Chapter 2: Drift?

Han is terrible at picking Nadia's opponents. She won by a landslide. Not even worth it. Nadia entered the right level of the garage as her engine roared throughout the garage and all eyes were on her. She sped and parked next to Neela's car and turned off her engine. Earl opened the hood of her car as she opened her door and got out. Nadia then slammed her door and threw her keys to Earl who caught them easily.

"Han sucks!" Nadia loudly exclaimed. She marched over to Han and DK's Takashi. Takashi glanced at Han with amusement written all over his face. Nadia stood in front of Han and held out her hand. Han dug into his pocket and handed a roll of cash. Her winnings for tonight. She gave Han a tight smile and turned on her heels and walked away.

"Pleasure doing business." Han told her with a grin.

"Bite me, Han!" Nadia shouted over her shoulder and walked back over to Earl and Reiko. What didn't really surprise her was Neela talking to the new guy Sean. More like flirting with him. In return, Takashi isn't going to like this, but that's not her problem. "How is she, Earl?" She asked him.

"She's all good. Nothing seems to be wrong or out of place." Earl praised. Nadia smirked.

"That's because I know how to race unlike some people." She said knowing Neela heard her. Earl gave her keys and walked back over to his van. Nadia turned back to her car and shut the hood of her car. She then went to sit on the hood of her car and watched Earl and Reiko be the best mechanics. She felt someone stand next to her purple and black EVO and knew exactly who it is. "Take a picture. It will last long." Nadia startled Sean and looked at him. She could feel his stare roam her up and down. She had that affect on guys, but she is not shallow like Neela.

"I'm guessing you won." Sean said. Nadia rolled her eyes and let out a loud scoff.

"He wasn't much of a challenge. Han sucks at picking my opponents." She told him. Sean chuckled with a smile and started to move closer to her. She glanced at him. "I didn't recognize you without the school uniform and your slippers." She said. He grinned at her.

"Don't you mean uwabaki?" Nadia lightly scoffed and felt the corner of her lips twitched upwards. "Nadia, right?"

"You're quick learner." Nadia then spied Neela sauntering over to them. She lost her smile and rolled her eyes. Sean glanced over his shoulder to look at Neela. Nadia pushed herself off the hood of her car. "You should be careful." She told Sean. "Girls like her always bring trouble to those who are good." Nadia turned to walk away, but Sean grabbed her wrist. She turned around and saw how close they are. Their chests are merely inches away from touching.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked in a low tone.

"What I mean is that things are different from where you come from." She told him. Sean then made a bold move by putting his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"So, where did you come from?" He asked her.

"Does it really matter." They both stare into each other eyes not realizing Takashi and Han and Takashi's crew walked over to them.

"Hey!" Nadia and Sean looked over and saw Takashi and his crew approach them. Twinkie rushed to them and squeezed in between them.

"He was just leaving." Twinkie said. Nadia looked at Twinkie then back at Takashi. He has a grin on his lips and pulled Neela in his arms and wrapped them around her waist. Nadia rolled her eyes and scoffed in disgust.

"I'm sorry. I don't speak Japanese." Sean told Takashi as Han looked at Sean with interests. Nadia moved herself away from Sean and Twinkie and went to sit with Han on the hood of Neela's car. Takashi gave a soft kiss on Neela's cheek. She shifted uncomfortably in Takashi's arm.
