"I don't think that's a good idea." I said looking around me.

He smiled and grabbed my hand. Now that I think about it, it's the first time he actually grabbed my hand rather than my arm or wrist.

"Come on don't be a scary cat. It'll be fun like the last time."

Last time when I dropped miles above the ground. Yeah, I think I enjoyed it more than I thought.

His big, rough and calloused hand squeezed my small and soft one. Warm against my usually cold one. Somewhere deep in my heart, I felt safe.

We made our way to the crowd. Some were looking at us curiously, some were minding their business and others were drunk.

I noticed the guys who we beat up at the masquerade party. I recognized them from miles away but I don't think they recognize me as I had my mask on when they first saw me.
Amir led me to small crowd and smirked at them.

"Look who we have here." A girl cheered. She looked wild but sober which was reliving. Actually the little crowd were all sober.

They proving that you can fun without alcohol which I totally agree with. "And he finally revealed his girlfriend." They all laughed.

"Shut up Madeleine and all you guys need to know about her is that she's mine. Look at her and you will lose your eyeballs." He said growling pointing his statement to some men who were already staring at me. I'd be lying if I said I was not scared.

Surrounded by drunk and dangerous people doesn't strick me as safe but I kept my face calm and tough. That much I was good at.

"Woo soory champ, I don't to lose my eyes yet, it's just the first time you bring a chick here." A man covered in tattoos from head to toes said.

He squeezed my hand that was still in his lightly.

"When is my turn?" Amir changed the subject as he threw a glance at me. I kept my poker face on and examining around, tried looked to bored.

I hope I look as cool and badass as I think I look and not just a potato attempting to be French fries but failing miserably.

"You're right on time, it'll begin in 2." The girl spoke and smiled at me which caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting them to be friendly or she could be laughing at me. Who knows but I was not a person who did not return a smile. So I returned her smile with small one.

"Is she riding with you?" The tattooed man said raising a brow.

"Yes."

"Will you be alright?" The man asked me genuinely concern. They are nicer than I thought. What kind of a gang is this nice?

"I hope so." I sighed uttering my first words to them.

"Just for your information, Amir drives like a mad man and wins everytime. I don't think he let anyone ride with him ever." The girl warned me.

"Wow, should I be honoured or worried?" I asked.

"The latter."

"Both." They both said in unison.

"Worried then." I said my voice low.
If I should panic now is the time. But I didn't feel anything, just my curiosity boiling up. That will one day get me killed.

"Tu vas bien?" Amir met my eyes, his gaze unreadable. (Are you alright?)

"Bein sur, mieux que je devrais être." I smiled. (Of course, better than I should be.)

"Dis-moi si c'est trop, je vais arrêter immédiatement." (Tell me if it's too much, I'll stop immediately.) He sounded really concerned.

I should be concerned here about him. What if something happens and he'll have trouble to breathe?

"Est-ce que TU vas bien? Avez-vous vos médicaments?" I worriedly asked. (Are YOU alright? Do you have your medications?)

He let go of my hand only to intertwine them his fingers through mine. My heart skipped a beat. Shock ran down my spine.

"Ne vous inquiétez pas, vous ne vous débarrasserez pas de moi aussi facilement." He smirked (Don't worry, you won't get rid of me that easily.)

Did I mention he looked hot? No?

Well I just said it.

"I really hope you don't talking shit about us or else we're gonna have a problem." The girl said her face so serious I bit my tongue to stop myself from laughing.

I just smiled and shook my head.

"Champ, you starting now." Another man walked toward us. Amir patted the man's shoulder and said "thanks bud."

Amir led me away from the crowd to where the cars were. There were two waiting to be driven. Both of them was low on the ground, one of had the color of fire while the other had the color of ice. Both of them were gorgeous.

"The red one is ours." He said and we made or way to it before climbing in it.

This is it! I really racing with Amir!
My heart was literary racing and I widened my eyes. Amir took off his jacket and I couldn't help but check him out.

His powerful glutes accentuated in a tight fitting and washed out jeans, his forearm are clear and veins run down his hands bulging out. His shoulders are broader than I noticed before and his waist tight.

I really need to stop. Ya Allah, he drives me crazy.

When he got beside me he turned his head to me and gave me a breathtaking smile. My heart melted. He was saying something but I didn't hear him.

"What?" I asked dazed.

"I asked you if you were ready." His smile turned into a smirk. I was still dazed to answer.

"You are staring at my lips." He stated and that popped my bubble.

"No I'm not. I was actually staring at your ugly teeth"

He threw his head back laughing.
I shut my eyes in embarrassment, dammit Layla! It's that you got?!

Focus.

"Ready?" He said for the second time.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I sighed.

The flags dropped and we literally flew.

I yelped loud and grabbed my seatbelt hard.

What is this!!??

The gravity pressed my body to my seat.

I was frozen for a good amount of minutes. Terror and excitement was overflowing in my veins.

I screamed in delight. Woow I really am insane.

The car swiftly passed the other car and we were leading as Amir turned the wheel around a curve. I crashed into the cardoor hard.

Is this damn seatbelt working!?

"Amir?!" I shouted over the roaring of the engine.

I want to say I didn't want to die and stop but he looked at me, away from the road and I saw a flash of my life in front of my eyes. I saw the angel of death for a second. No, I think I've imagine it.

"Eyes on the road!" I shrieked. I could hear my heart drumming wildly.

Ya, Allah I going to die.

He laughed and laughed and grinned genuinely. I never saw him this happy.
My heart melted for him, I shrugged back into my seat and faced my head to Amir. Watching him. I wasn't scared anymore but I still made my shahada.

Just in case.

The speed of the car was insane.
And I felt myself enjoying it more than I thought.

Eid Mubarak Beauties!!! May you get everything you wished for in this Ramadan and made the most of this holy month❤❤ Amiin🙏
