61 Swifts Pregnant Wife (1/2)

Quinn had an amazed expression and Samantha listened to the conversation not far from her.

”What's swift? And who's that guy with an earring?”

”I thought you knew the hottie?”, Quinn asked with a doubtful expression. ”Anyway… the man next to the one who raced you is Lucas...” She told Samantha about Lucas' family background and that his family and Charlie's have been friends for a long time.

Samantha listened and got intrigued, 'How did Daniel get acquainted with this guy? Boss of an underworld organization? Why would he know someone like him?'

”And Lucas just introduced the hottie to Charlie as Swift. Oh, no wonder!”

”What is that?”

”Oh, right you haven't been here for a long time but many years ago, Lucas went to Country A and he met a friend. He said they became really close like brothers and before he came back here, they used to do a lot of things. One was car racing, and Lucas said Swift met a group of racers back then and the hottie won several matches consecutively. He had a McLaren 12C in Matte Black and one of the best racers in that group named him Swift. That man said that he was reminded of Swift birds which are known as the creatures of the air; swift birds apparently hold the record for longest continuous flight and is believed to be the fastest flier. If he's 'the' Swift, then he must be really skilled. No wonder you lost.”

Samantha was surprised by this information; how did she not know this side of Daniel? Her thoughts went back to the times when they were together, she didn't really know a lot about him and when she thought of this, it hit her. She felt her heart throb after realizing that she didn't put a lot of effort into their relationship. How bad of a girlfriend was she?

She looked at Daniel again and at this moment, her eyes looked really melancholic. 'I'm really sorry, Daniel… I realized once more how unworthy I am of you.'

Daniel caught her gaze and saw the sadness in her eyes, his heart ached, ”Excuse me, gentlemen...”.

He walked towards Samantha..

Seeing Daniel approach her, she suddenly panicked.

”What's wrong?”, Daniel asked with a voice full of concern.

Samantha looked away and composed herself, ”What? Nothing.”

”That wasn't nothing, what were you thinking?”

Samantha smiled at him, ”Nothing, Mr. Cho... or should I say, Swift?”

Daniel shook his head and chuckled, ”That's all in the past.”

Quinn nudged Samantha on the side, ”Hey Kira, don't be stingy and introduce your friend to me.”

”Oh, um... Daniel, this is Quinn, She's a friend of mine.”

”Hi.”, Daniel gave Quinn a polite greeting but inside Daniel's mind, he was secretly happy that Samantha mentioned his name first; that means... he's important, right?

Samantha leaned her back on the bar and watched the guests having fun while Daniel stood beside her.

”What's with the name, Kira?”

”Charlie gave it to me when I arrived here. He said it means 'the dawn' or something.”

”Hmmm.. it suits you, but I like Samantha better.”

”So... why... did you leave?”, Daniel tried if he can get something from her but of course, as expected it's not that easy.

Samantha raised an eyebrow, ”We're not talking about that... we had a deal.”

”Okay...”, Daniel paused for a minute before he continued, ”Don't you remember anything about me? Anything at all?”

At this time, Quinn came back with bottles of beer in her hands and gave one each to Samantha and Daniel. ”Here you go...”

Samantha ignored Daniel's question and commented instead, ”Wow. You and beer?”

”What? I can't drink beer?”, he said before he took a swig from his bottle.

”I just thought you were only a whiskey kind of guy.”

Daniel looked at her in the eyes, ”Why? Do you remember something?”

Samantha bit her inner lip, 'You're so stupid, Sam.', she almost slipped. She only saw Daniel drank champagne, wine or whiskey before. Samantha didn't reply and just drank her beer while avoiding his gaze.

A tall brown haired man walked towards Samantha and started a conversation, ”Hey, I saw your race earlier. My name's Seth. And you are?”

Samantha glanced at Daniel who was currently looking at her and the man, ”Um... Kira.”

Daniel moved closer towards them and spoke, ”Hi Seth, I was in the race earlier too, my name's Swift.”

Seth looked at Daniel, ”Ah. cool.”, and then turned to Samantha again, ”So, do you race often?”

Samantha felt really awkward with Daniel beside her and a stranger trying to hit on her, ”...” Though she never really had any intentions of conversing with the guy, her tongue seemed to have been caught by a cat.
