Some Surprises Are In Order

~Chapter 10~

Author's Notes: Hey! I just wanted to thank everyone has taken the time to review it means so very much to me. Please have a great day.

"So, which one are we gonna take," Megan asked gazing out over the vast sea of cars.

"Follow me," Lex said as she walked over to the Turks garage. Megan did as told and followed as the two stopped over in a small enclosure that held three cars and something covered in a sheet. Two of the cars were dark blue. Who knew?

Kail came out of a side door just a few feet away; he had gone to the bathroom to change when they first entered the garage. He now stood next to Megan in a pair of jeans and his white collared shirt untucked and partially buttoned; the last one and top two were open. He had on black boots instead of sandals and his raven hair still hung in the same shaggy position. He had his duffel bag over his left shoulder. Lex was still in her suit.

Lex walked over and stood by a beautiful black convertible; the only non-blue car. The manual Viper sat and glistened in the light as though it had just been touched up and waxed. It was magnificent and looked as though it purred as Lex rubbed her hand along the side and asked, "who wants to go for a ride?"

"That's yours? And they let you drive it," Megan asked as Kail giggled.

"Technically, it's the Turks' car, but I'm the one who tends to drive it, yes."

"Hey! They got the bullet scratches out," Kail said on the opposite side of the vehicle rubbing his finger along the door.

"Bullet…scratches…" Megan repeated, eyes a little wide.

"Yeah," Kail sighed. "Such a waste…But oh well…"

"Why do you care? You never ride with us, or rarely do," Lex stated.

"I know. So, I don't care."

"My point exactly."

"Anyway, are we gonna take it," Megan asked.

"I'm not," Kail said.

"Me neither," Lex seconded. Megan raised a brow in question. "I brought Lee, so I have to take him home."

"Oh," Megan said rather pleased with Lex gone that meant that she might get some time alone with Kail.

"Don't worry, you can ride with me," Kail said with a nod knowing what she was thinking and sharing a similar thought.

"Kail. You sure 'bout that," Lex asked.

"Yeah. Why?"

"'Cause I wanna ride," Lex whined.

"Ride what," Megan asked looking between the two.

Kail smiled and walked over to Lex. He gave her a small hug and said, "next time, Babe."

"Ride what," Megan said a little louder.

"Heh, this," Kail said as he walked over to the sheet and pulled revealing two motorcycles; one navy blue and the other cherry red—both Ducatis. "Why drive a car or chocobo when you can ride one of these babies," Kail asked with a smirk.

"Tell me about it," Lex breathed. "Anyway, I'm gonna change, pick up Lee and…you wanna meet at Lou's?"

"Sounds good to me," Kail shrugged.

"Hope you don't mind going with Kail, Meg. Don't worry, he's a big, well, actually…kinda small teddy bear," Lex said shooting her eyes sideways towards Kail.

"You are just asking for it aren't you," he said as Lex giggled.

"That's ok," Megan said apprehensively.

"Alright then. You two play nice and Kail, don't scare her to death on the bike, ok?"

"Who, me? Never," Kail said cracking a grin. Lex pleaded with her eyes to him and he smiled. "I promise."

"Thank you."

"See in you in, oh…twenty minutes then," Kail asked checking his watch.

"Twenty minutes," Lex said heading towards the door to the front. "Later!"

"Bye," both Kail and Megan waved. There was a moment of silence. Megan didn't know what to say. Here was the most stunning guy she'd ever seen and Lex had left her alone with him…

…Things are looking up… all she could do was hug him. Kail grinned and put an arm around her shoulder.

Megan finally broke the hush. "So, which one's yours," Meg looking at both bikes.

"This one," Kail said walking over to the red one. He straddled it and flipped its kickstand up. "In actuality, they're both mine. But this is my personal one," Kail said tapping the clutch.

"Uhm," Megan said looking upon it warily.

"You've never ridden on one before, have you," Kail asked.

"Well, no…"

"Now then, there's a first time for everything."

"You are serious, aren't you…"

Kail only nodded. "Come on. I'm a good driver." Megan just stared at him for a moment. "Really! Here," he tossed her a black helmet. She studied the helmet for a moment; it was hand painted with angel's wings.

"Cool helmet. You painted this didn't you?" she asked.

"Yup; it's Gabe's so it seems only too appropriate," Kail said casually.

"And then there's mine," he said holding up his; there was a phoenix on the back of his.

"Cool...I want one!"

"Thank you. Later. Now will you please get on? I promise I won't do over the speed limits."

"I don't know…" Megan said throwing him a look.

"Please," Kail asked in puppy eyes.

Megan smiled. "Okay." She walked over and hopped on behind him as he was putting his helmet on after he had tucked in his shirt.

"Here." Kail pulled out his black leather jacket. "Put this on, it'll keep you warm."

"Thank you," she said putting on the huge jacket and smiled it smelled like him. "Uhm, where do I hold on?"

Before Kail flipped the tinted visor down he turned and said, "me."

Megan hesitated for a moment. "Uh…o…kay, I guess."

Kail sighed and let his head roll to the right for a moment. He balanced the bike on one leg and grabbed her wrists and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hang on, ok?" She nodded and tightened her grip. "Too tight…"

"Sorry," she said loosening her grip.

"That's good. Now ya ready?"

The nervous girl nodded. Kail turned to look at her and smiled. He flipped her visor down and then his own.

"Here we go," he said as he lifted his leg and struck the gas, so to speak. And the Ducati purred, all 106 horses. Megan tightened her grip at the sound and felt Kail's stomach tighten; he was laughing. He slowly maneuvered the bike out to the garage opening and out onto the street. Megan tightened her grip once more as Kail checked both ways before he went out onto the street.

They were off in a loud rumble towards the main highways of Midgar.
