Tom POV

9:00 PM

The engine of my car rumbles as we pull up to the starting line. I can tell Jade is nervous. She wanted to wear my clothes to the race, but I wanted to show her off. She reluctantly let me pick out an outfit for her. I chose a black long sleeved crop top and a pair of leather pants that fit tightly around her legs. She had done her makeup to match and fixed up her hair before we left.

She looks beautiful sitting in the seat next to me, my very own passenger princess. She picks at her fingers nervously, making them bleed slightly. I reach over for her hand, lacing her fingers into mine. I look at her, she's blushing again. How cute.

 We watch as the flag slut makes her way up to the starting line, raising her arms up. I side eye Jade, squeezing her hand gently. "You ready for your first race, love?" I ask with a smirk. She squeezes my hand back. "I guess so." she responds with a slight shake in her voice.

The flag girl's arms shoot down and we screech forward. Jade's grip on my hand tightens as we fly around the first turn, leaving the other guys in the dust.

I smile widely as I round the second turn. The finish line is coming up fast, I let off the gas and slow down slightly, coming in at first place. Bill, Georg and Gustav all pull up quickly after I step out of the car. I jog over to Jade's side and pull her out of her seat, excitedly lifting her up into a hug and spinning her around. She laughs as I gently place her back on her feet. God, I want to kiss her so much, but I know I shouldn't push it. 

I pull her into another hug, wrapping my arms around her torso. She eagerly wraps hers around my neck, holding the back of my head. "God, that was scary." she whispers in my ear. "You'll get used to it." I assure her, chuckling. Bill pats me on the shoulder as Gustav and Georg walk up with their girls. "Looks like you've found your good luck charm." He says, winking at Jade, making her giggle.

Allison runs up and steals Jade from me, asking her about her first race experience. I watch the four girls step off to the side, laughing as they talk. Bill looks over to me, with a huge grin. "She seems to be getting used to you." he says as he looks over to the girls. I nod as I watch them giggle to each other. "I hope so. I'd die for her." I respond shyly. My face drops as I look out into the crowd, spotting Jade's ex in the front row with a few other people, including Evelyn. Bill notices me staring. "What's up?" he asks. I point out into the sea of people to the one who disgusts me. "Remember him?" I ask through my teeth, motioning Georg and Gustav over. Bill nods, his brows furrow. "I want him dead." I sneer. They all nod in understanding.
