“Are we doing this or not?” Lux says, stepping into the hallway. There are a few woops and ‘hell yeahs’ breaking the tension between Wilder and I. Cyrus slips her hand into mine, I look down at her hand and step back from Wilder.
“He isn’t worth it,” she whispers, and I nod.
We make our way downstairs to our underground parking, and everyone piles into their buggies. I pull Cyrus over to my cart.
“You’re with me and Drixx.” I let go of her hand so we can get in, and she jumps into the back.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I snap, looking back over my shoulder at her.
“You said that I was with you,” she stammers, unsure of what I wanted from her.
“Get out.” She does as I say and jumps from the cart. “In the front.”
Drixx takes her place in the back seat, giving me a wide smile. Within minutes, we’re off, out of the parking garage and down the main road. Everyone laughs as we try to overtake each other. After about ten minutes, we come to a secluded opening, and all four carts pull up alongside each other, and everyone jumps out.
We call this game ‘Whack Fuck’ because you simply whack the ball, and chances are, by the end of the game, you will be fucked up from falling from the cart or someone purposefully smashing into you. It’s our tradition after our first fights every year. The Alphas play, and their girls meet at the water hole. We only allow the seniors to play, the younger Alphas will be at the lake when we arrive.
“Since we have a few newbies today, we’ll go over the rules. There really aren’t any, you all pick a club, there’s one ball, and the aim is to not stop your cart. It must always be moving, and you need to follow the course to the end. We have it marked out with red flags, so just follow the road if you’re unsure of where you can and can’t go. You must get the ball into the lake. Remember, if anyone falls from the cart, you have to circle back and get them straight away, but you have to keep the cart moving,” Cuyler announces. “I look forward to whooping your asses.”
We do rock, paper, scissors until I win, each and every one of them is predictable. I take the ball, which looks more like a large tennis ball than a golf ball, and everyone gets into their carts.
“Do I need one of those?” Cyrus asks me when we reach my cart.
“Nope, you’re driving.” I state, and her mouth falls open.
“Me?” She looks me dead in the eyes, and I nod. She opens her mouth to protest, but I don’t give her a chance.
“Yes, just remember that no matter what, do not stop the cart, even if we fall off and we will, these fuckers play dirty. Just circle back around, and we’ll jump back on. Watch out for Lux, she’s the worst.”
She nods as I talk, understanding what I’m telling her.
“Okay, let’s do this and kick some ass.” She says with a giggle. I smirk at her for pretending to be excited. I can see the way she grasps the edge of her long sleeve shirt.
“That’s the spirit.” Drixx says, joining us. “As soon as D man hits the ball, floor it. Just follow the ball, it's that simple, we’ll hit it where it needs to be.”
Once everyone is loaded and ready to go, I flip my hat backwards and tuck all the loose hairs behind my ears.
I nod, and Cyrus nods back. I drop the ball and smash it into the open clearing. She plants her foot on the gas, the back end fishtails lunging us forward. Lux speeds her cart towards ours with a wicked glint in her eyes. Cyrus swerves, missing the oncoming cart, and she laughs. I angle my body inside the cart more, and Cyrus returns the favour, cutting in front of Lux, causing her cart to slide to the side.
Cyrus’ laughter is music to my ears, I never thought I would say that about anyone ever again. I find myself lost in thought when the cart suddenly stops, and I fall from the side.
Chapter Seventeen
Cyrus
Diesel hits the ground hard, he will for sure have gravel rash, and it will hurt like a bitch later. I circle back, and he is ready to jump back on, determination written all over his face not to miss. He leaps onto the side of the cart and pulls himself in. He dusts the dirt from his arms and is back in the standing position to get the ball.
“Hold on tight,” I yell to the boys so they can hear me as Lux brings their cart towards us. I side swipe them, and the kid I’m pretty sure is named Huntley falls from the back, forcing her to circle back. Drixx leans forward with a laugh and high fives me. I can see Luna pulling in close behind me and Cuyler pulling up to my right. He smiles at me, causing me to lose concentration. Drixx leans out of the cart and pushes an unexpecting triplet from the back of Cuyler’s cart. I poke my tongue at Cuyler as he turns off to pick up his fallen passenger.
Drixx lines up the ball and smashes it towards a narrow clearing, my heart thuds when I see a mound of dirt.
“Just hit it full speed and hold on to the wheel.” Diesel yells, and I nod, readying myself, even though my palms are sweaty and so much could go wrong, but I plant my foot, flooring it as much as this cart will allow. Luna, Wilder, and Draven are beside us.
Cuyler's cart, consisting of Rebel and Rogue, gains on us, and so does Lux and the guys with her. Lux rams Cuyler's cart, causing them to jolt forward, and Rebel hangs out of his cart yelling, “Here fishy, fishy, fishy.” As Cuyler gains on them, the comment caused Luna to slow her cart down, giving Cuy the advantage to pull up next to us.
“Hold on boys,” I call out, giving them enough warning. I side swipe Cuyler's cart straight on the side Rebel is standing, causing him to lose his balance and slip off the side. He has a good grip, and he gets dragged for a second before righting himself.
We hit the mound first, and the cart launches in the air, my butt leaving the seat before coming down hard; that will leave a bruise tomorrow.
