smirked.
    “I forgot how good beer tasted,” I giggled. “I think the last time I had one when was before Levi was born. My bottle of Boone’s the other night was a long time coming. I woke up with a raging headache the next morning.”
    “Well, I’ll make sure you don’t wake up with a headache tomorrow.” I just shook my head because there was no way that Mitch could guarantee I wouldn’t wake up with a pounding head tomorrow.
    “You ready to go?” Leelee asked Mitch.
    “As ready as I’m going to be. Kurt is the only one I’m worried about.” I looked to the left and saw him still sulking by his car. “Fucker won’t even come stand by us,” Mitch growled.
    “Leelee told me what happened after Vi and I left. I honestly don’t know what the hell crawled up his ass. These past two months have been hell with him around the shop. I hate to say it, but something is going to have to change, or he’s going to find his ass on the street looking for a new job.”
    “You don’t mean that,” Violet said, looking over her shoulder at Luke.
    “I mean it just as much when I say I love you, Vi. Kurt needs to fucking shape up or ship out. I don’t have time to deal with his dumb ass and run the garage.” Luke crossed his arms over his chest and followed everyone's glance to look at Kurt. I had no idea what was going on, but whatever it was, it didn’t sound good for Kurt.
    “I gotta get in the car, Sparky. You good with staying here?” Mitch looked down at me, a small smile on his lips.
    “Um, yeah. But where is the finish line? Shouldn’t I wait for you there?” I figured there had to be a different place I needed to be.
    “Just stay right here. I’ll take off from here and finish here.”
    Oh, well that was convenient. “I guess that works,” I laughed.
    “Yo, you need to get your car lined up, Mitch,” Luke said nudging him.
    Mitch looked at me like he was torn between racing and staying here. “Are you sure you’ll be OK while I’m gone?”
       “Um, as long as Leelee and Violet don’t ditch me I’ll be good. Go race.” Mitch opened his mouth to talk, but nothing came out. “Seriously, Mitch. I am more than OK hanging with Violet. I’m twenty-five, not five.”
    “OK,” he said reluctantly. He leaned in, pressing a kiss to my cheek and whispered, “Wait for me,” in my ear. Talk about swoon worthy.
    He backed away, Luke following him and they both disappeared into the crowd. “Fucking sweet. Sickening,” Leelee said, putting her finger down her throat. “I could handle Luke and Violet, but now I gotta watch you and Mitch get all cutesy? Not fair. I want my own Jensen brother.”
    “Well, there is one left.” Violet hitched her thumb over her shoulder at Kurt and Leelee busted out laughing.
    “Ha! Please, it’ll be a cold day in hell when Kurt and I get together.” Leelee shook her head and grabbed a beer out of the cooler. “Which really is a shame, because he has to be the best looking Jensen brother too.”
    Violet scrunched up her nose and looked at me. “I’m pretty sure Scarlett and I have differing opinions on that.”
    I just shrugged my shoulders. Although I did agree with Violet, I wasn’t ready to say out loud that Mitch was good looking. Or hot. Smoking hot. Oh lord. I had never been one to think bald guys were hot, but it seemed to work on Mitch. Throw in his sculpted body, massive arms, and his drop dead gorgeous smile and it was hard to deny that Mitch was hot.
    “Hey, earth to Scarlett,” Leelee said, waving her hand in my face. “You wanna sit on the tailgate with us or stand.”
    “You’re probably going to end up standing on the bed of the truck,” Luke said, coming back over to stand by Violet.
    Mitch’s car slowly rolled by us, making a wide turn and pulled up next to Kurt’s car. I tried to see in the windows, but they were so heavily tinted that you couldn’t see in. “Is Mitch good?” I suddenly became very nervous and was worried
