BBbzzz. BBbbzzzz. Lightning faintly heard his phone buzz. He rolled over in bed and glanced at the clock. 4.02 in the morning. Way too early. He didn't have to get up until 7! He sighed and grabbed his phone. Rubbing his eyes just to be able to read it. Josie. LIghtning glanced over at Sally who was still passed out asleep. So he sat up opened the message.
Josie
I'm coming to the race this weekend. Hopefully, we can hang out again ;)
Lightning stared. Hang out? Again? WInky emoji? Lightning glanced at Sally again then back at his phone. Staring at the message before finally replying.
Lightning
Yeah, I'd love that
...
Josie
Me too. I'm looking forward to it.
.. ...
Lightning
Won't have much time. Having a bachelor's party after the race.
... ... ..
Josie
That's fine. Want to meet up the day before qualifying?
Lightning glanced at Sally again before replying.
Lightning
I think I can do that. Just depends if I can get out there and get qualified quickly or not. Where you wanna meet up? I'll be there late tonight technically.
...
Josie
Really? Why don't I just meet you tonight? I can do that.
...
Lightning
Yeah, okay.
.. .. ...
Josie
Where are you staying? I can meet you there. :)
...
Lightning
I'll call you later with more details. Staying at the Flywheel Suites this weekend.
...
Josie
Sounds fancy! What time? Room number?
.. ...
Lightning
Seven. I'll call. Just meet me there.
Josie
Okay! See you in a while!
Lightning set his phone down. SIghing. He wasn't cheating. He loved Sally and was marrying Sally. There was no one like Sally...
Lightning got up and showered, getting ready to head out for another weekend racing. Sally opened the bathroom door to see him brushing and fixing his golden hair. She leaned on the door frame and asked, "Are you excited?" With a smile on her face. Lightning looked at her. Looking her up and down and up again before answering, "I guess. It's just another race." He shrugged. Sally giggled then walked over behind her love and rubbed his shoulders. Staring at him through the mirror. "I mean for our wedding." She corrected. LIghtning smiled, "Oh, yeah. I can't wait to make you my wife." "Really?" "Of course. Then instead of introducing you as my girlfriend, I'll be able to say, Oh, have you met my wife, Sally, or And this amazing woman here is my wife, or let me introduce you to my wife, Sally." He said enthusiastically. Sally giggled and blushed. It was so cute the way he said that.
Lightning turned around, facing his future, and cooed, "I love you, Sally." "I love you too." She replied. Lightning sighed then kissed her lips softly before announcing, "Bobby is throwing my bachelor party this weekend after the race." "Oh. Tight timing. Will you make it home before having to leave for the next race? We are supposed to meet with Holden again." "I'm not sure but I'll let you know when I know more. Promise." "Hmm.. Alright. YOu better behave regular less." Sally warned, putting a finger in his face. Lightning chuckled as he pushed her finger down gently. "I will." He assured. "I told Bobby nothing risky. I don't want anything that would make you upset with me." "Awe.. That's sweet. Thank you. I appreciate that. Back when Ben and I got married, I'm pretty sure he slept with another woman but I can't be sure." LIghtning's brows raised as he assured firmly, "I'm definitely not doing that to you. Ever. I can't. I just can't cheat on my wife." Sally smiled up at her love. She had the most perfect man on earth...
LIghtning got out of the cab and paid the driver before grabbing his suitcase out. He looked up at the fancy emblem of the FlyWHeel suites. He entered and saw Josie in the lobby. Wearing a long fur coat Brown. Looked good with her red hair. Lightning walked up to the desk and checked in. Grabbing a few reporters' attention. And Josie's She sat there watching. Waiting for the cameras to move on. Lightning smiled for them for a moment, got his key then once they left him be, Josie approached the racer. She smiled. "Well hello there, Lightning." LIghtning snickered and asked, "Did you have a good trip here?" Josie nodded. They began to walk together to Lightning's room.
Lightning asked as they entered the escalator. "So what made you want to hang out again?" Josie shrugged answering, "Well.. I can't say it wasn't that kiss." SHe teased. Lightning snickered. They made their way to his room and he opened the door. Josie walked in, he followed, closing the door behind him and locking it. Josie nodded in approval as she checked the room out. "It's nice. Not too big, but still luxurious." LIghtning set down his things and checked his phone. No calls or texts. He set it down and walked over to Josie. Brushing her hair behind her ear, gazing into her eyes. Josie smiled. She then leaned forward and kissed his lips. The two began making out fairly quickly. LIghtning's hands in her hair as their tongues intertwined.
Josie moaned quietly into his mouth. Lightning moaned back. His hands glided down her neck, her upper back, and lower back, grabbing her ass gently then firmly. Josie broke the kiss only to breathe for a second then after a gasp of air went right back to making out with her former boyfriend. Josie's hands went to his belt and Lightning pushed her away, stepping a few steps back and abruptly ending the session. Josie stared at him with confusion while he stared back with a pale and panicked face! Josie's breathing slowed as she asked, "Wh-what's wrong? I.. I thought"-"I know. I didn't... It's my fault..." Lightning admitted quietly. Rubbing his hands over his stress-ridden face. He was extremely disappointed in himself. How could he do this? He was stressed. That's all this was. "Josie..." He cooed. "Lightning?.." She whispered. Lightning swallowed loudly before continuing, "I'm sorry but.." "Stop. I took it too far. I see that. Let's just go watch a movie or something. Kay?" She suggested as she took off her coat. Tossing it over a chair. Lightning watched her walk and sit on the couch. He wasn't so sure about this. It was a little awkward now and it started to feel like cheating. But he wasn't. Was he? He was confused himself now. Guilt. That's what this was. He felt... Guilty...
Josie had fallen asleep on Lightning's shoulder. That or she was resting extremely still and quietly. Lightning watched the tv. Glancing at her from time to time. This was a woman he could have married if it weren't for Sally. Josie had this power over him. He knew he couldn't do what needed to be done. They needed to part ways for good. Say goodbye and she would move to London. For the sake of his marriage to Saly. And honestly, if Josie had cheated on Jenson as she bragged about, Josie wasn't the same woman he fell for. That helped. Thinking about how Josie wasn't the same woman she once was helped him feel less guilty because then he didn't want to be with her. Yeah. He didn't like who she had become at all. Josie moaned quietly and shifted. Waking up, she looked up at Lightning. "Oh.. What time is it?" She asked. Lightning glanced at his phone. "Nine twenty-two." "Sorry.." Josie apologized as she sat up and wiped her lips. Lightning shrugged assuring it was alright then he cradled her face in his hands and kissed her. The two began making out again. Passionately. Fuck it. She was a weakness, his kryptonite! He tried thinking about how Josie was a cheater, a slut who slept around behind her husband's back! Sadly that kind of turned him on. He wondered what the hell was wrong with him for that one. Their lips parted. They stared into each other's eyes. Josie glanced down and smiling asking, "Doesn't it get bigger than that?" LIghtning glanced down, seeing his semi boner through his jeans, he grabbed a pillow and covered his lap. grinning awkwardly.
Josie couldn't help but giggle. "Is this as far as you want to take this? Kissing?" she asked. LIghtning frowned answering, "Yeah, I.. I can't sleep with another woman. I'm sorry.. I want to but.. I can't do it." "I understand." "How? You cheat." He reminded. Josie glared at Lightning and threatened, "Don't judge me. You don't know my life or my marriage, Lightning." LIghtning's brows lowered. She was right. He didn't. SO Josie then removed the pillow and placed her hand over his not-so-there anymore boner and asked, "So... No sex. comprehended. What about playing doctor?" Her finger trailed up his stomach, his chest, his throat to his chin. Tempting. Lightning started at her breasts. He'd love to see them again but. "No.. I'm sorry. I think I'm going to bed. Alone. You are welcome to stay on the couch." He offered as he pulled away and stood up. Walking away and leaving Josie alone there for the night...
Josie woke up slowly. Sitting up on the couch and looking down at the blanket over her. She yawned and stretched then looked across the room to see Lightning smoking near the kitchen sink. "Good morning." She greeted. Lightning looked at her and smiled. "Morning. Sleep well?" He asked. Josie shrugged. "Sorry about disappointing you last night. I'm just not a cheater." He explained. Josie nodded replying, "It's not for everyone. That's quite alright. Honestly, I'm proud of you. Most men do not have that much willpower." Lightning sighed and looked at the time. "I have to head to the track." "I'll get there later. Think I may relax in the tub." "Alright. Feel free to order whatever you like. My treat.." Lightning said with a smile. Josie thanked him then asked, "Can I come back over tonight?" Lightning started as he thought about that. "Um.. Sure." He agreed. Josie lit up hearing that. Lightning was a little confused. Why was Josie trying to stay with him so much lately?
"Is everything okay? With you?" He asked his ex. Josie nodded, "Yeah, why?" "Just curious. Kind of weird that you want to stay with me and not your husband." "I.. I just miss you. And I watched you die! Sort of... I mean I watched your life being drained, Lightning! It was the scariest thing that I have ever seen!" She shouted! Lightning sighed and could understand that being her reason for being clingy with him but not why she was teasing and pushing herself sexually on him. "Alright. Well, I guess I'll see you tonight." He said as he grabbed his things. Josie jumped up and ran over, hugging him and kissing the side of his face. "Good luck and be safe out there, Baby." Before she scurried off to the bathroom. Lightning shook his head. Confusing. Josie was confusing the man...
Lightning PUlled into the pits after finishing his practice run. Beefcake looked at him and smiled saying, "Great run, boss." LIghtning stared at the dude. This dude was huge! NOthing but veins and muscles. "What's your actual name?" LIghtning asked. The coach smiled and lent out his hand answering, "Devin." "Devin.." Lightning reached out and shook the man's hand. The grip in that man's hand! KInd of hurt. Devin let go of Lightning's hand and LIghtning faked a smile as he rubbed his wrist from slight pain. Devin noticed and apologized, "So sorry. Did I hurt you?" LIghtning lied a little, "NO, no.. Old racing injury.." He muttered as he didn't want to look weak and stupid up to such a.. Large... Man. He noticed women around the track were staring. Not at him, but his coach. Yikes. That was weird. Bobby walked over calling, "McQueen, wait up!" BObby came up and said, "I have everything worked out as long as you're ready for it. Got it all set up starting tomorrow night." "Starting?" LIghtning questioned. Bobby nodded. LIghtning shrugged and asked, "How long are we talking, Bobby?" Bobby chuckled, "One all-nighter after the race." : All night?" "Yeah, and I know you said you had to get your brother-in-law over here and I tried but he was too busy." "That's fine. I'm not sure Nathanial would enjoy it anyway."
Bobby then slowly looked up at Devin. Staring up at the tall man. "Wow. What laboratory did McQueen find you in?" Devin looked down with a smile answering, "I"m actually from Colorado." "Fuck. You are a giant!" Devin chuckled at that. "I mean it is like Goliath and an angel fucked up and had a baby. Why does it look so veiny?" Bobby asked as he stared at Devin's arms. Lightning whined, "Bobby..." BObby laughed! "I mean it! Don't let my wife see you, man. The-wait is it as big as the rest of you?" He asked. Lightning slapped his forehead and scolded, "inappropriate." Devin raised a finger and opened his mouth but Lightning snapped, "Don't answer that." Then pushed Bobby along and growled, "Stop being such a weird person in my pits." Bobby rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you alright with strippers?" LIghtning shrugged. Bobby slapped Lightning across the back and assured, "Not worries. Cal helped me with the border lining thing. I also made the plans and I'm picking up Rad-Chad after the race." "Chad? My brother?" Lightning asked. Bobby nodded. "Yeah. OH.. Did you not want me to invite him? I assumed that"-"NO, I did. I did. I'm just surprised you remembered." BObby snickered, "I'm not completely useless. Now, Cal already warned me. No drugs but.." Bobby looked around and stopped the two from walking further then unzipped his suit slightly revealing a bag of weed. Lightning quickly zipped Bobby's suit back up and scolded, "If you get caught with that we are both banned!" "Relax, man. OLe BObby here never gets caught."
Lightning glared and asked, "What about when Cal finds out." "Oh please. He is going to be high as shit by the time he realizes we hotboxed him." Lightning snickered with a smile. Kind of funny. Bobby patted Lightning on the back and pointed to the Dinico girls saying, "And I have a huge surprise for you at the party involving the thing that brought us together." Lightning stared at the dinico tent and raised a brow asking, "Dinico?" "The models, man!" "I"m pretty sure it was just racing that brought us together." Lightning corrected. Bobby rolled his eyes and corrected, "Technically it was more of Cal. But I meant girls! The one thing that you and I have in common other than racing, is women. Women love us and Dinico is what got you started with the ladies here, and that's how it's' gonna end before the old chain and ball. See ya tomorrow in the race." Bobby smiled then walked off towards his garage. Lightning glanced over at the models. It had been a long time since he first laid eyes on the sponsor Dinico. Wow.. He was getting older...
LIghtning returned to the suite. Finding Josie already there and on the couch watching some tv in a cute crop top, her hair in a bun, and yoga-like tights on. Active pants I guess. He shut the door and asked, "How was your day? I never saw you at the track." Josie looked over answering, "Yeah, I was there. I just had friends I was hanging out with." Lightning walked over and sat down on the couch next to her. Watching the tv with her. One game show was all it was. "After the race, I'll be with the boys." "Have fun." "And you?" "Oh. I'll head out. Back to Washington so that Jenson and I can look at more cottages in London." Lightning nodded. Watching the show a little. Josie scooted closer and leaned over onto Lightning's shoulder. "You smell like sweat." She griped. Lightning snickered. "Practicing can do that." He replied. Josie snickered. Still just watching tv together. Josie then placed her hand over his thigh. Rubbing closer to his inner thigh. Lightning glanced down at her hand. Watching her soft, smooth-skinned, delicate-looking hand go further inside his thigh. He sighed. Josie smiled and went all the way with it. Rubbing her hand in and resting it over his member and balls. Almost as if she were trying to cup them. So Lightning loved the attention that he was getting from his ex. This ex. If this were any other ex, he would be pushing them away. Cold and heartless. But Josie.. Josephine.. She was different. He looked at her face, her dark red, purple-covered lips.
Josie gazed into his eyes. Make sure to check out all of his facial features. Smiling as she stared at his lips. SMiling and then moving in. CLoser and closer slowly until her lips touched his. And once again, they began making out. Kissing with a passion. Josie rubbed her hand over his member and balls. UP and down, slight pressure. Making his member reveal its size in his jeans. Lightning moaned into her mouth. So Josie reached up and held his face in her hands. Making out with one of the sexiest men she had been with. One of. She had been with many sexy-looking figures in her career. Lightning broke the kiss, looking away and wiping his lips of the drooling that accumulated. "I'm going to shower." He announced as he got up. Josie smiled and shrugged. "I can join." She offered. Lightning snickered and shook his head before walking off. Josie sighed and leaned into the couch. Continuing her show on tv. Lightning stopped at the bathroom door and stared over at Josie who was paying him no attention now. Just staring at her. He did not want to sleep with her. But having a woman sowing that much interest and the way she kissed just brushed his ego in a way that Sally didn't do anymore...
With a time of 54.54, Lightning qualified for 15th.
Stage 1. Lightning lost traction and spun into the field. Ending stage one in 23rd.
Stage 2. Starts 40th due to a pitstop for tires. Lightning makes it to the final lap of the stage then slick tires spin him out and he winds up backward on the track. Gets hit head-on at low speed! He's fine, the car is a bit damaged. Needs to repair the car but has to do so in the third stage. Ends on the 17th.
Stage 3. Starts 17th. Bolt is overheating. Bolt barely makes it round track and into the pits. Repaired but he is behind by one lap and a half.
Catches up and finishes the 27th.
Lightning walked into his trailer after parking the Bolt in the garage. He set the helmet down then picked up his phone that he left inside the trailer during the race. Three texts. First one.
Sally
Great race, Stickers! Take it easy on yourself. You did really well.
Sally
Love you! Be safe at your bachelor party. Come back to me.
Josie
Chance, we can see each other before you go to your party?
Lightning sighed and stared at the time. He probably had a few before Bobby and Cal rushed over to grab him. SO he texted back.
Lightning
Yea. Can you meet me now?
...
... ...
Josie
Sure. Where?
Lightning
Garage. We both know where that is.
Josie
See you there! :)
Lightning changed out of his suit and into some jeans and long sleeve shirt that was sort of thin before making his way to the garage. Kind of hoping he wouldn't run into Cal or Bobby before he got to see Josie. He headed there and caught a glimpse of Josie waiting by the door. He smiled as he walked up to her, "Glad you didn't get lost." He joked. Josie laughed, "Well kind of hard to miss that giant ego of a number above." She teased, pointing to the large 95. Lightning chuckled then leaned on the brick wall and teased, "Just couldn't stay away, huh?" Josie rolled her eyes then opened his garage and ordered him to get inside. Lightning rolled his eyes with a smile on his face as he spun around and walked in. Josie is right behind him, closing and locking the door. Lightning instantly pushed her against the door and kissed her lips with heat and adrenaline!
Josie moaned and rubbed her hands over his firm chest. The two of them gasped and panted as they made out like animals. This time it was way more heated. HIs member pressed hard against her body. Josie spread her legs and let him grind his pelvis into hers. Josie managed to break the kiss and look up at the ceiling. Lightning kissing and suckling on her neck. Getting the scent of her into his nose. She smelled amazing! "OH.. Ohh.. Lightning.. Fuck.." She moaned in a breathy way. "I want you so bad.." She whimpered. Lightning kissed her collarbone. Grabbing her hips and pushing his body against hers. "I want you too." He husked. Josie then took the lead and grabbed his shoulders, Pushing him back then switching places! Pushing him against the wall beside the door!
Both panting as they stared into each other's eyes. Their chests heaving in a moment of silence. But then something caught Lightning's eye from across on the workbench. Across the room sat a bouquet of flowers in a nice vase and a card that read congrats o the engagement with an envelope next to it. He sighed. Closing his eyes and took a moment to gather himself. He opened his eyes and gently pushed Josie away as he whined, "I can't be doing this.. I don't.. I can't do this anymore.." "Any more?" Questioned Josie. Lightning frowned replying, "This thing.. Us.. I know we aren't actually doing anything, but.. IT's wrong. I love Sally and.. I don't love you like that. I can't keep risking things for something that I don't even want.. I'm sorry."
That kind of hurt hearing him word it like that. Josie nodded then assured, "We aren't sleeping together. I'm helping you relieve stress and it's us. It's our way of saying goodbye really. Plus, I can help make your honeymoon unforgettable for Sally. Because you, Baby, Have lost a little bit of your touch." She teased. Lightning snickered. Thinking. Josie then added, "Better me than some stranger, right?" Lightning started a moment before answering that with, "I don't know. A stranger might seem more meaningless." "I'm not going to go tell Sally about this. It's not that bad anyway, but I see that you are worried. I want you to be happy. Besides, I'm coming along to one more race." "One more? Already? Do you mean I can only see you one more time? Then that's it?" Lightning asked with a whine. Josie nodded.
Caressing the side of his face with her soft and warm hand. Lightning sighed, but before much else could be said or happened, a knock on the door interrupted them. Then Cal called out, "Hey, Light! I'm supposed to take you to the bar where we are meeting up. Bobby went to grab Chad." Lightning sighed then whispered, "Maybe if we are quiet, he'll go away." Josie only smiled, trying not to laugh. It seemed to work. Cal went on. Josie kissed his cheek then orders, "Go on. Enjoy your party. I'll see you next week. I'll leave after you." LIghtning nodded and thanked Josie for all the times they had been spending together and for being there for him when he was injured. "I'll text you." She added as Lightning left the garage to find Cal...
