Pole Position

by H. M. Montes

  Carley laughed, “I’m pretty sure it’s a tie between you two.” She said and shuffled off the stage. Russell laughed, “Alright to break the tie we will do rock, paper scissors. Ready set GO.”

  Asher and I laughed as we hit our fist on our other palm, I made scissors and Asher made paper, “Ahhh, you bitch you always pick scissors!” she said with a laugh. Russell grabbed my arm and held it up, “The winner is…what’s your name? (he whispered)”

  “Chassis”

  “Like the race car chassis?” he asked with big eyes.

  I laughed, “Yep like the race car chassis.”

  “I think I’m in love.” He said then handed me a coffee can full of money.

  “The winner is CHASSSIIIISSSS!” he yelled and the crowd erupted into cheers and whistles.

  I walked off the stage and into the enclosed trailer, everybody had already changed back into their regular clothes. I put the coffee can on the work bench and started to strip my clothes off, Asher grabbed the can and started counting the money. “Holy shit, there’s seven hundred eighty two dollars and forty six cents in here.” She said with big eyes.

  “WHAT?!” I said, “I can’t keep that! That makes me feel like a stripper!”

  “You have to keep it, or the crowd will be pissed.” Carley told me.

  I shook my head, Carley walked over to me, “So you won, you know what that means.” She said with a grin.

  The trailer door swung open, there stood Jet, “I think we need to go..to the RV, I think I’m tired.”

  “You THINK you’re tired?” I asked with my hands on my hips.

  “Yeah, or I just want to finish what I started earlier.” He smiled big.

  Carley cleared her throat, “Go have a couple of beers we’ll be out in a little bit.” She told him.

  He narrowed his eyes at her then slammed the trailer door.

  “Okay so, we’ll go to the RV, Asher will stay here. When Jet asks where you are she can tell him at the RV. When he shows up…SURPRISE!”

  I shook my head, “This has got to be, by far, the oddest thing I’ve ever done!”

  Asher peeked her head out, “I don’t see them anywhere so hurry because he’s like a blood hound on Chassis.”

  Carley and I hurried out of the trailer and practically ran to the RV. Once we got there we were both breathing heavy and laughing, “I’m going to shower before…anything happens.” I said to Carley.

  “It’s totally okay to be nervous, I promise I’m not going to hurt you or give you any disease. It’s just a onetime thing.” She told me. I nodded my head then went inside to shower.

  Just as I got out, my cell phone went off with a text message, I grabbed my phone to read the text. *I have no idea where Jet is!* ~ *Did you ask the guys?* ~ *Yep last they seen he was going toward the RV* ~ *Ok, I’m sure he’ll be showing up then.* ~ *Have fun ;) * ~ * LoL I’m NERVOUS!* ~ *You’ll have a good time no doubt just relax!*

  I put a t-shirt and shorts on then walked out of the bathroom. Carley was laying on the bed on her stomach kicking her feet up and down and smiling.

  “I guess that Asher and the guys have no clue where Jet is.” I told her.

  “Really?”

  “Yep, Asher said they seen him headed this way but that’s been about twenty minutes ago.”

  “We should probably go look for him then, hopefully he didn’t stop and confront the guy that wrecked him.”

  “Oh god, I hope not! I’ll call Asher and have all of them come back here so we can go look for him.”

  “Yeah, I’ll text Lawrence too.” Carley said.

  About ten minutes later everybody was back at the RV, “If he went to that dudes trailer it won’t be good.” Jason said and shook his head.

  “Have you tried calling him?” I asked.

  “Yeah but it rings and rings then goes to voicemail.” Jerod told me.

  I was instantly nervous, “What if something has happened to him?”

  “Let’s just go look for him.” Mitch said as we all shuffled out of the RV.

  We all started walking then I heard a guy yelling, “Shh..Is that JET?” I asked then started walking closer to where the yelling was coming from. I peeked around the front of the semi and looked to find Jet leaning against one enclosed trailer and Riley right across from him wiping tears off her face.

  “GOD DAMNIT RILEY, why the fuck do you have to do this? Three fucking years later you finally tell me I have a son and then you break it to me that YOU gave him up for adoption without my consent!”

  “Jet, I’m sorry…I just, I wasn’t in the right place to keep him.”

  Jet looked down at something in his hand then back up at Riley, “He looks just like me.” He said with a waver to his voice.

  “He does, I didn’t name him at the hospital the family that adopted him named him Chase Michael.”

  Jet looked at her and shook his head, “I…(he ran a hand through his hair) Riley I can’t talk to you when I’m this pissed.”

  She walked over to Jet, slid her hands up his chest then clasped her fingers behind his neck. “I still love you, I never fell out of love with you. We were going to get married and have a family remember, we were going to travel all over racing.” She said softly then rolled on to her tippy toes and softly pressed her lips to Jets.

  “That dumb mother fucker, I’m going to go beat the shit out of him myself.” Jason said then tried to step around me. I grabbed his arm yanking him back, “What the fuck Chass.” He said as he regained his balance. I looked back at Riley and Jet. He had moved his hands to her hips and tilted his head to the side as the kissed deepened, I felt bile rising up in my throat. Why wasn’t he pushing her away? Why? I stepped back and started walking back towards the RV. Jason and Jerod ran up to me, Jason grabbed my arm and stopped me.

  I spun around, “Who the fuck is she to him? Never mind obviously the love of his life and mother of his child.” I said trying not to cry.

  Jerod placed his hands on my shoulders and lowered himself to look at me, “He got her pregnant our senior year, her parents wanted her to have an abortion. She said no, so they made her move to another state with her aunt and uncle. Jet didn’t hear from her until the ride here.” He told me.

  “She’s why he’s avoiding his phone calls and acting weird around me, isn’t she?”

  “I think so.” Jerod replied.

  “Why couldn’t you guys tell me?” I asked and wiped a tear away.

  “Because we thought Jet did tell you or WOULD tell you, but we were wrong.” Jason said. Jason was so mad he was shaking. “I’m going to go break their little fucking reunion up and kick his ass though.” He said and turned to go back. I ran to catch up with him, I stopped in front of him then looked around the front of the semi, Jet had Riley pinned against the side with her legs wrapped tightly around his waist.

  He had his hands cupping her breasts under her shirt, “Yes Jet please.” She moaned and tried to grind against his cock that was pressing against his jeans.

  “Chass, you really shouldn’t be watching this, let’s go.” Asher said as she cried beside me.

  I shook my head no, “I’m going to watch, so I KNOW what happened that way he can’t lie to me or tell me I’m over reacting when I confront him.” I told her as I wiped more tears away.

  “God damnit Chass you’re torturing yourself.” Jason whisper yelled.

  I glared over at him then looked back at Jet and Riley, I had to see this with my own two eyes, even though it was killing me inside. I.had.to.see.

  Riley handed Jet a foil packet. “You didn’t fucking poke holes in it did you?” He asked as he looked at it then back at her.

  “Enough!” Jason whisper yelled and yanked me away from where I was standing, “You’re not going to watch any fucking more. You don’t deserve this shit.” He said as he pushed me back towards the RV. Asher ran up and put her arm around me as we quickly walked away from the guys. Carley caught up with us and put her arm around me, once we got back
to the RV I broke down completely. I was crying so hard I was gagging, “I can’t…oh my god…he…” I couldn’t form sentences. The other guys stood in front of me looking at the ground, “I’m going to talk to him when he..uh..gets back here.” Jason said still clearly pissed off.

  I shook my head no.

  “NO? What the fuck do you mean NO?” Jason yelled.

  “I…I just want to go home. I can’t see him anymore…or talk to him.”

  “Chassis it’s a ten hour drive, we can just get a hotel in town.” Asher said.

  “Not gonna happen, they’re all full.” Lawrence told us.

  Another round of tears racked through my body, “One of you should have told me.” I sobbed.

  “It wasn’t our place TO tell you god damnit, we figured he HAD told you by now!” Jerod told me.

  I looked over at Lawrence, then at the jug in his hand. I reached over yanked it out of his hand and took one long chug of it.

  “Chassis, I’m not going to watch you make yourself sick.” He said and tried to pull it away.

  The music from where the DJ was now playing over by the stage started getting louder, Beyoncé’s ‘Single Ladies’ started to play, then stopped and repeated the intro of the song about five times.

  “Why are they playing the song like that?” I asked.

  “It’s nothing.” Carley said with a wave of her hand.

  I stomped away from them and back towards the stage area. “CHASSIS STOP you’re not going to do what I think you are thinking about!” Asher yelled and ran to catch up with me. “Come on let’s just go back to the RV, maybe we can book a flight back home.” She told me.

  I pushed my way through the crowd of people, once I was at the front of the stage that’s when I realized that there was a stripping contest about to start. I pushed through the front of the crowd over to Russell’s trailer. “I’m in.” I told him. He looked at me, looked me over from head to toe then back up at my face.

  “Be my guest.” He motioned with his arm to the stage.

  Without hesitation I quickly walked onto the stage where other girls were standing waiting for the music to start. ‘Single Ladies’ finally started playing, there were about twelve women on stage, we all started dancing and grinding against each other. Four golf carts with stripper poles bolted on to a platform on the back were backed up against the stage. I walked over to one of them and started sliding my back up and down the pole. I stood up grabbed the pole with my left hand and spun around in a circle. I glanced around at the other’s they had stripped their shirts off and were now in their bras and shorts with the top button unsnapped. I grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head then threw it at Jerod that was now standing beside the golf cart glaring at me.

  “Get the fuck down.” He yelled over the music.

  I squatted down and crawled towards him, ran a finger up his chest to his chin then pulled my hand away and flipped him off right in front of his face. Rihanna’s ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ started playing, so I stood up and walked away from the stage. One of the other women grabbed me by my waist and started grinding with her leg between mine, suddenly I was being yanked away from her causing me to stumble backwards and almost lose my balance.

  “What the fuc……” I started to say when Jerod pulled me against his chest.

  “I told you to fucking stop…don’t do this!” He growled into my ear. I turned and tried to push him away but he didn’t budge. He picked me up threw me over his shoulder and walked back into the enclosed trailer then out the side door. “I’m taking you back to the RV, you’re going to sleep off all the alcohol you drank then tomorrow we’ll figure out how to get you back to the campus.”

  I kicked and pounded my fists against his back, “No, I’m not going back there. I want to go HOME, back to Kansas!” I yelled. “I have a bet I have to do, I’m not letting Carley down on our bet she won, well I won but she won.” I continued yelling. He stopped abruptly then pulled me off his shoulder.

  “What bet?”

  “I told her she could perform lesbian acts on me!” I stated and planted my hand firmly on my hips while glaring at Jerod.

  His eyes got big, “WHAT?”

  “You heard me.” I turned and started walking back to the RV. My cell phone rang, I pulled it out of my pocket to see that Jet was trying to call. I shook my head and laughed, hit ignore then shut my phone off.

  Carley and Asher seen me getting closer and ran over to me pulling me into a hug. “I’m so sorry, I can’t believe him.” Asher said trying to hold back tears. “He’s been back by the camper looking for you, he doesn’t know that any of us know anything, Jason said he’s not going to say anything to him. Jason is ready to beat the hell out of him.” She told me.

  I nodded my head, “He tried to call me, I don’t want to talk to him right now though. He’ll say I’m overreacting.”

  Carley snorted, “Overreacting? Are you fucking serious?! He should be lucky you didn’t punch him in the dick yet.”

  I looked at her, “I owe you a bet, so let’s do this.”

  She shook her head, “No way, absolutely not.” She told me holding her hands up in front of her.

  “Chassis, just go inside and pass out. We’ve all had a shit ton to drink, tomorrow we can figure out how to get back to campus.” Asher said.

  I shook my head, “I’m not going back, I’m going HOME Ash.”

  She nodded her head “That’s fine, but you need to go inside and get some sleep. I’ll see if I can get Jet to sleep somewhere else.”

  “No, because then he’ll know that we all know something is up. I’ll just give him the cold shoulder IF I’m even awake.” I gave her and Carley a hug then walked into the RV and slammed the door.

  Jet

  ****

  I knew that the Carley chick had obviously talked Asher and Chassis into being in the wet t-shirt contest. We stood around talking at the trailer then we all made our way over to the stage area. Asher, Chassis, and Carley all went in the side door where more women had went. About ten minutes later they all came out on stage, Lenny was blaring through the speakers as guys up front sprayed the women on stage and threw colored powder at them.

  Chassis was laughing and dancing like I had seen her dancing at the club, I pushed my way to the front of the stage as Chassis had more water sprayed on her. Her nipples were peaked and pressing against her tight little white shirt she had on. She knelt down in front of me and pumped her hips up and down a few times as the guys threw more colored powder on her and sprayed her with water. She threw her head back and laughed then stood up and walked back to where the other women were dancing with each other.

  I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I pulled it out to see that Riley had text me, *I really want us to talk, I have a picture of our son to show you.* ~ *Fine, meet me at the camper* ~ *K * I rolled my eyes at the fucking smiley face and waited for Chassis to come out of the trailer since the contest was finally over and she had won. When she never came out I walked over to the trailer and threw the side door open. Carley told me they would be out in a few minutes to go grab a couple of beers. I tried to tell Chassis that I was tired and wanted to go to bed but she knew better, she knew that I had full intentions of fucking her brains out once we were alone.

  I walked through the crowd of people to the RV to get me a couple of beers, when I got closer I seen Riley leaning against the side of it. I shook my head, when I was standing in front of her.

  “Well let me see the picture.” I told her.

  “No, we are going to go somewhere and talk Jet.”

  “Riley.” I shook my head. “Just let me see MY son.”

  She pursed her lips then walked away, looked over her shoulder to see if I was following. I grabbed a couple of beers out of the cooler, then followed a few steps behind Riley. She walked between pulling rigs and enclosed trailers then stopped and leaned against one. She pulled a picture out of her back pocket and handed it to me. I yanked the picture a
way from her. I looked down and smiling up at me was a chubby cheeked, sandy brown hair, blue eyed little boy. He looked just like me even the hairline was just like mine. I stood there looking at the picture and couldn’t tear my eyes away from him. That very instant I had nothing but pure hate towards Riley for giving my son up for adoption without me ever even knowing about him or getting the chance to meet him. My cell phone had been ringing but I never bothered to even pull it out and see who was calling.

  “They named him Chase Michael.” She told me.

  I looked back up at Riley, “I can’t talk to you right now when I’m this pissed.”

  “Jet..”

  “NO Riley! You didn’t even fucking TELL me!”

  She took two steps towards me, ran her hands up my chest then clasped her hands behind my neck. Her warm sugar smell filled my senses, she started talking about how she still loved me and how we had talked about getting married, traveling around the world racing and having a family. Once her lips touched mine, I felt myself getting even more pissed. Her lips didn’t feel the same against mine as Chassis did, her smell wasn’t the same, then she slid her tongue into my mouth. Her soft moan and the ways she fisted my hair in her hands instantly caused my dick to get hard. I pushed her against the trailer, she wrapped her legs around my waist and deepened the kiss. Fuck fuck FUCK you have to stop, you’re with Chassis, you love Chassis, she’s going to be heartbroken when she finds out. I pulled away from Riley, both of us breathing heavy against each other’s face. Don’t let her do it Jet, Chassis Chassis Chassis.

  “Riley…” She gave your son up for adoption, you never even got to meet him and probably never will. She grinded her center against my dick and moaned;

  “Let’s start over Jet, let’s fuck just like old times. Hard and fast until I’m screaming out your name.” she whispered and licked my ear.

  I needed to stop her, “Riley fucking don’t do this.” I growled at her.

  “You miss me and you know it.”

  “I’m with Chassis.”

  “You know you’ll never have what we had together with her.”
