Yeah, the last two weren’t very exciting but you know, can’t just skip to all the good parts! Hahaha, me and the other fan girls were discussing Lightning and his personality which inspired me to add that ‘mystified’ part, sort of like his face during the waterfall scene. 
I’m very happy you think that I’m keeping the characters true to themselves, that is something important to me so it means a lot. And I promise you guys, this chapter should bring a little more excitement into the story…cough Justin cough. Enjoy!!!
CHAPTER NINETEEN
To start, Sally began with organizing and planning the case to be filed against Chick. She honed her lawyer skills and instincts to lay out a flawless lawsuit. However, there came a point when her work halted. She needed to add in Justin’s input which inevitably meant meeting with him again.
Her insides churned uncomfortably. So far she’d been able to hold their brief kiss as a secret. She’d pushed it to the back of her memory, hoping that it would fade away if left alone. Nonetheless, she knew it had to be revealed to McQueen eventually.
Not yet, we need Justin to benefit us in court first, she reassured herself in attempt to quiet the resurfacing guilt.
Left with no choice she decided to seek Justin out the next day. To prevent any more regretful incidents she invited McQueen along.
“But Sal, I don’t know anything about this legal stuff! I might have the looks in this relationship but you’ve got the brains!” he complained daringly.
Hearing his last sentence she shot him a ‘you-better-finish-that-sentence’ look.
“OK, OK! You’ve got the brains and the beauty part!” he said teasingly. “You know me though, I won’t be any help,” he added timidly.
“That’s not true, we always need moral support! Now let’s go, race me to the Wheel Well Mr. Good-looking,” she called out, taking her head-start as usual.
When they reached the Wheel Well she spotted the bright orange car parked near the gas pumps. She held her view on him until he glanced over. She kept eye contact for a fraction of a second before looking away. The anxiety was already mounting at a quickening pace.
Struggling to remain aloof she greeted him in her most professional voice. She clung closely to McQueen’s side as she did, hoping that Justin would get her message.
“Hey, Justin!” McQueen said in a friendly tone, completely unbeknownst to the electricity flickering between the two lawyers.
Sally felt so guilty and upset she wanted to physically be sick. Her undercarriage throbbed nervously below where Justin had stabbed her. Pushing away the uneasy sensation she forced herself to proceed with the disastrous meeting.
And disastrous it was. During the entire collaboration she knew Justin took her every line to be flirtatious and suggestive. Her cold, strictly-business exterior came off as ‘playing hard to get’ in his opinion. She avoided his dreamy eyes as much as possible and looked to McQueen’s instead. Her fiancée’s didn’t provide much comfort though as he beamed at her intelligence. Obliviously he assumed she was happy with being in Justin’s presence.
Why can’t you see it McQueen? This guy isn’t my ‘best friend’ anymore! she wanted to scream aloud. He had been close to her once in her life. That was before though, when she was a different car…but not now. He was one of the biggest reasons she’d ran from L.A. There was no desire to befriend him anymore. Unlike her parents, she had never missed him.
I don’t want him here, and I don’t want to pretend anymore, she internally cried.
More than anything though, she wanted out of this twisted love-triangle that continued to spiral and intensify with every waking moment.
You guys asked for Justin! :sunglasses: Does anybody else smell drama? Oh, and the chapters should be getting back to normal length or possibly even a bit longer now. Tell me your thoughts! :smiley:
Yes, Justin is what I asked for and Justin is what I got! I’m liking the internal conflict Sally is having. Mwahahaha, now things are really snowballing. Let the drama begin. 
I’m so excited to see McQueen’s reaction when he finds out about the kiss. Will he be angry or sad, or will he understand why it happened and forgive them? QUESTIONS. 
I await your next update! <3
I’m really liking Sally’s conflict right now… as you two said, “DRAMA”! So, good job, and keep up the great work, cause I’m eagerly awaiting the next chapter! 
And 
LOL, just kidding. Take your time, my friend! <3
An update on the kiss…I’m currently writing the chapter where she reveals it! 
I did some light research and tried to make it sound realistic and reasonable so that’s why I kind of brushed over it a bit. Hopefully it is believeable enough though and makes sense.
