Dalon

“Buonasera, un tavolo per due, per favore.” Jane says and again, I can only assume that she is asking for a table. The restaurant that we found is a very small cozy brick building with low lights. It looks romantic, but I know there is no romance happening tonight, or any other night. Not that I would be opposed to it. I have never been with a woman more than two years older than me, but it is probably the same, right?

“You need to teach me how to speak Italian.” I tell Jane as we are lead to a private corner in the back of the restaurant. The couches are a tan brown, nearly blending in with the brick wall. The dim lights casts shadows throughout the restaurant, ensuring that every table has a bit of privacy. Aside from the kitchen making slight noises, the only other sound you can hear is soft music playing in the background. If I ever decide to get serious with a woman, this is definitely a place I would take her. My eyes move from the setting back to Jane and the idea starts

  • Fuel Me, Break Me, Love Me   Chapter 45: A little too late

    DalonI fucked up, big time. There is no denying that. As I pace up and down in my hotel room, Tiane lying on the bed that I won’t be touching again, even if she is lying there fully clothed, reading the book that I haven’t been able to read because I stopped going to school when I was fifteen and couldn’t split my focus between my racing career and attending classes and studying for exams. I did get my GED, but even that was by pure luck. I can read, but it is a struggle, and I wish I had just told Jena that from the start instead of pretending that letters didn’t get mixed around in my head and what would take the average person minutes to read a passage would take me half an hour.After Jena left the restaurant, nearly getting hit by a car in the process, I went back to Tiane and asked her for her help. I need to know what Jena said in this book. As Tiane reads the book out load, I start to feel more and more sick by the second. I read the first six chapters, but that was basicall

  • Fuel Me, Break Me, Love Me   Chapter 44: The set up

    RejenaI didn’t have something that I would consider classy, so after I sent my resignation letter, informing HR that I will be doing my exit interview in three days, I decided to go out and find something that will hopefully knock the breath right out of Dalon. Tonight, I am going to tell him exactly how I feel. No more beating around the bush. I want a life with him and I want to be by his side as his woman, not as a friend or a potential partner. I want to be his partner, his cheerleader, his biggest supporter. I don’t want to wonder if we will ever be more, or if he might not truly be as interested as I think he is. I want to know, and I want him to know. He might have read my book, but I can understand if he might not be sure if I still feel the same.I choose a daring black dress that sits on me like a second skin. The front drops low enough to show cleavage, but still decent enough that the girls will stay in place and not look ready to slip out and flash the public. At my thig

  • Fuel Me, Break Me, Love Me   Chapter 43: Drastic measures

    DalonJena didn’t even realize that I had walked in on her conversation. Admittedly, I only heard the end of the conversation, but it was all I needed to hear. She is going home, and she isn’t giving me much warning. She is doing exactly what I had done to her when I had left Italy. She might give me last-minute notice, but that is it. Did I read too much into last night? Did I scare her off by sleeping in the same bed? Or was it the fact that I brought her to my home?Instead of trying to figure out myself what the hell I had done wrong, I call my group chat for advice. Yes, I know how bizarre it is that I have a group chat, but we practically see each other ten months out of the year, we were bound to for a bond that very few would understand, and if anyone is going to be able to give me advice on what to do, it will be the drivers that I have spent the past five years with.“Really Dalon, this early in the morning? You know, unlike you, we were actually at the party last night.” Ca

  • Fuel Me, Break Me, Love Me   Chapter 42: You love him

    RejenaThere is only an hour time difference between the UK and South Africa, but still I sit at my laptop at 4am, trying to get a head start on all my work in the hopes that I can log off early and spend some time with Dalon. Waking up, wrapped around him, his hand holding onto my knee protectively as if he is afraid to hurt me even in his sleep, has made this yearning for him grow tenfold. I no longer just want to see where this will go, I want this to work more than anything else. The only problem is, I miss my life, my dogs, my parents, my sister and brother. I can’t say I particularly miss my friends, as we have all drifted apart after Collen passed away and I had poured myself into my work.My phone vibrating on the table next to me, has my nearly jumping, not expecting anyone to call me this early in the morning. When I look at my phone and see that it is Dan, dread floods my system. It is never a good thing if he calls me this early in the morning.“Good morning Dan, isn’t it

  • Fuel Me, Break Me, Love Me   Chapter 41: Getting to know her

    DalonInstead of going to the afterparty like the other drivers have done, I took Rejena to my house that I keep in London for when I come to visit my parents or for my home race weekends. I didn’t plan on bringing Jena here, as I didn’t want her to feel pressured. We have been doing amazing after the club and, drunk session we had in her room. We feel more comfortable with each other.When I drove away from the track, I wasn’t even thinking about where I was going, I just drove. I only realized where I was heading when I was practically up my driveway. I should probably have turned around and gone back to the hotel, but then I looked at Jena sleeping in the passenger seat and all I wanted at that moment was to give her a bed that wasn’t in another hotel room. I wanted to see her in my bed, hopefully in my clothes as all her clothes would be at the hotel. Luckily, she has her laptop with her wherever she goes, which means we don’t have to get up at dawn to get it from the hotel. Her s

  • Fuel Me, Break Me, Love Me   Chapter 40: Won't feel a thing

    Dalon“Dalon, how do you feel about coming third in your home race? After winning so many races and then coming back to home soil, only to place third? How are you feeling?” This really is the worst part about my job.“It suck, but I made a few risky moves that had ended up costing me a lot of time, and also a place on the grid. I guess the best I can do is learn from the experience and then just try again at the next race. No point in drowning in regret when the next race is just around the corner.” I tell him, already trying to move on from the race that I had left behind and focus on doing better in the next race. I can go ahead and watch the footage again and again and try and see where I had gone wrong, but I already know where I fucked up and I know what I will have to work on to ensure it doesn’t happen in the next race.“You tried taking on Michael on the inside and ended up being pushed off the track, you sounded quite upset in that moment. Do you still feel he should’ve gott
