I sit beside Brian in his Skyline that's now, well, mine. It's all so nostalgic. It reminds me so much of what we had before and I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Tension looms in the car as we drive through the crowd of people at the meet, lines of people waiting to race.

"How's Letty?" I question, Breaking the silence. Brian looks at me from the passenger seat. I find some relief knowing only Tej is listening, not jay this time, he's on a rooftop.

"Angry, but she'll come around." He smiles, I nod approaching the start of a quarter mile. If Lopez is here, we have to catch his attention. Brian's fingers reach for the volume button, turning it up the song 'how bad do you want it' fills the car.

As I line up with the other cars, I notice once again that it is all men. All of them smirking as they catch sight of Brian in the passenger seat.

"You got this." Brian nods, boosting my ego and some how having him beside me makes me feel like that's true.

***

After winning the race, Brian and I get out the car. Large smiles plastered across our faces.

"See, I told you." Brian chuckles bringing me into a hug. I accept it, almost forgetting we're undercover. It just felt like no time had past. It's good, but it also feels like I'm an actor playing someone I used to be.

The races judge approaches us with a bag of money, smiling Brian and I look around Subtlety. My eyes fall on Lopez, he stands by a car. I tap Brian signaling for him to get back in the car. We both do, and I'm instantly driving toward Lopez, but I have to play at off as if we're just parking up to watch the next race.

Lopez stares at Brian and I. There's only one thing I can think of to play it off. A couple, who are excited about winning a race. Ignoring how guilty it makes me feel, I lay my hand on Brian's thigh, and slowly lean over him. Taking him by surprise, i press a kiss to his neck, just below his ear.

"Play along, he's watching on your left." I whisper pressing another kiss to his neck. Guilt trickles down my spine as Brian's hands find themselves on my waist. My breath catches in my throat, but my stomach spins... Jays watching.

Pulling away i stare into his eyes, the ghost of butterflies fluttering in my stomach only intensifying the guilt consuming me at the thought of Jay watching this unfold.

Brian takes the chance, closing the Gap between us. Our lips meet, he cups my cheeks. Guilt eats me up from the inside, growing worse as I find myself enjoying the kiss.

I can feel the dark blush across my cheeks as I break the kiss. Guilt and embarrassment encasing my bones.

"Come on." I mutter getting out the car, almost trying to escape from my own actions. Brian follows me as I instantly catch sight of Lopez stood by the car beside us.

"Kelsey? You were working with my people?" Lopez states walking up to us. Brian leans against the nissan, pulling me to stand between his legs... his arms instinctively finding themselves around my waist.

"Yeah. They didn't listen to me, got themselves caught. At that point it's every man for themselves you know?" I shrug leaning into Brian's embrace.

"Who's this?" Lopez nods toward Brian.

"Brian Earl Spilner, my boyfriend." It almost makes me cringe saying the name or should I say undercover name Brian had when we originally met.

"Hm, saw you race. He as good?" Lopez asks, i smirk turning my head back toward Brian.

"He's better." My hand going down to Brian's our fingers intertwining.

"You still need a job?" Lopez questions.

"We both do." Brian shrugs, pressing a kiss to my cheek. God he's really playing into this the cheeky bastard.

"I have a bar a few blocks from here, I'll meet you there tomorrow." Lopez states nodding toward Brian and I.

I nod watching as Lopez turns to get back into his car. And as he does, an overwhelming sense of guilt fills my body. Oh, jay. I'm so sorry.
