Ch.12
In the next couple of days it seemed kind of tense between Nolo and Kris. Kris tried to stay away from Nolo as much as possible, she hung out with Markie more and more, and kept an eye on Kurt alot more. Kurt had noticed how Kris and Nolo dodged each other alot. Kris was under the hood one morning when the alarm went off, she sighed and listened as Dr. Tezla called out the people that would go into the realm,
"the following drivers will go into the realm, Nolo Pasaro, Kurt Wylde, Mark Wylde, Taro Kitano, Karma Eiss, and Tork Maddox."
"Thank you" Kris whispered into the wind, she really didn't want to go in, but she might as well go see how the other drivers are doing.
Inside the realm the drivers were having a hard time of it. They had entered a storm realm, the sky was dark and there were poles with lighting on them, as they drove along the lighting would flicker and then try to hit the car, the drivers had to be careful, and if they hit, the lighting will temporarily stall the car. And with the drones there, it didn't help.
Kris had headed upstairs and stood behind Lani, watching the drivers. Dr. Tezla and Gig were there to looking at the hologram of the Wheel of Power. Kris sighed, hoping that all of the drivers would get out okay. Nolo came over the Comm,
"We have drone problems" Nolo said
"Try to stay on track and don't let them get to the end first" Lani said
Nolo kept going, with the other Teku behind him. He had to look out for his team, but at the same time try not to let a drone pass.
Kurt was the first one out of the realm. Nolo followed, and then Taro, Karma, Markie, and Tork. Kris walked down to see how everything was. As she walked towards them, Nolo looked at her, luckily they had won. Kris headed towards Kurt and Markie, and Nolo headed off to fix his car.
That night Kris was under the hood when Nolo headed towards her, he was up late that night, and figured to get some work done. Kris heard footsteps behind her and picked her head up and looked over at him. She sighed and looked at Nolo.
"Couldn't sleep" Kris asked
"Yeah, what about you" Nolo
said
"Same here" Kris said
Silence hung for a little bit when Kris spoke up again,
"Nolo?" Kris said
"Yeah" Nolo said looking over at her
"I know we have been dodging each other lately, but maybe if we get the feeling out there, we can over come this" Kris said
"mmmmm." Nolo grunted
"Like the Ki..." Kris started to say, "ki...I can't even say it"
"I'm the same way" Nolo said,
"what happened" Kris said
"I don't know...Kris I will be up front with you. I like you...really like you, but..." Nolo said
"If Markie or Kurt found out are hides would be toast...well at least mine" Kris said
"Yeah" Nolo said
"I like you Nolo, I really do, but.." Kris said
Nolo cut her off and layed his lips to her and passionately as possible kissed her. "We just keep it a secret for a while" Nolo said
"okay" Kris said, kissing him back. Kris could agree with that, but both of them had to be careful about how they acted around each other from now. Specially with Kurt and Markie nearby if they talked or stayed with each other to much, Kurt or Markie would pick up on it, but for now they would try to keep it a secret and not let anyone know.
