Chapter 321 - A Rushed Wedding (5)

19 April, LY Studio, City K

Abigail knowing who Lexi was referring to responded loudly "Are you threatening us with my colonel of a brother-in-law?"

"Absolutely. But I think he, Matthew and their friend and wives will be holding back your sister."

"Monica would never hurt me, she loves me."

"Who knows," quipped Lexi with a smug undertone. Turning to Steven she continued "You wanted help, and yet you want to waste my time standing here totally ignoring me."

"Who had to come out and meet us, rather than waiting inside where it is safe, which after last weekend, I think your husband would want."

"Who, Mr Major-General…"

Shocked, Steven spat out "What!"

Laughing Lexi said, trying to sound as innocent as possible "Oops I forgot to tell you his promotion was announced yesterday."

Abigail, smiled. That explained why her brother-in-law has posted here. What she knew about the military from speaking to Monica is that it would be unusual for so many colonels to be appointed to a base at once unless a serious situation impacted the base. But that promotion explained some things. But the thing she wondered was what did they do? Monica refused to let on anything about the posting, and despite being curious could not find out much.

"You, you, you…"

"What Steven Gu, witch, b*tch or do you want to throw some other insult at me. Remember I know most of your secrets and you want to insult me Matthew will help me make your life a misery through bringing them out."

Shaking his head Steven said "And you call yourself my friend through wanting to bring up the past. Remember Miss Junior I know what you got up to in your childhood…"

"Matthew knows those things, so threats of that nature do not worry me."

"Lexi, we all have secrets. What yours is, I have no idea, but when it comes out…"

"Steven!" shouted Lexi. The last thing that she wanted was him to go on about secrets. Her big secret would be earth shattering when it came out.

Steven laughed, and looked towards Abigail who he could see was relaxing. At least at this moment in time the worries about her mother were gone. As Steven returned to his car to take out his suits Lexi turned and said, "You know Mercedes sedan's like this are trash."

"Opinions Lexi. You are a mother and all you want to drive is high performance flashy cars all the time…"

"Hey, I have SUV's in my collection and drive those with Dominic around."

"A Porsche, let me think what else? Performance vehicles, flashy…"

"At least I know a good performance vehicle though."

"True, and you do know how to drive them, unlike your brothers. Speaking of knowing how to drive performance vehicles, I know you got your second-hand Bugatti Veyron and I guess you will have spent a fortune on that but I finally was able to get second hand the…"

"You mean you finally got from Australia that Holden Monaro that you were after. You better let me drive that."

"It has taken a couple of years to finally get my hands on one. But you can take my classic Shelby Cobra for a spin as I am going to drive the Monaro before you."

"Spoilsport. How about you let me drive it first and I will do the favour you asked for before."

"Fine, I can quite easily go to your competition and it will cost me less emotionally, but you will miss out on the gossip first…"

"Decisions, Decisions. Gossip first, you know I hate to be the last to hear about things. However, Steven it better be worthwhile as I really want to drive that car."

"It will be, but how about I sweeten the deal. When I purchased the Monaro, I heard about a company in Australia that does ride and drive sessions in performance cars and some race circuits and I was able to secure some packages for Bathurst, after the endurance race there, plus hospitality tickets for the race."

"Deal. You know that has been a place I want to drive. Now come on, let us go in and you can tell me specifically what you want, and give me those suits so I can see options, as it appears that you are taking Abigail somewhere and want to show support."

With that Lexi grabbed suit bags from Steven, and as they trailed behind her seeing the confusion on Abigail's face he said "Lexi and I collect performance vehicles. I tend to look on the occasions famous American or Australia Mussel Car and keep more fitting everyday vehicles. Lexi loves her European performance cars like Porsches, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis and drives high profile vehicles all the time, much to Matthew's displeasure. We both love to get to racetracks and let the vehicles loose. And before you ask, we have the skills. As teenagers our parents, along with the Rong's and the Nang's arranged for all of us to have basic and then advanced driving lessons, including them paying professional race drivers to teach us skills. Lexi and I were good, and that has continued. If you want, I can arrange for those for you."

"This Bathurst? Those rides? Are you giving them up? "

"No way. I am only giving her a package, but I still have others. Bathurst is somewhere Lexi has always wanted to drive. What she does not know is this was going to be her birthday present. All I am doing is giving it to her early."

"You meanie. What is she going to say when she finds that out."

"Actually, I do not care. It is simply going to be fun to watch," laughed Steven.
