Chapter 2: An Angel


"Emily." Toby slapped me on the shoulder and took a swig of his half empty bottle of Fire Ball whiskey.

"You seen Caleb?" I took the bottle from his hands and gulped down the spicy liquor.

"I just saw him."

"He's somewhere around here." Toby swayed to the beat of the music as he looked around, nearly losing his balance.

I followed his line of sight through the pile of people on the couch. Caleb wasn't among them, but Noel was, he nodded at me with a smug grin that I wanted to knock off his face. But the brunette in his lap whispered in his ear, regaining his attention.

"I need a drink. You should also sit down before you fall on your face." I rolled my eyes at Toby and walked towards the bar. I stopped when Noel appeared at my side.

"You're wasting your time."

"We'll see." I rolled my eyes and began to walk away.

"You're staying away from her." He stepped in front of me, blocking me from walking away.

"Plenty of other nice girls out here. I'm just trying to save you some time and the trouble." He smirked dangerously.

"Right."

He inhaled, standing taller and squaring up to me. Did he really think he intimidated me?

"She's mine. You're not going to touch her. You're not going to talk to her. Don't even look at her." He stepped closer to me. I stepped closer, toe to toe with him.

"She's not yours. She will never be yours. I'll do what the fuck I want. She deserves so much better than some lowlife asshole like you-"

"Em." Caleb's voice cut me off.

"You need something?" Caleb turned to Noel.

"Just talking to your girl here." He eyed me before retreating away from us.

"What was that about?" Caleb asked.

"Nothing serious." I sighed.

"You racing tomorrow night?"

"I don't know. Thinking about it." I shrugged unknowingly.

"Do it. You could win some real money. Everyone's betting on that asshole Noel."

"I'm in." I replied almost instantly. I am going to kick Noel's ass in tomorrow's race.

"Great, I'm gonna grab Toby and drop him off at Spencer's. Then I'm going home. Hanna's waiting for me."

"Alright. You sure you can drive?"

"Yeah. I'm completely sober. I'll be fine. Take care of yourself." He laughed.


"There's no way she's going to win this race."

"Noel is gonna crush that bitch."

"This bitch is about to get destroyed."

I clenched my teeth and ignored the cruel remarks being thrown my way, approaching my Ford Shelby GT500.

"Let's race." Caleb yelled, receiving roars of approval throughout the crowd. I got inside my car, following the cars lining up at the starting line. Other cars parked to block the road off. I pressed my foot down on the gas pedal just enough to make the engine hum with that deep muscled powered.

I reved the engine once again, feeling the RPM's shake the frame as a buzz traveled through my body. It was exhilarating.

I love that feeling.

The large crowd's measured uproar of approval drawed my attention to where they lined up along sides of the track. Other racers, with their streetcars decked out and parked on display.

This is what I live for.

I slowly became aware of the black tinted window of the driver's door disappearing into the doorframe of the car next to me and I quirked an eyebrow as I took in the sight of the other driver.

It was Noel Kahn, smirking. I forced my eyes away from him and took a deep breath.

I wiped my clammy palms on my jeans and wrapped my fingers around the steering wheel. And now I wanted to win this race more than ever, if only to wipe away that fucking smirk off Noel's face.

My adrenaline started pumping as one of the start girls, stepped up in front of the cars, after giving me a flirtatious wink, she raised her handkerchief high above her head.

She dropped her handkerchief in one swift downward swooping motion to indicate the start of the race.

I tore my foot back from the clutch and pressed down on the gas pedal to spring the Mustang into action.

A egotistical smirk covered my face as I launched ahead of Noel's car. My heart was racing as I sped down the track, shifting gears and keeping the car steady and straight. I noticed his car catching up to mine.

"Shit." I muttered, pressing ever harder on the gas pedel.

I held my breath as both our cars sped closer and closer to the finish line. I overcame Noel and drove through the finish line.

I impressively swerved the car to a stop and released the breath I had been holding in. I exited the vehicle, and I was immediately bombarded by people.

Grumbles around me let me know that not many had bet on me, there were cheers too of those who were smart enough to bet on me.

Down the road, Noel got out his car in a hurry, throwing a tantrum, kicking his car in anger.

My eyes flickered over the crowd and I met Alison's cerulean eyes. She was standing on the side of the track. She waved at me.

My knees weakened at the sight of her. I braced myself, starting to walk over to her.

"Hey." I shot her a charming smile.

"What the hell were you thinking? You could've hurt yourself." She crossed her arms. That angry glare was sexy as hell, I smirked.

"Chill, I'll be alright. I'm a god at racing." I joked ludicrously. She giggled at me.

"You sure you don't wanna go check on your boyfriend? He seemed pissed."

"He'll be fine." She shrugged carelessly.

I scratched the back of my neck, something I tend to do when I was nervous.

"Do you wanna go somewhere quiet?" I looked around, motioning to the ear-piercing music and loud screaming.

"Sure." She nodded. I grabbed her hand, feeling shots of electricity jolt through my hand. We walked down the road away from all the commotion.

"Damn, I should've brought a jacket. It's freezing out here." She rubbed her arms, attempting to heat herself. It was freezing but being the idiot I was, I slowly removed my leather jacket, holding it out for her to take.

"Here." I smiled innocently.

"No, Em. I'll be fine." She shook her head frantically. I smiled fondly at her calling me Em.

I continued holding it out for her to take. She sighed, unable to stop the smile from spreading across her face and took the jacket.

I helped her slip it on and smiled at how cute she looked wearing my jacket. It was too big for her and I chuckled.

She looks as though she is an angel, in the form of the most beautiful girl on earth. Cerulean eyes so crystal clear that you could see rivers, oceans, the world through them. Nothing could compare with her beauty. She has the body of a goddess, lithe and beautiful. With every step she took, it looked as though she were floating, and I only became more convinced that I had found an angel.

"Like what you see?" Her seductive, tensing voice ripped me out my fantasy. She sucked in a long breath, studying me with her gorgeous blue eyes. She chewed down on her bottom lip for a moment.

The look in her eyes stirred something in my stomach that made my skin pulse. And I stepped towards her.

Fuck it.

I slid my hand around her neck, gripping the back of her neck, giving her a second to reaction. But she only melted into my hand, her lips parting slightly. I didn't waste anymore time and covered her willing mouth with mine. Tasting her fruity lip gross, as my tongue slid pass her lips, her supple body pressed against mine.

All the focus was on our mouths, lips, tongue. I felt it everywhere, tension building in my muscles.

My soft hands moved between us, pushing her breasts together. I rubbed her nipples through her bra. She moaned, making my panties even more damp. She lightly pushed on my chest and we broke the lustful kiss.

I ran my hands through my hair, attempting to process what just happened.

"Damn it." Out of all the girls I had ever kissed. I had never felt anything like that. It felt so right. So good. I was falling for this girl.

Suddenly her phone rang out, shattering our moment.

I could already hear Noel's agitated screams through her phone.

"Look, baby, I'm on the way." She breathed annoyingly and hung up her phone.

"I-I have to get back. Noel's waiting for me. Here's your jacket." She began peeling my jacket off.

"No, keep it. Next time I see you I'll get it back." I smirked knowingly.

"How do you know you'll see me again?"

"I just know."

"Goodnight Em." She stood on her toes and leaned up, kissing my cheek softly.

"Goodnight Ali." I mumbled, watching her fade in the distance.

Please be kind and review. Thanks! Hope you liked it.
