sage's point of view

"please wait while directions are downloaded" the female monotone voice spoke from the GPS whilst everyone was revving their engines continuously "proceed to the highlighted route... 10... 9" the device downloaded the route and loaded it in before it started counting down from ten

me being in between dom and brian, who were staring at each other intensely and competitively – my figure seemingly not intervening in their line of sight

"you sure you want to do this?" dom asked not breaking his gaze from brian

"a lot has changed" the reply seemed to end the exchange of words – dom retracted his vision from brian and shifted toward me, a competitive but small smile present on my features

both of us didn't break the eye contact until the countdown reached below five
4... 3... 2.. 1... GO

all four cars pulled away, i focused on the road in front of me, pressing the gas at the needed level  "right turn ahead" the GPS spoke making me take a sharp turn to the right – swerving cars in between  "you are now five miles from your destination"

"you know, i think i like gisele's voice more than yours" i whispered to myself  as the voice seemed to distract me more than it should've

i often made sudden turns – the traffic cars clash into each other, during the race it was clear that there was tension between brian and dom – they seemed to have a problem with one another and it showed, especially while racing they were constantly clashing against each other, but i wasn't worrying about their problems in that moment, i was focused on was winning this race

as i constantly avoided the incoming cars i saw brian take a completely different route but focused myself when the GPS spoke "right turn ahead"

my breath hitched once i glided past the sharp right turn, dom and i's vehicles being extremely close

i had come to the realization that me and dom were the only ones remaining
brian's whereabouts still remaining a mystery  "you are 1 mile from destination"

the bright color of a car caught my eye and it couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's than brian's – surprisingly while being the only competition of dom he was racing fairly – not attempting to cheat in any way

the charger had fallen back once it's driver took notice of brian's presence the two starting their nonsense again

"you are now one quarter mile from your destination" i glanced in the rear view mirror seeing dom speeding up and catching up to me – i could only guess that he had pressed the nitrous – seconds later brian's car joined making dom fall back just a little bit before smashing into brian making his car spin multiple times

this time when dom approached me he swerved his car into mine, as an attempt to slow me down – but me reenacting his actions made our cars rattle

before any of us could bump each other again, both me and dom passed the finish line "you have reached your destination, good-bye" the GPS confirmed our arrival making me let out a breath

when me and dom got out of our vehicles he glanced back at me and nodded – me doing the same as a gesture of a good race but dom got ripped away when fenix walked over to him

"atleast we know you can't beat me, straight up!" brian appeared shortly after – his words clearly directed to dom "i didn't know there were any rules"

"tremendo, jefe! ¡así me gusta! now that's what i call real driving" fenix said as he clapped when reaching dom, congratulating him

i rolled my eyes and managed to escape the oncoming chaos that was rand people cheering – walking over to campos or as i knew him braga, who was leaning against one of his car's – watching the scene unfold

"those two have a problem with eachother" i said pointing to brian and dom – meeting the bosses eyes and shrugging before walking away and disappearing into the crowd

i made my way to the golf tower where braga had been previously playing – shortly after footsteps were heard coming up the stairs making me glance over to the door, seeing braga and fenix walk in

"how do you enjoy playing this?" i questioned genuinely curious – with a golf stick in my hand

"everyone has their hobby" the reply made me hum while braga joined me – me hand over the stick and him accepting it

"aw my baby mad cuz she didn't win the race?" fenix taunted when i walked toward then past him – me holding up both of my middle fingers in response

"you know you hot as shit when you mad" the failed complement couldn't even be responded by me because braga chipped into the conversation
"mira me, this is why i call him your boyfriend" him motioning to the two of us

"you call me her boyfriend?" fenix did a double take at our boss once he'd processed his words, a frown on his face

he looked at me for an answer whilst i joined his side – i could only shrug my shoulders before putting a beer that i had gotten along with of for myself and one for braga infront of him – who gratefully accepted it

"thank you baby" fenix added lowly while i offered braga his beer, him accepting it aswell with a 'thank you'
