Perfect?
"Can you forget
Can you forgive,
We'll have it
Together...
Did you know it?
I've been dying to see you,
Did you know it?
I've been dying to tell you,
I'll love you
Forever..."
Listening to Judistic's dark rock songs like heaven to Joseph. Judistic is new but her dark songs are very famous although no one has ever seen the face as she is a mystery. Her voice is the only thing keeping him sane from work and reality.
Today is literally a hectic day for him as not only he had two meetings with the clients for his company as well as his one employee from accountant department got busted by him as the person was trying to fly with these year's profit.
He is really strict when it comes to his company. So, the whole day he couldn't eat or take rest.
Now that he is having his rest, his mother comes and tells him to go the blind date she arranged for him. His mother wants him to marry a girl and be happy as he is very workaholic and his last girlfriend dumped him for another rich guy three years ago.
Since then Joseph buried himself under his work without having any love life or even family life.
Now his mother is desperate to find him a perfect wife. So, she was associating with her friends and found three matches and picked up one girl and arranged without telling him. Knowing Joseph, he will never go on a date with any girl. He expresses bitterness when it comes to dating.
"I am not going. This is her?" Joseph takes the photo from her mother and says, "She is very typical. I am not going. Look at her. She doesn't even wear shorts."
"Why would a girl send her photo in shorts, if she is going to date? Perfect attire is a name of perfection. And she's a beauty."
"Mom, I am not going. I have other works."
"I thought you were resting. And didn't mention about work."
"I am going to the race that will be happening tonight, it is a work too." He heard from Judistic's tweeter posts to her followers, she will be coming there as a ghost, so he made that an excuse to go to the race to avoid the blind date.
"That is called an excuse. You are going to meet her. I'm not taking any excuses."
"No, I don't like her. See's looking like, she can't even walk in heels or drive a... Bike. I want a daring one, not typical goody two shades."
"What? Why Bike? She can drive a car. A car is better than a bike. And what's wrong with goody two shades?"
"No, every typical person can drive a car. I want lasagna not everyday meal, thank you very much." His continues complaints and excuses making his mother very angry as she knew he was just giving excuses to get away.
Her anger bursts, "Josheph Harvard, I am not going to listen any of your excuses today. You are going there and meeting her."
Joseph maybe 30 years old but when her mother gets angry she's out of control; a demon in disguise. His father also fears her when she gets angry.
Joseph's father comes and says, "Son, just go. After meeting you can reject her."
He nods and finally at the meeting point, he was waiting for this girl, Laurel Stephens.
"Hi."
Joseph turns to see and finds a girl who is the very same girl he saw in the picture but her hair is short, reaches her shoulders, wearing crop loose top with high waisted ripped jeans. And she had a tattoo on her left collarbone reaches her chest; dragon tattoo.
"Hi? You are Laurel?"
"Yep, I am. You must be Joseph. I've heard of you and saw you in a few magazines. You're pretty famous you know that?" She talks very fast and Joseph didn't expect that but he will turn her down anyway.
"Hm... So you are here because I am famous?" Up until now, everyone used him somehow. He expects same from this girl too.
"What? No. My mom actually forced me because honestly, I am not good for a relationship. Either they found me unattractive and unsocial as my appearance and all is dejected. You can see, they leave me, but I worry less cause I have my own thrills." She says without taking a break.
"Ok. So, where do you wanna go? I mean I would like to know the thrills." Although he doesn't want to but got curious about her thrills as he didn't do any thrills for over three years.
"You sure? I mean you won't complain right?" She asks.
"No, I won't."
"You have a car?"
"Yes, why?"
"Because I didn't take mine. Listen, you can't complain later."
"I won't."
"Then let's go." She takes the key and gets in the driver seat while he takes the passenger seat.
"Okay, I want you to cover your face. You're too famous to go there." She tells when he covers his face and curiosity taking over him.
She drives smoothly and reached a ground, where many people and many cars around. It doesn't take him long to assume, she will be racing.
"Don't tell me you're going to race."
"Why? You afraid?"
"No, I just don't want to get killed."
She laughs out loud and says, "Don't underestimate girl's power."
She takes her place on the road when crowd cheering for them. In the track, 4 cars including them present.
When the horns blow, she accelerates and flows past the other three. The speed limit is exceeding as Joseph never done this in his entire life.
Where his heart is going to burst out from this intensity, Laurel seemed so unfazed by it only smirking while her eyes at the track.
"Laurel, I don't want to die. Stop the car." He shouts.
"What? Nope. I am not going to stop. I told you, can't complain now." She flew past lap one.
But soon he finds it crazy when they are the first one to cross the second lap "Damn! This is awesome."
"You're liking already? I thought you were complaining." She teases him.
"No, we gotta need some music." He switches on his player, the last song was Judistic's. He increases the volume when the beats start to blow, their hearts connect with it.
"You like the song?" She asks.
"Hell, ya." Adrenalin pumping high he is enjoying the thrills for the first time. They both seem to get along very well when she crosses the final lap, 1st place.
"That was fucking awesome." He exclaims.
The crowd cheers, Judistic, Judistic, Judistic.
He looks questioningly, "Judistic?"
"That's what my name is..."
