Late night drives

XVIII : Crash

What just happened? I barely had time to see the silhouette of the car in my rearview mirror. The shock shook my entire body. I couldn't maintain control of the steering wheel. My trajectory has been suddenly swerved and I hit my forehead against the steering wheel. They are fucking sick in the head! I try to press the accelerator in vain. I don't see any other car near me.
Where did they all go? Once I turn around I see smoke a little further. People are rushing towards the place where the smoke rises. What is happening? I don't even have time to think when I hear a knock on my door. I enter and open the door. Him. NO. I had to bang my head too hard to have such hallucinations. He held out his hand to get me out of the car. I could hardly stand up. I was holding my head clenching my teeth it looked like someone was trying to knock me out with a club.

A little later Silver joins us, he told us that they had canceled this match because of the accident. It appears to be a planned hit. Would a specific person be targeted? Silver hands me a cold can of beer. I stick it to my temple to reduce the pain although it doesn't help much. I take a look around some are in a worse state than me, I'm not going to complain. Two or three had passed in front of us bleeding, their car was completely damaged. Mine was too. Its rear tire was punctured and the bodywork had to be redone entirely I was sent against a wall with such force. I can't afford such expensive repairs. Now it's not a time to think too much anyway. I could hardly finish my sentence and as soon as I did I started to have a strange feeling. It was like I was wavering. I am dizzy and it's almost like I'm going to fall asleep. Fortunately, I have time to lean on something or someone before I completely collapse.

A bit later.

I struggle to open my eyes because my eyelids are still heavy. My migraine is gradually coming back much more intense than before. I take a look around me. this room is strangely familiar to me, yet it is not mine or Ricky's. even if it could be mistaken. Because of the same obsession for fast and furious, posters were placed everywhere, mini collectible cars were carefully arranged on a large wooden shelf. I try to gently get out of the sheets but it's far too difficult. At the same time, I hear a creaking of the door which does not take long to open I perceive a blond head that enters. What is Silver doing here? Are we at his house? Although I doubt he has such cheesy tastes. He politely asked how I feel.

" Better. "

A violent headache punishes me for lying. He approaches me putting one head on my forehead to take my temperature. He says I am burning with fever even though I am doing fine. Well, once this migraine is over, I'll be perfectly fine. He asks me to wait for him patiently while he takes a compress. I nod my head in approval.
I look for my phone in my pocket. I have several messages and a few missed calls. last, on the list, Ash asks me if everything is fine I answer him vaguely that yes I went home. The same answer for Joshua although he was less gullible. He asked why doesn't see any light on in my room. Sometimes being in a neighborhood with close friends isn't easy. I have to try harder to convince him. I told him that I was exhausted and that I was sleeping-which is not entirely false.

A few minutes later Silver re-enters the room, bringing a wipe soaked in water. but this time he is not alone Kim is behind him. Always with that impassive air that only he has the gift of. He was holding a bottle of water and an empty glass each in one hand, and he waits patiently for Silver's instructions. He approaches me and dabs my forehead with the very cold linen. I am forced to take off my shirt which is now soaked, I don't want to catch a cold in addition to the fever. Silver finally turns around and tells him to take his place. He widens his eyes in surprise, he's just as confused as me.

Hopefully, he doesn't make a scene and just does as he was told obediently. When he finally approaches me, I had already put on the jersey that Silver had given me. The jersey had a slight smell of perfume which was not unpleasant at all. I should ask him what perfume he uses before I leave. Ah yes, I have to get out of here. I almost forgot this bed is so comfortable. The silence is heavy, neither of us are talking. Even if I ZM trying my best to fond a subject to bring to this non existent conversation. My eyes wandered the again searching domething to comment on but in vain. I lightly pat the bedspread slighly annoyed.

" Congratulations you're the only person to have slept twice in my bed."

"Is it something I should be proud of? "

He shrugs his shoulders casually. His touch was surprisingly gentle when he dabbed my forehead. He hardly dared press the compress. I have trouble recognizing who is standing in front of me. Is it him? I sigh. It's going to be harder than I thought...

"You act like you never touched me."
He stays silent and looks at me for a long time.

" Maybe, but we don't know each other."

Sorry, what? He's laughing at me. I'm about to answer him but I hold back at the last moment saving what little dignity I have left.

"Right we fucked once doesn't mean we're buddies now." Does it?

Thank you for reading !!!

Serie A is much more dangerous than he could even think of. The risk level is way higher. They really go all out. Winning at all cost. Even if it means to put everyone in danger. Matthew is still under the shock of how fast everything happened. His car is off-service as for now. How could he continue the race without a car? This will certainly put his  goal at risk.

But fortunately his life is safe. Thank to Kim-out of all people. Now he is slowly recovering at Kim's house as we might learn more about the story between these two. What exactly happened? How did they meet each other? And why does Matthew doesn't look very enthusiastic and thankful after he saved him?
So many questions... we hope we get answers soon.

Ps: There's two chapters this weekend. Make sure to check out both.

I am looking forward to reading your comments.

See you next week.
