Jackson storm x reader

Chapter 17

Your pov
I wake up early, I can hear Jackson in the bathroom already getting ready for the race. Reluctantly, I climb out of bed already feeling anxious about later.

*before the race*
I almost feel bad, the pit crew is in the position I was in just a few short months ago. Storm is snapping at virtually everyone. "Storm it's time for your test lap." Ray says. Said racer retorts with a "tsk" and an eye roll. I fear if any bad news comes to him he will lose his mind.

Truthfully I had been avoiding Storm before this race. I was in no mood for his temper. I wished him good luck only to be met with a "I don't need luck" from said racer. Looking past the snark in his voice there was a small blush tinting his cheeks.

If I don't win this race my career is basically ruined. That's not actually true, but I don't hav me time to think rationally.  I do have one thing on the line, which I have been keeping a secret. If I lose this race I lose my best pit crew member and girlfriend to that wretched Tim Treadless.

*three weeks ago*
"I've been on a hot streak, I can't lose!" Me and Ray had been out celebrating my latest victory. I look over as treadless takes a seat next to me at the bar. I love getting on my old teammates nerves. "Treadless! How was second place again?" I laugh as he scoffs. "Your not as fast as you think you are Storm, just you wait." This made me laugh even harder. "Wait for what?! Another easy victory? I think we all know who the better racer is" Treadless smirks, "then how about a bet? If you win the next Piston cup I'll admit you are better and step away from racing." I raised my eyebrow, "and what do you get if I, never in a million years, lose?" Treadless's smile only grows "I get (y/n) on my pit crew for the rest of my career." I some what lose my composure, " and what if they refuse ?" "We'll sign a contract before hand and agree on a price to hire her."

I shouldn't have went through with it but my pride and ego disagreed with my brain. "You're on!"

If I lose I have no way to apologize to (y/n), I'm a terrible boyfriend.

Present day
Sweat runs down my face as I wait for the countdown. I can see (y/n)'s smiling face, she really is something. I also see Treadless's smug smile. As the flag waves signaling the beginning of the race I know I have to win.

A/n:
This plot point is super out of the blue but I just forgot where this story was going tbh. I think Storm would let his ego do something like bet his partner. As crazy as it sounds, I honestly see him getting so caught up in the moment he just goes for it 💀
I would never forgive someone for doing that, but it's Jackson Storm lmao
