62: Victory is his.
"you're not a bad guy Eli, you had no choice" Ace sighed. "don't blame yourself for it, Jones" He said. "thank you for everything, for taking care of my sister and everyone" he thanked.
"also, sorry because I'm gonna win" Eli started speeding up, leaving Ace speechless as he tried to catch up with his pace.
.
The match ended with Eli winning and so now it was Jia against Eli.
Jia observed her surroundings very well and turned swiftly at the turns that had to be taken on the tracks. And there caught up Eli who seemed to have do much energy, she couldn't help but imagine the magic, the wonders his lips would do against her's.
The thought occured and pink spread on her cheeks, her pace slowed down and the finishing line was up a minute ahead. "tough luck darling because I'm taking this victory" He yelled from way ahead of her and she was brought back from her fantasies to the real world.
He abruptly turned his bike and stopped his bicycle at the finishing line and intently watched Jia ride there. "sheeshhhh my bro is so cool he got the perks from me" Lisa flexed her non-existent biceps and declared Eli as the winner of the game.
. . .
After spending some time back at Jia's place, they decided to go to Eli's house. "I'll take a shower" Eli said as he made it inside to his room at his house he got back (Ace bought it back for him) the house he purchased while in the gang.
His parents and he had moved in to the house a day ago, giving Helen the other house.
Jia nodded as she sat down on his bed but then started exploring the room. The room was a little dimmed as the nightlight was on. The bed had black duvets and black pillows, a large window behind, with white curtains reaching low till it hit the floor. His clothes cupboard was also black, the soft fluffy white mat under her feet, tickling her toes.
The whole mansion was pretty and she giggled to herself as she remembered her first time there.
----------------> flashback <--------------------
"I'm in a mafia, darling, don't think of me as a normal person" he stopped driving as he reached the destination he drove to.
I got out of the car as per to his instruction and my eyes scanned the two story mansion like house infront of me. Hell..he's rich. He once again took hold of my wrist in his grasp and sauntered to his house.
Once we got in, he locked the front door and harshly slammed me against it, locking me between the closed door and his arms. For some reason, my heart fluttered.
His intensifying gaze made me uncomfortable and he was well aware of it. "you tell me, should I kill you?" Suddenly, he pressed a gun against my forehead making me yelp. "n-no"
A phone call had interrupted the moment and I sighed in relief that he backed away.
I slowly tried to unlock the door without making any noise but he had already seen me and stopped me from my foolishly idiotic attempt of escaping.
Once he was done attending to the phone call, he let go of me. "I'm sorry, Mrs Jia" he simply said. "I'll drop you back to your home" He told making me confused. "weren't you... gonna kill me?"
"I was just joking with you, I just got kinda mad when you said I was this Eli guy, I'm not him." He explained knowing very well that it was a dumb explanation but i fell for it.
The bathroom door opened revealing Eli. Eli came out with nothing but a towel hung loosely around his torso, his beautifully messy hair now damp, wet from the shower. "silly goose always checking me out" She heard him say and she huffed.
"you act like you don't check ME out ever" She snickered and he gazed at her, throwing the clothes in his hands to the bed. "so you do agree that you were checking me out hm?" He walked forward making her walk backwards.
Her back was now pressed against the wall, he smirked as he placed his hands on the wall, on either side of her. "you seemed pretty dazed in the race too, today, why? were you thinking of me?" Jia felt butterflies swimming in her stomach.
