mouth at my expense. The fire in my stomach burned into my throat and I turned around to acknowledge him and his belittling crowd behind me.
    It was confirmed when I turned to face him that he was indeed talking about me and my car. Darryl and his followers were staring me down. Darryl sported his ever-confident smirk. I was eager to wipe it of f his ugly grill, so, playing to his emotional weakness, I retaliated.
    “Those are pretty tough words. Too bad they don’t hold water , considering we just watched you get punked out from your ex -lady. You might wanna keep your mouth shut; you’ve already lost one fight tonight. No need to embarrass yourself any further.” I returned a confident smirk.
    His expression went from boastful and confident to enraged and furious at the snap of a finger. It was apparent his rabble didn’t expect me to stand up to their great and wonderful leade r. They looked at him, waiting to see how he would respond. He forcefully stood straight up from the car he was leaning on. “Don’t let your alligator mouth overload your hummingbird ass…boy.” He strutted towards me.
    Before I knew it, he pushed Scruffy aside so he could get right in my face. He barely gave me enough space between his frame and mine so I could stand up from the hood of my car. I met him face to face, nose to nose. “You talk too much. I’m sick of hearing your mouth.”
    “Why don’t you shut it for me, little man ? Make your move.”
    Everything in me was boiling. I wanted to rip his face off. It was important that I kept my cool though, but at the same time I needed to answer his challenge, so I fed the enflamed situation and took another shot at his pride.
    “I’ll tell you what—why don’t you exercise that car of yours the way it was meant to be exercised instead of just driving it around for all of your little girlfriends to enjoy—” I pointed to his buddies standing around smirking, causing them to hiss in disagreement. “—after I beat your butt, maybe you and I get together and talk about part two of your offer. Just be ready for the same results. Sound good to you…brotha?” I moved closer into his face and touched the tip of my nose to his.
    My eyes must have displayed a secret about my true nature, which sometimes happens when I get a little worked up, because his expression went from anger to bewilderment before changing back to cocky as he backed away and threw his arms up.
    “So, you wanna challenge me, huh? My ride against yours?”
    I nodded.
    I broke from our flexing of testosterone and was suddenly aware, much like earlier, all the attention around BNB’s was fixated in one spot again, on us two Alpha Males, and Darryl was playing it up for our audience. I returned the favor and raised my voice a little.
    “Well, if you can stand to leave your girlfriends here for a second so you can strap on a pair big enough to race me, then yeah, my ride against yours. Not for slips, for bragging rights.” I cracked a half smile.
    He backed further away, grinning, still trying to look as if he was in control.
    “The top of River Road, ten minutes . Be there and we’ll see who has the set around here, boy.”
    I nodded once more.
    He was sizing me up, but I could tell he wasn’t sure what to think about my boldness. Far as I know, no one has ever stood up to him this way. Whatever the reason, his cage definitely looked as if I rattled it.
    Sounds of shouts and clapping hands surrounded the venue in anticipation of our race, the renewed excitement of something out of the ordinary caused people to scatter back to their cars so they could get to the starting point of the race first. I kept my glare on my foe until he climbed back into his Camaro with his cronies. He never took his eyes off me, either.
    BNB’s emptied out fast. I shot a look over to where Shade and company were still sitting in their convertible. The whole carload was glaring at me hard as they backed out of their spot. Shade was the
