Chapter 10. Leasing

"Lennox."

The major came to a stop and turned. "Has Reynolds talked to you? About the Lamborghini?" I asked. He sighed, "is this about leasing the car?" He asked. "Please, Lennox. Reynolds said the car is from N.E.S.T. He found the papers of the car," I said, walking after him. "I know. You don't work for N.E.S.T," he said. "Sir, please... the car doesn't belong to anyone," I said. "It belongs to N.E.S.T so basically, it's my car," he said. "Can't I buy it then?" I asked. Lennox groaned. "Why is this so important, Skylar? Because it's a Lamborghini?" He asked. "Please, Lennox. How often are you going to drive in it?" I asked.

He ignored me. "What do I need to do? Please." He waved his hand and walked off. I sighed and stopped walking. "Great," I scowled. I turned and looked around to see if there was someone else I could bother with it. Sideswipe just rolled in and came to a stop. "You look frustrated," he said. I sat down on his hood. "I need your help."
"With what?" He asked. "Come with me." I gestured to him to follow me. Sideswipe parked and activated his holoform. "This car."

He crossed his arms. "It's a Lamborghini." I nodded. "It doesn't belong to anyone. I need this car." Sideswipe raised his brow. "Where do you need this car for? You got me," he said with a smirk. "I know...but it's a Lamborghini."
"Yeah, and it's the same alt-mode my brother had but... a black version," he said. "Sideswipe. If no one wants the car, why can't I borrow it?" I asked. The mech looked at the car again. "Come on... please?" I asked. "Well, I haven't seen you this excited before and if it pulls a smile on your face... I'll try to talk to Lennox," Sideswipe said after a brief silence. I let out a scream and hugged him. "Thank you, thank you."

"Hey! Listen."

He raised his hand. "No promises, okay?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah, alright. I promise." Sideswipe gave a small nod and turned around. "Will you be joining me tonight for dinner?" He asked. "Yeah, but I am not going to eat Spinach again. If that's on the menu we can better go out or whatever." Sideswipe turned. "We can do that anyway if you'd like." I nodded, "alright, let's do that."

((Sideswipe's P.O.V))

"Are you coming?"

She bit her lip. "I'll come in a sec," she said and turned back towards the Lamborghini. She's obsessed with this car. I haven't seen Skylar this excited before. I left the hanger and searched for Lennox. "Why are you being an aft?" I asked. "Excuse me?" Lennox asked. "You know what I am talking about. Come on, give her the damn car. I haven't seen her happy like this before," I said. Lennox crossed his arms. "Did she sent you?" I shook my head. "No. She's all over this car," I said. "Only because she sees Sunstreaker in this car. It's not healthy for her to get attached to a car. It's not an Autobot and it's not Sunstreaker."

"You know... maybe I'll just scan the car and change my alt-mode then." Lennox gave me a look. "You're not Sunstreaker," he stated. I crossed my arms. "Give me the keys. This doesn't have to be a problem," I said and held out my hand. "Two weeks is all she gets with this car," he grumbled. "You know she's not going to give up this car once she gets her hands on it. It's still from N.E.S.T, yes... but she can use it." Lennox was only to shake his head while reaching for the keys. "Don't make me regret this decision," he muttered and threw me the keys. "You won't."

I caught up with Skylar. She was in a good mood. At the restaurant, she was talking endlessly. I couldn't even say something. I raised my hand to silence her. "Don't you want to know what I have to say?" I asked. She shut her mouth and smiled. I grabbed the keys and shove them towards Skylar. "You owe me something." She snitched them off the table and got up, hugging me so tightly she nearly crushed me. "Okay, sweetspark. Please." She bombed me with kisses before she sat back down again. "Thank you."

I sighed. "Am I going to regret this?" I asked. "No, you won't regret it." I hummed. We ordered some food and had a good time. I am glad I was finally able to pull a smile on her face. It's the first time I didn't see her depressed. I had no idea a car could do so much and change her completely. "Hey, Sky... promise me one thing." She hummed and popped some food in her mouth. "Don't sneak out at nights to drive or take unnecessary risks, okay? This isn't an Autobot, it's a normal car," he warned. Skylar nodded. "Yeah, I know."

"I don't want you dead," I added. She shook her head. "Don't worry so much, okay? I will look after myself and the car. I don't want to crash it either," she said. "Where's this car coming from anyway?" I asked. "Honestly, Reynolds didn't tell me the details about this car, he was vague. I found this car three days ago and I wanted to know more. Who owned it and when I heard no one owned it, I thought, why not leasing it. It doesn't matter where this car is coming from." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Honestly, it makes curious. It's not a normal military vehicle and you have been talking about a black Lamborghini before... so..." I trailed off. "Well, maybe a soldier has been driving around in it or was on the way to the base. It doesn't matter honestly. Of course she didn't care about where this car is coming from. All she cared about was the brand and that it looks like Sunny, only a black version of his alt-mode then.
