Chapter Twenty-Nine

�You gonna stick by me?�

�Maybe��

**

�Whose idea was this again?� I muttered to myself as I leaned against my car, trying to look like I was into Amber, trying to remember how to flirt with a girl that wasn�t Letty.

�Mia�s,� she replied shortly, crossing her legs as she stared over my shoulder. �The same one who always comes up with the big plans.�

�Isn�t that Letty�s skirt?� I wondered aloud.

�Hmm?� Amber replied, distracted. �Oh. Yeah, it is. Mia and her decided I didn�t really have anything appropriate for a race whore. Not that either of them really do either, but somehow between the three of us we managed to come up with an outfit. Do I look slutty enough?�

�Let�s see,� I said, looking her up and down. �Leather skirt that�s too short on Letty, who�s at least two inches shorter than you� I don�t know if you could even call that other thing a top, it�s so little� Do you look slutty enough? Yeah, you do. Now all you have to do is come a little closer, look like you�d be willing to fuck me in the middle of the street if I wanted you to, and we�re good to go.�

�Some ladies man you are,� Amber muttered to herself, laughing a little. �You talk to Letty like that?�

�Shit, Amber,� I laughed. �You know Letty�she�s a million times raunchier than me!�

�Yeah, okay, you�re right,� she had to admit.

�Okay,� I said, reaching a hand out to grab Amber�s waist and pull her closer to me. �I guess we should just get this shit over with already.�

�Yeah, you�re probably right,� she sighed. �But damn�do I really have to kiss you?�

�Don�t sound so excited about it, now,� I muttered.

�Sorry Dom!� she laughed. �But you know�it�s just�ick!�

�Yeah�not exactly my idea of a good time either, you know? So,� I continued, pulling her so she stood between my legs, right up against me, �the thought of kissing me�s really that bad, huh?�

�Well,� Amber replied after a few seconds, running her hands down my chest and letting them rest in my lap. �You�re not all that bad looking, I guess�but kissing you? Just�ugh.�

�Not all that bad looking?� I asked, incredulous. �Never heard that from a chick before� So�you really don�t think I�m hot?�

�Uhm�no.�

I just sat there for a second, playing with the waistband of her skirt, remembering the last time Letty�d worn it. �Well,� I finally replied. �I don�t think you�re hot either.�

�That�s good,� she replied, laughing.

�Why�s that?�

��Cause Letty would kick your ass if she heard you say you thought another girl was hot, and you know it!�

�What�d I do to deserve this abuse?� I muttered to myself as Amber leaned into me, kissing me.

�Hey, Dom�� someone said off to the side.

�Hector!� I replied, pushing Amber away from me a little. Maybe I said his name too loud or something, �cause Hector took a quick step back, like he didn�t want to be the one to interrupt me. �What�s up, man? Derek show up yet?�

�Yeah, man, he just got here. So, you ready to go do this thing?�

�Yeah, yeah, let�s go,� I said before leaning over to kiss Amber. �I�ll see you after the race,� I growled at her, trying to act like I wasn�t cringing inside.

�So, uh�who�s the girl?� Hector asked as we walked over to meet up with the other guys and settle the terms of the race.

�Her? Oh, that�s Amber. Pretty nice piece of ass, huh?�

�Not bad, not bad,� Hector said appreciatively, looking back at her. �What happened with you and Letty, though? You two�ve been looking real serious, lately.�

�Serious? Nah, man�we weren�t serious. Just fucking around, you know how it is.�
