1377 Words
Ash took her hand and intertwined fingers with her. He walked her into the race box.
She saw Storm there talking to a tall voluptuous blond with implants. She looked to be about 20 years old, same as her, but she was gorgeous.
Stella looked down at her smaller, but real boobs.
She shook her head. She thought, I'm not a match for this well manicured beauty queen.
She tried to turn to leave before the others saw her.
Ash took her into his embrace.
"Nope, your not running away. You got this, you are a thoroughbred...she's a plastic Barbie pony."
He kissed all the worry away.
Plus that pill was kicking in.
Storm watched his brother kiss Stella.
He wanted to do that himself.
Seeing her here, right in front of him, he remembered the night they had spent together.
It wasn't just a dream. It was very real.
He thought she looked so beautiful in white. "Wait what!" He told her to wear red.
He told Jerika that he would be right back he needed to see his brother.
Jerika shrugged, she sat down and got on her phone.
Storm came storming over to her. (Like his name indicated.)
" You are supposed to be in red!" He yelled quietly.
He took her hand and kissed her thumb ring.
" Go distract Jerika Ash, please." He said to his twin, dismissing him.
Ash angrily shook his head.
"She's here for me, not you. You can't have both of them, sorry assh*le!"
Storm looked back at Jerika, she was busy on her phone.
Storm quickly kissed Stella on the lips, ignoring Ash.
"You smell devine, you look so pretty, I can't stay mad at you."
She raised a brow. " You can't do this right now, your girl?"
She pointed at Jerika.
Storm ran his hand through his wavy black hair.
" I know, I'm sorry. I have plans, I won't faulter, I will get everything I want, you...you can't stop me."
He pointed at her, then kissed her again, he couldn't help it.
" Ash get Stella settled, let's go." Storm was all fired up.
Storm walked away and then abruptly turned around again, he shoved Stella into the closet.
" I want to screw you right now, I could just lift this little white dress and stick it in. It would be very quick." He said with one hand on the wall.
She shook her head. "Wrong girl Storm. Your very beautiful girl is out there waiting for you to win this race."
She removed her thumb ring and gave it back to him.
" I can't be yours, I'm just a plain girl, I'm not a fancy girl with fake t**s and incredibly long legs.
She's quite stunning. You deserve everything you want, you planned for this.
I'm just a girl that doesn't like to be alone. I don't have a race car daddy. I don't even have a daddy." She said softly looking at his big doe eyes.
She turned and left him in the closet.
He swore. " s**t, s**t, shit."
Stella walked up to Jerika, she shook hands with her.
" I'll take a bottle of sparkling wine, and a few bags of those hot cheetos." She told Stella, thinking she was the help.
Ash said,"Uh, she's my girlfriend Jerika, not the help."
Stella took a step back, hurt.
" Don't listen to her Stella, you look beautiful." Ash said.
Stella sat in the back of the box, away from Jerika.
Storm saw her sitting alone.
" Here... please, just wear this." He gave her back the ring.
She had tears in her eyes.
She shook her head. " Please, Storm."
She was ready to run away.
Ash sat next to her and kissed her sad eyes. " I'll stay with you." He said, looking at his brother.
Stella stood up. " No way, you boys go win this race, I'm good."
She took another pill and popped it into her mouth, she wasn't even hurting a little.
Ash kissed her head. "Go easy on those things Stella." He frowned.
Storm turned to go, then stopped, he came right back and kissed Stella right there in front everyone.
He held her face as he kissed her, he didn't care who saw them."I'm sorry, just stay please. I need you to."
Jerika didn't even look up from her phone.
The twins reluctantly left to go to their race cars....
Stella nervously called Cash.
" Hey, how's my girl?" He said.
" I'm okay, no... I'm not. I am worried about these boys racing. I'm stressing out." She said.
" Oh, I'm sorry. I should be there. The boys get all worked up unless I'm out there wrenching on their cars."
" Stella I have to tell you some news." He said anxious himself.
" I married Kira yesterday. We are officially married. I wanted to be the one to tell you.
I still love you sweetheart. I have to honor her though. You will see once you get home, she's not...she's different. Her head is all messed up." He said sadly.
" That warms my heart that you are that kind of man Cash, I hope you can be happy with her," it was all her idea after all.
" Oh no you don't understand, I'm in love with you Stella, but I'm obligated to her, to take care of her.
I promised her father. I didn't promise I would stop loving you.
He knows where my heart lies. He agrees with me. We have a deal.
When you are home, he will take Kira to his house, that way you and I can have our time together.
Do you want to try this? Please say you will." He needed her.
She smiled. " I could kiss you, do you really think this could work though?"
" It has to. You are everything to me. I know you didn't want to be married, I know my brothers have all staked their claims on you, well except Storm.
He's got his big plans. We have all been so close growning up.
Stella, I'm willing to share you with them to keep you happy, honestly."
Stella sighed. "Cash I can accept this, the fact that poor Kira is incapacitated that changes everything. Yes, I want to be with you when you are able to, I miss you."
She hung up and watched the twins get into their fancy race cars.
Storm kept looking up at their box.
She stood up at the window and waved at him.
He nodded, satisfied she was still there.
They began to race around the track. Storm was in the lead.
Stella got excited, jumping up and down for him. Ash was in 8th place.
Jerika watched her. " It's just timed trials, no biggie. Storm will place in 2nd or 3rd, Ash in 9th or 10th. It's how it usually works."
Stella said," Well, when it's all over, you will be engaged, right?"
Jerika looked mad.
" My daddy and Storm came up with that plan. I'm not ready to settle down, I'm only 21. I have other ideas." She said.
" Why don't you tell them?" She asked.
" Storm is madly in love with me. He wants to get me pregnant right away, so he said." She frowned.
" What are your other plans?" She asked.
" I want to travel, I want to go to Greece and party with my friends." She said.
" Jerika why don't you just go?" She smile at her.
Jerika nodded. "Why don't I go...damn it..tell Storm I'm very sorry, I'm just too young." She stood up and collected her purse.
"Tell daddy, well tell daddy nothing, he will never understand me."
Stella said," Just to clarify, you never wanted to marry Storm?"
She nodded. "I just wanted to screw him, daddy found out that I was after him and wanted to use me to lure him to his racing team.
He won't like that I'm not here, but mom will talk to him, I'm his daughter, not some pawn. Thanks Stella. Thank you so much!"
She kissed Stella's cheek and ran out.
Stella bit her nail and waited.
