Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4

CARMELA'S POV

I should have just stayed home and binge watch a new show on Netflix. Going out with your brother is one of the worst decision you can ever make in life.

I actually thought he was going to let me race, but here I am watching him and his friends drink and bet on races.

We were sitting at a VIP area, were the race is much visible. I'm sitting in between Miguel and one of his sluts, who has been trying to get his attention the whole time. He had insisted on keeping me close.

Miguel suddenly stood up. "Where are you going?" I asked yelling, cause of the loud music.

He bent down to my level, so I could hear him better. "I have a race coming up. I need to prepare" He replied also yelling.

"Well I'm coming with you" I said picking up my bag from the table.

He was about to protest "You are not seriously going to leave me here with all this unknown friends that you have?" I asked giving him a 'really" look.

He retreated and walked away and I followed closely behind.

We arrived at something that looked like an underground garage and I am wowed. The Cars, every single one of them is marvelous. Ferrari SF90 stradale, McLaren P1, Lamborghini Huracán Peformate, Aston Martin Valkyrie, Mazda RX-7...

"Miguel, my man" Someone said pulling me out of my thoughts, I looked up to see a guy in a mechanic jumper. They shook hands and hugged.

"Who's this?" He asked looking at me. "My younger sister." I waved from where I stood with a smile, he waved back.

"Is the car ready?" Miguel asked.

"Yeah it is." "Should I drive the car up front?" He asked.

"Yeah. I would meet you there" They gave each other one last hug before the guy left.

"So listen up" Miguel said taking a stance in front of me. I rolled my eyes. Is he trying to lecture me?

"I have a game coming up with one of my biggest rivals and I wouldn't want Bruno to snap my neck or beat me up if something happens to you, so you are going to stay very close by, next to Josh" He said. Bruno is my second brother and he is the overprotective brother.

"Who's Josh?" I asked.

"The guy that just left." He answered.

"Do you copy?" He asked with a smile. I rolled my eyes. They all treat me like I'm 10 or younger. I'm 21 not a kid.

"Whatever" I replied.

**************************

It's few minutes to the start of the race but Miguel is no where to be found. I stood by the car at Miguel side of the race track. I've got to say, Miguel has an eye for cars. This car is still one of my favorites. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, 330-350+ mph in speed.

"Ladies and gentlemen please settle down, the most anticipated race for tonight is about to start" A voice boomed from the speakers around.

I guess this race really means a lot. Where the hell is Miguel?

Wait, why do I have to stand at the side line and watch Miguel race? I shook my head. Carmela what the hell are you thinking? But still I really want to drive this car.

I looked around to make sure no one was watching, I slipped into the driver seat of the car and buckled. Since Miguel is no where to be found I might as well win this race for him.

"The contestant should please drive their cars to the start line" The voice boomed again.

I started the car and drove to the start line. The cars window is a tinted one which I'm really grateful for. I made sure all the windows were up so no one could spot me.

I watched the other races. I know how they run things. We are just driving round the dome three times. And the drifting also matters. It's just a matter of first to finish.

I looked at my side and I saw the other car. I could see outside but no one can see inside. My opponent and I made eye contact, he smiled and gave me his middle finger. What the hell? What did Miguel do to this guy?

A lady came in between the car with a flag. heel clicking, she raised her flag. The auditorium was dead silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's about to go down. The long awaited game between the number one best, Falcon and his opponent the owner of this very place, Phantom." The same voice from earlier announced.

I turned the car and the engine came to life. My eyes were locked on the lady. She calls the shot

She waved her flag down.

GO.

ALESSANDRO'S POV

It's still amazing how I let Antonio otherwise known as Falcon convince me into coming with him tonight. Now I'm sitted here forced to watch his.

Though I would admit it's an intense match. They've been neck to neck since they started but I heard my brother has never lost.

They've gone round once with my brother leading I think this would be the second. Phantom which is Miguel drifts so smoothly but for some reason he has never won against Antonio.

They are so close to the finish line they are neck to neck again. One last drift before the finish line.

The crowd erupted in loud cheer while some remained sitted all shocked. Who wouldn't be? No one has ever beaten Antonio. But now Miguel did.

I walked towards the start line where the cars stopped. Antonio stepped out, red from embarrassment.

I stood by his side waiting for Miguel to step out. Wait! That's not Miguel. It's a lady actually and she looks awfully familiar.

"What the hell where you thinking?" Someone yelled, I turned around to see Miguel. He looked very angry.

"Geez would you let me live a little? I won the race for you." The lady said with a smile. She's probably one of his girlfriend.

"What? You don't have the balls to face me now? You got a girl running your race for you?" Antonio said. He was ready to challenge and face Miguel head on.

"We'll settle this later." That was all Miguel said he didn't even pay any attention to my brother. He walked around us and the car to meet up with the lady.

"You are in big trouble." He said before pulling the lady away. What was that?
