DEAN SMIRKED AS HE WATCHED MAEVE WALK OUT OF HIS SHOWER with a towel wrapped around her body. she caught him starring "can i get some privacy?" she teased

he let out a small laugh "privacy? you want privacy after what we just did in there?" he grinned as he pointed to the shower and then looked down at the towel wrapped around his torso

"shut up" she grinned softly before dean's phone rang

"hand it to me?" he asked her as she was the closest to his phone. he noticed the way she started to grin, he furrowed his brows, but as he read the caller idea he instantly knew why

dean gripped his phone "yeah?" he answers

"yeah man, you wanna race tonight?" the voice on the other line spoke. maeve was quick enough to start getting ready

"yeah, you know i could use the money" dean spoke up as he watched the girl get ready

"you got four minutes, man" the voice spoke

"alright, i'll be there" dean replied with a grin

once he hung up, maeve was already dressed. although, she wasn't necessarily at her house, she had left over some black high waisted shorts, she also wore one of dean's classic plain white t-shirts, seeing as it was big on her she tied it into a shirt knot in the front making it into a crop top. when dean was ready the two raced out the door and into dean's nissan skyline gt-r "you better put on your seatbelt" he smirked

speeding and drifting through the streets of seattle, in exactly four minutes they made it to the secret street race. dean revved the engine and they slowly drove in, people moving out of the way to let him drive in and meet with the three other racers

as he parked, he glanced over to the girl in his passenger seat "come on" he tapped her thigh

maeve stepped out and walked in front of the car, she leaned on it as she watched dean walk up to tej "what's up tej?" he grinned as the two fist pumped

"what's happening dude?" tej matched dean's grin

"thanks for the invite" dean said

"no problem at all, man. uh, just remember me when you wax alright" tej replied

dean glanced back at the racers "they got deep pockets?" he asked

tej laughed "real deep"

the two turned around, tej eye's landed on maeve "hey, there sweetheart" he grinned at the girl

"hey tej" she matched his grin

"you still with this fool?" tej questioned jokingly

maeve chuckled softly, before dean spoke up "hey suki"

"wassup bullet" suki replied with a head nod "hey maeve, we missed you out here" she told the brunette who was leaned against dean's car

"what do you say we kick it a nickel?" dean spoke up

"perta claro, nobody said anything about raising the stakes" orange julius spoke up

dean glanced to tej, before walking up to julius "if that's the case, why don't you ask these nice people here to back out the line so you could go home?" he said calmly as the crowed started oohing. maeve grinned as she bit her bottom lip slightly

"ay, ay, ay, ay, ay" julius spoke up to shut up the crowd. making maeve chuckle, tej walked up next to dean, as julius turned around and agreed "okay, 35 large, three cinco. tomalo de ahi" he said as he handed tej the money

"seguro" dean spoke in spanish as he handed his money to tej before walking up to maeve, he placed his hands on either side of the hood of his car, right next to maeve's thighs, their faces just inches apart

she grinned "you know....i love it when you get all competitive" she teased as she played with the hem of his white t-shirt

dean let out a small laugh "i know you do" he grinned

she gripped his shirt and pulled him closer to her, closing the gap between them, their lips connected. dean didn't hesitate to kiss back. as she pulled away she noticed his smirk, she playfully rolled her eyes "go get em playboy" she grinned

"i'll win just for you" he winked, before pecking her lips once more

"hey mami, how about after i win, i get one of those kisses and a night with you" julius called out to maeve who was walking over to the side lines

maeve shook her head at dean, she didn't need for him to cause a fight "you know, your ass must get jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth" she spoke up as dean raised his brows in surprise, a grin tugging on his lips

"alright, back up, back up" tej told the crowd, but as they didn't listen, dean revved his engine making blue flames shoot out the tailpipe "yeah, yeah, back yall asses up before y'all turn into barbecue around here. this is not a game it's serious" tej called out "alright, back up, back up, get off the street, off the street. let's go, back up, back it up, keep your hands real real clear, alright? i got a surprise for you to see" tej said as he gripped maeve and moved her a little behind him

as the racers took off, everyone went running as they cheered

minutes passed and tej spoke up into his walkie-talkie "yo, jimmy hit it baby" the bright was rising up "ight, y'all see that, told y'all i had a surprise, how do you like that for a finale"

maeve began to worry, millions of thoughts ran through her head. she noticed slap jack's car fly up first, but her mouth parted when she seen dean's car completely fly over his car. both cars landing harshly, yet dean was in first place, seeing as slap jack's car crashed into the bushes beneath the pepsi billboard

dean came in first place as he drifted in, he caught eyes with maeve who let out a breath of relief yet excitement. he stepped out of the car, glanced at suki and gave her a head nod

he turned around to see maeve running towards him, he grinned as he caught her easily, her legs wrapped around his torso and arms around his neck. she let out a chuckle in excitement before she placed both hands on his face and connected their lips. dean didn't hesitate to kiss back, his hands were placed right on her bum, he gave it a slightly squeeze before maeve parted their lips "my lucky charm" he said with a grin as he placed her down, his hand placed around her waist

"tell me y'all saw that man. i need to stop making y'all pay to see this shit. i got over 10 stacks for my man right here" tej said as he held up the money "that's what i'm talking about, man" he said as he handed the money to dean "play with it" dean chuckled as he removed his hand from maeve's waist "smells good don't it?"

"yeah" he chuckled once more as he handed tej a small portion of the money

"y'all see this, everyone take a real good look. this is what you call mutual respect" he said as he showed the crowd the money "alright let's clear out"

the crowd slowly started to part way "what should we do with the money?" dean questioned maeve as he wrapped his hands around her body. she smiled "i could take you anywhere you wanna go, baby. cancún? you always wanted to go there" he piped up

she smiled as she turned around in his hands, to face him "you need to put that money in the bank" she pointed out

he rolled his eyes "remember when we were dating and we agreed that the money i win, is for us to spend together? well that still stands, even if we aren't dating" he teased

maeve furrowed her brows "i never agreed to that" she said

"shh" he grinned, before it immediately fell as he heard the police sirens "fuck, get in the car, now!" he rushes out

the two immediately got into the car, and drove away, they thought they were in the clear, up until a cop car was coming their direction. he sped away, but the cop car quickly turned around and started following the two. dean was drifting through the streets trying to lose the cop, successfully he made the one chasing them crash into another vehicle

dean let out a laugh, before maeve's eyes widen "d-dean!" she spoke up as she pointed at the cop car that was waiting for them

"oh shit" he mumbles as he see's the cop with a esd harpoon launcher. he tried to drift away, but the cop launches the harpoon. making the engine in dean's car disable, due to all the electronic components

dean was losing control of the car, the brakes nor anything was working, causing the car to crash into a speeding meter, the car coming to a complete stop. he turned to maeve to check if she was okay "we're so screwed" she mumbles as the police officers surrounded the nissan skyline

"let me see your hands, put them up" the officer warned

♥︎

maeve and dean were placed in a cell together. she had to call the one person she was dreading to call, her father, mark sloan

"maeve sloan" the police officer spoke up as he walked over to the cell and unlocked it

"w-wait, what about-

"mr. sloan only bailed you out" the officer cut her off

"n-no-

"maeve, go. get out of here" dean spoke calmly

"i'll fix this" she said as she glanced back at him

the officer walked her out, the moment she came eye to eye with a furious mark sloan, she wished she'd call someone else instead "thank you" mark spoke up as the officer brought maeve to him. he glanced down at her "let's go"

she stood her ground "no, not until you bail out dean" she spoke

mark harshly glanced back at her "are you serious right now? you were in here because of him!"

"i was in here because, i choose to go with him. he didn't make me do anything!" she replied before sighing "dad please, i don't want to risk him losing his medical license" she spoke

"that was his choice, he should've known better" mark pointed out, a vein slightly poking out

"dad, please. i'll do anything, just please bail him out, or take me home so i can get my money" she pleaded

a thought came into mark's head "i don't understand you" he shook his head "that piece of s-...he broke your heart, he cheated on you and you cried for days. yet here you are, dating him once again"

"don't be a hypocrite" she scoffed "how many times have you hurt lexie? how many times has she forgave you for all the stupid shit you've done!"

mark slowly nodded "the difference between me and him, is that i actually care about lexie. dean doesn't care about you, he's just using you"

"and how would you know?" maeve raised her voice slightly, the tears stinging in her eyes

"because i've been him. do you honestly think that he won't cheat on you again?" he questioned "i'm trying to protect you here" she scoffed as she shook her head

mark walked up to the officer's front desk, maeve furrowed her brows, minutes passed before the officer led mark sloan into the back room where the cells were. he knew that after what he was going to do, she was going to hate him. but he was only doing what's best for her

"salvatore, you have a visitor" the officer called out, making dean furrow his brows

"just walk out when your done" the officer told mark as he walked in front of the gate

"sloan, i-i didn't mean—

"don't" mark cut him off "you know, going to jail, could possibly make you lose your medical license" mark spoke and dean nodded his head "i could prevent that. i could bail you out...under one condition"

dean furrowed his brows "and what is that?" he questioned

"stay away from maeve" he said, making dean's heart sink "in less than a few weeks, she's going to be leaving to film in vancouver. don't ruin that for her, don't ruin her dreams by getting her locked up. she deserves better and you know that" dean shook his head slowly "do the right thing here dean. you already broke her heart once, don't do it a second time"

he's right, dean thought. all he does is just drag the girl down. after a few seconds of taking everything he nods slowly "okay...you win. i'll leave her alone"

after paying his bail, the two walked out, maeve was quick to stand up and meet with dean, before she could say anything he spoke up "i gotta make a call, wait for me outside" he said, she furrowed her brows at the tone of his voice, it was different, heartbreaking even

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

mark and maeve walked out of the police station "i'll wait in the car" mark said as he walked away

she furrowed her brows at mark's actions. after a few minutes, dean walked out. he glanced over to find maeve leaning against the building. he sighs before walking towards her

maeve turned her head and smiled softly as he walked to stand next to her. she leaned her head on his shoulder "i'm glad, he bailed you out" she said softly as she intertwined their hands "shall we go back to your place?" she said softly as she lifted her chin and placed it on his forearm. dean dreaded this moment, he wishes he could go back in time and reject tej's offer. he felt his eyes start to sting slightly "hey, what's wrong?" she questioned worriedly as she pushed herself up the wall and stood in front of him, hands still intertwined

dean cleared his throat "i-uh. i want to tell you something, and i always want you to remember it okay?" he asked as he let go of her hands to place his hands on her each side of her cheeks

"okay" she whispered, her heart started to beat fast

"i just wanted you to know, that you are by the far the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. and when i picture myself happy, it's with you" he said in all honesty, his eyes roamed to her sad eyes "but, i think it's time i let you go" maeve felt her heart sink "and that's so hard to do because i love you. and some part of me will be in love with you for the rest of my life" his heart sank when he seen a few tears roll down her cheeks, he wasted no time in wiping them away. he leaned down to connect their lips one last time. as he pulled away he brushes a strand of her hair away "goodbye, maeve"

he turned to walk away, but a hand wrapped around his arm "please don't leave me" he heard her broken voice, he could just imagine the tears rolling down her soft cheeks "not you, please" she shook her head as she walked in front of him to stop him. he was right, tears were streaming down her cheeks. maeve noticed the tear that fell from his "please don't leave me" she hugged him

a car pulled up outside the police station, it was tej. he looked down at the crying girl, who had her arms around his torso "i don't have choice, baby" he kissed her head one last time before pulling away from her "bye" he whispered softly before walking away from the girl he loved most in this world

maeve watched him leave while tears streamed down her cheeks, call her dramatic or whatever but she felt a piece of her heart walk away with him. she slowly walked towards mark's car, he stepped out "what happened?" he asked

she scoffed "don't act like you didn't do this" she shook her head as fresh tears fell from her eyes "i will never forgive you for this" she said, her voice slightly breaking
