Jesse

My head was all fucked up now. Pussy will do that to you. Made me all frustrated and irritated whenever I was away from Niki. For the first time in forever, I felt like things weren’t impossible, like good luck was right around the corner. I used to want to numb myself when I was in pain; shit, that was just normal for me. I mean, would a surgeon operate without anesthesia? But now I had Niki in my life, I didn’t feel the pain. Fucking Manny called it being pussy-whipped. What a joker. Like he would know much about women and love anyway? Oh shit. The ‘L’ word. Love? Is that what this is?

It felt right. Niki was everything I had imagined the perfect girlfriend could be and more. Not that I was the type of guy to sit around dwelling on such matters. I was used to living life on the fly, dealing with shit as it happened and rolling with the punches. I wasn’t the type to hold hands and sing ‘Kumbaya’ while reflecting on the meaning of life.

But Niki…she was beautiful and wise beyond her years. And she had this healing effect on me whenever we were together. Go figure. I didn’t know why she made me feel so good inside, but I wasn’t going to bust a nut trying to figure it out. I was just stoked that she had agreed to go to New York with me, because I don’t think I could last two weeks without her. I’d be a fucking wreck. And I couldn’t stop thinking about her and how fuckingly, smokingly, gorgeous she was. Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. Bam! Suck on that, Manny.

It wouldn’t be long until I left for New York for my meetings with team managers and to check up on how my mother was doing.

It had been four days since our bike ride to Malibu and I craved Niki more than ever. After the newspaper article hit, Rookies blew up big time. I was back to a grueling schedule of work and sleep, work and sleep. Every night the bar was packed with people, coming to shake my hand, telling me what a great thing I was doing, helping Kenny with the bar and his bone marrow transplant.

I still felt a little torn about Kenny and all the secrets being spilled. I felt like a punching bag, sometimes. I promised Niki I’d see someone about it; talk out my feelings so I wouldn’t be tempted to drink them away. But damn, that shit’s expensive. I didn’t have medical insurance and I didn’t have a daddy who paid for everything. But once I get back into racing, my money situation will be right as rain.

I was damn lucky to finally have a night off. With my fingers curled around my cell phone, I did a backwards dive onto my bed wearing nothing but my birthday suit, since I had just showered. After four days of nothing
