BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Chloe Regens

“Angel this is not a tracking race!” Luke literally panic, he sat beside her but his face got pale.

“Luke I got this, seriously.”

“How can Alex handle this? How can he’s not panic?” Luke commented.

“He’s not different than you Luke, he even take all the car keys and bring it all to the office which is stupid.” Angel said and slow down a little bit. They both sure bicker.

On the other hand, me and Ken is stay silent. Actually I’m sleepy because last night I stay late. I closed my eyes and lean my head to the window but ended up crashing my head a few times because Angel’s driving skill.

“Awww.” I hit my head hard.

“What’s wrong?” Luke asked.

“I hit my head to the window.” I said.

“Slow down, Angel.” Ken said.

“Sorry sorry, okay fine. I’m sorry.” Angel apologized.

“It’s fine.” I said.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

After that Ken, Angel and Luke starting to talk about business thing. I closed my eyes and lean my head back because I’m afraid if I lean my head to the window again I might get a big bruise on my head.

As I’m almost going to dreamland, I felt Ken pulling my shoulder gently and putting me on his lap. That’s where I go to dreamland right away.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw the front seat are empty. I was shocked so I got up right away.

“They went to get coffee.” I turned to see Ken closing his eyes and leaned his head to the window.

“Thankyou for letting me sleep.” I said but he stayed silent, I sat closer to him and leaned my head to his shoulder.

“Do you want anything?” I asked and felt so nice to lean to his shoulder like this.

“I already ask Luke to buy it.” He answered.

“I asked him to buy you an iced Americano.” I turned to him but he still got his eyes close.

“Thanks.” I smiled.

“How’s work with Angel?” He asked.

“Good, she’s really nice and I really love the job.” I answered and leaned my head to his shoulder again.

“Good to hear that.” I smiled widely and felt my heartbeat was beating weirdly. I felt the warmness slowly creeping my body.

“Why makes you change your mind?” I asked.

“What?”

“Coming with us to Tennessee.”

“Need a vacation.” After that silence surround us, I looked at the front seat and decided that I’ll drive for the next turn. I looked at Ken who looked so tired. I reached for my bag and took the blanket out. I put it on Ken so he won’t get cold. I get out from the car and walked to the driver side. I waited for the others to come and not long after that the A couple came back to the car.

“Let me drive, you all can rest because I already sleep.” I said to Angel and Alex.

“Let me company you.” Angel said and I nodded. I started to drive and I talked with Angel about work. I looked at the mirror and found Alex and Ken sleeping.

“Thankyou for this” I pointed at the coffee.

“It’s okay, sorry about the drive earlier.” She apologized and I chuckled slowly afraid to wake the guys up.

“It’s fine but do you really race?” I asked.

“Yeah, I race and I love it.” Angel answered.

“What makes you like it?”

“The adrenaline rush, it’s incredible and really challenging.” She said excited.

“You still racing until now?”

“No, Alex doesn’t like it and it’s quite dangerous for me. I listen to him so he wouldn’t be sad and I mean he wants the best for me and why not listening to that?” She smiled and I chuckled.

“I once try to ride a bike once.”

“Really? You race?”

“My ex-boyfriend loves it and he has a community.” I said.

“Bike is 2 times danger than car.”

“You’re right but he used to take me on a long ride. Looking for a beautiful view and just enjoying the breeze.” Remembering the past was quite interesting.

“Angel if you’re sleepy, go to sleep right away. I’m fine.” I said and she shook her head.

“Go to sleep.” I said and I took my iPod. I plugged my earphone into my ears, I patted Angel to rest because she yawned a few times already. I turned out a loud music and kept driving. I looked at the rearview mirror to check Ken and Alex. They’re both still sleeping soundly and I smiled seeing Ken look so peacefull when he sleeps.

I focused myself on driving, we all driving side by side. I kept drinking my coffee and yes I’m awake big time. I felt a poke on my shoulder. I looked at the rearview mirror and found Ken already awake.

“What?” I asked.

“Pull aside and switch with me.” He said.

“I’m fine.” I said suddenly his phone rang. He answered it quickly,

“Okay..” He only said that and ended the call.

“Stop at the gas station, rest for awhile.” Ken said to me and I nodded. I followed Aaron’s jeep in front of me. They turned to the gas station. It’s already 9 hours drive and we still have 6 hours driver left. It’s already 3 o’clock.

I got out from the car and stretched my body. 3 hours of driving non-stop sure got me good. Ken suddenly put my blanket on my head causing me to jump a little.

“Thanks.” He said and I quickly took it off and threw it inside the car again. The boys filled the gas and the girls decided to eat waffles.

“6 hours to go.” Rose said.

“It’s fun though.” Alissa scooped her ice cream and ate it.

“Should we go by couple after this?” Sophia suggested.

“Yeah.” Hailey agreed.

“Ken let her sleep on his lap earlier, I rarely see Ken so nice like that.” Angel said and Rose eyed me. She smirked.

“Really?” Janet asked.

“It’s nothing.” I sipped my milkshake.

“That’s rare Chloe, there’s no ‘nice’ word in Ken’s dictionary.” Sophia said.

“He only bang them.” Hailey said.

“It means you’re special.” Rose let out her voice and smile widely.
