Chapter 5

　　I haven't even talked to him about what I did last night. I don't know if I should apologize or thank him because he didn't tell about it to anyone in the house. Ah, well, I also don't want to talk to him because it's awkward!

　　The race is still tonight, so I still have time to do a facial with Arthuro, my favorite salon owner. I fixed up and asked our driver to drive me there. I spent 3-4 hours in his salon, because I also combined my hair treatment and nail polish. I would have liked to go shopping, but I'm tired of sitting so I want to go to bed.

　　I picked up our driver and went home immediately. I regained sleep in the afternoon and woke up at 5:30 pm.

　　7 is the start of the race so I hurried to get ready. I wore my black sleeveless mini dress from Chanel, paired with a black platform high heels from YSL tributes, it was just sent by their branch from New York. I chose a set of silver accessories

　　from Tiffany and Co. I let my hair down and keep them all at my back after putting my makeup. I made my eyes looks simple and I put on a dark red lipstick.

　　"Lea, there you are again with your dirt, you're taking too long. Let's go." It was Kuya Sage outside my door.

　　I made face while choosing which parfume should I use. "Coming!" I shouted back before spraying my Chanel 'Allure' parfume and got out of my room.

　　We arrived at the venue at 7:15, it was already crowded but we had no trouble getting to our vip seat in the front where the vehicles were clearly visible. There is also a large screen at the top and from time to time the cameramen focus the camera on me and my brother so I had to fake a smile.

　　We've got some body guards with us around the field but they're here only to observe and monitor our safety. They will not come out if we do not call them and there is no emergency.

　　I saw Cora with Brianna walking towards us.

　　"Girl, why didn't you read our messages ?!" Hysterically says Brianna.

　　I just nodded and stepped aside so they could sit down. When they saw Kuya Sage they both looked embarrassed so they just kept quiet. Next to me was older brother and Cora and next to her was Brianna. Cora leaned closer to me and whispered.

　　"What happened last night, huh? Where did you go? Did you know all the alcohol was free last night just so no one would gossip that you were about to undress?"

　　I was stunned and didn't know what to answer, "A-ah, no .. I was just taken home. And you know, that can't get to my brothers so that's it." I admitted.

　　"Sus, really? Nothing happened? With that hottie, Azalea Bernice, you didn't give in?" I frowned at her because my older brother might hear her.

　　"Tone down your voice, Cora, Kuya might hear us!" I whispered a shout at her.

　　She just glared at me before answering, "C'mon, what's that guy's name? Didn't you ask?" She was still curious. Brianna was busy taking selfies so she didn't notice us.

　　"No." I answered before diverting my full attention to the field. The participants were ready next to their dragsters, I saw kuya Loren talking to Gavin in the back of his twin turbo Lamborghini Huracan. He's wearing a yellow and black racing suit while Gavin is in his light blue and black racing suit. He looks dashing and incredibly hot, I must admit.

　　The referee whistled and the people began to make noise. I didn’t even understand what the announcer was saying as he read the standings of the racers.

　　A few moments later, older brothers Loren and Gavin said goodbye to each other. They went back to their dragster and I saw an Aston Martin Valkyrie that Gavin will use.

　　"Damn that's nice." Kuya Sage whispered, looking at Gavin as well.

　　I was silently watching him when someone suddenly approached us from the National Hot Rod Association and handed us two iPhones. One I recognize was Kuya Loren's because of its black bumper case.

　　I accepted that both and inserted into my pouch.

　　"Thanks," I said. When I turned my gaze back to the chin I saw that the dragsters were already lined up and one by one the racers were being introduced.

　　Kuya's code name is 'Acer' and Gavin's is 'Black Raven'.

　　"Gavin Wyatt Eleanor ..." I repeated the name mentioned by the announcer. The women shuddered because of the new Eleanor they saw.

　　"What the fuck ?!" Brianna cried when she heard Gavin's name. She turned to me in shock, "T-that's him, isn't he? The guy last night? Did I hear it right, Lea ?!" I widened my eyes at her so she would lower her voice.

　　"I'll explain everything tomorrow, my God, let's not talk about that here." I whispered to them. Cora, on the other hand, was just an idiot and looked back and forth between me and Gavin below.

　　As the racers burnout I felt my purse vibrate. I opened my pouch and grabbed the two iPhones, it wasn't Loren's phone but the other one. It's color space gray without a case. When I turned it on, I saw the notification on its lockscreen. It was a message from 'Sadie'. I raised an eyebrow. So this is Gavin's phone, huh?

　　'Okay, just be careful. I miss you. '

　　I creased my forehead when I read the text. Is this his girlfriend? I remember her talking to Gavin on the phone earlier.

　　"What's the matter?" Kuya Sage asked.

　　"Does Gavin has a sister?" I asked out of nowhere.

　　Sage just creased his forehead. "He's an only child, Lea. How can you forget?"

　　I inhaled in annoyance. So who was that? "You know I never met him!" I said.

　　He just clicked his tongue and shook his head. I just shrugged the thought off and put it back inside my purse.

　　I diverted my attention to the track and cleared my throat as the girl raised the green flag. I immediately shifted my seat while waiting for the gun to give the cue, and when it did after a minute, my heart raced along the racers down the field.

　　"Whoaaaa!"

　　"Go Black Raven! Oh my god!"

　　"Acer for the win!"

　　"Did you see Black Raven ?! He's so hot!"

　　I winced at the shouts of the women behind us. Four racers were fighting, I realized that Gabriel was also one of them operating the yellow McLaren.

　　Kuya Loren and Gavin lead them. Gabriel chases but he can't keep up with Kuya's speed. People were screaming at the smooth drift that kuya Loren made. It looks like he will win again. I smirked, but everyone was so quiet that Gavin quickly chased after him and went with Loren.

　　Trembling rumbled in my chest as I watched the cars almost fly away.

　　The audience roared again and no longer knew whose name to shout. Gabriel and your other racer also caught up in a Rimac.

　　As the second lap approached, Gavin and Kuya were evenly spaced ahead as Gabriel's McLaren sped faster and faster. The announcer says he can exceed his dial-in but he still continues to push.

　　I was shaken when it went on to breakout. What the hell, he cheats at everything. Tss. It was quickly recorded as a foul so he went back to normal speed.

　　"Shit baby!" Complaint of the woman behind me.

　　"That's foul." My older brother whispered to me.

　　It was also quickly forgotten by the audience when the second lap started which was still led by older brother Loren.

　　The four did not stop running and when they reached the finish line, Kuya won.
