Born Rider

Second Chance

It's been about 2 days since the night me and Jax hooked up. I decided to call him and see if he wanted to hang out. He answers immediately.

Jax: Hello?

Me: Hey. It's Angel.

Jax: I was wondering if you would ever call.

Me: Well, here I am. Are you free tonight?

Jax: Yeah. What's up?

Me: I wanted to take you up on that ride.

Jax: s**t! Really?!

Me: Yeah.

Jax: Yeah. I'll come by around 8pm.

Me: Ok. See ya tonight.

I hang up the phone and relax around the house until 8pm. Jax arrives on time. He parks his bike and knocks on the door. I open the door. He holds out a bouquet of flowers to me and I accept them.

Me: Thanks.

Jax: Your welcome. Ready?

Me: Yeah.

We head outside. We get in my car, and I drive us to a cliff that overlooks the city. When we arrive, I park the car and sit on the hood of the car. He gets out and joins me.

Me: Beautiful right?

Jax: It is. Crazy I've lived here my whole life and have never seen the city like this before.

Me: I like to come here a lot in my spare time. So, what's your drink of choice?

Jax: Hard stuff?

Me: Anything.

Jax: I guess vodka for the hard stuff and any kind of energy drink for my everyday drink. You?

Me: I'm a beer girl. Kind of a lightweight in that department and same for me on the energy drinks.

Jax: What's your favorite bike?

Me: Suzuki Katana. You?

Jax: Harley all the way.

Me: I can see that.

We keep talking about whatever comes to mind. Mostly bikes. Laughing the night away having fun back and forth banter and complimenting each other.

Jax: Here I was thinking this was just going to be another random hook up. But here I am chatting about bikes with a girl that rides like a pro.

Me: I'm a f*****g nerd. I'm nothing like I was that night. I'm just boring old Angel.

Jax: Your anything but normal. Your riding is badass and you look like a model while doing it.

Me: All I do is play games. Either on my phone, on my pc, or on my game system. I'm a hermit.

Jax: Hermit who's secretly a motorcycle goddess.

Me: Oh, shut up. You're like a f*****g celebrity.

Jax: Look I'm all muscle and no brains.

That makes me laugh. I'm really glad I decided to come out with him tonight. I run my fingers through his messy hair. I lean towards him.

Me: I think there's a peanut sized brain in there.

Jax: Shut up.

Me: Make me.

Jax: Make you what?

Me: Make me shut up.

He leans in and kisses me. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him deeper. When he finally pulls away, what comes out of his mouth ruined the whole night.

Jax: f**k this.

Me: f**k what?

Jax: This whole getting to know you bullshit.

Me: What's wrong with that?

Jax: Nothing wrong with it. It's just I'd rather be f*****g you than talking to you.

Me: Ok.

Jax: Just ok?

Me: Yep, let's go.

We get in the back of the car and go at it. Nothing special to it. Just a quick f**k. After we clean up, I drive us back to my place. He walks over to me to give me a goodbye kiss, but I turn away and it lands on my cheek. He looks at me confused.

Jax: I guess I'll see you.

Me: Maybe.

He gets on his bike and rides off. I go inside and throw myself onto the couch. He was so f*****g close. I was actually considering giving him a chance. But he just had to ruin it.

I wake up the next morning to a knock on my door. I make my way downstairs to find two of my overprotective brothers, Nate and Lyle. Lyle more chill but will f**k you up if you cross me or Kylie. Nate is the overprotective one and I mean OVERPROTECTIVE. They've been abroad the last 5 years. I hug them as soon as I see.

Me: Holy s**t! Your back?

Lyle: Yeah, business deal finally closed.

Me: Sounds like you're not good at your job if it took you 5 years to close the deal.

Nate: Shut up.

He throws his arm around my shoulder and ruffles my hair. They sit on the couch, and I head to the kitchen to get them some drinks.

Lyle: Where's Ky?

Me: Moved that in with mom and dad.

Lyle: Why?!

Me: We got in a fight over a guy.

Nate: A guy?

Me: Well, more she got mad that a guy she wanted to f**k was interested in me.

Lyle: Who is interested in my sisters?!

Me: Relax. I had a relapse and I raced the guy and beat him.

Nate: I thought you stopped racing.

Me: I did. But the way Kylie was fawning over this guy pissed me off and I made a poor judgement choice.

My brothers shake their head. They know of my racing past and use to support me. They were basically my managers. Nate speaks up.

Nate: So, are you racing again?

Me: No!

Nate: Why not? You were good.

Me: You know why I stopped!

Lyle: Angel it was 3 years ago. it's time to mov--.

Me: HE TOOK SOMETHING PRECIOUS FROM ME! HE HURT ME!

Nate: Sis! Calm down. We get it.

He stares daggers at Lyle. Lyle puts his head down.

Lyle: Sorry.

Nate: What this i***t meant was, you were great. We're home now and we can go back to managing you.

Me: No thanks.

Nate: Think about it. Please. It's in your blood.

Me: I said no.

Nate: Angel. Think about it.

Me: Fine.

I cross my arms. They both stand up and give me a kiss on the forehead. Nate ruffles my hair again.

Nate: Think about it.

Me: Fine. I will.

Nate: Later.

Me: Wait? You're leaving?

Lyle: We have to check on Ky too.

Me: Whatever.

Nate: Have you ever told Kylie about T--.

Me: No! She doesn't need to know!

Lyle: Maybe she can understand you b--.

Me: No!

He throws his hands up surrendering. He walks over to the door. Nate pulls me in for a final hug.

Me: Don't bring his ass back here.

Nate: I'll talk to him.

He kisses my forehead one more time before leaving. I wave them off and go sit back down on the couch. I get a text from Jax. I ignore it and start watching tv.
