you cheered as the cars sped past you. you noticed a familiar black 2019 dodge challenger and jumped excitedly.
“the8! the8! the8!” you chanted along with the crowd. you moved to raise your arms above your head but instead you ended up smacking someone in the face. you turned to your side and noticed your husband grimace as he held his nose.
“oh my gosh! joshua! are you okay?!” you asked him, worried you had damaged his nose enough to cause bleeding. “here, hold on.”
you stepped forward and removed his hand from his face. you leaned forward and tried to inspect his injury but joshua turned his head, making you frown.
“joshua, honey, let me see. i need to make sure you’re okay.”
joshua turned his face towards you and tried to smile but it came out as grimace. “it’s fine, my nose is just a little sore. see? i’m not even bleeding.”
you scoffed and rolled your eyes but smiled nonetheless. “well maybe if you weren’t so worried about making money from your bets then you would have been watching to make sure you weren’t hit.”
it was joshua’s turn to roll his eyes.
“it’s called doing business. besides, you were too busy cheering for your favorite racer than paying attention to your husband,” he sulked and you playfully punched him in the arm.
“you big baby, we’re watching a race. i’m obviously going to be cheering for my favorite racer.”
joshua rolled his eyes again but smiled at you nonetheless. the two of you just looked at each other for a moment, lost in your own world as the people around you continued to be rowdy, their loud cheering fading into the background.
“-the winner is the8! congratulations!” the announcement of the8’s win brought you back to reality, joshua’s eyes widened and he looked down at his phone, a wide grin forming in his face.
you knew today was another successful night for him.
despite joshua now paying attention to his phone, you smiled fondly. never in a million years would you have thought you would be here, standing next to joshua cheering for your favorite racers.
when you first met, he was quite secretive, never letting anyone become close enough to him to know about his hobbies or anything personal to him. but here you were, the lucky one that he chose to share his life with. including his secret racing career.
“thank you joshua.”
joshua looked up from his phone and glanced at you, a look of confusion crossed his face. “what for?”
“for letting me the one for you.”
joshua’s confusion turned into a look of fondness and he softly chuckled, his eyes closing to form an eye smile.
no words needed to be spoken, his gentle smile and look of adoration told you everything.
“wait!” you shouted suddenly, “i need to get the8’s autograph, i’ll be right back!”
joshua, who was stunned from your sudden outburst, stood silently for a few seconds before cackling loudly.
“i can’t believe you ruined the mood just to get the8’s autograph!” he exclaimed.
“no more time can be wasted, the8 is more important right now.”
and with that you began to run towards the8’s parked car.
“get me a signature too! i need to boast my winnings tonight!” joshua shouted after you.
“only if you buy me a new dodge challenger too!” you shouted back at him.
“y/n!” you giggled at the exasperation in his voice.
yeah, you would never trade this for anything.
