Let's Take A Little Ride

Chapter 36 ✔️

"Hey! Don't touch that, that's nothing to play with man." Tej said, scolding Roman.

"What's the problem?" Roman replied, holding the launcher gun thingy that Han brought back for Tej to play with.

"That's high-tensile titanium cable." Tej said.

"What does that mean?"

"That's what they use to anchor buildings and hold up bridges, stuff you know nothing about! See, now, their version - it works cool, but mine . . . masterpiece. See, I reversed the gears, torqued the motor and added this tank to the back." he said softly, revealing a small tank of NOS that wasn't there before.

"That makes it even sweeter." Roman said.

"It does but it's not dummy-proof." Tej siad.

"Man, I've been known to handle big guns. Relax." Roman replied.

"You've been known to handle that big ass head." Cara shouted.

"The disrespect is real, why you gotta be like that?" he asked.

"It's just the truth, not our fault that you can't handle it." I told him.

He kept messing with Tej's new toy and suddenly the spear launched out. Hitting the wall between Dom and Han, who looked up shocked as hell. I walked over to him and head slapped Roman after he put the launcher gun back in Tej's hands.

"You're an idiot, you know that right?" I told Roman.

"You're an idiot man." Cara chorused.

"Are you okay?" Cara and I said to the guys.

"No harm, no foul." Han replied, placing his hand on Cara's arm, making Gisele glare at them.

"Babe?" I asked, turning away from them.

"I'm fine, this idiot didn't hurt me." he said, pulling me into a hug.

"Dom, I did some checking and asked around. Got the location of a street race tonight." Han told us.

"Four speed Camaro SS big block. You like it?" Dom replied.

"Nice color." Han said.

"I knew you'd like it." I told him.

"That's why you bought this one, I'm a lucky man." he chuckled.

"Yes you are, be careful and . . . you might as well have some fun." I told him after a few seconds.

"Kay?"

"Go, to the race tonight. We've gotta try whatever we can to find her." I said.

"Are you sure?"

"Go, we'll have enough time to race when we go back home." I told him with a smile.

"Home . . . that sounds really good."

"We've gotta do this." I told him.

After spending some time with him and Han, I walked over to Cara who was sitting alone. I sat next to her and she laid down, putting her head in my lap. We both knew what was bothering her but neither one of us was going to say it.

"You'll be okay." I told her.

"I don't want to feel this anymore." she whispered.

"You can't tell your heart what to feel or who to feel it for C. With time you'll move on and find someone who appreciates you, you deserve the best. This isn't fair babe, I wish I could change it for you."

"That's the thing, I don't want someone else but the person I do want already belongs to someone else. How do you get over that?"

"You don't, trust me. You work your damndest to move on and if that doesn't work than it's time to confront the issue. Put your foot down C, tell him to let you go. I've seen how he looks at you and how he touches you, it doesn't help you in this predicament."
