Leandro Rosario (Book 5: A Mob Boss's son)

45. Home Coming (Part 3)

"Do you want us to change seats? Maybe you can try driving." Levane said.

He said "You are asking me? Really? But you have it covered. Besides I might crash us. I have never done go karting before."

She said "I can teach you. Are you upto the challenge Neuer?". She winked.  She stopped the vehicle. They swapped seats. She explained how things worked. Jacob quite enjoyed it after that point. She was quite the expert with go karting indeed.

They were busy going over the basic manoeuvres and how the vehicles worked they didnt notice the time went on fast.

Levane noticed the time as she looked at her watch "Oh no. Its time for the second group to come. We may get into trouble. Go slow and no matter what you do dont bump into anyone."

Jacob said "Do you want to swap seats?"

Levane said "I will guide you. Don't worry." Then a vehicle came from behind them. "Go to the left and slow down." 

Jacob panicked and went to the right and pressed the gas. Suddenly their vehicle bumped into the other one.

"Oh no. Thats Lochlan and Maria Angela." She said. She then shouted "Sorry Lochlan" as her brother slowed down to see who the culprits were hitting his vehicle.

Lochlan said as he was driving side to side "Tsk tsk. Jacob needs to watch it."

Just then Jacob swerved to the left and bumped into another vehicle. Levane looked at who they were "Arcangelo and Lavinia. Great. You will get us killed Jacob now." They heard Arcangelo who slowed down and levelled with them "Your road will get bumpier now."

As Arcangelo was going to swerve into their vehicle, Lochlan quickly reacted and got himself to the other side and bumped into Arcangelo from behind. He then sped up. Arcangelo sped up after him. 

Jacob and Levane watched them shout at each other as their vehicles were speeding and bumping into each other from the side. "Stay away from my sister." Lochlan said. 

"Tell your sister to drive next time then. You are lucky my sister is sitting with you Lochlan. Watch it."

As they were arguing other vehicles reached them and they got busy speeding. 

After Jacob and Levane crossed the finished line they found out Leandro and Jean had won the race followed closely by Nicandro, Lochlan and Arcangelo.

After go karting it was time to get some food.

Maria Angela was having a gelato ice cream as Lochlan was having a drink. They were sitting quite far away from the crowd or rather the crowd was sitting away from them. 

Maria Angela said "I have really enjoyed myself so far. How about you?"

Lochlan said "I always enjoy myself when I am with you. You should know that beautiful."

Maria Angela said " Of course. You love spending time with me so much that you have put me on meal times duty with you for an entire month in military school. How can I forget? All because I lost my badge."

Lochlan said "Spending time with me during meal times is not so bad beautiful. Or are you sad you cant spend time with your best friend Lavinia? Is that so?" He narrowed his eyes.

Maria Angela could sense jealousy in his voice. He was even jealous of girls. She sighed "Lochlan. She is my best friend. I like spending time with her at meal times. But you took that away for a whole month. You have a place with me and she has a place with me as a friend."
