Pole Position

  My second year of college, in true tradition we had a party to welcome the newbies to campus. This party was different though, I was playing R-factor with my cousin and roommates (also some of my pit crew), when I heard two ladies talking outside the door. The hair on the back of my neck stood up when I heard one of them laugh. I turned around to see one tall blonde gal and a black haired gal standing in the door way. Her friend pulled her away before I could get another good look at her though. We raced for a while longer then decided to join the party that was going on. I looked around the room for the girl with jet black hair, she was standing by the keg with Lance, Mitch and the blonde girl from earlier. I watched her as she blushed each time Lance would lean down and whisper something to her, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I asked a few of the guys if they knew who she was, all they would say is “It looks like the jock gets her first.” They said talking about Lance. “Right, like Crazy fucking Carey will have any part of letting Lance get close to another chic.” I replied. Lance caught her cheating on him mid semester last year, he broke up with her but she wouldn’t leave him alone. She turned psychotic, and would practically scratch another woman’s eyes out for even looking at Lance.

  As the party carried on I made my way over towards the keg, Lance had his arm wrapped around her waist as they all laughed about something Mitch said. I grabbed a cup, filled it up with the cheap ass beer.

  Mitch elbowed me, “You find any big sponsors yet?”

  I nodded my head, “A few, I will know more next week though.” I told him.

  I looked over at Lance and nodded my head, when I looked at the girl standing there I was instantly hard. Her long black hair fell just about to the middle of her back, her lips were perfect I could just imagine what that shiny lip gloss tasted like. But her eyes, those eyes, were something that I will never forget, she had one baby blue eye and one slightly grey eye. I stood there staring at her as she blushed and looked away to talk to her friend. I watched her as she walked away to go use the bathroom, her body was fucking perfect. She was petite but had an athletic build to her, just as I was about to follow her Lance bumped shoulders with me.

  “I don’t think so JET, that’s mine.” He said with a grin. I knew it was just a matter of time though before Carey found him and went ape shit on him.

  “I’m sure Carey will have something to say about that.” I laughed and walked away.

  Lance was a star football player, him and I were almost the exact same height and build. Numerous women thought I played football for the college, when I told them ‘no’ they would usually leave me alone. What they didn’t know is I was this size because if I wasn’t working on my race car, racing, or catching up on school work, I was hitting the gym. I used my time at the gym as a stress reliever when I didn’t race. My stress..was my dad and the way he treated us growing up, I hated everything about my own dad.

  The party carried on, but a hot little red head managed to catch my attention when she invited me back to her dorm. This pissed Jerod off because first thing in the morning we needed to work on the cars, then head out for a race by noon. I went to the dorm with the girl, Lilly or maybe it was Elizabeth, hell if I know. She was drunk and so was I, once we got in her room though, she was the most boring fucking lay I’d ever had. It was a wham bam thank you mam type of lay for a guy. She followed me out of her room and pulled me in for a long kiss. My dick betrayed me for some reason and started getting hard again. “Jesus Christ, J, let’s go.” Jerod said from beside me making a gagging noise and pulled me away by my shirt. I laughed and told the red head I needed to leave. When I turned to walk away, I turned and ran right into the chick with the jet black hair. My hands shot out to her hips as she stumbled back a couple of small steps. Here friend giggled and kept walking. I stared down at the girl that was blushing her eyes grew big, “Gross let me go!” she tried to pull away from me and my rock hard cock that had only gotten harder since I was pressed against her.

  I laughed, “What do you want your turn?” I asked with a cocky grin.

  She rolled her eyes and pushed at my chest, “Please, I’d fall asleep and you’d fall in love.” She said then tried to walk around me.

  I grabbed her arm, “Who the fuck are you?” I asked because there was something familiar about those eyes and her voice.

  “That’s some more of your god damn business isn’t it.” She said through clenched teeth. Her friend started to pull her away as Jerod pulled on my arm.

  “It was a joke little girl, I’m pretty sure I’d fall asleep and YOU would be the one falling in love.” I said then walked away.

  “What the fuck man? You don’t talk to women like that.” Jerod said to me once we were outside.

  “Who is she? She looks way to familiar man.”

  He shrugged, “Hell if I know, I can’t keep up with you and the women you bang.” He told me with a laugh. Normally I never let a woman get under my skin but this one, there was just something about her. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was determined to figure out what it was about her that had caught my attention. I hadn’t felt like this about a woman since Riley that I dated my entire senior year, until she moved away.

  Every morning I went for a run at the college track, I had to stay in shape with all the beating and banging I endured in the race car. I had just finished stretching when I looked up to see HER with her ear buds in her ears and her black pony tail swaying back and forth with each stride. I clenched my jaw as I watched her legs muscles flex and stretch “Mother fucker” I mumbled to myself and adjusted my growing erection through my shorts. Her music was so loud I could hear a Pitbull song faintly as I ran to catch up with her. I fell into stride beside her just as she slowed down to a walk, her breathing was heavy, her chest was covered in sweat she hadn’t noticed me beside her yet. I yanked her left ear bud out of her ear and put it up to my right ear. “Son of a bitch” she yelled reaching up to her left ear and glaring at me. She yanked the ear bud out of my ear and took off running again. I shook my head and laughed, ran ahead of her then cut in front of her until she stopped. Her eyes got big as I started walking towards her I picked her up and put her over my shoulder, she kicked her legs and pounded her fists against my back, “Put me DOWN, you jerk!” she yelled. I sat her on the wall that was in front of the bleachers, she was breathing heavy and glaring at me. I laughed as she tried to kick me in the chest, I grabbed her ankles and moved so I was standing between her knees. She was seething mad, no doubt about ready to spit fire. I tried asking her who she was, “Just tell me who you are, and I’ll think about leaving you alone..I make no promises though.” I told her. Through clenched teeth she told me she was new here and she was from Kansas. I stood there staring at her beautiful eyes, “That’s it? So do I call you Kansas?” I asked. She kicked me in the chest causing me to take a couple steps back. She jumped down off the wall, put her ear buds back in her ears and walked off. “Well that went great.” I mumbled to myself and took off on another run.

  I went over to Jason’s house after I finished my workout, he said that he needed to go to the grocery store so I decided to go with him. On the drive there I told him about the black haired vixen from Kansas. “Man she looks so god damn familiar but for the life of me I can’t figure out why.”

  He laughed and shook his head, “Probably somebody you banged at Super Nationals or the Duel in the Desert.” He said.

  I shook my head, “No way, I’d remember her, hell I would have never let her go.” I told him.

  He looked over at me, “That bad huh?”

  “Yeah, like she gives me the chills when I’m sweating my ass off. You’d just have to see her and hear her voice. Instant hard on I guarantee you.” I told him.

  I was following him around the store throwing things in his cart that he would pull back out and put back on the shelf. He was just putting something back when suddenly somebody ran their cart right into the back of my legs. The bottom bar in front of the wheel
s hitting me in the back of the ankle. “Mother fucker.” I said and whipped around, there she stood … with Lance, my own fucking roommate.

  “Oh god, I’m so sorry…I …” she looked up at me and quickly shut up. I grinned at her, she licked her lips as she stared at me. “Let’s go” my brother said with a confused tone. Once we had checked out and got to the pickup;

  “See she looks familiar doesn’t she?”

  He looked over at me, “She does, but honestly I can’t say from where. Definitely from a race track though, wasn’t that Lance with her? Ask him who she is.” He said as he pulled back on the main road.

  I snorted, “Yeah, he’s already trying to put the moves on her. He seems to forget that Carey won’t let him date anybody else though.” I said with a laugh.

  “Oh god, he’s still banging Carey too? What an idiot.” He said.

  When that week started I discovered that the black haired girl was in two of my classes. I watched her as she walked into the room, sure enough Lance sat on one side of her and her friend on the other side. Every time I would look at her, within seconds she would be turning around in her seat to look around the room. Once her eyes landed on me I’d grin at her, she would blush then turn back around. Lance would give me a warning look then start whispering in her ear. A couple of the professors insisted that we do introductions, like we were in fucking high school. I introduced myself but Lance was busy talking to the girl with the black hair. She finally introduced herself as “Chass” and she was from Kansas. I tried to figure out why that was all too familiar but I just couldn’t figure out where I had heard that name before. I knew it wasn’t somebody that I had screwed around with, because I would never forget those eyes or that beautiful hair, or that smile. I called my brother Jason to ask him if the name sounded familiar but he said it didn’t ring a bell with him. Mom was on a cruise with her new husband so I couldn’t call her. The only thing I knew about her was she was “Chass from Kansas” and she was a first year sports med student.

  Later in the week I went to the office to see if they would give me Chass’s last name, needless to say they told me no. I caught her walking into the cafeteria and tried to talk to her, but she was having no part of it and called me a stalker, creeper and an asshole. When I lowered my head to her ear and told her that I would figure out how I knew her I couldn’t help but smile when tiny little goose bumps formed on her neck. I opened the door to the cafeteria for her, she hurried past me then went and sat down with Lance, Mitch and her friend Asher. I tried to talk to Asher to see if she would tell me more about Chass she held her hands up in surrender, “I’m not giving you any more info than what she has, you’re freaking her out though.” She told. Well fucking great, now I was starting to feel bad. Since we had some of the same classes together, I would set there and stare at her for most of the class, just trying to figure out where I knew her from.

  I went to her dorm one night, when I knocked on the door the look she gave was a look of shock that I was standing there. I asked her if I could come in but she told me no, I pushed her inside the door then slammed it behind me. I pinned her against the door lowered myself to eye level with her. She was shaking and breathing heavy as I moved in closer to her, “Chass how the fuck do I know you?” I asked.

  “I don’t know.” She stuttered out.

  Standing so close to her, I moved in closer just about to kiss her. My heart was hammering against my chest, I was sure that Chass could feel it. My lips barely touched hers when there was a knock at the door. I moved my mouth away from hers and growled against her neck and asked who she was expecting, “L..Lance.” she whispered then pushed me away. I had to adjust myself through my jeans, I could tell that she was clearly turned on just as much as I was. She took a deep breath before she opened the door, Lance looked at her then to me. I told him I was just there to talk to Chass about returning a part for me the next time she went home.

  A couple of days later I overheard Chass talking to her friend Asher outside of class, about going out Friday night. I raced a couple different tracks, some night’s I would race Friday some weekends I would race Saturday with Friday off. They walked into the class room and sat down. I grabbed a slip of paper from Jerod, and wrote my phone number on it. I slipped it onto her laptop keyboard when I walked past her desk. When I turned around she was putting it in the pocket of her backpack. Her phone was still laying on her desk, when she never reached for it I wrote another note and walked past her desk again. I told her either she text me or I would pull a Tom Cruise from Top Gun on her. I grabbed a sheet off the professor’s desk then walked back to my desk. A few minutes later my phone went off with a text from her asking me what I wanted. I laughed to myself and text her back. We continued texting, I wanted to know who she was going out with Friday, I was pretty sure it was Lance but I wanted her to tell me. When she didn’t respond I asked her if his kiss does things to her body like mine does. She whipped around in her chair and glared at me, her friend Asher reached over and yanked her phone out of her hands. She read the text between us and started silently laughing, I smiled as Chass yanked her phone back from Asher. The text were going fine until she called me “Jay” that honest to god confused the shit out of me. When I asked her about it she said that *You are Jay* I laughed out loud and sent her back that my friends call me “J” short for “Jet”. She tried changing the subject, asking where the professor was, since he was late. This professor was horrible about fucking chic’s in his class and showing up late, usually with twenty minutes of class left. After class was let out Chass all but ran out of the room with Asher right behind her, laughing. I caught up to them just when Asher asked about the kiss between us, “It was NOT a kiss” Chass said then started to walk away, I caught up to her and whispered in her ear. “Re-read your texts, like I said, our first kiss will be when you’re underneath me screaming my name while I’m buried deep inside you.” I said then laughed and walked away.

  Friday came around, race night for Jerod and I. We were at the shop working on finishing up the car and putting the sponsor decals on. My cousin’s car was ready we just needed to get the haulers pulled around so we could load the cars. His cell phone rang, a few minutes later he walked back into the shop.

  “I swear man, these women are getting to be to god damn clingy. Whining because I don’t go out on Friday night’s I’ve told them over and over, Friday night is race night.” Jerod told me. I laughed as we continued to work on my car. We loaded them into the haulers then left to go racing.

  As we drove through town in the semi, we stopped at a stop light next to a restaurant. I glanced down, “Jerod is that’s Lance’s pickup?”

  He leaned over “Yeah…isn’t that him sitting with some hot chick next to the window?”

  I looked up to see Chass and Lance staring at each other, he was holding one of her hands on the table and smiling at her. I pulled my phone out and sent her a text *Kiss him!! Kiss Him!!*

  The light changed to green, Jerod shifted gears “You know her?” he asked me.

  “I think I do but for the life of me I don’t know from where.” I told him. I looked down at my phone to see that she had read my message but didn’t bother replying back. We got to the race track and unloaded our cars, having a hauler that could haul both cars worked great for Jerod and me.

  I thought about Chass the entire time I was at the track, it wasn’t like me to be distracted while I was racing. Hell there were times I’d forget to breathe for almost an entire lap because I was so focused on the damn race. It wasn’t until I would get light headed under my helmet that I realized I needed to breathe.

  During the heat race Jerod’s motor blew up, so he loaded up and waited for me to race the A-feature. When I got out there I had a horrible vibration, thinking it was mud inside a rim I kept racing, then my engine blew up. A fireball shot through the cockpit blinding me for a second causing me to hit the wall coming out of turn four. I climbed out of the car, took my helmet off and threw it at
my car, my temper was something I needed to work on at the races for damn sure. I was pissed that I now needed a new engine along with a new bumper and front clip for my car, but I was pissed that I had been too wrapped up in my thoughts about Chass to be able to hear my own engine. So the track crew pulled my car back to the trailer, we used the winch to pull it inside. Jerod looked at me “Well fuck this night has went to shit let’s head back to town.”

  On the way back to town we got behind a Camaro with Kansas license plates, Chass had text me back asking if I was stalking her. I really wish she would quit using the word stalker, I wanted her but I’d never actually stalk a woman to get her attention. We were texting back and forth until she told me that she was busy with Lance. I laughed out loud, “What’s so funny?” Jerod asked.

  “Fucking Chass, that’s her in front of us and she’s telling me she’s still with Lance. All up on him.” I told him while still laughing. She had no idea that I was right behind her.
