I haven't read this and I'm tired as all hell. School's a mess but here you go :)

I'll post the next chapter in a couple hours once I'm done with my classes.

Next to my beautiful white Lexus sat my pride and joy, my motorcycle.

"Yamaha FJR1300, a beauty," I said. The biker's gear was in a cabinet I had installed to put all of them in. Niall just whistled when he saw the motorcycle, running his hand over the leather.

"Wanna take her for a ride?" I asked, holding up two helmets. I had a second pair of everything because Benny loves to drive this beast and we go for rides together sometimes.

"Oh I don't trust you," he said.

"I've been riding for five years. I think I know how to drive," I chuckled, throwing the helmet to him.

"I'm not dressed for it," he made an excuse.

"You're fine. Stop making excuses and get on, mister," I said, throwing my leg over the bike. I pulled my gloves on before slipping the helmet on.

"I don't trust you a single bit Alexandria," He said apprehensively.

"Shh get on. You'll be fine," I said. He sighed before sitting behind now. He put his helmet on and held the back of the bike.

"If you don't want to fall you better hold on tight," I said.

"What am I supposed to hold?" Niall asked, struck with confusion. I grabbed both his hand from behind me and wrapped them around my waist. He locked his hand in front of me. His chest was pressed up to my back.

"Jesus Christ, you're so clueless," I shook my head.

"I've never been on a motorcycle, hush," he said. I chuckled and shoved the key into the ignition, firing up the bike. I kicked up the side stand and backed out of the parking space.

"Hold on," I said. His arms held on tighter. I could feel his head lying on my back and I really wanted to chuckle at how adorable this is.

"Are you scared?" I asked, setting my leg down so that I could talk for a second.

"Hah no," he said trying to sound confident.

"It's okay if you aren't. Would you be comfortable if I drove slower?" I asked.

"Uh no it's okay. You can drive as usual. I just don't know what to expect," he said.

"You'll love it, I promise," I said. He nodded and picked his head up. I started driving the bike, starting off slow just to get him used to it. I did this with Giovanna as well.

I finally reached the road and I couldn't go this slow so I had to pick some speed up.

"Look up!" I yelled over the wind whooshing around us. I could see his black helmet in my peripheral on my left side. I picked the speed up, the wind blowing at crazy speeds as I raced down the road.

"Woo!" I could hear Niall cheer, making me laugh. I was glad he could enjoy himself. I slowed down and turned into another road. It was a free road and was less used so I could speed down the road as fast as I wanted to go.

I don't break rules, I just bend them.

The current speed was at 170 and I was going at the usual speed I pumped it up to on a usual drive. One of Niall's hands unravelled from around me. Niall put his fist up, pumping the air. I understood him. Riding a motorcycle gave you this sense of freedom and a burst of a adrenaline. A feeling like no other. Like you're flying, soaring high above.
