CH2
Rome was waiting outside the garage waiting for Alex, then Suki came out with Tej and Brian.
"Don't worry, she'll be here, trust me. When she says she's going to be, she'll be here." Suki explained.
"I know, I know" Rome said as he started to pace.
"Damn, man, I've never seen you like this before," Tej paused as he placed a hand on Rome's shoulder, "Relax man"
Just then, a midnight blue Nissan Skyline GTR pulled up and out got Alex. Rome stared at her, she had her shoulder length hair had been straightened, she had black eyeliner and mascara that brought out her green eyes, she wore a pinky/purple lip gloss. She wore a black tank top that showed a little of her stomach, a denim mini skirt and knee high buckle up boots.
She walked over to the group and stopped infront of Rome, "Hi"
"Hey, so, is this going to be a date?" Rome asked
Alex smiled, "Yeah, I suppose so"
"Cool, then I guess that this is the place to do this" with that he kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey Alex, please tell me that you havent forgotten about me" Suki said.
Alex walked over to Alex, and gave her a kiss on the cheek,"Of course I haven't forgotten about you."
"Alex, is that you?" a voice from behind her said.
Alex turned around to see who it was, "Oh my god, Lance, how have you been? Haven't seen you for ages"
"Yeah, haven't seen you since you left. I see that you finally got away from 'him'."
"Yeah, it wasnt't easy, but I did"
"Well it's good to see that your ok."
Alex smiled, "Yeah, I'm glad too" she paused, "So what are you doing here?"
"I'm racing, same with Peter and Tim... We agreed to race with this guy named Brian"
Alex laughed, "No offence or anything, but, Brian is really hard to beat"
"Oh, and how do you know this?" he asked.
"Let me introduce you to the others. Come on" she walked over to the group and stood next to Rome, "Lance, this is Tej, you already know Suki, that's Brian and this is my date, Roman. Guys this is Lance"
Rome put a hand out, "Just call me Rome, everyone else does"
Lance shook Rome's hand, "Congratulations, she's a great girl. If me and her were single the first time I met her, I would've been with her"
"Thanks man"
Then Lance said hi to the others.
Rome put an arm around Alex's shoulders, as Alex spoke, "So where are Peter and Tim?"
"They're around, I think that they're trying to get some girls"
Alex laughed, "Figures. Are they racing?"
"Peter is, but Tim aint for some reason."
"Whatever it it, it must be for a good reason."
Tej stepped up, "We're all ready for the race, lets get this started"
"Alright" Lance said as he went back to his hotted up Ford XR8.
"Nice Ford he has there." Rome commented.
"Ever since I have met him, he has. Tim's in the 240sx, and Peter is in the red Skyline GTR" Alex pointed out, "I'm just going to say hi to them before the race, I'll be back" she kissed Rome on the cheek and went over to Peter and Tim's cars where they were leaning against the hood of thier cars.
"Hey guys" Alex said.
"Alex, what's up?" Peter said as he kissed her on the cheek and agve her a hug.
"How are you?" Tim asked as he did the same.
"I've been alright. What about you guys?"
"Great, so you got yourself another guy yet, or has 'he' put you off guys for good?" Peter asked.
Alex laughed, "As a matter of fact, I'm actually with my date tonight, he only asked me today."
"Wow, good on ya, it's good to see that your moving on" Tim said.
"Yeah, let me introduce him to ya" she turned around and called out, "Hey Rome, can you come over her please for a minute?"
Rome jogged over, "What's up?"
"Rome, this is Tim and Peter, my team mates from back home, guys, this is Rome"
They shook hands, with each other, "It's good to see that Alex has found someone" Peter said.
"I agree" Tim agreed.
Tej came up behind Alex and Rome, "OK guys, let's get this race started"
"Alright, good luck guys" with that they went up on the foot path as Lance, Peter, Brian got in thier cars and drove up to the starting line as they were at the finish line outside 'Tej's Garage'
The race soon started after that and Brian was haing a rather difficult time trying to shake off the 'Mystery Driver'
Tim, Alex, Rome, Tej, Suki and Jimmy were at the finish line cheering for Brian to win, as they were approaching the finish line, Brian was doing his best to shake 'Mr Mystery' but nothing was working.
Then they both crossed, it was the 'Mystery Driver' who had won.
"Damn, man, he lost" Rome said.
The 'Mystery Driver' stepped out of the car and once he walked over to Tej to collect the money, and Alex almost fainted, she just hung onto Rome's arm.
Rome looked down at Alex, "What's wrong?"
"See the guy who beat Brian, he's... he's my ex-boyfriend. The player."
"Oh, don't worry, I wont let him near you."
When Lance pulled up, he jumped out of his car as soon as he saw the guy, and went up to him, "Well, look who comes to the races. If it isn't our old team mate, but I don't really think of you as a team mate at all." Lance said as he got up in his face.
The guy went to take a swing at Lance when Alex got Lance and pushed him away, "Lance, knock it off"
"Come on Alex, you know exactly what he did." Lance yelled, then he lowered his voice, "I'm just looking out for you."
"I know you are."
"Don't I get a 'hello'?" the guy said.
Alex turned around, "NO! Now what the hell are you doing here? Actually a better question... How the hell did you find me?"
The guy smiled, "Alex, I love you and I wanted to find you so I hired a P.I. and he found you... I want you back."
"No Mitch, I will never go back with you, this is my life now... A life without you."
Mitch laughed, "You belong to me and you are going to come back with me"
"I said no..."
Rome got in the middle of Alex and Mitch, "She said no man, so take your car and your money and get lost"
"Oh, so who are you? Her new boy toy?" Mitch mocked.
"Alright that's it. Your going down now" Lance said and tried to attack Mitch, but held back by Tim, Peter and Brian.
Alex looked Lance in the face, "Look, calm down. Rome will handle this"
While Alex was calming Lance, Rome and Mitch were talking, "So get out of here and I don't want to ever see you at this garage again. Am I clear?"
"Fine," as he walked away he turned around, "I dont want to see your nigga faces again anyway."
That had set Alex off, "That's it! I have had enough of you" but before she could do anything, Rome had started punching the living day lights out of Mitch.
Alex just stood there for a minute watching as he continue to fight, then she ran over and tried to pull Rome off, "Rome! Rome! Come on, let's go!" She turned around "Guy's help me" Alex turned around again and Mitch punched her. Then that's when everyone pulled off Rome.
Mitch got up and wiped his lip, "I'll be back... For her." he pointed at Alex, got in his car and took off.
Rome walked over to Alex, "Are you alright?"
Alex looked at Rome, "I'm alright," she looked at his lip and eye, they had started to bruise, "Are you?"
Rome smiled, "Yeah, come on lets go. I live in the boat house out back. You can stay with me coz he may be heading to your place. I don't want you by yourself whil he is around."
"Ok... Is there a first aid kit around?"
"Yeah, in the office."
"Alright, you go around the back and I'll be there in a minute, I've just got to get my car off the road. Aight?"
"Aight" Rome replied.
With that she got up off the ground and got in her car and put it in the garage where Tej had told her to put it, locked it then got the first aid kit out of the office then went around back to the boat where Rome was.
"Hey, what are you doin'?"
"Just cleaning up abit"
"Look you don't have too." Just then Rome grabbed his ribs, "What's wrong?"
"I think I might have a cracked rib or two, nothin' big"
"Let me take a look?"
"Nah, it's nothin... Or do you wann just look at my sexy body?"
Alex just looked at him.
"Aight" with that he took off his tank top and Alex examined his ribs.
"You may have fractured them, you should go to the doctor tomorrow to get them checked out."
"Hell no"
"Fine, let me look at your lip" Alex looked at his lip and bruised eye. She got out the anticeptic and sprayed some on a cotton ball and dabbed it in Rome's lip.
She also got out an ice pack from the freezer and pressed it against his eye.
"Damn, girl, you have to press it so hard?"
"Well sorry, here hold it" she said and he did.
"Thank You!"
"No worries" after that it was just silent and Rome took the opportunity to kiss her. He slowly got closer and thier lips toched slightly.
For the rest of the night, they talked until about 3am then they both fell asleep in each others arms...
