Crash and Crave

hxnry - night drive

"Can you drive faster? I don't think I am paying for your gas for this."

His hands on the wheel were shaking, trying to hamfistedly control the vehicle. It was fun to see that dickhead like that.

"Will you shut up Ki? If we both die your money will be completely wasted, think of it that way."

"Is this supposed to be the full side of the glass? What a ray of sunshine you are." I smiled brazenly.

"I don't know, I guess? Just shut that pretty mouth of yours. I need to stay focused as you can see."

I wrapped my arms around each other. Rolled my eyes ironically and said "And here I was thinking we could actually have fun. What a pity."

"Stop trying to provoke me you bastard, we can have fun later when I become a pro."

"Yeah, sure. I mean if you say so. " I replied with a smug face and shrugged.

He sent me his piercing gaze with his hazel eyes and I couldn't resist more.  He was a person you would define as "so fun to tease and becomes cute when he gets mad." Bro, what kind of bromance plotting am I?

I laughed "Okay okay, I will help you to adapt then we're going to leave this city in the dust"

But we've known each other since middle school so he is like an annoying brother to me.

Suddenly with the noise of honking horns and a David Guetta music, I was bewildered. When I turned my head to the right to see what was going on I saw a brunette girl who had a bob haircut screaming and singing along with the music like a wild animal. She had a line of cars behind her that constantly blew the honk.

"Damn, what kind of circus do they belong to?" I grimaced.

Evan laughed and raised one eyebrow at me "Oh come on, just a while ago didn't you want to be like them?"

"Well if we will look an underdeveloped animal like them I'll pass, thanks."

"And here I was thinking we could actually have fun." He imitated my words. "Are you jealous now cool boy?"

I made a face of disgust. "You make me cringe."

"Well, you make me more."

"Glad our feelings are mutual, honey."

"Maybe you should start real dating again, I guess you started to mistake me as one of your chicks."

I bit my lip "Mmm, a ginger with hazel eyes and pale skin? A real goddess. Maybe you should start thinking about switching genders, we would make money like crazy."

"I guess we are stuck with each other then, great" he muttered.

With a high-pitched voice, our little chit-chat with Ethan was over.

"You guys are so boring, why don't you upshift?"

"Why don't you just forge ahead?" I spoke in a tone of voice that made it clear I was disturbed by her.

"Because it's even more boring." She whined. Is she even old enough to drive? She looks like a brat.

"Well, it's not my problem so please continue your freak show a little further."

"I' 'd prefer more if you were a part of it."

"Do I look like a clown to you like you?"

"You'd make a cute one..." She raised her eyebrows as if she was really thinking about it "Even a hot one maybe."

"I think I look as hot as I can look the way I am. Not sure about cute though... " What the hell am I doing right now, flirting? No, I am just putting her in her place, right?

"Hmm, sure you are but I am craving for velocity right now. "

"Sorry to disappoint you but I don't think we are filming Fast and Furious so please go away."

"What a bummer!" she floored. I was relaxed with the fact that she finally gave up. What a chick! So tiring.

Ethan was starting to get nervous. I could feel every bump on the road in my ass.

"Hey Ethan, easy boy." Come on, I've just dealt with a crack-brained girl, and now Ethan?

"Stop trying to calm me like I am a dog."

"Sorry, can't help it when you look like a one. You'd make a nice golden."

I locked eyes with the warning on the screen to upshift.

"Dude, literally... Chill out. Or else my money will really go to waste." I don't know how I was still joking about the situation. Normally, yeah, I definitely would but this time I was feeling like it's gonna end up bad.

"This, that's what I'm talking about."  That crazy chick appeared again next to us.

Her brown eyes were glimmering with excitement and her cheeks began to turn crimson on her pale-skinned face, her wide smile with her glossy lips was accompanied by her other features nicely. It was like as if I was seeing her in slow-motion. Shit, are these really my last moments?

She was alone this time except for the guy in her passenger seat the 'honk gang' was gone.

"June, don't you think it's time to slow down?" his voice was soothing.

"But I don't want to." She talked in a playful tone and whined. Ew, what am I witnessing right now? Will she ever stop whining? So spoiled.

It started to feel like a race but I kept my composure. One of this bunch of clowns has to be sane.

"We can continue this on another day, I don't think you can think rationally right now." The passenger guy stated.

Cool, the sane person's number has doubled now, better than one I think.

"Ethan take a deep breath, come back to reality, and slow down. You got this, okay?" God, I feel like a midwife.

"OH MY GOD KIERAN I CAN'T, I KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I CAN'T FUNCTION!!"

I took a deep breath. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale Kieran.

"Hands off of the wheel." Eyes were wide open, mouth was about to drop to the floor, and he was frozen.

"I SAID HANDS OFF."

I put my hands on Ethan's and tried to steer to the right but I was too late to react. The last sound I heard was a big crash and honking horns along with the sirens.

Everything was so sudden about this story so I don't know what I am doing but I know at the same time. I think I got a nice plot if my words can reach you properly which is so important. I'm open to criticism. You can correct my mistakes especially if it's grammatical since English is not my first language.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading.
