Pole Position

by H. M. Montes

  “THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ABOUT!” Lawrence whooped and laughed.

  An hour passed and I still hadn’t heard from Chassis, I was throwing the beers back like they were water. It was eating me alive that I knew the very second I told her about Riley that she would be crushed. I had promised to never hurt her, then turned around done exactly that. I tried to call her but finally gave up when the numbers on my phone looked like they were shaking away under my fingers. A bull horn sounded followed by a set of drums playing wipe out. “It’s time for the T and A show boys let’s go see what eye candy is on stage tonight. Everybody get on the cart.” Lawrence yelled as we all piled on.

  We made it over to where the live band was set up, the bass player started strumming deep long notes as the drummer thumped against the bass drum. I sat on the golf cart with one foot propped up on the dash and a beer in my hand. The first person I seen walk out on stage, “What the fuck?” I said and stood up off the cart. I pushed my way through the crowd to the front of the stage. Chassis was wearing a pair of silver glittery stiletto high heels, a tiny fucking black mini skirt that showed her ass cheeks, and a checkered flag skin tight leather tank top. The lead singer started humming into the microphone as more women walked out on stage. Carley, Chassis, Asher, and four other women were up on stage looking like full blow high dollars strippers. “We would normally play for this show but we’d really rather be able to watch and enjoy so …(the lead singer nodded his head toward the women) LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!” he yelled into his microphone. The crowd in front of the stage erupted into cheers and wolf whistles as ‘Single Ladies’ the signature song for the stripping contest, started playing again.

  I cocked my head to the side and watched Chassis, she wouldn’t look at me for longer than a few seconds before she would turn around, bend over then shake her ass towards the crowd. I could see her hot pink booty shorts under that tiny black skirt she had on. She strutted over to the lead singers microphone stand and did a stripper dance in front of him, then circled behind him and slid down his side with her back. He bit his lip ring and whispered something to Chassis that caused her to laugh, she slapped him on the ass and walked back to where the other women were. I was fuming pissed but couldn’t take my eyes off of her. All the women were getting dollar bills, twenty dollar bills, and even some hundreds shoved down the front of their shirts, skirts, bras or thongs. Chassis threw her head back and laughed as some guy blew her a kiss. I narrowed my eyes at him and focused back on Chassis. The song switched to ‘Timber’ by Pitbull and Kesha, all the women on stage walked up to the stripper poles and started doing some kind of body roll while holding on to the poll. Chassis reached behind her and unzipped the skirt letting it fall to the stage floor. Guys whistled and cheered as she slowly peeled her checkered flag top off, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I knew every curve of her body every fucking inch. She twirled the top around on her finger then threw it into the crowd, Carley walked over to her grabbed both of her tits then licked from between her breasts up to her mouth. They stood there making out in front of everybody, I stood there mouth open in complete shock. Carley pulled away and smiled at Chassis then turned to the crowd and blew a kiss and walked off stage and into the trailer.

  I pushed my way through the crowd of men and women until I was finally at the walk in side door of the trailer. I tried the handle but the door was locked, I stood against the side of the trailer for close to an hour before Carley and Chassis walked out. I grabbed Chassis by the arm spun her around and pinned her against the trailer. “What the fuck was that?” I asked

  “What?”

  “Don’t fucking what me!” I snapped back at her.

  She ducked under my arm and started practically running to the RV, with Carley right behind her. I downed my beer slammed the bottle against the building in front of the pickup then turned to go after Chassis.

  I got to the RV, stormed inside slamming the door shut behind me. No lights were on except for one small night light in the bedroom.

  “Chassis we need to fucking talk!” I yelled as I walked to the back. I stopped dead in my tracks when I found Chassis naked on the bed, with Carley licking one of Chass’s nipples. I stood there blinking, I would open my mouth to say something then shut it. “Uhh Chass, what the fuck are you doing?” I finally managed to say. The room was silent except for the heavy breathing from Chassis. Carley slid her naked body down Chassis’ body licking, kissing, and lightly biting until she reached her pussy. Carley looked up at Chassis as she spread her pussy lips open then circled her clit. “Oh god!” Chassis moaned and arched her back. Carley smiled up at her and continued licking Chassis clit then pushed one then two fingers inside of her. “Yes…oh god…Car…oh god.” Chassis sighed out. She set up resting on her elbows looking down at Carley. “Holy fuck Carley!” she said then threw her head back and arched her back while still resting on her elbows. “You like that don’t you, god your pussy taste fucking amazing.” Carley said

  My dick was rock hard, my hands fisted at my sides, I walked over to the bed, “What the fuck are you doing?”

  “You have to watch!” Chassis breathed out.

  “NO!” I growled, “What the fuck are you doing?”

  Before she could answer her body was shuddering from the orgasm that Carley had given her. As if my dick could have gotten any harder, I watched as Carley crawled back up Chassis body, “See I told you.” She said with a laugh then kissed my fucking girlfriend, got off the bed put her clothes on and walked past me out of the RV.

  I sat down on the bed, “What the fuck did you just let happen?”

  Chassis smiled, “I just had the best orgasm of my life and now I’m going to sleep.”

  She reached over the edge of the bed grabbed underwear and a t-shirt out of her bag slipped them on then pulled the covers over her body.

  “Will you please fucking talk to me?”

  “Why?” She asked around a yawn.

  “Chassis you’ve been avoiding me I’m not an idiot.”

  She didn’t say anything, I grabbed her shoulder and rolled her towards me, “Please? Talk to me.”

  “Not now.” Was all she said then rolled over.

  I stood up off the bed and started pacing the small room, “Chassis give me a little something to work with here.” I said from the foot of the bed.

  “I said I don’t want to talk right now.”

  “I just watched another girl do things only I should be able to do to you! Can you fucking explain THAT?”

  “Jet, I really don’t think this is the time or the place to talk about anything, we can wait until we cat back to campus.”

  My eyes got big, “It’s fucking THURSDAY! We won’t be back to campus until fucking late Sunday early Monday. You expect me to just act like everything is fine like you’re not giving me the cold shoulder?”

  She still wouldn’t look at me but she was crying and wiping her tears away with the blanket. I set down beside her, “Come on Chassis, I love you more than you’ll ever know. Please tell me what’s wrong.”

  “I can’t.”

  “Why the fuck not?” I was getting pissed.

  “I’m…I…just can’t yet.”

  “What the fuck do you mean you CAN’T…are you pregnant?” I practically yelled.

  “No Jet, I’m not pregnant. Now please just drop it.”

  “No Chassis I won’t just drop it!”

  She took a deep breath in then slowly let it out and wiped more tears away, then set up on the bed with the blanket pooled in her lap.

  “Okay fine…I watched you and Riley.”

  I was speechless, “You…what? You watched?”

  She nodded her head yes, “I watched long enough to know that I wasn’t seeing things and wasn’t over reacting.”

  I ran my hand through my hair, “Fuck Chassis.” I reached out to touch her but she shifted away from me. And there it was, the pain in my chest my own heart breaking.

  I pulled my walle
t out and pulled Chase’s picture out, I placed it on her lap. “That’s my son I never got to meet. I got Riley pregnant our senior year, her parents flipped out and wanted her to have an abortion. When she told them no, they didn’t want her to even live with them anymore but told her she couldn’t live with me at my mom’s house either. So she moved to California with her aunt and uncle. We never talked after that, I didn’t talk to her for three years until the drive here. She called, she’s been bugging the shit out of me, the ONLY reason I agreed to talk to her was she said she had a picture of my son.”

  Chassis looked at the picture then handed it back to me, “The fact that you’ve been lying to me since the drive here, then you screwed her I … I want absolutely nothing to do with you anymore. Jet, you’ve ripped my heart out then you stomped on it, that wasn’t good enough though, then you picked it up and ripped it to shreds. You were the first guy I’ve ever loved, but I’ll make damn sure…you’re not the last.”

  She laid down on her side and faced away from me, “Wait..What? I didn’t fuck her.”

  She snorted, “Oh really, explain what happened after she handed you the condom because Jason pulled me away to keep me from losing it right then.” She said and wiped angry tears off of her face.

  “Chassis…” I grabbed the condom out of my wallet, turned the flash light on, on my cell phone and laid the condom on top of it. “For starters I would have NEVER fucked her again, and second of all look at the holes poked in it.” I told her.

  She rolled over, looked at the condom then at me, “Jet, I’ve been nothing but honest with you. Don’t try to lie to me, none the less you told me you had never went unprotected with any woman. That’s another lie since you have a son with her.” She said then rolled away from me.

  “Chassis, please, I swear I didn’t fuck her, ask her if you have to. I have NEVER went unprotected until you. I got her pregnant our by her doing THIS to the condoms that night. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about her or my son. Like I said, I didn’t know if she even had the kid so I honestly never thought about her much.”

  “Jet, there’s nothing you can say, nothing you can do. I know what I seen, none of this is my fault. You can blame yourself. Now please leave me alone.”

  “I’m sorry Chass, I promise you I didn’t fuck her last night. I’m sorry that you seen me kissing her.”

  Tears were now rolling down her cheeks as her shoulders shook with each sob. “I’m sorry.” I said softly.

  She shook her head, “Sorry won’t fix this Jet.” She whispered.

  “Can it be fixed?”

  She shook her head no again but didn’t say anything.

  “So there’s no talking about it? Nothing? We’re just done?”

  She finally looked up at me, “Yes Jet, we’re done. I hate you so much I could care less what you do anymore.”

  I sat there staring at her, “Can I sleep here?” I asked.

  “I’ll go sleep on the couch.” She sat up in bed grabbed a pillow then got out of bed and went to the living room of the RV and folded the small couch out.

  I followed her in there, “I’ll sleep here, you can have the bed.” I told her.

  “No, this is fine for me, please just go to bed and leave me alone.” She said then fluffed the blanket out and crawled under it and faced away from me again.

  I knelt down beside her, “Chassis, I swear to god she means nothing to me, I hate her with every ounce of my being. I’m not going to try and blame the alcohol, I have no reason for why I did what I did. We can work through this, I’ll do whatever you want me to. I love you and don’t want to lose you. Please…talk to me baby.” I was pleading with her. After a few minutes of her silence I laid my head on the couch beside her while still knelt down, and fell asleep.

  ****

  I spent as much time away from Jet as I possibly could, he would text and call me non-stop if I wasn’t at the trailer. I couldn’t get the images out of my head, seeing him with her, him not pushing her away or stopping her. How he could say he loved me but do THAT with Riley?

  Asher, Carley, and I had been to town shopping and looking around the local small stores and boutiques. I didn’t even want to be near Jet, he had still not told me about his little rendezvous with Riley but he was sure getting pissed that I was giving him the cold shoulder.

  Asher, Carley, and I were sitting in a small coffee shop, I was exhausted I had spent the last couple of days crying myself to sleep. I had fallen in love with Jet, all I could think about was all the times he had said how much he loved me, how much I meant to him, and how he would never hurt me. Tears formed in my eyes as I looked out at the street.

  “Chassis, what are you going to do? I think it’s only making it harder on you staying here.” Asher asked.

  I looked back at her and wiped away the tear that was slowly rolling down my cheek, “I’m going to go home tomorrow, I can’t stay here. I…just can’t. He still hasn’t even told me that he did it. Do you know how that confrontation is going to go anyways? The entire pit area, hell all of Boone will hear us fighting about it. I know Riley is still there, she will be right there to comfort him.”

  “It’s a ten hour drive though, I don’t want you renting a car to drive that far by yourself! I’ll go with you though and we can split the driving.” Asher told me.

  I shook my head, “No, I’ll book a flight out of Des Moines but I’ll need a ride to the airport, it’s about an hour from here.”

  “I’m still going with you.”

  “No, you can stay I’ll be fine.”

  Asher glared at me, “I said I’ll go WITH you, I’m not staying here and looking at him anymore either.”

  I nodded my head, “I’m going to call the airport and see if they have a flight out for tomorrow mid-morning.” I pulled my phone out and called the airport, they had two available seats for a one o’clock flight. I gave them my credit card information and booked us two seats back to Columbus.

  “Well, since ya’ll are leaving tomorrow WE are going to have some fun tonight!” Carley told us.

  I raised an eyebrow at her, “What’s going on tonight?”

  “Well, there’s the actual stripper contest, then I’m going to give you a farewell good time.” She said with a wink. “You still owe me for the bet that you lost.”

  I shook my head, “Sure why not, I’m single.” I said with a flat tone.

  “Chassis, you are beautiful, Jet is a complete idiot for doing what he did. I’ve seen the way he looks at you though, that man is absolutely head over heels in love with you no doubt.” She held up a hand stopping me from interrupting her, “I honestly think that Jet did it to Riley as a way to get back at her for what she did to him. I know it doesn’t make it right, and trust me I would have already flipped out on him. What you need is time away from him, don’t tell him you’re leaving, don’t answer his calls or text. When they get back on Sunday if you are ready to talk to him then talk. If you want to be done with him then be done with him. I know you love him I have seen the way you look at him, it’s YOUR decision what happens next. If you can find it in you to trust him again great, if not that’s fine too. Don’t let HIM make the decision for you though. I know you said you were a virgin, so I’m guessing you only dated in high school some, maybe you just need to take a break and date other guys. Don’t rush into any decision because of Jet, because once he realizes you left he’s going to flip his shit.” Carley said.

  “My decision right now is I want nothing to do with him, nothing at all. I know that people say every relationship has its bumps along the way, but come ON! He knew what he was doing, he did it and doesn’t think anybody besides him and Riley know about it. As if we weren’t doomed from the start, after all, my dad is dead because of his dad.” I wiped another tear from my face.

  “WHAT!?” Carley yelled causing people in the coffee shop to turn and stare at us. Asher shook her head and told Carley to be quiet.

  “My dad died in a
wreck when he was racing thirteen years ago, Jet’s dad was the one that wrecked my dad. Jet pursued me and pursued me trying to figure out how he knew me. It wasn’t until after the first time we had sex everything came together thanks to his dad showing up at his house while I was still naked in Jet’s bed.”

  “Oh.MY.God!” she said with big eyes.

  I nodded my head and took a sip of my coffee that was now getting cold, “Tonight we are going to drink and have some fun, then tomorrow we’ll leave. You have to keep in touch with us though Carley.”

  “Well duh, like I wouldn’t! You two are so down to earth and so fun to be around. And you’re both beautiful (she winked) that’s just an added bonus though.”

  Asher and I laughed as we all stood up and walked out of the coffee shop, “I think I’ll sit in the grandstands for the races this afternoon, then after Jet’s done I’ll go back to the RV and work on my paper so all I have to do is print it off when we get back to the dorm.” I told them.

  “Yeah, let’s all sit up there, let the guys have their little “world” back, I’m going to let Mitch know though.” Asher said then typed out a quick text and put her phone back in her purse.

  We made the short drive back to the track, Carley parked in the main parking lot of the grandstands. “This is going to be so weird, even when dad raced I don’t think I ever actually set in the grandstands.” I said as I looked at the tall metal bleachers that stretched the entire length of the front straight away.

  “Oh I know right? (Asher laughed) Maybe we’ll like it up here so much we won’t ever watch from the pits again.”

  I shook my head, “I don’t know that I’ll be going to anymore races this season, I love watching them I love the thrill and the adrenaline rush but going to watch Jet…I will probably have to pass.” I told her.

  She nodded her head, we stepped up to the window of the ticket booth, paid then found a seat just beside the flag stand about five rows up. Hobby stocks, had just finished racing then the Sportsman Modified heat races started.
