Lightning headed upstairs and the couple got ready. He stepped in the hall and waited outside of Sally's door for her. When she finally emerged. She was breath taking. A long sleeve, long, black dress with a V in the front on her breastline. A slit that started right above her knee. Her hair was down and wavy overone of her shoulders. "You look so beautiful." Lightning complimented. Sally smiled and spun for him. "Really beautiful." he repeated. Sally bit her lips and grabbed his hands before kissing him with an amazing kiss! Her tongue entered his kouth so slowly and delicately. Rolling and swirling slowly. She was trying hard to tease and he could tell.

Sally pulled away and watched Lightning open his eyes and smile. "Nice try." he smarted. Sally shrugged replying "My kisses will only get better by the day." Lightning nodded "I can handle it.". "You look good to Monty." she complimented his jeans and dress shirt. Lightning rolled his eyes with a smile..

The couple met up with Carson at the restaurant. Nathaniel wasn't able to come along anyway. They sat down and ordered drinks. Lightning and Sally sat next to eachother across from Carson. The place was nice. Thick red table cloths..Carpeted though.. Nice large tables. A huge chandelier that sparkled. "This place is nice Mr Carrera, do you eat here often?" Carson stared and sipped his drink answering "No. But Sally deserves a treat. Sense she mostly eats diner food now.." Lightning glanced at Sally. More to see her reaction. She really didn't have one. There was beautiful spanish style guitar playing. The latin music was quite relaxing. Carson set down his drink and asked Monty, "So how much do you make Monty?" "Dad!?" Sally scolded immediate!

Lightning motioned her to calm down, "It's fine Sal.. That's actually a tricky question." Carson raised a brow and chuckled "How is that a tricky question?" Lightning played woth his drink explaining "Well..Most people would think stock car drivers make millions but that's not exactly true.. It depends on the sponsor and what you place and your points. You can cross the finish line first but be behind in say?.. 8th by points." Carson was a little confused but asked slowly "How much do you make?..." Lightning glanced at Sally before answering "I didn't make any money last year. My sponsor couldn't afford it." "Excuse me?" Carson snarled.

Lightning quickly continued "I did get an 80k bonus after the cup and now I'm making monthly. I make plenty okay." Sally added in, "Lightning is doing great!" "Once I get into the top drivers I'll be making as much as 20 mil a year. Just haven't reached that yet." Carson rolled his eyes and spoke to his daughter "The man makes so much less than you did working here. You better not be getting married but if you do you better have hin sign a prenup! I mean he called you Sal!? Sal! Does he know what the definition of that even is!?" Lightning spoke up "Hey! It's just a pet name.." "Like Lightning!?" he snapped. It got quiet.

Sally sighed and rubbed her eyes asking "Can we all order dinner and try to get along.. Please.." Carson nodded and browsed the menu. Sally and Lightning did the same. The waiter came by and the three ordered some food. It was so quiet. To quiet.

Carson cleared his throat and stared at Lightning. Lightning stared kinda nervously back at Carson. Both trying to figure each other out.. "Monty, do you like the latin music?" Lightning stared a moment before answering "It's nice." Carson nodded asking "Football?" "Not really. I am into cars.." "I see." Carson snickered. Sally glared at her dad a bit. "Ford or Chevy?" Carson asked. Lightning stared a bit unsure what he was asking. Carson noticed and explained "That is one of the biggest debates I hear. I wouldn't know sense I drive a BMW myself. My first car was a Buick though." Lightning nodded answering "Anyone who ask that doesn't understand that stock is stock. I can easily answer that with chevy. Chevrolet is better than Ford. Stronger engine, better fuel efficiency. Plus I have always favored the vettes look. But, I can make a ford better than a chevy myself. It's truly all in the hands of the owner of the car. What extras you put in or upgrades. Buick is gmc.. You realize that is Chevrolet originally?"

Carson snickered without answering. They ate. Silently. Lightning rested a hand on Sally's thigh under the table. It got her to look at him and smile. And Lightning wasn't meaning anything by it at first. Then he remebered the bet.. He tightened his grip around her thigh. Sally let out a deep breath. She felt it. He then rubbed down to her knee and the slit of the dress. Sally glanced at him and he her. They gazed at each other and he smiled slyly as his hand rubbed her knee gently. Sally cleared her throat and asked "So how is retirement Dad?" Carson sighed answering "Boring. Absolutely boring. I've been helping Nathaniel out sometimes. Ofcourse there's Norman. I love that grandson of mine." Sally smiled hearing about her young nephew.

Lightning rubbed the tip of his fingers into her thigh right next to her knee cap. It tickled some but Sally kept still. "What about you Monty? Any siblings?" Lightning stared answering as his hand froze, "Yeah a few. But they aren't my real siblings. I was a foster kid." Carson snickered and shook his head. Sally glared asking "What is that for?" Carson stared at the two of them answering honestly "You brought home a stray.." Lightning and Sally both stared surprised hearing that. But they continued to be polite. It was testing Lightning though... Oh how he had a few words he'd like to say to this man!..

Lightning placed his attention back to hos girlfriend. His hand rubbed inside the slit of the dress and up her thigh. At the moment, her thighs were tight together. He rubbed and geipped her thigh against the seat. Sally squirmed a little and readjusted herself. Opening her thighs to his warm hand.. Lightning rubbed in and closer.. He rubbed the tip of his fingers agaisnt her soft and silky panties.. Rubbing and pushing the material against her clit. She sighed and sipped her wine. Lightning smiled. Feeling he was doing well.. And winning.

She squirmed quite a bit more as his finger pressed deep into her. Pushing her panties gently and barely in her slit.. She was soaking them.. He could feel how wet he was making her through the silk! He loved this!.. Carson raised a brow and asked "Are you okay Sally?" Sally snapped answering "Yes!.." in a rasp and her voice choked a bit. Lightning snickered. "Ofcorse I'm okay.. Just.. Dinner isn't.. Going like I hoped between the.. the.." He was distracting her with his swirling fingers.. Pressing against her clit, between her legs... "The.. two of.. of you.." She closed her eyes and contained herself before grabbing his hand and pulling him away. Lightning stopped as she wanted. But oh he was winning. He had to take a napkin and discreetly dry his finger tips of her juices. Oh he wish he could have licked them.. But probably not the best time..

Sally squirmed and readjusted herself again as thwy all chatted a little. "So why a lawyer?" Lightning asked. Carson shrugged "My father was one." Lightning tried joking "The way your interrogating me, you should have become a cop." he faked a nervous laugh. Carson stared and raised a brow. Sally didn't seem to think it was much funny either. They finished eating. Silently again. The silence was so awkward..

Sally took Lightning's hand. And he thought she was being sweet and just holding his hand but.. Oh but!.. He felt Sally's other hand open his palm and place something in it? She pushed his fingers closer and removed her hands. Lightning felt the item in his fingers.. Soft?.. The cloth napkins?.. Oh god. His eyes widened as he glanced down at what he was holding. Her fucking panties! She took them off right here and right now and now!.. He was holding them which meant she... He glanced at Sally and all she did was smile and sip her wine. Fuck, she was winning. Fuck she was hot.

Carson stared asking "Now you seem on edge Monty? Surely I'm not that intimidating now, am I?" he got a kick out of it. Lightning was silent. His face was red and flushed. Sally smiled and asked "Yeah Monty.. Are you on edge?" His honest thought was Sally was being a teasing bitch! And he really underestimated this woman. "Uh..No. Nope! I'm just fine." He answered as he smiled to Sally and stuffed the panties into his pocket. Carson nodded it off, as he was clueless to the game his daughter and her boyfriend were playing.

Sally was extremely proud of herself. Too proud really. "Well. I'll pay the bill and we can all head home." Carson exclaimed. Sally and Lightning didn't have a problem with that idea. So the three of them headed back to the house. Carson locked the door and kissed his daughter on the cheek goodnight. He looked at Lightning and sighed. Not saying anything except "Seperate rooms please." Lightning smiled nodding "Ofcorse Mr Carrera." Carson glared. He didn't trust him and left to retire for the night.

Immediately once he was gone Lightning complained "You know your Dad is a really.. Great.. guy. I especially loved when he called me a stray and an overpaid glorified mechanic!" Sally didn't mean to but laughed and cupped his face replying "I warned you. He's got extremely high standards for the family. No worries. I'm sure he'll learn to love you." Lightning pushed her hands away. He was a little upset. But Sally wrapped her arms around him. Pressing her body to his. At this moment he realized she wasn't wearing a bra. Which reminded him that he had her panties!

"Missing something?" he asked, as he pulled out the silk material and held them up. Sally smiled snatching them back. Lightning shook his head and continued "You are a very mean woman." Sally rolled her eyes reminding "It was your idea Stickers." He sighed..It was... Only cause he thought it was an easy win! "You shouldn't make bets you can't win." She added. She began to wall toward her room but Lightning stopped her and grabbed her hand. She stared. "I love you." He said softly. Sally smiled and stepped closer replying "I love you too." They gazed at each other than Sallystuffed her panties into the collar, neck of his shirt saying "You keep them. It's the closest you're getting for a while." And then she walked off. She was mean. Lightning pulled the panties off and stared at them. Playing with them in his hands.

He was gonna have to try harder if he was gonna win this..

Morning came and Sally was talking to her dad without Lightning. Carson was making coffee and asked "I don't think you're being unreasonable Sally but this guy? Come on he's?.." "A stray?" Sally asked rudely. Carson sighed admitting "Maybe that was uncalled for but he is. His kind of people shouldn't be around you. He's a bad influence." Sally rolled her eyes snarling "That's not your choice to make." "What do you see in him hmm? What do you see in him that you didn't see in Ben?" Sally shook her head snarling "Why do you keep bringing Ben up? I get it, you liked him.. But.. You know even if I never left than the possibility of us making it through.. The baby... was still low."

Carson nodded and replied "I think you wouldn't have lost your baby if you had never left." Sally stared at her father that hurt. "I'm just being honest Sally." Sally nodded snarling "You always are just a little too honest." She walked off angry and upset. Carson truly believed he was the parent so he did nothing wrong kinda mind.

Sally went to Lightning's room but he wasn't there. She heard the shower. She needed him. She stood by the door and almost opened it.. But she remembered the bet.. She stood there and thought a moment.

She heard the shower stop. That's when she opened the door. Lightning had just stepped out of the shower and was dripping wet. Holding the towel just where it covered his area. They stared at each other as Sally quietly closed the door. "Uh.. You okay?.." He asked. Her face.. You could tell she was a little miffed or something. She was wearing a blue t shirt and plaid pajama pants. "Sally?.." He muttered. She was quiet. "My dad is a dick right?" She asked. Lightning wrapped the towel around his hips and shrugged. A little confused.

Sally sighed "My dad is. He really is.." Lightning just stared at her. Sally walked around him and sat down on the lid of the toilet. Lightning used another towel to dry his golden hair. "You want to leave early?" he asked. Sally shook her head. Lightning continued to brush his hair, his teeth. Sally asked "What are your parents like? Your foster parents I guess.." Lightning sighed answering "Their great people. Um.. My mom. She cooks at this restaurant. It's a small place but she takes her cooking to this.. Just.. Over the top.. She was always overdoing it to impress."

Sally snickered "That's kinda sweet though." Lightning nodded continuing "My dad owns a repair shop." "Is that where you learned about?.. cars?" she asked. Lightning shrugged. "My dad and brothers and I use to watch the races on tv together. Every week." he added. Sally smiled, "That's so sweet." Lightning only snickered at that.

"You wanna?.. Call it?" he asked, leaning against the sink. Sally raised a brow asking "Call what?" Lightning smiled explaining "You know? the bet? You mean your gonna stare at me in just a towel and don't want to just give in?" Sally rolled her eyes answering "No. No I'm fine just looking." Lightning shook his head and fixed his hair. "You do look awful good though.." She added. Lightnust smiled then opened the door, "I gotta get some clothes. Sadly I can't run around naked." Sally smiled and stood up nodding "I'm gonna get my shower now anyway." So Lightning left amd closed the door..

Lightning put on some jeans and a t shirt and headed to the kitchen to find a drink. Preferably coffee. He walked in and Carson stared at him a moment before leaving the room. Lightning shook his head and poured himself some coffee. But it wasn't a few seconds and Carson returned with something?.. Lightning sipped his coffee and watched as Carson placed a checkbook on the counter asking "How much to get you out of my daughter's life?" Lightning just stared silently a little confused and nervous too.

Carson sighed and clicked the pen adding "Come on. You obviously don't make much yet. Guessing you could use it?" Lightning shook his head answering "I.. I don't want your money?.." Carson rolled his eyes and snarled "Don't try being the hero. That's not the kind of man you are. You're hardly a man at all. Any price? I'm not worried about it." Lightning's brows lowered as he shook his head and spoke up "You are unbelievable. Just so you know.. I love Sally and I have"- "Than you are willing to marry her? Right?" Carson interrupted. "Kids? You realize she will want kids. And a man of your.. Career path.. Your personality.. You can't possibly make a good father. You are immature and treat women as objects." he added.

"You don't even know where you come from? For all you know you and my daughter could be related in some abstract way. You have a choice here. Take my money, get a cab, go home. With this money you could meet any woman out there. So write down your price. Because you are only going to hurt her.. And as her father, I am protecting her the best way I can. So.. Please.." He scooted the checkbook toward Lightning. Lightning stared at it. Staring at Carson. Yes, he had the chance to walk out, take a bunch of money and could buy off more girls than he knew what to do with. Lightning snickered and rubbed his hands over his eyes and chuckled lightly.

Carson raised a brow. Lightning shook his head replying "I don't want your money Mr Carrera. No, I'm not ready to marry your daughter and I am no where in a place that.. That makes me want kids anytime soon. But I do love Sally and.. Your money isn't going to make me leave her or change that.. Sally is the greatest thing to happen to me. Even better than racing." "So are you prepared to leave racing for her?" Carson asked. Lightning stared. That caught him by surprise. He smiled nervously answering "Sally would never"-"She will. She is an overpowering, overworking, organized, woman and she wears the pants in whatever relationship she gets herself into. One day she will get married and have kids. And whoever that man is? She will ask him to give up his career. Because she will not be able too. So, again.. Are you prepared to give up racing for my daughter? Maybe even change your career to something more suitable."

Lightning swallowed hard and nervously. Silent and staring and truly thinking about that question. "I.. I would never change my career.. But.." he paused thinking. He and Sally had almost been together a year.. Would he give up racing for her if she asked?..

Unknowingly Sally stood behind the wall and near the kitchen entrance... Awaiting his answer aswell...
