CHAPTER 13

~Hayden~

I was fucking up. I knew it, but I couldn’t stop it. Not when I was so close to victory. I had enough money stockpiled from street racing, that I finally felt like I could approach Jordan. What I was going to say to convince him to sell the track to me, I had no fucking clue, but the money was nearly there. Step one was almost complete.

But at what cost? Kenzie was suspicious, even a blind man could see that. If I told her what I was really doing though, she’d ask me to stop. She’d say it was too dangerous, say she didn’t need my help bailing her out, tell me that making a deal with Keith would never work and everything I was doing was pointless. Yeah, if I did the right thing and told Kenzie the truth, she’d never get her old life back. And if I kept lying to her…I’d probably lose her. Rock. Me. Hard place.

It didn’t help matters any that I’d been juggling so much lately, I’d let something fall through the cracks. Nikki and those damn texts. Goddamn, I wish I’d seen that one coming. I wish I’d told Kenzie about Felicia getting on my case from the beginning. But for some reason, the words just wouldn’t form around Kenzie. How could I tell her something that I knew without a doubt would hurt her?

Kenzie was still sleeping beside me. She looked peaceful for once, a small smile on her full lips. It had been far too long since I’d taken her to the track. I was failing as a boyfriend, on multiple levels. All for a good reason, but that would hardly hold up in court.

Carefully getting out of bed, I made my way to the living room to grab my cell phone. Kenzie and I had taken off so quickly last night, I’d left it behind. Good thing too. After I plucked the contraption out of my coat pocket, I saw about a million missed calls and texts from Hookup. I didn’t need to read or listen to them to know he was pissed at me. I’d bailed on the race, and he’d had to forfeit the entrance fee. Hookup hated losing money, which was why he’d done what he’d done last year. But being a no-show had been unavoidable. There was just no way I could have gotten away from Kenzie last night, not with her that riled up. So, I’d made a split-second decision, and now I was going to get my ass chewed out for it.

Kenzie finding me at home when I was supposed to be out with Keith had only doubled her suspicions. Problems compounding problems. I’d have to hang out with Hookup from now on before races, to prevent that from ever happening again. That, or come up with a different lie to tell Kenzie. God, I really hated that those were my options. The lie was still working, though, so my best bet was to keep going with it.
