Pole Position (32 page)

“Because we thought Jet did tell you or WOULD tell you, but we were wrong.” Jason said.  Jason was so mad he was shaking.  “I’m going to go break their little fucking reunion up and kick his ass though.” He said and turned to go back.  I ran to catch up with him, I stopped in front of him then looked around the front of the semi, Jet had Riley pinned against the side with her legs wrapped tightly around his waist. 

He had his hands cupping her breasts under her
shirt,
“Yes Jet please.”
She moaned and tried to grind against his cock that was pressing against his jeans. 

“Chass, you really shouldn’t be watching this,
let’s go.” Asher said as she cried beside me. 

I shook my head no
, “I’m going to watch, so I KNOW what happened that way he can’t lie to me or tell me I’m over reacting when I confront him.” I told her as I wiped more tears away.

“God damnit Chass you’re torturing yourself.” Jason whisper yelled.

I glared over at him then looked back at Jet and Riley, I had to see this with my own two eyes, even though it was killing me inside.  I.had.to.see.

Riley handed Jet a foil packet.
“You didn’t fucking poke holes in it did you?” He asked as he looked at it then back at her.

“Enough!” Jason whisper yelled and yanked me away from where I was standing
, “You’re not going to watch any fucking more.  You don’t deserve this shit.” He said as he pushed me back towards the RV.  Asher ran up and put her arm around me as we quickly walked away from the guys.  Carley caught up with us and put her arm around me, once we got back to the RV I broke down completely.  I was crying so hard I was gagging, “I can’t…oh my god…he…” I couldn’t form sentences.  The other guys stood in front of me looking at the ground, “I’m going to talk to him when he..uh..gets back here.” Jason said still clearly pissed off.

I shook my head no.

“NO?  What the fuck do you mean NO?” Jason yelled.

“I…I just want to go
home.  I can’t see him anymore…or talk to him.”

“Chassis it’s a ten hour drive, we can just get a hotel in town.” Asher said.

“Not gonna happen, they’re all full.” Lawrence told us.

Another round of tears racked through my body, “One of you should have told me.” I sobbed.

“It wasn’t our place TO tell you god damnit, we figured he HAD told you by now!” Jerod told me. 

I looked over at Lawrence, then at the jug in his hand.  I reached over yanked it out of his hand and took one long chug of it. 

“Chassis, I’m not going to watch you make yourself sick.” He said and tried to pull it away. 

The music from where the DJ was now playing over by the stage started getting louder,
Beyoncé
’s ‘
Single Ladies
’ started to play, then stopped and repeated the intro of the song about five times. 

“Why are they playing the song like that?” I asked.

“It’s nothing.” Carley said with a wave of her hand.

I stomped away from them and back towards the stage area.  “CHASSIS STOP you’re not going to do what I think you are thinking about!” Asher yelled and ran to catch up with me.  “Come on let’s just go back to the RV, maybe we can book a flight back home.” She told me.

I pushed my way through the crowd of people, once I was at the front of the stage that’s when I realized that there was a stripping contest about to start. I pushed through the front of the crowd over to Russell’s trailer.  “I’m in.” I told him.  He looked at me, looked me over from head to toe then back up at my face. 

“Be my guest.” He motioned with his arm to the stage.

Without hesitation I quickly walked onto the stage where other girls were standing waiting for the music to start.  ‘Single Ladies’ finally started playing, there were about twelve women on stage, we all started dancing and grinding against each other.  Four golf carts with stripper poles bolted on to a platform on the back were backed up against the stage. I walked over to one of them and started sliding my back up and down the pole.  I stood up grabbed the pole with my left hand and spun around in a circle.  I glanced around at the other’s they had stripped their shirts off and were now in their bras and shorts with the top button unsnapped.  I grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head then threw it at Jerod that was now standing beside the golf cart glaring at me. 

“Get the fuck down.” He yelled over the music. 

I squatted down and crawled towards him, ran a finger up his chest to his chin then pulled my hand away and flipped him off right in front of his face. 
Rihanna
’s ‘
Don’t Stop The Music
’ started playing, so I stood up and walked away from the stage.  One of the other women grabbed me by my waist and started grinding with her leg between mine, suddenly I was being yanked away from her causing me to stumble backwards and almost lose my balance. 

“What the
fuc……” I started to say when Jerod pulled me against his chest.

“I told you to fucking stop…don’t do this!” He growled into my ear.  I tur
ned and tried to push him away but he didn’t budge.  He picked me up threw me over his shoulder and walked back into the enclosed trailer then out the side door.  “I’m taking you back to the RV, you’re going to sleep off all the alcohol you drank then tomorrow we’ll figure out how to get you back to the campus.” 

I kicked and pounded my fists against his back
, “No, I’m not going back there.  I want to go HOME, back to Kansas!” I yelled. “I have a bet I have to do, I’m not letting Carley down on our bet she won, well I won but she won.” I continued yelling.  He stopped abruptly then pulled me off his shoulder.

“What bet?”

“I told her she could perform lesbian acts on me!” I stated and planted my hand firmly on my hips while glaring at Jerod.

His eyes got big
, “WHAT?”

“You heard me.” I turned and started walking back to the RV.  My cell phone rang, I pulled it out of my pocket to see that Jet was trying to call.  I shook my head and laughed
, hit ignore then shut my phone off. 

Carley and Asher seen me getting closer and ran over to me pulling me into a hug.  “I’m so sorry, I can’t believe him.” Asher said trying to hold back tears.  “He’s been back by the camper looking for you, he doesn’t know that any of us know anything, Jason said he’s not going to say anything to him.  Jason is ready to beat the hell out of him.”  She told me. 

I nodded my head, “He tried to call me, I don’t want to talk to him right now though.  He’ll say I’m overreacting.”

Carley snorted
, “Overreacting? Are you fucking serious?! He should be lucky you didn’t punch him in the dick yet.”

I looked at her, “I owe you a bet, so let’s do this.”

She shook her head, “No way, absolutely not.” She told me holding her hands up in front of her.

“Chassis, just go inside and pass out.  We’ve all had a shit ton to drink, tomorrow we can figure out how to get back to campus.” Asher said.

I shook my head, “I’m not going back, I’m going HOME Ash.”

She nodded her head “That’s fine, but you need to go inside and get some sleep.  I’ll see if I can get Jet to sleep somewhere else.”

“No, because then he’ll know that we all know something is up.  I’ll just give him the cold shoulder IF I’m even awake.” I gave her and Carley a hug then walked into the RV and slammed the door.

Jet

****

I knew that the Carley chic
k had obviously talked Asher and Chassis into being in the wet t-shirt contest.  We stood around talking at the trailer then we all made our way over to the stage area.  Asher, Chassis, and Carley all went in the side door where more women had went.  About ten minutes later they all came out on stage, Lenny was blaring through the speakers as guys up front sprayed the women on stage and threw colored powder at them. 

Chassis was laughing and dancing like I had seen her dancing at the club
, I pushed my way to the front of the stage as Chassis had more water sprayed on her.  Her nipples were peaked and pressing against her tight little white shirt she had on.  She knelt down in front of me and pumped her hips up and down a few times as the guys threw more colored powder on her and sprayed her with water.  She threw her head back and laughed then stood up and walked back to where the other women were dancing with each other. 

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I pulled it out to see that Riley had text me
, *
I really want us to talk, I have a picture of our son to show you.
* ~ *
Fine, meet me at the camper
* ~ *
K
* I rolled my eyes at the fucking smiley face and waited for Chassis to come out of the trailer since the contest was finally over and she had won.  When she never came out I walked over to the trailer and threw the side door open.  Carley told me they would be out in a few minutes to go grab a couple of beers.  I tried to tell Chassis that I was tired and wanted to go to bed but she knew better, she knew that I had full intentions of fucking her brains out once we were alone. 

I walked through the crowd of people to the RV to get me a couple of beers, when I got closer I seen Riley leaning agains
t the side of it.  I shook my head, when I was standing in front of her.

“Well let me see the picture.”
I told her.

“No, we are going to go somewhere and talk Jet.”

“Riley.”  I shook my head.  “Just let me see MY son.”

She pursed her lips then walked away, looked over her shoulder to see if I was following.  I grabbed a couple of beers out of the cooler, then followed a few step
s behind Riley.  She walked between pulling rigs and enclosed trailers then stopped and leaned against one.  She pulled a picture out of her back pocket and handed it to me.  I yanked the picture away from her. I looked down and smiling up at me was a chubby cheeked, sandy brown hair, blue eyed little boy.  He looked just like me even the hairline was just like mine.  I stood there looking at the picture and couldn’t tear my eyes away from him.  That very instant I had nothing but pure hate towards Riley for giving my son up for adoption without me ever even knowing about him or getting the chance to meet him.  My cell phone had been ringing but I never bothered to even pull it out and see who was calling. 

“They named him Chase Michael.” She told me. 

I looked back up at Riley, “I can’t talk to you right now when I’m this pissed.”

“Jet..”

“NO Riley!  You didn’t even fucking TELL me!”

She took two steps towards me, ran her hands up my chest then clasped her hands behind my neck.  Her warm sugar smell filled my senses, she started talking about how she still loved me and how we had talked about getting married, traveling around the world racing and having a family.  Once her lips touched mine, I felt myself getting even more pissed.  Her lips didn’t feel the same against mine as Chassis did, her smell wasn’t the same, then she slid her tongue into my mouth.  Her soft moan and the ways she fisted my hair in her hands instantly caused my dick to get hard. 
I pushed her against the trailer, she wrapped her legs around my waist and deepened the kiss.
Fuck fuck FUCK you have to stop, you’re with Chassis, you love Chassis, she’s going to be heartbroken when she finds out.
I pulled away from Riley, both of us breathing heavy against each other’s face. 
Don’t let her do it Jet, Chassis Chassis Chassis.

“Riley…”
She gave your son up for adoption, you never even got to meet him and probably never will.
She grinded her center against my dick and moaned;

“Let’s start over Jet, let’s fuck just like old times.  Hard and fast until I’m screaming out your name.” she whispered and licked my ear. 

I needed to stop her, “Riley fucking don’t do this.” I growled at her. 

“You miss me
and you know it.”

“I’m with Chassis.”

“You know you’ll never have what we had together with her.”

I shook my head, “Fuck you.” I told her.

She continued stroking my cock through my jeans, “I miss this, I miss you.  The way the veins bulge around it starting at the base all the way to the tip.  Remember the way you use to fill me up so much I would scream out from pleasure and pain?  Hmm?”

“You’re a fucking bitch.”

“Mmm, talk dirty to me Jet.” She said then handed me a condom from her pocket.

I stood there with the condom in my hand, I couldn’t do this, I couldn’t cheat on Chassis.  I shook my head no, reached back and unclasped her ankles from behind me.  “Not gonna happen.” I told her and stepped back wiping her lip gloss off of my lips.

“Jet, I know you still have feelings for me.” Riley whined and stepped towards me. 

“No Riley, I fucking don’t.  What just happened will NEVER happen again with you.  I would have given anything to at least meet my son but no you fucking ruined that for me.”

“Jet, I told you I wasn’t going to be able to provide for him like he deserves.”

“I fucking know OKAY.  I understand that, but don’t you think you could have at least had the fucking decency to tell ME?” I yelled at her.  She flinched then her eyes filled with tears.

“I just…I knew that you would want me to keep him and I didn’t want to have to put my life on hold.  I…I’m sorry.” She cried and tried to pull me towards her. 

I jerked her hands off of my chest, “Well, it’s a little late for apologies
, I can’t believe what just happened…FUCK!” I yelled and walked away from her.

I tried calling Chassis but she didn’t answer, I tried at least ten more time
s but the calls went straight to voicemail.  I tried calling my brother, Jerod, and Mitch but none of them answered either.  I had heard the music start for the stripping contest so I figured that they were all probably hanging out watching that show.  I looked around the crowd but couldn’t find anybody from my race team, I spotted Carley “Hey do you know where my race team is at?” I yelled over the music.  She shook her head no then turned and started talking to another lady.  I decided to go check the RV to see if they were there, I walked in the living room area and back to the bedroom.  Chassis was curled up on the bed sound asleep.  My stomach rolled at the thought of what I had done with Riley and how it was going to break Chassis heart for me to tell her.  I would wait until we left Boone on Saturday to do that, I wasn’t going to fight with her about it here.

I took a shower, then climbed into bed behind Chassis, I tried to curl my body around hers but she rolled onto her stomach and scooted away from me.  I knew that she had drunk a lot so I didn’t bother trying to pull her to me.  I rolled over and laid there staring at the ceiling, the picture of my son was embedded in my memory.  I laid there thinking about everything he was probably learning, I wondered if his adopted parents knew about me, I thought about the day that he may or may not want to meet me.

The following morning I woke up around ten o’clock, I stretched my arm across the bed but Chassis wasn’t there.  Scubbing my hands down my face I threw the covers back then got up and brushed my teeth and showered.  After getting dressed I went to the hauler, Mitch, Jerod, and Jason were all standing around talking and eating breakfast. 

“Where the hell did all of you run off to last night?” I asked as I looked through the Ihop bag until I found a couple of breakfast burritos.

“We couldn’t find you around one so we all decided to call it a night, Chassis and Asher were both tired and drunk so we figured it would be best to just go to bed.”  Mitch told me then took a big bite of pancakes doused in syrup.

“I got side tracked by Riley.” I told them around a mouth full of food.  “Where
are Chass and Asher anyways?  Chass wasn’t in the camper when I got up.”

Jason shook his head and glared at me, “Next time maybe you should answer your phone.” He told me.

I yanked the picture out of my back pocket and threw it on the decking of my car, “Well there’s my son.  Chase Michael.”

Jerod grabbed the picture
, “Shit man he’s like your mini-me.” He said then handed it to Jason who only nodded his head then let Mitch look at the picture.  He didn’t say anything just laid the picture back on the decking of my car. 

“So did you and Riley, kiss and make up?” Jason asked rudely.

Memories of the monumental fuck up flooded me, my stomach turned, I glared at Jason, “Fuck you man, she’ll leave me alone now at least.” I told him then walked into the hauler.  I tried calling Chass it rang four times then went to voice mail, I waited a few minutes and tried again only to be greeted with her beautiful voice,
“Hey it’s Chass leave a message and I’ll call you back.”
I hung up then sent her a text, *
Morning beautiful, where are you at?  I’ve tried to call u
* instantly the little 
delivered
word turned to
read.
While I waited for her to text me back I put my fire suit on and my race shoes.  I checked my phone again to see if she had sent anything back but she hadn’t. 

About an hour later I still hadn’t heard from Chassis, her and Asher were still gone and nobody seemed to know where they had went beside
s, “To town” was all Jason knew.  Over the P.A. system they announced that A-modified heat races would be starting in one hour.  The pit crew worked on tire pressure and spraying the car down with baby oil water to help keep the mud from building up on my car.  We hurried to get the car over to the inspection tent then back over to our trailer before they called for my class.  I put tear offs on my helmet and checked again to see if Chassis had text me back but she hadn’t. 

“What the fuck did they go to town for?  She hasn’t called or text me back.” I said to Jerod. 

“Not sure, Carley went too they are probably shopping would be my guess.”

I tried calling again when I got her voice mail I left her a message
, “Hey it’s me, I’ll be running heat races in about twenty minutes.  I love you.” I said then hung up.

Thirty minutes later they called for the A-
modified’s to line up at the staging area.  Jerod motioned for me that it was all clear to pull out of our pit stall, then walked off as I drove to the lineup area.  I was in the first heat race and would be starting on the third row inside.  They motioned for us to pull on to the track, after circling one time the green light stayed on.  The flag man waved the green flag and the guy in the race receiver yelled, “Green Green Green!”

The laps ticked off as I passed car after car, Cameron’s was set up perfect and the engine was bad fast.  With two laps to go I passed for the lead and pulled away from the rest of the field.
“Good clean racin' boys, the Fifty Two J, Jet Crow was the winner.  The A-qualifier will be right after the last modified heat race.” The guy told us as we pulled off the track to go through the scale area.  Once back at the trailer I backed my car into the pit stall, revved the engine a few times then shut it off.  Jason let my window net down.

“This beast looks like
its fucking fast.” He said with a big smile.

“Ha, that’s an understatement!” I told him after I pulled my helmet and fire proof sleeve off. 

I finally got out of the car, went to the trailer to get a bottle of water, “Has Chass and Asher came back yet?” I asked. 

“Uh yeah, they said they wanted to watch from the grandstand
s today.” Mitch told me.

“Why the fuck do they want to sit up there?” I asked then took a big drink of water.  I checked my phone Cha
ssis had sent me a text message, *
Good Job!
* ~ *
Thank yo
u
why are you in the grandstands though?
* ~ *
Just wanted to watch from here instead of doing all the walking.
* ~ *
I haven’t seen you today or even got to kiss your beautiful lips though
.* I waited for her reply but she never said anything back.  I walked out of the trailer to where the pit crew was looking over the car, Jason made air pressure adjustments while Mitch and Jerod finished scraping mud.  Everybody seemed to be unusually quiet, I figured it was due to the hangover they all probably had. 

Mom called me to see how the races had been going, when I told her that my main car was totaled she sounded like she was about ready to cry.  I assured her that I was fine and told her I had just ran a heat race and won it using Cameron’s back up car. 

“Tell your brother to keep me posted on how today goes and be careful Jet.  By the way how is Chassis doing?”
