Well, you muse as you gun the throttle a bit, ever since you started delivering pies you’ve had that itch… that need for <span class="mu-s">SPEED!</span>
You can’t really see her since she’s behind you, but guessing by her tone Pepper raised her eyebrow. “... you mean, like, <span class="mu-i">racing?</span>”
Sometimes, you reply with an enthusiastic nod! There’s a few guys you know that meet up and burn rubber now and then–it’s a good way to blow off steam when you aren’t too wiped out from the night shift!
“No kidding!” Remarks your date with intrigue growing in her voice! “Say, do you think-”
Maybe, you shrug, but you don’t really get any notifications about a meetup happening… and even if there <span class="mu-i">was</span> one happening tonight, you’re <span class="mu-i">definitely</span> not taking a date!
“And why, pray tell, would <span class="mu-i">that</span> be?” Counters Pepper with a hint of anger in her tone!
Well, you stammer, you uh… you just… you didn’t think she’d be interested, is all! Does she <span class="mu-i">really</span> wanna be some race floozy-
You feel her grip tighten around your waist to the point of near-boa constrictor status!
“Diesel,” she hisses into your ear in a stern voice, “I would <span class="mu-i">LOVE</span> to be your racing floozy. Any. Day. Of. The. <span class="mu-i">Week</span>.”
Hmm, you begin in a joking tone, she’ll have to wave a flag and wear a bikini th-
“Any. <span class="mu-i">Day</span>.”
Well <span class="mu-i">shit</span>, now you’ve done it…. If you had known a bike race would be a slam dunk you’d have confirmed with Hayden <span class="mu-i">WEEKS</span> ago! Damn it! Well, you sigh as Pepper’s grip loosens a bit, if she’s still down for it after the pier we could always swing by the usual meetup spot!
“I’m good with whatever, sandcrab!” She chirps as she returns back to normal, “As long as you’re part of the plans, I’m all for ‘em!”
Testing the throttle a bit, you look back at your date with a daring glimmer in your eye! Does she wanna speed things up a bit, then? The girl ponders it for a moment and shakes her head.
“Nah… I wanna keep <span class="mu-i">INTERROGATING</span> you!”
Great, you groan, well what else is there to say…
