Chapter 19: free pass to bed
"If you want this then we shall compete against each other," Andrew said while getting inside of his car.
David and Mateo was looking at him like he was some sort of hero. Veronica smirked before walking towards the other car which was Mateo's.
She was stopped by David.
"Don't you want to use your car?"
"No I don't. I am taking Mateo's car. I am sure that he doesn't have any problem with it, do you Mateo?" She said with a meaningful look that says,
'say that you have a problem and I will slice your head open.'
"No, I obviously don't have any problem. In fact, if you use my car then I would be more than glad," Mateo said with a nervous chuckle.
After throwing another look at them, Veronica got in her car.
Andrew was looking at her through his window and he has already accepted his defeat.
He was more than ready to lose against her. It might seem too cringe and pathetic to lots of people but he was a boy in love.
He was ready to watch her at top, even if means him losing. He wholeheartedly wanted her to win.
It's as if Veronica what was going inside of his head, she turned her head at him.
"Try your best to win because whoever wins will get to ask something from the other side and they must give them that. No won't be accepted," she said and he nodded his head.
The sudden urge to win against her and make her do however he wants her to do was growing with each passing second but at the same time, he still wanted her to win.
He wanted her to win because according to him, it she has set this bet then it means that there must be something that she wants from him.
And who was he to deny her wish? He was hers and he would be more than happy to make her happy.
At this point, his heart was on a fifty-fifty side. Both was a win and he had nothing to lose anyways.
He has already given himself to her.
Irony is if Veronica could hear his thoughts then she would have slapped him hard on his face for making such bad jokes.
He was still a coward in her eyes, someone who couldn't fight against his own family for her.
She never wanted him to leave his family and come with her. She just wanted a small place in his family and life.
After not doing anything when the time was right, he was showering her with love now.
This itself was annoying to her but who was going to tell her that his love was always the same but he just wasn't man enough to take a step towards his happiness, toward her.
And now that he has finally overcome his fears and was mature enough to fight for his love, he was doing the exact same thing.
The race started and their eyes were on the final destination.
Andrew didn't want to win but he didn't want a miserable lose either. He wanted to lost with respect, at a average cost.
This situation of his was the same as students who fail in every test. They knew that they are going to fail this time as well but rather than studying to pass, they start to worry about how to fail with a respectable mark like getting an F was respectable.
Veronica started first and Andrew turned his speed faster as well but all of a sudden, his phone started ringing.
He picked it up and received it, all while still driving with the same speed.
"Don't you want to know what the reward is if you win?" It was Veronica.
He was confused as why she was calling him now. Both of them were in the middle of a racing competition for crying out loud.
"I will never understand what's going inside of your head but since you called,it must be something important. What's the reward?" he asked while clenching his teeth.
She was distracting herself as well as him.
"You will get a free pass in my bed if you win." And the line went off.
