Chap. 8 – Curiosity Kills

A few nights later, she wondered down to the kitchen in the middle of the night, "What are you doing up?" She saw an outline of somebody and jumped.

"Shit Dom, don't do that… I couldn't sleep," She hesitated, "What are you doing up?"

"Couldn't sleep. Come with me for a minute," Georgie followed Dom into the garage. He flicked the fluorescent lights on, and Georgie's eyes painfully re-adjusted. Before her stood a beautiful white car, with a stampeding herd of wild horses of the side; though they did look wicked and murderous. It faded from a royal blue, to a bright green.

"Dom, it's gorgeous, but I don't need a car like this."

"Yes, you do. I'm going to teach you to race, then you'll race and win."

Georgie reached up to peck him on the lips, but what turned into a peck grew long and passionate. But Dom Broke.

"Sorry, it's the age factor. No harm in boundaries," He walked off.

"Unless it prevents affairs of the heart."

The Next Night…

"Where are you going?" Dom asked Georgie.

"That's none of your business," She told him as she grabbed her keys and left. A few miles down the road she saw Dom's car following her, and gaining speed, "Wanna play cat and mouse? Let's see what you've really got," Georgie sped her car, weaving through the light, night traffic. She turned down another road, which led to a rural area. They could really let the cars run on these streets. She decided she had enough fun, and stopped her car. She got out and faced Dom's car, as it came to a halt.

"What the hell were you thinkin'? You could have killed…" Then it hit Dom like a freight train, "You know how to street race don't you?"

"There's a lot you don't know about me," Georgie replied smugly, "Took you long enough to figure it out. Let's see," She scanned her odometer, "Approximately 50 miles." She sighed, "I'm not who you think I am. I've tried drugs, I don't know how many times I've been hung over and praying to the porcelain god… You asked me why I quit riding; the horse flipped and crushed my pelvis, I can't have children because of that accident. I'm not a virgin, I've tried suicide once… I'm not what everyone thinks I am."
