lightning." Cruz tried smiling a little nervously maybe. "Thought maybe.. I don't know?.. You need to talk or.. Something?" She was so nice and kind. Especially right now. Lightning sighed and just stared at her. Sally wasn't giving him much to go with and Cruz was always willing. Always. Lightning stood up and firmly ordered "Come here." The way he said it warned Cruz of his possible intentions. But she wouldn't have minded anyway.
Cruz walked over and around his desk. Standing face to face. Lightning just stared pretty hard into Cruz's face, her eyes. "Mr M"-"Ssh." he interrupted quick. "No talking." Cruz obeyed. Just staring back into his blue eyes. It was weird. He wasn't touching, wasn't speaking? What was he going to do? Cruz wondered and oh how she craved his touch. So, she closed her eyes. Lightning was a little confused but knew Cruz would stay right there like an obediently trained bitch if it pleased him. Lightning sighed and sat down then ordered "Go. Go home.. I have nothing for you here." Cruz opened her eyes with such disappointment. "Oh.." She muttered. "But I?.. Um yeah... Okay, yes Mr McQueen." She began leaving and Lightning stopped her
"Wait." She froze. "Answer this, would you do anything for me?" he asked. "Even if you didn't really want to do it?" Cruz nodded and without hesitation answered "Yes." Lightning didn't seem to have much of a reaction. He just motioned for her to go still. So she left. Lightning sighed. What he had in mind for Cruz... She wasn't gonna like it. But he couldn't get into a relationship or even a fling with her if he was going to win Sally back evantually. And Cruz was tempting. More so every time Sally pushed away...
Sally sat at her desk. More depressed today. Not really even getting any work done. She was missing that feeling of being loved and in love. But she had to be kind and do right to Chester. Pretending to be someone else was a mean lie and though she had her reasons, if she were Chester, she wouldn't of wanted that. Sally yawned. She was a little tired from lack of sleep. One thing that kept replaying in her head was how Chester talked about if his ex had given him one more chance. What about Lightning. No, better not. They were best at fighting mostly anyway. Sally decided to leave early for the day and go grab a drink at her favorite diner. It would be nice to see Flo again anyway.
Sally grabbed her purse and told her assistant she was leaving and headed out. She drove her new car. Parked it and walked inside. Greeted by townfolk. No Cleo thankfully. Sally sat down with her latte and browsed her social site on her phone for a few minutes.The little bell dang at the door and she glanced over. Staring as she saw Cruz. She still hadn't talked to her. Mostly cause she just never wanted to anyway. But.. She did need to hear it from Cruz. She sighed. Sally watched Cruz order and pay for some smoothie juice thing. She snickered. Cruz was so perfect and young. No wonder Lightning fell for her.
Sally rolled her eyes and stood up and called "Hey Cruz! Sit here." she motioned. Cruz stared a moment. Unsure. She knew Sally disliked her and hesitated. But... Being nice, Cruz walked over and sat down with Sally. "How are you doing? That fall was bad wasn't it.?" Sally asked. Cruz shrugged answering "Actually I.. Don't remember it all that much.. Just some blank spots." she admitted. Sally nodded replying "Lightning suffered some blank spots after his accident. It's normal." Cruz nodded. It was awkwardly quiet between them for a moment. Sally swallowed hard. Careful how she spoke to Cruz. "So um.. Lightning and Mateo told me about Francesco. But... I really wanted to hear everything from you. Sense you and.. Francesco seemed to be the two um.. Culprits."
Cruz frowned a bit but understood so explained what she had explained to Lightning and Mateo prior. Sally had already heard most of it. So she wasn't completely surprised. But when three peoples stories lined up, it was so hard NOT to believe them. Francesco was a horrible person and was cruel. Sally really was glad he was gone because she definitely dodged a bullet!
