Born Rider

Ride

I wake up with a text from Jax. The race was going to be downtown at 9pm tonight. I set a reminder. I text Kylie, Nate, and Lyle to see if they wanted to go. They were down so we all agreed to meet up around 8 and drive over together. I spent the day deciding on and outfit. I ended up settling on a pair of blue denim, and an anime graphic tee. I end up just lounging around the house all day playing video games and downing energy drinks until it's almost time. Thirty minutes before the show up I go take a shower and change. Just as I finished getting dressed my phone rings.

Me: Sup?

Kylie: Get your ass out here.

Me: I'm coming. I just have to dry my hair.

Kylie: No time! These idiots didn't gas up the car, so we have to make a pit stop.

Me: I swear they do things on purpose.

I look at the time and see that it's fifteen minutes after eight. I grab my phone, wallet and keys and head out to the car. I see Lyle in the drive seat. I look and its only 40 minutes until the race starts.

Me: MOVE!

Lyle: I'm driving.

Me: You drive like Miss f*****g Daisy. I will not be late to my boyfriend's race because of your f**k up.

Lyle: We won--

Nate: Get in the back Lyle.

Lyle: Bu--

Nate: I said get in the back.

Lyle gets out the car and into the seat behind me. Nate smiles at me and I don't know why. I shift the car from park to drive. I put my foot to the gas. We're flying down the street to the nearest gas station.

Kylie: Oh my God! Slow down!

Me: Not a chance!

Lyle: Nate stop her!

Nate: No! She's coming back! Angel drive!

Arriving to the traffic light, it was turning yellow. I make a sharp left turn making Lyle slides in the seat, causing him to smoosh Kylie. I push the car more. I look at the speedometer and it's at 80mph. It feels good. I speed into the gas station before slamming on breaks at the pump. Kylie and Lyle hit their heads on the back of the seats. Nate slams his hand on the dashboard.

Nate: Yes! There she f*****g is! Our Angel!

Me: Lyle go pay!

Kylie: I'll go. I need an icepack after that.

I pop the gas tank lever in the car and get out. Nate runs over to me pulling me in a hug and swings me around. He pulls back then looks at me again.

Nate: Our little biker is still in there!

Me: That did feel amazing.

Nate: Sis, it's still in your blood. We'll manage you again. You just have to want to do it. Please?!

Me: Yeah. f**k it. Let's do it.

Nate: Your gonna race again?!

I nod. He pulls me into an even tighter hug. I see Kylie come out and start pumping the gas. I check my phone for the time. We had exactly twenty-five minutes to get to the race and downtown was at least another twenty minutes away. The gas meter stops pumping. I screw the cap back on hop in the car. I wanted to see him before the race.

Me: Put your seatbelts on.

I start hearing the clicks. I throw the car in drive again and peel out of the gas station and hit the interstate. We manage to get to the race with ten minutes to spare. I rush out the car, slamming the car door. I look around for Jax. I spot him on his bike at the starting line surrounded by groupies. I run over to him. He stands up and starts walking over to me.

Jax: Thought you changed your mind.

Me: Not a chance.

One of the girls that was by him earlier comes bouncing over grabbing his arm. She swings her hair and looks at me. Kylie comes up behind me and rests her head on my shoulder eyeballing the blonde.

Girl: Who's this? Another fangirl?

Me: I'm hi--

Kylie: You're cute.

Girl: Thanks!

Kylie: You like being cute?

Girl: It's great. Guys can't resist.

Kylie: Well, if you wanna stay cute, I suggest you take your hands off him.

Girl: What?

Kylie: Let be clearer to a ditz like you. Get your hands off my sister's boyfriend or there won't be enough reconstructive surgery to fix what we'll do to you.

Kylie jumps at her and the girl shrieks. She removes herself from Jax and we start laughing. I look at Jax.

Me: So, we let skanks hang on us? Not a good start for us Jackson.

Jax: It won't happen again. Let's settle this now.

He walks me over to his bike and sits down on it. He looks at his watch. He grabs my hips and pulls me close.

Jax: I have about eight minutes.

Me: To do what?

He starts kissing me. I kiss him back. It's as if we're claiming each other in front of everyone here. He checks his watch then pulls back.

Jax: If only I didn't have to race.

Me: Oh, shut up. You got this.

I lean in and give him one more kiss. As I walk off to join my family, He gives my ass a gentle smack. I look back to see him biting his lip. I can't help but laugh. I meet back up with my family and Nate throws his arm over my shoulder. Jax stands up throwing his leg over his bike and starts it up. He shoots me a quick smile before putting his helmet on and revving his engine. He takes off. I watch with my eyes glued on him. I see the other bikers but looks like only one is really giving him a run for his money. In the end it didn't matter cause Jax won. We run up to him. He hops off his bike and takes his helmet off.

Me: You did great!

Jax: Had my good luck charm with me.

Nate: Nice race.

They all pat him on the back. He pulls me against him and kisses me. The sound of a slow clap approaches us.

Voice: What do we have here? "BG" Alvarez in the flesh.

There are a lot of voices I never want to hear again and he's one of them. I turn around to find one of my ex. I let out a loud sigh and roll my eyes resting my head on Jax's shoulder.

Jax: Who's this?

Me: The second dumbest ex I've ever had, Xavier.

Xavier: Best lover too.

He winks at me and it makes me roll my eyes even more. More like shortest lover.

Lyle: Isn't this the minute man?

Me: Yeah!

I can see this face turning red with anger and I find it amusing. He scoffs.

Xavier: See you had to find a new play toy.

Me: No, I think this will be a lot more serious than us.

Jax: What happened?

Me: Multiple reason. Where should I start? Tried smuggling drugs on a plane then blamed me. Tried to get me to let him and his friends gangbang me. Stole thousands of dollars from me to go to Vegas for hookers. Got caught cheating and said it was his twin when he doesn't have any siblings. And the cake topper is he couldn't last in bed longer than three minutes. Did I forget anything?

Kylie: Tried have a three way with me and you.

Lyle: Still lives with his mom.

Nate: He's not sponsored.

I look back at him. I wrap my arm around Jax's neck. He walks up on me and Jax, Lyle, and Nate stand in front of me shielding me from him.

Jax: Back away from my girl.

He stares each of them down before his eyes land on me. He laughs and runs a hand through his hair.

Xavier: This is why we didn't work out. Your f*****g family is a problem bit--.

Jax punches him in the face before he can even finish the sentence. Xavier stumbles back and a trail of blood runs out his nose.

Jax: Watch what you say about her!

Lyle walks over and pushes him down and starts kicking him. I grab Lyle's arm and pull him back.

Me: He's not worth you getting in trouble. Let's just go. Meet back at my place.

They head back to the car. Jax grabbed my hand and pulls me towards the back of his bike and I hop on. We ride off heading back to my place.
