Drea's POV

Hammers. That's what it felt like. Like someone was bashing my head in with a hammer. I opened one eye and squinted. I was in my room. I slowly sat up and put my head in my hands. I was still wearing the clothes I had on last night. What the hell had I done? I remember going to the races, walking around with Twink, and meeting somebody named Takashi and some of his friends. Anything after that was blank.

I crawled out of bed and went into the kitchen to find Han sitting at the island with a cup of coffee. I went past him and poured myself a cup. I sat down across from him and put my head on the table.

Soon I felt Han's fingers running through my hair. I smiled and let out a soft moan.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Like an elephant sat on my head. What happened last night?"

"Well when I found you, you were passed out on a couch with a liquor bottle in your hand, and some guy was trying to get into your pants." He said coolly. I looked up at him with wide eyes.

"Oh God." I said. "I remember meeting someone named Takashi."

"I want you to stay away from him." He told me.

"Why?"

"When I got here, I used most of what I had left to buy this garage and some cars. I ended up meeting Takashi, the old DK, or Drift King. His uncle Kamata is Yakuza, the mafia. So any money that was made on his turf, he got 50 percent. I became business partners with Takashi, but what he didn't know was that I was doing side deals and I wasn't giving him all the money from the deals he was doing."

"Why would you do that? Obviously he would've found out." I said.

"Eventually he did. That pissed Takashi off and he came to the garage and pulled a gun on me. Then he got even more pissed when he saw that Neela was there with Sean. We ended up in this big chase and I wrecked my car pretty bad. I was able to get out seconds before the car blew up."

"Holy shit. What happened after? Were you alright?" I said. Why hadn't he told me this before?

"Yeah, I was on crutches for a while, but I'm all better now. Sean went to Kamata saying that they needed to settle it once and for all. They had a big race on the mountain and whoever lost had to leave town. Sean won but obviously Takashi didn't leave town. So please stay away from him, you will get hurt." He said and looked at me. I got up off the stool and went over and wrapped my arms around him, laying my head on his chest. He hugged me back, resting his chin on the top of my head.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said. He looked down at me and smiled.

"It's okay, just don't scare me like that alright?" I nodded and made my way to the shower, hoping to god it would take my hangover away. I found some Advil in the cabinet after and went into my room to change. I put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and pulled my hair back. I got in my nightstand and pulled out my pack of cigarettes and lighter. I hadn't smoked since Letty died, and I knew that I shouldn't be doing it now, but what the hell. I opened the window and leaned out of it, lighting the cigarette. I closed my eyes on the first hit and let it out slowly. To be honest it made me feel so much better.

About halfway through, there was a knock on my door and before I had a chance to toss the cigarette out the window, Han walked in and stopped when he saw what I was doing.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked walking over to me. I rolled my eyes and took another hit.

"Don't patronize me Han, you used to smoke two packs a day, that's why you need to eat so many damn chips, it's a wonder you're not really fat by now."

"I'm not, I just thought you had quit." He said. Yeah, I did too. Guess I had a relapse huh Han.

"Do you ever wonder if we were meant for different lives Han?" I asked him, putting the cigarette out.

"What do you mean?" He asked, sitting on the bed. I sat next to him and crossed my legs pretzel style.

"I mean, what if we weren't meant for this? Running all the time. Don't you ever wish you just had normal life? Away from cars and racing and drama?" I said.

"Racing is who I am, it's in my blood I couldn't imagine my life around it." He replied.

"I couldn't either, but just sometimes I wish I could have some sort of normalcy in my life. Someday. I want a big house with a white picket fence and a dog. I want a family." I said. A tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away, feeling embarrassed. "You probably think I'm crazy." I said making to get up. Han softly grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to the bed. He took my hand in his and looked at me.

"Do not for one second think you're crazy for wanting some kind of normalcy in your life, God knows you haven't had enough, and I definitely don't think you're crazy for wanting a family." He said, giving me a small smile. I did want a family. With him. I must be crazy, but that's all I wanted. I looked up at him and realized that if I didn't do something about it now, I never would. I leaned up and kissed him softly. He stilled at first, then started kissing me back. I had waited for so long to kiss Han again. He softly rolled me over so he was on top, my hands finding their way around his neck. Our tongues were fighting for dominance and I let out a soft moan when his hand started making its way up my leg. Han stopped and looked at me.

"Drea what are we doing." He said, but I put a finger to his lips to silence him.

"It's you. It's always been you Han. I know you feel something for me. Please, just try." I whispered. The look in his eyes seemed like he was fighting with himself over something, then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and before I knew it, his lips were crashing down on mine. I couldn't have been happier. I shivered when his hand came up to the skin just above my jeans. I quickly pushed up so that I was sitting and pushed his button-up shirt down, revealing a white tank top.

He began trailing kisses down my neck and I pushed him down so that I was straddling him. My mouth found his and it was slow and sensual, like no other kiss I had ever experienced. I pulled away slowly and rolled over to lay next to him, staring at the ceiling. I felt the bed shift and he was up on one elbow looking at me.

"Wow." He said.

I looked over at him. "Yeah."

"I can't believe I've waited so long to do that." He said.

"You don't know how long I've waited for you to do that." I said softly. He brushed a strand of hair out of my face then leaned and kissed me softly.

"I could get used to this." He said. I smiled.

"Definitely."
