Pole Position

  Jet

  ****

  I couldn’t believe how Jerod was being around Chassis, him and I had agreed a handful of times to share our girlfriends a time or two. After Megan fucked him without me being there I made the decision that I’d never let it happen again, sharing Chassis was out of the question for damn sure. I had only loved one other woman as much as I love Chassis…Riley Reagen, we dated all through high school, until our senior year, everything changed.

  After a party one night we went back to my house, we made love almost all night long, six weeks later she found out she was pregnant. When she told her parents, they flipped out. Her dad was the pastor at a local church and her mom was a third grade teacher at the local school. They gave her two choices, either have an abortion or move to California with her aunt and uncle and cut all contact with me. She chose to move away and has never contacted me since the day before she left.

  “Jet? Hello Jet?” Chassis interrupted my thoughts.

  “What?” I snapped.

  She looked at me, “Why would you ever share a woman with your cousin that makes her look like a slut and makes you two look kind of…odd.” She said.

  “Some women like two men, I thought I could trust Megan and it was just fun, trust me Jerod and I never got friendly. It was just a wham bam thank you mam type situation.” I told her. She shook her head and started reading on her Kindle again.

  My cell phone rang with an unavailable number, I normally wouldn’t answer if the number didn’t show up but since we were out of our normal service area I went ahead and answered. The voice that greeted me on the other end literally sucked all the air out of my lungs.

  “Hello Jet?” I heard Riley’s soft voice.

  “Uhh yeah?” I asked as my heart rate sped up. I glanced over at Chassis, what are the fucking odds that I had just thought about Riley and she called out of the blue. “It’s uh Riley…I..”

  “What do you want?” I asked more harshly than I probably should have.

  I heard Riley take a deep breath in then blow it out, “I was told you’re going to Super Nationals, I want us to try and talk when you get a chance…PLEASE Jet?” she asked with a shaky voice. I sat there shaking my head, “Are you there? Hello?” Riley said.

  I walked to the back of the car, “Why the fuck are you calling NOW?” I asked.

  “Oh Jet, I have so much to tell you..”

  “Like what I have a son or a daughter?”

  “Do you really want me to tell you that over the phone?”

  “I would have rather found out about three fucking years ago.”

  “A boy, I gave birth to a healthy eight pound baby boy on May third, two thousand ten, Jet. I didn’t keep him though…I gave him up for adoption.”

  “And you’re just now telling me, that’s pretty nice of you.” I snapped.

  “Jet, I wanted to call you, I did, but I couldn’t. My aunt and uncle had me on such a tight leash I was allowed to go to school and home.” She told me.

  “You couldn’t take the five fucking minutes?” I asked with a chuckle.

  “Jet please don’t be like this, I’ve wanted to call you…”

  “You’ve wanted to call me for the last three years but just couldn’t find a phone after you left for college huh?” I interrupted her.

  “Jet, after the new family left the hospital with him I threw myself into school, went to college and got modeling job. I’ve been traveling nonstop for two and a half years.”

  “But you still couldn’t call? My number has never changed.” I said.

  “I did call your mom a couple of times, but obviously she never relayed the message.” She snapped.

  I leaned against my car shaking my head, “I’m with somebody else..”

  “You know that you’ll never love her and that she’ll never love you like we loved each other. So I will catch up with you at Boone so we can talk okay?”

  “Uh no, really it’s not okay. I don’t have anything to say to you.”

  Jerod came and leaned against the car giving me a questioning look.

  “Well, I know you won’t ignore me Jet, you’re not like that, you never have been.” She said.

  “I’ve gotta go, take care.” I said then hung up.

  Jerod raised an eyebrow at me, “Who the hell was that?” he asked.

  I shook my head and chuckled, “Fucking Riley.” I said.

  His eyes got big, he looked past my shoulder at Chassis then back at me.

  “Uhh…what did she want? Child support?” He asked.

  “Nope, she had a baby boy and gave him up for adoption. She’s going to be at Boone and wants to catch up.” I told him.

  “Wait, she gave him up for adoption without your consent? Is that legal? Man you talking to her, that would be a big mistake, you’ve never really gotten over her. You’ve got it good with Chassis.” He told me.

  “You think I don’t fucking know that? Just drop it!” I snapped at him then went back over to where Chassis was laying on the bed.

  The rest of the drive to Boone, was uneventful, Chassis read on her Kindle, Jerod was texting on his phone and I looked over the preregistration list of modified’s online.

  Once we got to the track, Cameron was waiting in the pit area for us with the spare car. We pulled the rig in to the pit stall right next to where his enclosed trailer was parked. After we were all out of the semi, we walked with Cameron to where the R.V. was that he had brought for us to stay in so we didn’t have to all sleep in the living quarters and the sleeper of the semi.

  The R.V. was massive and had enough places for all of us to sleep, “I think I’ll sleep in the living quarters of the trailer though.” Jason told us.

  “Now why would you do that?” Cameron asked.

  Jason laughed, “Because I’m not going to listen to these two or those two, (he pointed at Asher and Mitch then at Chassis and I) ,go at it all night long.”

  Cameron shook his head and laughed, “Some things I wish I would never have asked why.”

  Asher and Chassis went back to the trailer to get their luggage, Cameron was talking to Mitch about football.

  “Tell Jason who called you.” Jerod said as he leaned against the counter.

  I rolled my eyes, “None of his business is it?” I said. Jason raised an eyebrow waiting for me to tell him. I rolled my eyes, “Riley” is all I said.

  His eyes got big, “What the fuck! Why?” he asked in shock.

  I shrugged my shoulders, “She said she’s going to be here and wants to talk to me.”

  Jerod and Jason both stood there shaking their heads, “That’ll be the dumbest fucking thing ever Jet, she pretty much said the hell with you and left.” Jason told me.

  “You think I don’t know that? Christ, I told her I’m with Chass.” I said while trying not to yell.

  “Just keep your fucking head in the game of racing not the game of chasing pussy the whole time we are here. It’s a waste of time and money for all of us if you can’t keep your head on straight.” Jason told me then walked out of the RV to where Cameron and Mitch were talking.

  We told Cameron we would let him know when I raced, he was beyond excited, “Jet I’ve been keeping an eye on you, you and Jerod race each other like everybody should. You race others the way you want to be raced.” He told me. We shook hands and left to go look at the track.

  “So, when are you supposed to meet up with the oh so great Riley?” Jason asked.

  I glared at him, “I didn’t agree to meet up with her, I don’t have much to say to her.” I told him.

  He nodded his head, “Well, keep that in mind when she’s trying to climb all over you. Don’t forget you have a girlfriend here with you, she doesn’t need to see that kind of shit.”

  “Jesus Christ will you just drop it, FUCK, I know Chassis is here.” I looked up to see Chassis and Asher walking towards us.

  “Where’d you two run off to?” I asked Chassis. And slipped my hand around he
r waist.

  “Just looking around, what are you guys doing?”

  “We are going up on the catwalk, you want to go?” I asked.

  “Sure.” She said with a big smile. We went back to the RV so they could put their luggage in it, then made our way to the catwalk.

  The catwalk was pretty impressive, it stretches from turn one and goes all the way around the outside of the three eighths mile dirt track to turn three.

  Chassis and Asher both gasped, “It’s so big!” Chassis said.

  I raised an eyebrow at her and grinned, “That’s what she said.” I told her with a laugh.

  “The catwalk!” She replied as she started walking away from us.

  I caught up with her, she leaned her elbows on the rail, “This place is awesome, I can’t wait to watch you.”

  I stood behind her, placed my hands on the rail beside her caging her in, “It’s one hell of an adrenaline rush.”

  “My dad would have had so much fun here.”

  “Your dad would have dominated this track no doubt.” I told her then leaned down and kissed her neck.

  She smiled, “I hope you dominate this week.”

  “I’m going to try my best.” I told her.

  “Everything okay with you and Jerod now?” she asked.

  I nodded my head, “Yeah, it was just stupid shit.”

  “I just don’t want you to have something bugging you while you’re racing, it’s a proven fact it takes time off of your reaction time.” She told me.

  I turned her around in my arms, cradled her face in my hands, “We are fine, okay.” I said. She placed her hands on my hips, stood on her tippy toes and kissed me. I smiled, “Now that may cause problems when I’m trying to race.”

  “Huh?” she asked. I kissed her again, then pushed my hardening cock against her, she smiled against my lips, “That will be taken care of later.” She told me.

  “Alright you two come on, you can’t do that shit up here.” Jerod yelled. I grabbed Chassis’ hand as we walked down the cat walk and back to the hauler.

  My cell phone was ringing in my pocket, “Aren’t you going to answer that?” Chassis asked me.

  “No, I’m in roaming they can leave a voicemail.” I told her as I unlocked the back door of the semi and lowered it down. No way in hell was I going to tell her that it was my ex-girlfriend trying to call me for the hundredth time since we had pulled into the track pit area.

  Jason walked past me and whispered, “You’re going to fucking lie to her? How mad do you suppose she’ll be when she finds out who it is?” then he walked to the front of the car and hooked the winch up. I slammed the steering wheel onto the column and glared at him as we rolled the car out of the trailer.

  Chassis and Asher each grabbed a fold out lawn chair and sat down in the trailer as we stood around the car talking to some of the other racers that we had become friends with over the years.

  A golf cart came whizzing up and stopped, “Bout god damn time you get here.” Lawrence said as he patted me on the shoulder.

  I shook my head and laughed, “What’s up, how the hell have you been?”

  “Good…Good, doing as little as possible as usual.” He told us with a big smile. The only way to explain Lawrence “Party Animal” the man knew more about racing than most of the drivers at Super Nationals, and he was always willing to help somebody out when they needed an extra hand. When it came time to drink the man could out drink anybody.

  “So you’re gonna use Cameron’s hot rod as a backup?” he asked.

  “Well, hopefully I won’t need it, I’d like to keep mine in one piece if at all possible.”

  “No doubt! Hey did you know there are two really hot chicks in your rig?” he asked with big eyes and a serious tone. That was another thing about Lawrence, his attention span, he would switch from topic to topic in a millisecond.

  Jerod laughed, “Jesus man, that dark haired one is Chassis Jet’s girlfriend. The blonde is Mitch’s girlfriend Asher.”

  “Chassis like a race car chassis?” Lawrence asked.

  “Like the race car chassis.” I told him with a laugh.

  “I’m in love.” He said then walked into the trailer. Chassis was reading on her kindle, Asher was typing away on her laptop.

  “Ehhmm” Lawrence cleared his throat to get their attention. Chassis and Asher looked up “Yes?” Asher asked.

  “I’m going to introduce myself since those pricks (he pointed a thumb over his shoulder) won’t. I’m Lawrence.” He said and stuck his hand out to Asher.

  She smiled, “Asher, nice to meet you Lawrence.”

  Chassis was smiling, Lawrence knelt down on one knee, “Hello my beautiful…holy shit are your eyes two different colors?” he asked.

  She laughed, “Hi Lawrence I’m Chassis, and yes they are.” she held her hand out to shake his hand. Lawrence stood up, pulled her out of her chair and started leading her to his golf cart;

  “Sorry, but Chassis just professed her love for me, so we are outta here Jet. Good luck the rest of the week.” He said as he tried to run to the golf cart. Chassis was laughing so hard she had tears running down her cheeks, she sat down on the seat “Stay!” he told her. She clasped her hands in her lap and nodded her head trying to hide a smile. I walked over to Lawrence, he puffed his chest out, “What?” he said trying to sound serious.

  I looked past him, “She’s mine.” I said pointing to Chass.

  He shook his head, “No sir, ask Asher, Chassis accepted my marriage proposal, your loss.” He told me. I couldn’t help but laugh, Lawrence stood about five foot eight compared to my six foot four.

  “Did she now?” I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.

  “She did.” He said crossing his arms over his chest.

  Chassis walked over and wrapped her arm around my waist, “Damn you Chassis I said STAY…uggg…” he said with a sigh and threw his head back. “I’m partying with her this week, all I have to do is offer her some of my Apple Pie and she’ll be turning her nose up at you.” He said with a huff.

  I laughed and shook my head, “How about this, while I’m in line up and racing you can be her babysitter, but you have to keep an eye on Asher too.” I said.

  He smiled big, “YES, deal!” He said and stuck his hand out and shook mine.

  Asher whined, “We don’t need a babysitter you jerk!”

  “Oh, trust me, you’ll have fun sweet cheeks.” Lawrence said then whispered in her ear “Apple pie…Will make you happy happy happy!”

  She laughed, “Okay, whatever that is, it’s not drugs is it?” she asked.

  “Hell no, it’s not drugs, you’ll find out later.” Then Lawrence got on his golf cart and drove away.

  Chassis sat back down in the trailer, and was talking to Asher about Lawrence, my cell phone rang again but I didn’t bother answering it.

  “It might be an emergency Jet, you should at least answer it.” Chassis said with a concerned look. I didn’t want to answer it, I knew that it was Riley. I figured maybe if I answered she would leave me alone, so I walked out of the trailer and answered, “Yeah?”

  “Hey…I was going to come talk to you guys if that’s okay?” Riley asked.

  I shook my head, “No, that’s not a good idea.” I told her.

  “Jet, please, I know Jerod and Jason are there, I’ve seen your girlfriend. So not what I pictured you with by the way, but I just want to talk to you guys and catch up.” She whined.

  “I’ll catch up with you later.” I told her then hung up.

  I walked past Chassis and Asher to go back to the workbench in the hauler, “What’s not a good idea?” Chassis asked.

  “Oh nothing, dad thinks he needs to come out here and watch.” I told her then busied myself with grabbing tire gauges.

  “Oh.” Was all she said, then she started reading on her Kindle again.

  Later that afternoon, the officials came through the pit area and told all of us we needed to leave then come back in with our
pit passes for the week. After we were back at the trailer they came over the PA system that the A-modified’s were now able to run hot laps. I was only going to be able to hot lap my car but not Cameron’s, hopefully it wouldn’t come down to me having to use his car, using someone’s else’s car was always nerve racking.

  I was just climbing in the car when Chassis walked over to me, “Have fun and be careful.” She told me with a smile. I had one leg inside the car and one on the outside, I pulled her close to me, wrapped my arm around her waist and placed a loud smacking kiss on her lips. She giggled and tried to push away, I tightened my arm around her waist, “Come here.” I growled and lowered my mouth to hers. She fisted my fire suit in her hands as our tongues danced against each other, the small whimper she let out had me instantly hard.

  I smiled against her lips as she pulled away, “You need to concentrate, you can’t with that (she pointed at my dick) being hard.” She told me.

  I laughed, “I’ve done it before, and you’re the one that’s always causing the problem.” I told her.

  She rolled her eyes and shook her head, “Go turn some laps you sex fiend. Be careful Jet, I love you.” She told me then kissed me again and walked back to the trailer.

  “You’re not going to watch?” I asked.

  “I have to call my mom real quick then I’ll go up on the catwalk.” She said. I nodded, got in my car fastened my belts and waited for Jerod to signal it was okay for me to back out of our pit stall.

  I sat there with my car idling waiting for them to flag the next ten modified’s onto the track. We only got ten laps each session, so I needed to make sure that I paid close attention to the car and how it handled. As I watched car after car cutting sideways off of the corners out of turn four down the front straight away my adrenaline started pumping. A few minutes later it was finally time for another group to hot lap. I had raced this track in the past and was pretty comfortable with the tacky surface. As the other cars lined up in front of and behind me, once the green flag dropped everybody was hammer down on their gas pedals. My car was hooking up great, the track was good and tacky making it fast. Once we ran the ten laps, I idled back to the pits.
