A street racer and a cafe

Ch.50 night rider

(Disclaimer: I don't own Night Rider.)

*Royal's point of view*

Looking back, its been a while since Coconut and I spent any time together, well and one on one time anyway. I went looking for her and found her in her room, I knocked on the door so I wouldn't "interrupt anything".

"Come in." I heard from the other side.

I walked in and saw Coconut watching some old TV show. "What are you watching?" I asked.

"Night Rider, its actually a really good show." Coconut said

"Oh really, I only saw the new night rider movie, with the Mustang opposed to the fire bird." I said.

"I prefer the older show." Coconut replied.

"Any way, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go for a night ride tonight, just you and me." I said.

Coconut giggled. "As long as you don't start calling your Supra kitt." She smiled.

*later*

I sat in my car and waited for Coconut, she soon came down stairs, opened the passenger door and climbed in

"Hey." I said starting my car and pulling out onto the road.

"Evening." Coconut said resting her head on my shoulder as I drove, "you don't mind do you?" Coconut asked.

I smiled, "Of course not." I said

"You know, I was scared when I first got in your car, back when you first came here." Coconut stated.

"Why's that?" I asked.

"Well, like I told you when we met, I know a lot about cars, and I know what a I6 2JZ engine is capable of, especially with a big turbo like yours." Coconut said.

"Yeah, you've never been in my car when I floor it." I said.

We stopped at a red light. "You gonna be scared if I floor it?" I asked.

"Y-yeah." Coconut stuttered.

She's cute when she's nervous, it reminded me of the night she ran off after Azuki hit her, she really is a kitten at heart. My thoughts of my cute neko were obstructed with the sound of a down shifting V10 I looked over and saw a Ferrari F355 pull up next to us.

"Hey nice car, what's the retail on one of those?" I asked.

"More then you can afford pal, Ferrari."

He revs his engine trying to start a race, I wanted to but I didn't want to scare Coconut, plus we were on our first date in about a month, that was when she tapped my shoulder.

I turned my head and looked at her.

"Smoke him." She said tightening jer seat belt.

I placed one foot on the clutch pedal and the other on the gas pedal. Holding the clutch and gas pedals down waiting for the light to turn green, when it did I let off the clutch and pressed the gas pedal the rest of the way down. The 2JZ engine roared as we went forward and I soon shifted to second.

The F355 was dropping back, I shifted into third followed by the loud flutter of the turbo and the resounding roar of the 2JZ echoing off the surrounding buildings as I shifted to fourth and saw two little beady white dots that made up the F355's head lights in the distance. I hit the breaks and shifted back down to first and continued at a normal speed.

"How was that?" I asked Coconut.

"T-That was awesome." She responded.

"Still scared of my car?" I asked

"N-no." She stuttered, still shook.

"Good, its like when you started racing the hard parts not the driving its getting over the fear of your first time." I said.

"Oh, you mean like when I left you that bottle of-"

"Yes." I said, not wanting to be reminded.

We drive for a while and kept talking, we soon found ourselves back at the shop. Coconut lead me back to our room and we snuggled as it started raining. Coconut hugged me tighter every time a boom of thunder echoed. She whimpered in response to the loud thunder and lightning.

"Its ok Coconut, I'm here, and I always will be." I said petting her.

"I truly am a kitten at heart, I mean for christ sake I'm scared of thunder." Coconut said feeling ashamed.

"Its nothing to regret, I think your cute when you show your kitten side." I said.

Coconut smiled as a tear ran down her cheek. "You always know how to make me feel better about myself, I love you, Royal." She said as more tears fell.

"Hey, don't cry." I said wiping away her tears. "I love you too Coconut." I said.

We kissed and went back to snuggling.

"Goodnight Coconut." I said.

"Night Royal." She said
