We got Nothing Left to do so Wipe the Dirt Off

It’s the first Anaheim race. I’m the group tent area sitting on Nate’s lap and holding on to him since I’m nervous. Mitch comes and smiles at me.

“Are you ready for the race?” Mitch asks.
“Yeah, I been riding a lot on supper cross tracks.”
“Great, I’m sure you do fine. Come on I want you to do an interview for Transworld.”

I look at Nate a little not knowing what it is.

“What’s wrong?” Nate asks.
“What’s Transworld?”

He looks at me wide eyed.

“What’s Transworld?” Nate asks.
“Yeah, I never heard of it.”
“It’s the best magazine here for motocross.”
“Cool.”

I get up and go over and they smile at me.

“So how does it feel being the only girl out here?” The guy asks.
“Um it’s a little nerve racking but that is how anything new feels with me,” I said.
“At the end of the outdoor season you were in the top position and missing out the race caused you to get out of the top spot, but people saw you at the race. So what happen?
“Yeah I was there and ready to compete then my fiancée got hurt and I got on the plane to make sure he is getting the best help there is.”
“What happen to him?”
“He got spooked by a camera in X-fighters.”
“What?”

I title my head confuse with him.

“Who are you engaged to?” He asks.
“Nate Adams.”
“Nate the destroyer Adams? The FMX best rider as of right now?”
“Yeah I guess that’s him. He is a good rider in FMX but I don’t know if he is the best right now. He won x-fighters and X-games this year so I guess that can be a good thing to go for him.”
“Is he a robot?”
“No he is not a robot.”
“So there are no batteries in the back of his head.”
“Right.”

He smiles at me.

“How is Nate doing?” He asks.
“Don come on she is the first women in monster Supercross stop it,” Mitch said.
“Right, Do you think you can beat these guys like you do with the girls?”
“It’s going to be hard but I’m going to try. There are heats and I’m not use to it. I’m use to going just once a day and that is the only chance there is,” I said.
“Are you doing all seasons?”
“No I’m just doing the southerner CA four.”
“Thank you for your time Rose.”
“Welcome, have fun today.”

He smiles at me and they turn the camera off.

“How is Nate doing?” He asks.
“Um,” I said.

I look over and Nate rolls out.

“Hey Don,” Nate said.
“Hey Man. You are in a chair?”
"It be faster if I'm in one today. The leg muscles are gain strength still.
“Ouch. When did you wake up?”
“I woke up some time in October and came home then um.”
“Two weeks then you went back in to a coma,” I said.
“Then I woke up at Christmas and everything got healed in that time but still got to go to rehab."
“That’s at least good. We have to get out and do catch up things on you.”
“Sure thing.”

Monkey looks at me and point to the bike. I get up and go and get in my gear. I get on the bike and he jumps on it. I ride to the course and he gets off.

“Ok we got this. We made runs for a week now let’s do it,” Monkey said.

I nod my head and grab the water and finish it off. I go and ended up in second. Monkey hugs me tight.

“You got it that was so good,” Monkey said.

I nod my head and go over to the haul and start explaining a noise I was hearing that made me afraid to go for triples. They go and start working on it. I go over to the RV and grab food and don’t see Nate there. I look around and don’t see him.

“He went to a box that monster got for some people,” Mitch said.
“Thanks.”

I eat and sit down and start stretching.

“Hey Mitch who is 74?” An Aussie voice said.
“Oh that is Rose.”
“What?”

I get up and see Chad Redd looking at me.

“You were the one who were yelling at him at the last race,” Chad said.
“Yeah fiancée got in a fatal crash," I said.
“Is he ok?”
“Yeah, he is getting there.”
“What happen?”
“A camera freaked him out since it got to close when he was going for a 360.”
“Right.”
“She is one of the crazy women that date a freestyle rider," Mitch said.
“Bilko?”
“No Nate Adams.”
"Now what happen in the heat? You got the third fastest time and took no triples," Mitch asks.
"I didn't feel right on the bike."
"What do you mean?"
"Something came lose in the suspension now it's all fix," Monkey said.

I go and grab my phone and call Nate.

“Is everything fine? You weren’t doing triples,” Nate asks.
“The bike wasn’t perfect making me not feel good on it,” I said.
“That’s all?”
“Yeah I’m fine.”
“Ok good luck in the next round.”
“Thanks.”

“TIME TO RUMMBLE,” Monkey yells.

I giggle and get off the phone with Nate before jumping on the bike and speed off and stop at the gate. Monkey got to his spot. The gate drop and I took off and got the hole shot and made sure to stay away from the other guys knowing if I get hit they might get dirty. I pull off to the side once I won the race. I take off my helmet and smile at Monkey once he comes and take my bike away. I go and start doing interviews. I get off the podium and walk to the haul. I get change and see Nate at the side. I smile and go over to him and kiss his lips. He smiles at me.

“How are you feeling?” Nate asks.
“I think I gotten to in to the supper cross thing. I killed my bike,” Mike said.
“I got it fix by ridding time Monday.”

I smile and Nate kisses my forehead.

“Time to go home?” Nate asks.
“Rose do you want to come out with us?” Tyla asks.
“No thank you,” I sad.
“Are you sure?” Dean asks.
“Yeah.”

Nate and Me go to the car. He gets in and I put the chair in the back of the truck and drive home. I help him in the bedroom. I get in the shower before going and lying down. I cuddle in his chest and smiles at him.

“I’m proud of you,” Nate said.
“I can’t believe that I won.”
“You use that great head of yours and pick lines that will not cause you to not get stuck up with other riders.”

I nod my head and lay my head on his chest. I smile hearing his heart beat.

“What is it?” Nate asks.
“Your heart is beat is strong. It’s just nice hearing after months being in the hospital and it being the sound that gave me hope.”

He kisses my head.

“That is why you always on my left side now. You need to have my heart beat,” Nate said.
“The times I left you are the times you took a turn on to the worst.”
“How is your stress doing?”
“I’m good. We are moving in the house tomorrow.”
“What are you going to do with this?”

I smile at Nate and kiss his lips.

“I’m making my office when I get nationals started and have a good garage and things to start building a track.”
“Whao.”
“Yeah it’s going to be our private track for a while.”
“Ok that’s good.”

I smile and close my eyes.

“Rose?” Nate asks.
“Um?”
“I love you.”

I kiss his chest.

“I love you too.”

I cuddle deeper in his arms.
