...tragic event grading a black mark in the book of records for the IML Bike Tournament; this delinquent effort certainly marred the face of IML Bike Tournament. Well, finally the date was set for today as on Friday the 14th, after taking care of the disaster the bomb explosion caused. The authority assures no more such pranks for this day but inspector Jenkins have gone to take extra measures to take imperative precautions for today's event. Coming back to IML Final Bike Tournament..."

"Oh for god sake, quit it... she's talking rubbish." Alex listened to me without whining and switched off the TV that was in our super specialty room, set up with a security system and bodyguards. I was lying on the bed with two pillows on my head. This room had a separate bedroom with everything comfy and pampering; the perks of being a celebrity.

It was finally the most dreadful day for me. But Alex was in high spirits with a super cheekiness, cheesy grins, and bemused comebacks. I couldn't risk his happiness thus I was playing along. After the loveliest wedding plus the most impressive entertainment I have ever had in my life, I was in dreamland. Yes, ever since Alex whispered the magic potion into my mind I was planning our wedding. In between my planning as well as daydreaming, I completely forgot the dreadful event.

For the love of my Lord, I was grateful for the thought that he will resign from the biking club membership 'if' he wins this tournament. Damn, I only heard about that 'if' condition right on the event's morning. Can I argue to change his decision? No, because it was on the norms or something as he suggested. Well, he can trick me for sure, because I don't know anything about the rules right! So, I will have to meet Mr.Lucas soon 'if' Alex didn't win which I highly doubt.

Well abracadabra, it is show time.

On such a fine morning, the arena was swarming with people. From the look of it, the news reports have attracted many people and the ticket collector did address this crowd as crazy because we were able to scoop more viewers than we had for the actual tournament. Wow. And the most amazing part of this tournament is? They have picked Alex's gang as their best choice. Ding, ding, ding... that means in the end, we will earn few more dollars because people are crazy for his stunts. No, all thanks to Den, it was because of him Alex got instant double popularity.

I did promise Alex to be there with him in the tournament but I never promised anything about being in the arena to watch his show. Simply because I couldn't bear the sight of him and my precious ones marching like some angry ants with their bikes. Yes, I was furious. I was very, very, furious and switched to the nonspeaking Angela mode they never knew. Nat noticing my mood swings left me as it. I was grateful for it. But Alex was a different story.

So, when I groggily snapped at him to off the TV, he swayed to me with a cheesy grin. I flipped my head to the other side. Furious as I can ever be, but he pushed my hair back causing me to flutter and blush. Ages of togetherness still didn't mar my teenage hormones around him. Who cares as long as I and he don't care? Alex kissed on my bare back after pulling the shirt a little down. He brushes his nose with soft chuckles on the spot behind my ear and down to my neck, then my back, making me melt into a puddle of goo.

I haven't understood the chemistry of falling in lust when we are super angry. When I am angry I can never adjust my thoughts to anything even if my lover boy wags his little mystery USB device in my face. How much funny that may look but I will still be the grumpy old cat. But, today, Alex was completely another level. It might be because he was overconfident that this trophy will be in his hands or he might be excited that we are going to be married real soon. Whatever it may be, I assured him that I can only be with him in the excitement zone after he performs the stunt. Until then I am a tidal wave of nausea, nervousness, and grumpiness.

"Hey come here..."

He pulls me close and I can see the hurt and confusion in his eyes. I sigh and smiled at him weakly not wanting to risk his game; because if he has something in his mind, he won't be able to concentrate properly. Thus, I leaned closer and looked deep into his eyes, cupped his face in my hands and leaned closer pressing my body on to his. I could feel the aura radiating in thick shades of pink and deep red. I closed my eyes and inched closer giving him the best experience ever. His lips murmured dark secrets and I etched them on my leaflets. We never loved French kiss and stayed to something less gooey. Today there was something in his lips that keep sending me a thousand flashes of lightning and warm tingles.

From where we were sitting, we could hear a blurred voice which sounded like an announcement. I was sitting on Alex lap, his face immersed into my neck giving me kisses and soft sucking, practically melting me.

Nat chirped in excitedly and rolled her eyes when she saw what we were doing.

"Tell me you didn't call me Alex to show me your live porn."

"Hey, this isn't porn you stupid. What was the announcement all about?"

"Oh, I was about to come in telling you the good news. Well, the announcement was just about the same thing. The ground is clear and this time they are allowing us to go first into the game. The authority rechecked the perimeter three times and made sure that the place is secure for all contestants. Now, our show is about to start within thirty minutes which means you have only a few minutes to dress, rehearse and talk. Stand up, NOW!"

Alex looked at me sadly and noticed my sad half smile but believed it was good to ignore it. Thus, I gave him a sweet kiss and opened my mouth to lick him. Eew, but I did it to lighten him up and from the little shift underneath, I knew he was happy.

After a while, I can hear bikes whirring and zooming, but due to the constant beat in my chest, I was not concentrating. I was busy praying to my lord for their safe return. I finished three ice cream cones by the time they finished their stunts. I was about to finish my fourth chocolate cone when Alex and the others walked in with a huge grin on their face but Alex didn't have that.

"Hey" I smiled at him gratifyingly but he brushed past me and walked into the separate room and locked the door. I stood staring at the path he traveled like I was seeking answers in that part.

"You missed the show."

"But, I was not able to watch it."

"Yea, but he won't understand."

Just in time, Rose walked in clutching on Nat's brand new phone and gave it to her. Nat swiped and gave me the video of them performing.

"I had a hunch you will skip them live, so here it is. Watch and talk accordingly to Alex."

"Thank you, you are a life saver."

I watched with interest their performance and I have to agree, it was very impressive. At about half way through, Alex was about to fall down, just watching that my heart seized breathing but then he covered that in a most brilliant stunt and completed it. I was really feeling sad for not watching them live.

At last, when he didn't come out even after one hour, I bought his favorite three snickers bars, buttered popcorn with baklava. I knocked on his door and waited. After waiting for several minutes, I lose my patience and banged on his door and asked to open up. With a huge grin, he opened up and welcomed me in. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"Man, you are so cheeky."

"Well, it was your fault."

"What? You being cheeky are my fault."

"No, you did not watch my show."

"Well, truth is to be told, why did you attempt to fall down in such a dangerous position?" he was silent for a few minutes making me want to console him but he needs to know that I did watch his show, even though, from Nat's phone.

"Well..."

I scoff, "here has your boost for the day grumpy."

After having his snacks and drank half a carton of orange juice. We planned to undress and snuggle under the duvets. Sex wasn't always the best thing. Sometimes, lying close and hugging your love of the life gave the most beautiful feeling. Right now, we lay under the thick duvet, clinging close to each other like our life depended on it. We didn't talk, we didn't kiss, we didn't make a sound... we just held each other and laid there without sleeping.

What felt like ages, Alex's phone kept on screaming and Alex left me in the remains of his warmth. We didn't realize we were asleep until the phone screamed. His loud excited "really" got me up instantly and I watched him in surprise.

He tossed the phone back to the bed and bowed down to the ground with his head to the ground and got up to show the sign of gratitude to whomsoever was up there. Then, he hugged me tightly and kissed me very passionately and looked in my eyes.

"Dear Angelina, you are my miracle. You are my fine miracle, I won... I won the tournament. We, Red Scars won the overall Championship. Woohoo"

We dressed quickly and walked out to a celebration mode. As we went out to the arena, there were loud cheers and the commentator started oozing liquid compliments for the performance of Red Scars; and our hard work earning them the biggest achievement ever.

Throughout it all, Alex held on to me and sparks flew whenever he looked at me admiringly. The trophy for the overall championship and the check for one million dollars were handed to Alex and the Red Scars, which he instantly halved the price to five orphanages that were working hard to continue their services, earning a place in the newspaper with a fine headline. He beamed proudly for pictures with his Best Stunter award and finally, all faces beamed to the camera holding their overall championship trophy.

It was all too much glitz for me. I was blinking hard and trying to fit into this because I felt like this entertainment was not for me. I don't know why but I felt sad and felt like crying but before I can go anywhere; Alex, gave his trophies to his fellow riders and kneeled down with the same ring he put on my fingers for the first time and asked for me to be his bride in front of the whole paparazzi to witness.

This... was my entertainment. I cried yes. He beamed and then kissed me in front of all his fans. He was now a whopping billionaire.
