1102 Words
For almost half an hour of watching a movie with Maddison and Levi downstairs, Skye decided to leave them and went up to her room. Although the movie was good, she can't still focus on watching, it seems that her mind was tired even though her body had enough of rest and sleep since yesterday. She turned the lights off and lay down. When she turned to her right, her eyes caught the picture of her mother. She paused for a moment. She realized the thought of her and what happened that night in the party temporarily left her mind this day. She appreciates Maddison's effort of talking to her and occupying her mind of something else to divert her thoughts from her mom. Including watching a late night movies. Although she was still a little emotionally unstable, she was still thankful about it all. Especially to the brunette that's invading her thoughts right now. She saw a glimpsed of her smile for the first time. She kept thinking about it as well as to what she offered to her earlier. After lunch... Skye looks like in a dazed as she stood on their yard and admiring the Mirror coated Matte spark black Kawasaki Ninja H2R in front of her. It's one of the most fastest morbike known in the world of racing with a top speed of four hundred kilometers per hour. She can't believed Violet owned it. Although there was nothing surprising about it's worth, which is twice of the price of her MV Augusta. Violet can afford it. She can't just grasp the information that the gorgeous and sophisticated woman like Violet had the same interest in sports like her. During their lunch, Violet invited her on a drag racing competition whiche will be held next town. At first, she thought Violet just happened to know that there will be a racing and she just suggested that if Skye wanted to join but it turns out that Violet was the one who joins the competition. She's the one to compete and Skye's can't hide her surprised face on that thought. And it's not even her first time joining the first competition. She also thought that if she joins, they will be competing to each other but they will be allies instead. Violet said that they change the mechanics of the said competition. This year, they wanted the racers to compete not just by themselves but with a companion. It's like a relay. The first racer will do three lapses of the three hundred twenty meters track lane and the second were four lapses. The latter will start as soon as the first one finishes it's lapses. It's been actually almost three months since her last drag racing and hearing the information , her body itched to join. But she didn't say yes right away. Even though the competition is good. She knew her mind was still unfocused. She can't compete on a race in that state of mind. But the competition is good though. The prize will be ten thousand dollars. If they won and she gets the half, she can pay the apartment rent for two months to extend her stay. It's enough time to find a new job and if she gets lucky to have a stable job and a better salary, she will stay on Dom's apartment as long as she wanted. She love the place and the landlady was nice to her too. "Isn't it gorgeous?" Skye startled from the voice. She turned around and there she saw Violet standing in the porch ,arms crossed. But she didn't get a reply from Skye. The latter just sighed and turn around to looked at Violet's bike again. It might be rude but her thoughts were consumed. She didn't know if she will join or not. She didn't have gears and suit to start with. All she had was her motorbike and her skills. "Have you decided?" Skye startled again she almost jumped. Violet was already on her side when she said it. She doesn't even noticed her and heard her approaching. She's like a silent gush of wind. Meanwhile, Violet got worried for a second to her. She saw how Skye's body twitched. She note to herself she won't scare her like that again. "I don't know. I don't have gears." Skye said in a soft voice. She really sound vulnerable. Violet miss the playful Skye. "I have. So don't worry about it." Violet replied to her with her usual cold tone. She wanted to be soft to her actually, but if she did, she might not stop herself to comfort her so she just act as her usual self to hide her urges. Skye sighed but she didn't responded. It's like her mind is somewhere else and Violet was worried she might said no. "If we won, you can have the money, no need to share it with me." Violet muttered and Skye's head automatically turned to her with a frown on her face. "No way, we will split it in half.....if, we won." Skye replied. Violet perked her eyebrow up on her and said. "So, does it mean you'll join?" Skye opened her mouth and closed it again. She didn't say yes though, she was just saying if they won, they'll share the prize. But yeah, it just meant she will join. "Maddison said you love to race. What's keeping you from joining?" Violet said with a little frown on her face. "Is it because you'll race with me?" She added. "No." Skye blurted out in an instant. "It's not like that.. it's just ... " Violet observed her and waited for her to continue but Skye seems to have a hard time to say what she was about to say. Her face was solemn and Violet already knew what is on her mind so she thought of teasing her. "It's just that you're shy because you have a crush on me." she muttered in a serious face but deep inside she wanted to blush on the thought. "You're the one who's having a huge crush on her. You're so addicted to her to be exact. " she said in her mind. Skye was stunned to what Violet said. She turned her face against her direction. She new she was blushing and she can't help. Well, it's true but it's not even the reason why. She didn't utter a word for a few seconds. "Am I cor-" "Okay, I'll join." Skye said abruptly cutting off Violet's sentence before she could say something more.
