Violet's hand twitched as she heard the gun fired starting the race but she still managed to steady her grip on the handbar. Many years have passed, but she still had the same reaction everytime she heard gunshots. She took a deep breath and ignored it. Instead, she focused on the game, most especially to her mate.
Skye was fast, but she was currently on third place after Jackson's partner and the guy in blue track suit who was leading now. There were total of eleven teams on the race so a third is not that bad. It was actually great compared to others.
She silently cheered for her girl. But she doesn't really mind if they lose though, because her sole purpose in joining the competition was to pull Skye out on her room and to what's troubling her mind. She's hoping it will turn out good.
"Shit." Skye muttered when one rider got ahead of her. Making her on the fourth place.
When she successfully maneuvered on the last corner she turned full acceleration when she finds an opening. She's back on the third place again after the first lap.
Her breathing was heavy as she tried to concentrate on the game. This wasn't the same as the street drag racing she always into with her friends. She needed to be mindful or else they might lose. Halfway to their second lap, one rider crashes on the side lane. Skye breath hitched, she's hoping she wouldn't ended like him. She doesn't have an idea if what happened to that guy but if that happens to her and she break a bone or wounded her self, Maddison will kill her.
She focused on her path despite the deafening sounds of engines and the noise from the crowd. Another two riders smashed to each other when they both took the turn. The rider behind Skye got hit from the collision and they all ended up hitting the barriers.
"Holy crap! That was close." Skye said in a heavy breathing.
Meanwhile, Violet wasn't taking her eyes off of her mate. She holds her breath for a second when the collision happened. She felt lucky that they didn't drag her mate with them or she might regret bringing her here.
They were only seven teams left on the track but Skye was still on the third. She can't passed through the two teams ahead, they're blocking her. After a minute or so, they have completed the second lap without difficulties. Only one lap left and Violet was ready to go.
"Go Skye! You can do it!" Piper shouted at the top of her lungs. She knew Skye won't hear her amongst the noise but she can't just stay still.
"Yeah! Beat their asses!" Seamus shouted after her. "But leave one ass to me! I'll take care of her! Yohoo!" He added, eyeing the another girl rider in a maroon track suit that is currently on fifth place. Eric and Dean chuckled at his antics while Vanessa was void of emotion. But she's worried for Skye though, as she silently watched her race.
As for Piper, she glared at his direction. "Pervert." She muttered before returning to cheer to her friend again.
Skye was almost on their last lap. She was a little desperate now to get ahead so she went faster and wish herself luck that she can passed through them. Lucky was on her side when she proceeded to second place five meters before they reached the finish line.
Violet drives faster as soon as Skye finishes her three lapses. She didn't miss a second when they reach the first corner. Turning her bike into full acceleration she got the lead now.
Beaming with smile, Skye just took off her helmet. She still catches her breath as she watches their close game. She felt proud watching Violet race. The brunette doesn't have just good looks, she also have talents and skills. She wondered what else she's good at. Her mind suddenly thought about something naughty but she was quick to erased it.
The first lap finishes smoothly with Violet still on the first place. Some riders wanted to get ahead of her but they couldn't get a chance, until one dared to. Jackson.
Skye almost forgot about him but there he was, grabbing her attention again and not in a nice way. She hated his guts.
Like the others, he tried get his luck. He selfishly cleared his path, not giving others a chance to get ahead of him. Two riders crashes consecutively because of what he did.
"Asshole." She uttered.
Second laps done and Violet was still leading. Skye's eyes never leaving the sight of her. She can't imagine how ecstatic she is right now seeing the woman she had a crush on, doing great on one of the thing she loves to do. She was standing still but her stomach was doing a summersaults and her heart beats faster it feels like she's still on the race. She's aware it's not a crush or a simple admiration anymore. It's more of a liking. She started to like her in a ways she least expected.
"Go Violet!" She cheered. A wide grin plastered on her face afterwards. She can't help it, she's too happy.
Violet is almost on her third lap. Skye prepared her voice when she's about a seven meters to the line.
"Go Violet!" She repeatedly shouted as loud as she could when Violet passed, finishing the third laps and now on her final.
The brunette had a big smile on her face hearing the girl cheering her. She's doing her best now but she still did the best that she could.
While she's enjoying the little encouragement she gets from her girl, a soon to be Alpha was displeased witnessing them. Jackson was fuming. Jealousy sipped through his core seeing the girl she fancy cheering someone.
Anger consumed him that he started to get faster. He managed to get closer behind Violet's bike. The latter sense him so she tried to drive as fast as she could. But every she gets fast, Jackson will get faster. She almost got stumbled when he got closer to her. But fortunately, she managed to balance.
"What the hell. What's the matter with him?" Skye asked particularly to no one. They were halfway through the last lap but Jackson was doing a stupid thing that he can't obviously gain something.
Skye can't do anything but to trust Violet on this. Few meters on the finish line, Jackson attempted to get closer to her again, so close that he might hit her but instead, Violet lessen her speed for a second or two and turned her motobike a little on the side which causing the back of her tire hitting the front tire of Jackson. Both of their bikes wobbled over but Violet managed to get steady while Jackson eventually crashes on the barriers. Skye gets shocked on what Violet did. Though she can't help but laugh at what happened. Jackson deserved what he gets.
Violet finally reached the finish line and the crowds cheered. They won the game. She run towards where Violet stops with a wide smile on her face. Violet got off the bike and took her helmet. When she turned around, a bone crashing hug greeted her.
"We won! We won!" Skye happily said. Violet hands stay still on her sides, she didn't expected the hug so she was still in shocked.
Skye pulled away a little and faced her. "You're the best! We won!" She shouted enthusiastically like a child while doing some little jumps before she hug her again tightly.
A smile slowly appeared on Violet's face as she returned the embrace. As she close her eyes, she inhaled Skye's comforting scent and feel the warmth of her body. She suddenly can't hear the noise around them anymore as she enjoys the best prize she got now.
