Silent rebels

32. Rematch

This simple gesture touched my heart and mad a knot form in my  troat. I don't even know why this made me this emotional. Normally I would hate myself when something like this happened but with him I feel safe or my heart does.

Shawn rests his head on mine. Tears rolled down my cheeks,falling on to Shawn's bear chest.

His grip around my middle lessens and he pulls away keeping me at arm length,"That wasn't a bugger was it" he asked looking down at his chest,a small smile appearing on his lips.

I giggled at that and look down to the floor.

He putted his finger under my chin and lift it. He wiped my tears away,"Chin up princess or the crown slips" he whispered.
Pulling me to him again,he kissed me on the fore head.

"I don't know if you know but I'm a queen" I said to him,smiling.

"You cheated" Jacks voice comes from behind.

I turn around and look at Jack. Entering the gym," I could've beat you on a lawnmower that night."

"So you know I would've beat you,if I was in the top op my game" Jack said pointing to me and then to himself.

" not so fast snappy,I would've still won you" I said, looking at Shawn who looked amuses by our conversation.

"Rematch?" He asked with a mischiefs glint in his eyes.

"You're on" I said.

"Let make this interesting. Winner race against me" Shawn said from behind me.

"I'll set it up for tonight and full you guys in." Jack said.

Me and Shawn looked at each other knowing he's up to no good.

              ***************

"Are you sure this is the right place?" I asked Shawn.

He nodded his head,"this is the location Jack send me"

The field light switch on. All of our hands flew up to cover our eyes from the sharp light.

Jack came walking down the pavilion steps with a big black hat in one hand.

"I'm glad you guys made it. I started to think you guys, chickened out" he said looking at me and Shawn.

"You know we can't race on a football feet right" Shawn said.

"We're not gone ride bikes"

"What? We're gone ride lawnmowers? Oh darn left mine at home" I said, trying to fake disappointment

"Don't be so disappointed" Jacks bites back, " uncle Jack got you covered " Jack says in a baby voice while he point to something behind us.

On the edge of the field stood seven lawnmowers. We all just stared at them in amazement.

Jack broke the silence, " So I figured, why don't we see who'd beat who on a lawnmower but everyone gets a fair change and all of us can race. First everyone draws a key out of this hat then everyone  goes for a test drive just driving around for a two minutes. Then we line up and race. At first all seven of us. Then the three who won and then the last two standing in a sudden death match" he explained and clamped his hand together in the end.

"But who's gone be the referee?"
Neill asked.

Before me or Jack could answer two bikes stopped at the gates. The lights went off and everyone stared at the two people making their way over the field
