"A Race For Love"
by Sue 

***Part Two***


          Race Bannon just stood there at the door just admiring Nikki
Fuentes.  Race couldn't believe that the beautiful, sexy Nikki Fuentes was
standing in the doorway.
          "Hello, Nikki, and yes, I am Race Bannon," as he reached out his
hand and took her hand.  "Why don't you come in?"
          "Race, who is at...the...door?" asked Jonny walked towards Nikki
Fuentes.  "Hello, you are Nikki Fuentes.  I'm..."
          "Engaged, to me," interrupted Jessie as she walked up right next to
Jonny.  "Hi, I'm Jessie Bannon, and this is my fiance, Jonny Quest." 
          Race, Nikki, Jonny, and Jessie went into the living room, and sat
down on the sofa.
          "Hello, it's really nice to meet all of you," said Nikki gratefully.
"Now, Mr. Bannon, I was wondering if I could borrow you as my bodyguard."
          "Please, call me Race," said Race charmingly.  "Now, let me get this
straight, you want to hire me as your bodyguard?"
          "Well, that is, if it's okay with Dr. Quest," replied Nikki.
          "I'll get Dad," answered Jonny as he left the room.
          "Wait.  You want my dad to work for you?" asked Jessie skeptically.
          "Well, you know, I am gonna be in town for about a month, and I
don't have a bodyguard," Nikki explained.  "And, I sure could use one."
          Jessie didn't seem so sure about Nikki Fuentes, and was kind of
suspicious.
          "Well...I have to ask the Doctor first, and see what he says,"
answered Race.  "But...I would absolutely love to work for you as your
bodyguard."  Race gently took Nikki's hand, and kissed it lightly.  All Nikki
could do was sit there, and gaze into Races beautiful, blue eyes with her
heart pounding.  In fact, Nikki could've sworn that her heart had stopped at
the moment Race kissed her hand.
           "Hello, Nikki, I'm Dr. Quest," Benton introduced himself.  "I hear
you want to hire Race as your bodyguard."  He said with a smile.
           Nikki got up, and turned around to face Benton.
           "Uh...if that's okay with you, Dr. Quest," Nikki replied.  "I
really could use one, and when I heard about Race, I immediately took the
opportunity."
           "Well, I guess I could lend him to you," decided Benton with a
smile.
           "Really?  Thanks, Dr, Quest," said Nikki excitedly.
           "Hey, no problem.  I'm sure we can survive without him for awhile,"
answered Benton.
           "Hey, Nikki, why don't I show you around the Quest Compound,"  Race
offered.
           "Sure, that sounds nice," flirted Nikki.
           Race and Nikki both got up off the sofa, and left the room.
           "Oh, shit," Jonny reacted to what he just saw.
           "What, Jonny?" asked Jessie.
           "Sweetheart, your dad has it bad."
           "Jonny Quest, what are you talking about?"
           "Jess, can't you see the way your father was flirting with Nikki
Fuentes?  Your dad is falling in love with with Nikki Fuentes,"


           Nikki Fuentes and Race Bannon were outside of the Quest Compound
sitting on the ground near the edge of the cliff, underneath the evening,
starry sky.  They were looking at the ocean.
           "Wow, what a nice place you have here, Race," said Nikki
admiringly.  "It certainly is big."
           "Well, from what I've heard, your place in California is no shack
either," replied Race.
           "Well, I guess you can say my house is pretty big," commented
Nikki.
           "Big?  Nikki, you live in a mansion.  Don't you?"
           "Yeah, yeah.  So, what's it like working for Dr. Quest? asked
Nikki.
           "Oh...interesting...exciting," anwered Race.
           "Dr. Quest hired you to protect his son, right?" wondered Nikki.
           "Uh...yeah, and tutored Jonny, Hadji, and my daughter, Jessie,"
answered Race.
           "Hadji?" asked Nikki.
           "Oh, Hadji Singh is Dr. Quest adopted son," replied Race.  "He is
from India, and he is now part-time sultan with his mother of Bangalore.   He
is there now."
           "Wow, sultan?  It must be nice to know that you are friends of a
sultan, huh?" said Nikki impressed.
           "Yeah, it is," answered Race as he gazed into Nikki's beautiful
brown eyes.  "You know, have such beautiful eyes.  I just look at 'em, and
it's like I get lost in 'em."
           "Oh, Race, you probably say that to all the girls," blushed Nikki
as she gazed into Race's piercing blue eyes.
           "But, Nikki, I just can't stop looking at you," said Race
passionately.   
           Then, just at that moment, Race drew his head closer to Nikki's,
and passionately touched his lips against hers.  Nikki wrapped her arms around
Race in  an embrace with a deep, lusterous kiss that seemed to go on forever.
Finally, they break apart.
           "Wow.  Umm...I should really get back to the hotel," Nikki realized
as she got up, and headed for her car.
           "Uh...okay.  You want me to go with you?" Race offered, as he got
up and followed her.
           "Uh...you don't need to tonight.  Look, why don't you stop by my
hotel room tomorrow.  Let's say...around noon," said Nikki.  "I'm at the
Rockport Sheraton Hotel, room 410.  It's a four-bedroom suite."  As she climed
into her car.
           "Okay, that sounds good," flirted Race.  "I can't wait to start
working for ya.  It's gonna be great.  I'll be there tomorrow at noon."
           "Bye, Race." Nikki drove off.  Race just stood there after Nikki
Fuentes had left.
           "Hey, Race.  So, what do ya think about Nikki Fuentes?" asked Jonny
as he came up behind Race .
           "Shitfire, Jonny, I think I'm in love with her."
