The rumbling sounds of engines revving filled the streets of El Segundo as the street racers lined their cars up on the starting line. While the sound of the crowds cheer in the background for their favorite drivers.
Emma sat in the driver's seat of her GtR R34, both hands on the steering wheel. Playing with the throttle of her car letting itās engine roar as she readies herself for the race. āKeep your focus, find your momentum.ā She murmured under her breath.
āHey barbie, why donāt you give me a kiss once I win this race.ā Salazar hooted at her with a wide grin. āPretty smug for a guy whoās never won a race against me before.ā She sneers back at him. āWeāll see about that!ā He scowls then looks away.
The organizer steps up to wave the flag. Beside Emma five other cars starts revving their engines. āRacers are you ready..set...GO!ā
Emma releases the clutch and punches the gas. Her car zooms ahead with the other races leaving dust of smoke behind the starting line. The crowd cheers as the vehicles speed away from the lot, moving further away into the deserted street. Salazar manages to get ahead of Emma, blocking her path every time she tries to overtake him. She takes a quick look at the rearview mirror and sees the other cars behind her. Changing gears she manages to divert herself from behind Salazar, now both their cars are now racing neck in neck.
Salazar notices her next to him, his brows furrow. āYou aināt passing princess.ā He said gritting his teeth and picking up speed. The road reaches a wide corner and they start to drift but Salazar's car takes a wide corner causing his car to fall back behind Emmaās. āToo wide asshole!ā She howls and speeds past him. They finally pass the last corner, leaving a long stretch towards the finish line, with only a short distance left Emma hits the NOS button which causes her car to go into overdrive in just mere seconds just in time to cross the finish line, winning the race. Her car drifts to a stop followed by Salazar and the other drivers behind her.
The crowd cheers at her victory and the organizer walks up to her. āI believe this is yours.ā She grins, handing her a stack of cash worth 10 grand. āHereās a tip.ā Emma smiles, and hands the organizer a few dollar bills before turning to where Salazar and the other guys who raced were standing. āMaybe next time boys.ā She winked and walked away to join the rest of the crowd at the sideshow.
Loud music filled the air and a set of colorful light illuminated the abandoned industrial park. Engines roars as driver's lift their hoods and compared their rigs. Emma scans the area looking for her friends.
āNot bad for a girl. You race here often, sweetheart?ā
She turns to see a boy off by himself leaning against his white motorcycle with his arms folded.
āWouldnāt you like to know?ā She quirks an eyebrow at him while crossing her arms.
The boy laughs. āDonāt flatter yourself too much, sweetheart. Smugness doesnāt look good on you.ā
The nerve of this guy, who does think he is? āYeah cause youāre such a charmer.ā She claps back and gave a sarcastic eye roll.
As if on cue Logan arrives. āHey babe.ā He grinned, placing his hand on the small of her back and giving her a quick kiss. āVaugh told me you kicked ass during the race against Salazar and the others just now.ā
āKick ass? I basically killed them on the streets tonight.ā She beamed proudly.
āSorry I wasnāt there to witness your victory, boss had a last minute job he wanted me to handle.ā Logan turns to the stranger on the motorcycle, his eyes narrowed. āIs this guy bothering you?ā
āRelax prince charming, I was just keeping your girlfriend here company while you were late.ā The boy replied with a grin.
āEverythings fine Logan, we were just talking. I Promise.ā She assures Logan giving his arm a soft squeeze.
The stranger swings one leg over his motorcycle. He looks right at Emma and winks. āSee you around, sweetheart.ā He revs his bike and guns ways. Logan glares after him.
A little while later Emma and Logan manages to find the rest of the group amongst the crowd, they decided to go to Kelsoās for a late night snack. When they return back to the garage they notice Teppei in his office discussing matters with someone.
āWhoād you think the boss is speaking to at this hour?ā Toby asked with an eager tone in his voice.
Mona shrugs. āProbably some business associate.ā
āAt this hour?ā Toby raises an eyebrow turns to the office door. āI wanna eavesdrop.ā
āThatās not a good idea.ā Ximena advises him but he is already peering his ear by the door. Just then Teppeiās office door flies open. He glares at Toby who is still crouched with his ear pressed to the door. āAhem.ā Teppei clears his throat furrowing his brows at Toby.
āSorry boss, I was just uhā¦ cleaning your door. Look all done.ā He stuttered and walks towards where the rest of the crew were standing.
Teppei steps out of the office, his expression emotionless as he looks at the crew.
āEverything alright boss?ā Logan asked with his arms folded.
āEverything is fine.ā Teppei assures him. āNow that youāre all here, thereās someone Iād like you to meet.ā
As soon as he said it a figure steps out from his office. Emma and Logan eyes go wide when they see that itās the stranger from the sideshow. He gives a smug look when he sees the two standing in front of him.
āWhat the hell is he doing here?ā She whispered to Logan.
āNo idea but this better be good.ā He replied, eyes glaring at the stranger. The rest of the crew cocked an eyebrow wondering who the person standing in front of them was.
āEveryone this is my son, Colt. He will be joining us temporarily and will only be working for us by the book. Is that understood?ā
Emma stammers back her eyes go wide open. Colt? As in Colt Kaneko? The smug asshole at the sideshow was Colt? Her Colt? How could she recognize someone she practically grew up with all those years ago? There was definitely a lot that had changed about him. The Colt she remembered was shorter, skinnier. But the Colt standing in front of her? He was different, he had grown a foot taller than her, maybe even more, his skinny figure was now replaced with toned muscles in all the right places and his face was much clearer. Hitting puberty definitely did him a lot of favors. But how could she have not seen it the moment they met on the sideshow. Or better yet did he recognize her?
āCāColt?ā She stuttered and he gave a curious look. āYeah thatās my name?ā As if instinctively she approaches him and gives him a hug.
āGeez Logan, you really need to tell your girlfriend to stop hugging strangers. It gets creepy.ā Mona smirked at Logan who looks confused at Emma.
Colt is taken aback when she suddenly comes up to hug him. What in the world is this girl doing? His body stiffens, slightly confused but as he took in her scent he couldnāt help but notice how familiar it was to him.
āEmma?ā He murmured under his breath. Like her, he couldnāt believe that he didnāt recognize her as soon as he laid eyes on her at the sideshow. She was so different from the Emma he grew up with. She had coloured her jet black hair into a rose gold pastel color, she had tattoos on her body and she wore makeup which she didnāt do before. Even the way she dressed was different. But she was still beautiful maybe even more than she was before.
His body relaxes under her embraced and hugged her back, he didnāt realize how much he had missed her. But then memories of their break up start surging back, all the pain and anger he went through. She broke his heart. Remembering all this his body stiffens again as he pulls back.
āEmma, you look different.ā He said with a flat voice then straightens his jacket before turning to his father, ignoring Emma like he couldnāt care less and at that moment she feels her heart shatter.
āSo pops, you gonna introduce me to the crew or are we just gonna just stand here and stare at each other all night?ā
Teppei introduces the team, Toby enthusiastically shakes Coltās hand while Ximena gives him a big bear hug. Mona nods at him and finally itās down to Logan who glares at Colt.
āSo Logan, you must be my pops new pet. Glad to see he still does the occasional charity work.ā Colt sneered giving Logan a smug look.
āYouāre lucky youāre Kanekoās kid or Iād beat your smug ass to the ground right now.ā Logan retorts.
While Teppei and Logan are in the office discussing business. Colt, Toby and Ximena are at another corner talking about the new engine Toby just installed in one of the cars they just got. Mona saunters over to Emma, whoās leaning on the hood of her car with her arms crossed glaring at Colt.
āWhatās the story between you and Junior over there?ā Mona asked leaning next to Emma pulling her out of her thoughts.
āHe used to live next door to me when I was a kid.ā She answered.
āThat does not explain the whole tension vibe I just witnessed. Were you guys together or something?ā
āWeā¦ We were close.ā She replied giving a half smile.
Emma gave a half shrug. āItās... Complicated.ā She looks back at Colt who still pretends like she doesnāt exist. Could he still be holding a grudge of their break up after all this year? But he was the one who cheated. Emma shook her head trying to get rid of Colt from her mind. āLook Mona, Iām really tired so like tell Logan I went to bed already.
Mona leans back at the hood of Emmaās car, chewing her gum and blowing it into a bubble while observing her surroundings. In one corner, she sees Emma climbing up the stairs to the loft. At Teppeiās office Logan walks out while Colt walks in, Colt making sure he bumps into Loganās shoulder as he goes making Logan scowl at him. The bubble pops and she draws it back into her mouth. Her lips curved into a mischievous grin. āWell this is going to be interesting.ā
