â couldnât be helped with your disastrous taste . â  sheâs quick to  quipped back ,  attention pulled away from his frame as her ears picked up the sound of the duffle bag being taken .  a sly  smirk playing across her tiers at his words that were filled with wonder to where she got her hands on the clothes .  if only he knew , most likely he would have booked it out of there by now . she wasnât stupid enough though to tell him as she merely shrugs her shoulders .  â smart , human boy .  â  her words dance out of out of her tiers  without much thought ,  exhaling as his presence finds itself out of her range .Â
didnât take long for him to be back ,  head perking up as she found herself peering up at him . eyes inhaling the visage of before her as a smug grin plays along her tiers . she had to admit that she had good taste .  â  do  you think iâll let you come with me if you looked like a mess ? no , darling i have a rep to keep up.  â  soft is the tsk that pushes past her , her hand carefully coming to push his away as she shakes her head at him .  â  changed my mind . i donât know how youâll handle foreign horsepower and my baby is my prize.  â  itâs what she does  â taunt and pull and it wasnât about to change as she got off his desk ,  hands running down her frame to remove any wrinkles .   â  hurry up , kai  or iâll be leaving you behind.  â  subtle motion she leads the way out of his place ,already being too   familiar  with the layout with the amount of times she had come unannounced . Â
there were many things that zephyr was into  â  and cars were on that list .  one of the very few  inventions   created by humans that she had taken liking into . much like how she cared for her prizes , the dragon was possessive . itâs the baby blue 1970 plymouth barracuda ; all american muscle laid out for the viewing as she feels a swell in her chest .  hours of hard work poured into the vehicle , every single update upon the   old  classic car was done by her hands .  years of being on this earth gave her the time to dabble into some fields , most that dealt with craftsmen ship but those where little things kai would never know .  â  sheâs a beauty, ainât she ? â  yes that was pride in her chest as she hits the remote to unlock the doors .  â  sheâs gonna be in the race , tonight .  i like ya, but not sure if youâre ready for the muscle behind this car.  â  she hums with delight as she heads over to the drivers side , carefully opening the door taking her rightful seat behind the wheel .  â  you getting in or what ?  â  the soft purr of her engine breathing life into the beast she called her own .Â
this was what she liked ; the view of cars lined up to be displayed , hoods popped open to showcase the power underneath . a crowd of bodies mingling scattered in all different directions as  she carefully finds herself pulling into the dirt road .  sound of music playing was far from the ears of any local authority . it helped that the one that was behind this little event was the child of the man behind the constriction. rich little humans that wanted to play with the big kids , if she had to be honest .  women in skimpy outfits , drawn to the winners  or with the people with the most luxurious rides . she stood out like a sore thumb , not that she minded it as she parked her car by another import  â japanese muscle from the looks of it .  â  try not to get into any trouble , kai . â  her voice breaks the silence within her car ; aside from the music that had been lowly playing in the background , the ride had been casual . she doesnât tell him because she thinks he will , but most of these people were bound to want to start any with a new face on the scene.  â  these kids have big pockets and i often enjoy emptying them out .  â  she muses as she flashes him a grin , thereâs no good to come out with her behind the wheel and let alone in a race .  this wasnât like what most people would imagine  â these drag races were dangerous and a lot of these kids had a few bodies tucked under their belt .  Â
 â  also , i should remind you if you pick up any tail , to get it done here because i ainât about to drive a horny girl in my car. those types of stains arenât good for my leather .  â  sheâs cheeky with her words but firm as she undoes her belt before reaching out over to his side to open the dashboard taking out her pink slip , hand pressed on his thigh for a moment to keep herself  stable before she pulls away with a coy smile .  it wouldnât be her if she wasnât handsy and she wasnât about to change her antics as she climbs out . lungs inhaling the scent of booze , drugs  and other substance her keen nose could pick up on .  â  so what do you think ? â   question lingers out of her voice as she tucks the ownership paper of her car into her pocket and slips on the leather jacket she had in the back of her car covering what little it could from her already exposed skin .  the chill of the hill air not bothering her .  Â
 â god , i missed this scene.  â Â
Yerin was truly something else, with her harsh words and blunt opinions. But she was the type to dish it, and he was the type to send it right back. At least, with her he learned how to play her little games. He wasnât about to be feeding from the palm of her hand but he would go along with her, let her show him the ropes of her underground lifestyle. So, he was like her little toy and if she wanted him to change his clothes and act a certain way to âfit inâ, he would. Without much complaint, too.
It shouldnât have come as much as a surprise either that she wasnât going to let him drive. Once his dark hues had landed on her vehicle, he felt adrenaline already pumping through his veins with excitement. God, how heâd love to get his own hands behind those wheels. âIf only you knew what I could handle. Youâre a tease, Yerin. Ever heard that before? Ah, donât even answer.â Heâs flashing her a smirk as he had climbed in on the passenger side.
Nervous was a quality he always possessed, but he was oddly enough comfortable as they approached the scene. It was a mad house almost, loud music blasting and voices carrying on through the night. A scene he had only been to a few times with Yerin, and a scene he wasnât quite used to yet. Nonetheless, fingers are brushing through styled, chocolate brown hair to push the strands from out of his eyes so that he wouldnât miss a second of what was unraveling here.
âYou donât have to worry about me getting into trouble, sounds like thatâs my line for you. But, if trouble finds us.. I can handle my own.â He was still sporting a grin, wanting to reassure her but if anything she was probably going to be the handful of the two of them. At least that he could say for certain. But this was, again, Yerinâs scene. What she said, he took to heart. He knew these were a bunch of rich kids, snobby people who he didnât quite belong with. It wasnât his type of people in general, but he knew how to coat his words with honey and tell anyone what they wanted to hear.
Kai had his hand on the door handle, a sharp breath taken once a hand is planted firmly on his thigh. Of course. It was always a bit of surprise but heâs reminded that this is her and quite honestly, he didnât mind. The moment it was there, it was gone. Just like the tease she was.
 âPick up a girl here? God, I donât think I want any of the diseases that come with them. Least of your concerns, princess.â He was laughing, quick to slip out of the vehicle now and round to the front. He was now suitably dressed, partially thankful he hadnât shown up in the casual attire he was sporting earlier. He shrugs, his dark hues flickering around to survey the rest of the scene. âI think.. I need a drink already and to see what this is all about.â
