A Crush That Became habit

Chapter 3

Why is this guy staring at me? Do I have something on my face? I look at the rare view mirror of the bike. Damn it! I had some remains of that lovely cheese cake at the corner of my lips. I move my hands fast and grab a tissue from my tiny black purse. Of course. I carry a purse that can hold a hand sanitizer, a tissue, water bottle, lipstick, a note book, my wallet, a extra pair of outfit. So yeah my tiny purse isn't so tiny at all. But that's not the point. Why is he still looking at me like I came from another planet? Uuuuhhh!!! I hate when people look at me in that way.

Silla's voice brings me back to a conversation which I did knew was happening in the moment. Yikes!! what did she said? Huh!! Yeah! yeah! Whatever. "Oh! I didn't expect that reply from you" silla says. "What?" I wiggle my eyebrows to her response. "You just agree to ride with dash". "Who is dash?" I narrowed my eyes at her. She pointed to that tall guy next to Kevin who was giving me a look.

Oh! So, his name is dash. Wait what? "When did I said that?".
"I just asked you and you probably said yes".
Shit did I??

"We are getting late let's get moving" she gave out a annoying sigh. And I know better then to annoy her any more. Silla didn't said another word and draged Kevin to his bike.

I followed dash to his bike and climbe it without any trouble. I Kept my arms around this stranger who was still looking at me from the rare view mirror. I looked away.
"You might want to grab me tighter. Race can be out of control sometimes"

dash spoked for the 1st time after we met. "Huh?, Race?". "My bike's name is race. She can be fast sometimes so hold me tightly".
"Oh! That's okey. I like speed".

I see shock in his eyes for a while and then his lips twist into a smirk. He then Brings race to life. She makes a loud sound. Which makes my neighbor Mrs. Brown look out of her balcony and by her looks, she didn't like that sound at all. But before she could utter a word we go past her house in a blink. He was not kidding about it being a fast bike. But I wasn't kidding about liking speed either. I put my hands up in the air. Playing with it out of habit. I like this feeling of flying.

Robert and I went everywhere on his bike. Robert is my ex. And realization of him leaving me hits me hard. He is gone. Certainly I start to cry. Thank lord I didn't had any make up on. Dash realizing that I've now started crying stopped the bike on a corner besides a park.

He took off his helmet. And turn his head, heading my face on his hands.
"What happen Devina? Was I too fast?".

He spoke to me like he would to a child whose candy just got snatched.

I on the other hand jerked his hands away. "I'm fine" I said in a grumpy voice.

"Whatever" he was annoyed, it was clear in his voice.

He drived race even faster. And next thing I know we were already on the venue.
