Race 13

"How many days have you received death threats? "my older brother calmly asked me.

"Three days." I answered sparingly.

"Why didn't you let Danny and I know right away? " I let out a deep sigh.

"I don't want you to worry. I also hired a private detective for this case."

Danny tsked.

"Okay, I wish you had informed us as soon as possible, so that we can protect you immediately. You actually waited for the dead animal to be sent to you before letting us know. "He shook his head.

There was a big dead rat in that box and there were also roses stuck in the stomach, so its blood was leaking inside the box.

Disgusting!

"Sorry, if I didn't let you know." that's all I said, since I was tired of talking to them.

And it's also stressful to look at my brother when he sees that he's having problems with my problems.

"Tonight I will send your new bodyguards for your protection. Maybe it's not just your opponent's fans sending you. In how many years have you been in your career, this is the first time someone has sent you death threats? " He said.

I glanced at the wrist watch, it passed twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

"Brother, I'm leaving. " I stood up.

He frowned.

"Where are you going? Our conversation is not over yet. What else will happen to you if you leave without bodyguards? "

I took my duffle bag on the swivel chair next to me. I got closer to my brother to kiss his cheek.

"I'm hungry bro, it's twelve o'clock. I need to eat because the stress that is happening now and the day before is making me hungry." I said.

"I will send my driver, Leo, with you. To reassure me."

I will reject my brother's offer to take his driver with me because Randy is too pushy. I just gave in, I understood that it was for my own safety.

Randy's driver is 45 years old and a retired lieutenant in the Philippine Army. So he is not just my brother's driver.

I just delivered it to a cafe not far from the office.

"Leo, the cafe is not far from the office. You can go back there first. Maybe my brother needs you. I'll just call you when I get picked up. " Leo doubted if he would obey my order.

"Don't worry, I'll just eat lunch here. " I assured him.

Because of his loyalty to my brother and he doesn't want anything to happen to my brother. I convinced him to return to the office.

So I clapped for joy when I saw that the car he was driving had left.

I faced the cafe door to open it but a familiar face appeared in front of me. I haven't seen him in a few days, so what joy I feel in my chest when our eyes meet.

There was a sparkle in his eyes when we met.

Am I imagining things? Because I haven't seen it for a few days.

I took a step back and accidentally tripped. I was about to fall on the cold ground when I felt a warm arm wrapped around my waist. My heart was beating fast, his face was close to mine.

My eyes looked at his lips, I swallowed my own saliva. I looked back into his eyes and noticed he was staring at my lips. Then his gaze immediately returned to my eyes.

He pulled me closer to him so I could stand properly. I could barely catch my breath as my lips almost touched his.

I groaned a little bit, I gently pushed him away. I cleared my throat and I fixed my clothes.

"And we met again. " He said with a smile while his hands were in his pants' pockets.

"Y-Yeah..." I looked at what he was wearing, he wasn't wearing a suit. He is now wearing a white V-neck T-shirt with a black leather jacket and denim pants. His hair is also messy. I'm not used to seeing his hair like that. I'm used to seeing his hair styled during events or maybe he's wearing his suit.

But he is even more handsome in his appearance now. He looks hot now, he looks like a bad boy in his current state.

My cheeks are hot, gad! Why did I imagine him like the man I read in the novel?

He snapped his fingers in front of my face.

"Red on Earth. " I blinked.

"W-What?" he smirked.

"Are you in love with me now? "He said arrogantly while he wiggled his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes and pushed him away from the front door of the cafe so I could go inside.

"Aww! You're really snobbish and mean to me, " he said dramatically.

I ignored him and just looked for a vacant table when I entered.

I didn't notice that he followed me, I only noticed him when he sat in front of me.

I glared at him.

"What do you want? We meet again and then you will tease me. Every time we meet, you really like to tease me. For Gaddaman's sake, even just now, gives me peace of mind. Just please! " He pouted his lips.

"Tsk, be my girl. So that you can find your peace of mind with me. " I raised my eyebrows at what he said.

He smiles crooked at me.

"What did you say? " I asked him while my brain was still processing what he said.

"I'm just kidding. " he laughed awkwardly.

I just shook my head and read the cafe's menu.

I just ordered pesto pasta and a little chocolate frappe. It was hard to eat because of the man in front of me. He watches every morsel of food in my mouth. I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. I put down the cutlery I was holding. And glared at him.

"How long will you watch me eat? "I said to him in annoyance.

"Even when you are eating, you are also beautiful to look at, " he said in amusement.

I tsked.

I wiped my mouth with a table napkin. And I looked into his eyes,

"Let's go straight to the point. Do you want something from me? Or let's say do you like me?" He just cleared his throat and sat straight.

His face suddenly became serious.

"If I say, yes, I like you. Can you do something? " I gasped for air because of the strength of my heartbeat when he said that.

Gad! What's wrong with me?!

"I just want you to be special. But there is no very specific label. " my brows furrowed.

"What is the special perk without a specific label? " I asked, confused.

"Oh, are you interested? " I scoffed.

"Why? Is it not allowed to ask what you are talking about? " He smiled playfully.

"Well,this special relationship between the two of us that doesn't have a specific label will be my doll toy but with benefits, " he said.

It's a mess that he's talking about or I just don't get what he's saying.

" Huh? " That's all I said.

"In other words, you are like a doll that can be dressed and undressed. "

"Pervert!" I hissed as I stood up and, without realizing it, I hit the table so hard that other customers turned to us.

I sat down again because of shame. While I didn't take my eyes off him.

"If this is one of your jokes. Please, Easton, I don't have time to joke with you like that. "

"Chill and relax, baby. I just told you wrong. I just want to be your fling. "

After I ate, the two of us had a conversation that made no sense a while ago.

He offered to take me to my condo, since I didn't have a car because Leo just drove me here. I couldn't do anything but ride his motorcycle.

I didn't expect that he also knew how to ride a motorcycle. The BMW K 1600 GTL is one of the most expensive motorcycles in the world.

The speed of his motor was accelerated even more. This fool is still showing off. I don't care if he speeds up, since I'm used to this.

I'm a car racer so I'm very used to this.

But I couldn't forget what we were talking about.

He offered me to be his fling.

This guy is really crazy. Whatever he was saying.

Easton was still running fast, we still reached the green light. But there was a black van that was going to join us. The traffic light on their side didn't even have a go signal. He was speeding towards us. Easton was trying to overtake the motorcycle but the van hit us.

I felt like I heard a deafening silence, as my body flew into the air before I fell to the road.

I feel the pain and agony in my body.

Easton slowly came closer to me even though he was also writhing in pain.

I couldn't hear him calling me. It was deafening.

It's like my soul is separated from my body.

"R-Red, R-Red. "Little by little I hear him calling me.

He picked me up and hugged me tightly.

"E-East—"

And suddenly my vision went dark.
