If you had said to me yesterday. No, a few hours ago, if I had thought that Zeke and Four would ask me to be apart of their "race team". I would of laughed and told you that you must be joking and that there is no possible way that would ever happen. But now here I am standing in the yard's garage having a real discussion with the two of them about their 'team'.
"Tris we're only telling you so you can race with us." Zeke says concerned of how I would react. Four stands slightly behind him leaning one of the garage doors watching us. "Wait you want me to join you?" I ask them in disbelief.
"Yes." Zeke says pointedly. "Honestly I think you could dominate after some training." He says exaggerating the training. "What kind of training?" I question trying to keep my cool. "Race training, You know how to turn corners and shift correctly. That sort of stuff." I frown. Do they really think I would do this?
"How sure are you that I would do this?" I ask and start to pace slowly. "Tris I think you could benefit from this a lot, we all will, just think about it okay." Four says calmly with a small smile. I give him a small smile and play with the ends of my shirt. "When would we start?"
I watch as their faces light up and they both smile at me. I suddenly feel uncomfortable under their overly happy expressions. "Okay I didn't say yes I just asked when. Calm down." I say with a laugh.
"Tomorrow. Your first race would be next week Friday. You can come to this Friday's event and watch how I do it." Four says happily now standing.
"Okay would you both be training me?" I guess it would be a plus to learn from both of them.
"Possibly. Four said he wants to train you if you want. I could give you some tips of you want." Zeke says and I nod as acknowledgement.
They both nod and we decided it would be best off we went back to the barbecue. Driving is back I stop at a set of traffic lights when a black Chrysler 300c pulls up beside us.
I turn my head to the side as their dark tinted windows lowers and a man sits in the driver seat. I turn and look ahead of me as I grip the steering wheel tightly.
Four sits beside me. I don't know what his expression is but he puts a protective hand on my knee. I can see Zeke from the rear view mirror raise his eyebrows at Four's reaction as he stares at the back of Four's head.
"I see you have a new lady Four, the boys told me about her last week. She'll be a nice reward when I beat you at Rage and she leaves you for me." He laughs and when it hits my ears a chill runs through me.
The lights turn green and I floor it, I couldn't help my reaction or how all I wanted was to just get out of that situation. My hand moves quickly as I shift thought the gears at time I miss my mark but I'm even surprised by my own accord.
I lower the gears and I pull over to stop the car. I sit in silence not being able to pick up words to form an actual sentence. Both Zeke and Four stare at me in confusion as I stare ahead of me. Suddenly I can't help but smirk at what I just did. I feel fantastic.
"Tris are you okay?" Four says lightly, slightly scared by what just happened but I can tell his trying to keep his composure. "Yeah I'm fine. I really just hate that guy." I say and out the car in park and start to undo my seat belt.
"Did you want to switch with me?" I ask Four when I look at him. He looks at me intently then nods opening his door the same time I open mine.
We switch places and I find myself feeling more comfortable with Four behind the wheel. He starts the car and takes off from the side of the road.
Once we arrive back at the house the music coming from the backyard. One at a time we enter the the backyard through the back of the house. Zeke going first I follow behind him.
Cara gets up immediately when she sees Zeke walk through the large sliding door. She rushes past me towards Four who just follow me through the door. When she reaches him she wraps her arms around his neck planting a kiss on his lips. His taken back by her affection but doesn't say no as he lightly touches her, I look away.
Knowing I have work tomorrow I don't grab a drink instead I sit at the dining table next to Christina who looks at me questioningly. "So. What happened?" She asks a giant smile covering her face.
"Nothing." I answer nonchalantly with a shrug of my shoulders. I lean back into my chair. She frowns slightly but doesn't push for more answers.
I sit talking with Shauna and Christina about work when we hear the boys voices start to raise and Cara walking back into the house...
