That night I woke up once again at three in the morning by my phone. It was Chad again but this time it was good to hear his voice.
"So when are you coming back home?" Chad asked sounding upset.
"I'm not sure but it doesn't sound like its going to be any time soon." I said and Chad sighed.
"I miss you." He said and I smiled. I knew it took a lot of courage for him to say that because he was one of those kinds of guys who kept their feelings to themselves.
"I miss you to babe." I replied and I knew he was smiling on the other end.
"Are there any guys their I should be worried about?" He teased. "Because babe, I know there is no way they've been able to keep their eyes off you. I couldn't."
"Oh yeah I have guys on me twenty for seven. Sean has to beat them off with a big pointy stick of doom." I said and Chad laughed. I was taken back at his reaction. It was the first time he had ever laughed at one of my jokes.
"Well I'm glad he's there to keep my girl in line." Chad said then I heard a woman's voice in the back ground.
"Who's that?" I asked and I held my breath waiting for his answer.
"Becky." He said but I didn't believe it was his sister for a moment. "I'll call you again tomorrow ok babe. I got to go."
"Yeah." I said hanging up the phone. I got out of bed and headed for the kitchen. Once again I found Han sitting at one of the tables. I sat down beside him and smiled. "Do you ever sleep."
"I do when there are no phones going off in the middle of the night." Han said giving me an accusing look.
"Don't start." I said getting up and getting a glass of water. Han looked at me concerned. But didn't ask. I sat back down and sighed. I really did need some one to talk to but Han was not my first choice. I debated waiting till morning so I could talk to Reiko or Neela but I didn't think I could wait that long.
"If you were a girl and your boyfriend called you but hung up when another girl's voice came from some where in his room, would you believe it if he told you it was his thirteen year old sister?" I asked and Han sat back in his chair with a look of knowingness. I sighed and put my head down on the table. "Yeah neither did I."
Han put his hand on my shoulder for reassurance. "If he loves you it was his sister. If he loves your cars it was another girl."
I looked up at him in surprise. I never thought of it that way. I had met Chad at the races. I beat him by five seconds and that next day he asked me out. I looked down at the Black Widow and a tear streamed down my face. I didn't know.
"Hey none of that." Han said whipping away my tears. I smiled and looked deep into his eyes. I could see the care in his eyes and it took me by surprise. I didn't think Han could care for some one of the female sex. Shaking it off I got to my feet and headed down to the Temptress. I lifted her hood and checked her out. She still wasn't done. There was something missing in her but I couldn't figure it out. I could hear Han walking up behind me but I ignored his presence. He looked down at her and nodded.
"She looks good." He said and I gave him a yeah right look. He then smirked. "For being built in a year she's a beauty. But you have you have her turned around. This car was meant to be built like the ones here."
"She's a hybrid." I said nodding towards her engine but Han shook his head. "Doesn't matter. I still say she'd work better if you turned some things around. Including the inside." Han said and I looked at him like he was crazy. But then it didn't sound like such a bad idea. But I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of him being right.
"What ever you say, but this car is staying the way she is." I said putting her hood down. "If you wanna work on a car go bug Sean. Or get your own."
Han smiled and nodded towards a new car that was covered with a tarp. I hadn't noticed it before. Han took the tarp of and I gasped. It was a 2007 dodge viper. It had a few scratches on its yellow paint but she was a beauty. I looked inside her and sure enough the drivers seat was opposite compared to mine.
"She's….well good choice." I said and Han smiled. I smiled back. "You know if you keep smiling around me I'm going to get the wrong idea."
"Most girls do." Han said and I rolled my eyes. He was hopeless. He walked up to me and nodded to the car. "Would you be willing to help me with her? she need a good paint job and I need some one who knows their way around a viper."
"Are you kidding me!" I said giving the car a hug. "I love these cars."
"I can tell." Han said giving me an odd look. I laughed and let go of the car. I wrapped my arm around Hans and gave him a playful tug.
"Come one you should know by now I'm hilarious." I said sarcastically.
"That's sarcasm…I thought it was craziness." Han said and I playfully pushed him away. He smiled and put the tarp over his new car. Then turned to me. "Now get your ass back to bed. You have school tomorrow."
"Yes Sean." I said to him rolling my eyes. I listened to him though and got back into bed. In the morning I was woken by Han shaking me awake. I opened one eye then closed it again. He shook me again and I sighed and opened both eyes.
"I was hoping I was having a nightmare, but no your actually here in my room waking me up." I told him but he didn't look happy.
"You need to be at school in ten minutes." Han told me and I shot out of bed.
"Where the hell is Twinkie?" I asked and knew he had left me. "Oh just wait till I get my hands on those little braids of his!"
"Get dress and meet me at your viper in five." Han said and walked out of my room before I could protest. I used my talents of getting ready fast and to his surprise met him in three minutes. He got into the drivers seat and I jumped in the passenger seat. This was the second time he drove my car with out asking, but I decided to give him three strikes before I got mad at him. The moment I shut my door Han sped out of the garage. I held on to the door as he drifted around a couple cars. I had never been a passenger in a race and I decided from that moment on I'd stick to driving. Han got me to school with two four minutes to spare. I got out of my car and every one around stared at me. I leaned over so I could talk to him threw the window.
"Is my underwear showing or some thing? Or maybe I forgot my shirt?" I asked him then looked down at myself. "Nope all intact. So tell me why the hell are they staring at me like that?"
"I drove you to school. And I drifted which I don't do a lot." Han said and I pretended to get all giddy.
"Well aint I special." I said with a high pitched giggle then I got serious. "Now beat it before I take my keys and make you walk back to the garage."
"You don't have to tell me twice." Han said then sped off cutting off another car.
"I saw that!" I called after him but I knew he didn't hear me. I walked into the school avoiding the looks of the other students and found Neela and Sean. I walked up to then and they immediately knew some thing was up.
"What did you do?" Sean asked with a sigh.
"A back flip hand spring." I said trying to look proud of myself. "You wanna see?"
"Not joking Ice what did you do?" Sean asked and I made a face at him.
"Well your no fun." I said then sighed. "Han drove me to school in my car because Twinkie didn't wake me up and I was going to be late."
"He drifted didn't he." Neela asked and I nodded. "So Han found a reason to drift."
"Yeah to take me to school." I said rolling my eyes. "That's it. he was just making sure my day didn't get worse because of last night."
"Wow! What did you to do?" Sean asked and I gave him a disgusted look.
"Chad called me last night and things were going good till I heard a woman's voice in the back ground. He said it was his sister and that he had to go." I said looking down at my feet.
"So." Sean said and Neela glared at him. She understood what I meant.
"Sean his sister is Thirteen and has a girly high pitch a voice that would annoy even the most preppy girls." I said and Sean got it threw his head. He put his arm around my shoulders in a brotherly hug. Then he pulled away and gave me a questioned look.
"That still doesn't explain how Han new about it." Sean said and I walked away throwing my hands in the air. He was impossible.
