"If it isn't the cheater and the husband who can't stand her," Chester's voice pierced my ears while I was standing with Julian and Tanner. When I looked up. I saw Fiona with him.

"Can't stand her? Is that what you tell yourself to sooth your aching wounds?" Julian smirked and pulled me against him and kissed my temple "Nice show," Fiona scoffed.

as I leaned against

"Giving you a show means that I care about what you think and honestly there isn't a single fuck that I can give I shrugged as Julian, I knew Fiona well. She was doing her best to hide her anger "Are you enjoying my leftovers, Julian?" Chester was trying to get a rise out of Julian.

Julian took a step towards Chester, but I quickly pulled him back, not wanting to attract any attention. "He's not worth it," I told him, then turned to look at my asshole of an ex. He was in a black leather jacket, a white t- shirt, and black pants. As I looked at him, I wondered how I was in love with him. Which spell was Lexactly under? *1 have a feeling that you're not content with what you have, Chester. That's why you keep annoying Julian. and me.

"You're so full of yoursell Fiona rolled her eyes, making me laugh.

"Me! Honey, you need to keep an eye on your boyfriend. He

is the one who keeps messaging me and telling me that he misses me. By the look on her face, it seemed like what I said was completely new to her. "And Chester, thank you so much for leaving me without hearing me out that day. Because of the two of you, I have the be 1 turned to Tanner and Julian and said, "Can we stand somewhere else? It smells like assholes and bitches here."

Tanner seemed like he was doing his best to prevent himself from laughing

"Yeah, it surely seems like it, Julian mattered as he intertwined his fingers with mine. The three of us walked away, leaving Chester and Fiona fuming. Once we were away from them, Julian took me by surprise as he snaked his arm around my waist, picked me up, and br "Give me a break and stop acting like that in front of me, Tanner muttered, causing me to laugh

"It's your best friend, not me," I said.

"I would like to see how you're going to act like when you fall in love." Julian teased him. I found myself stopping at what he had just said. Falling in lover Was he in love with me? No, that would be absurd. He probably did not choose his words carefully. It was too early for "Julian." We all looked up upon seeing the guy who registered Julian's name for the big race as he addressed Julian "Somebody wants to race you tonight. Individually."" "Who?" Julian asked.

"Chester Wilson. Why couldn't he leave us the hell alone?

"I will race him." Julian said without giving it a second thought. The guy nodded and walked away. I looked around and saw Chester looking at us with a smug on his face. I was starting to get worried. Was he planning on hurting Julian?

"Can you get hurt during a race?" I blurted, looking at my husband. I knew Chester. He liked to play dirty. He used to be so proud of destroying his opponents and whenever I voiced out my dislike for his methods, he used to tell me that business was always dirty "I mean se don't need to prove to him anything." I was rambling and my heartbeats were so fast

"Hey, hey" My husband placed a hand on my cheek. "You're panicking. I will be fine. It's not my first time to race somebody individually," he assured me.

"But Chester isn't exactly ethical," I frowned.

"I will be alright. Don't worry." He engulfed me in his embrace and kissed the top of my head.

"Can we at least stand beside your biker What if he messes with it? Was I being overprotective? Probably, but I didn't care.

"Will that make you calm down"" I nodded. "Then let's go,"

Tanner went to meet some of his friends, while Julian and I made our way to where his bike was. I knew that I might be a bit unreasonable, but I knew Chester well. He was petty and known for holding grudges.

"Do you want something to drink! Hot chocolate maybe!" Julian offered, but I shook my head. I couldn't eat or drink while I was nervous. "If I win, how are you going to reward me?" The playfulness in his voice made me giggle. "How would you!

you like to be rewarded!" I folded my arms over my chest as I leaned against the bike.

"You know how." A devilish smirk appeared on his lips.

"Win first, then we can discuss your reward." I stuck my tongue out at him.

Just when he was about to say something, his name was called to get ready for the race against Chester. I walked to the front lines with Julian. People were already starting to gather. Even Tanner was already there, "Stay with Tanner, okay?" Julian told me and I nodded. "Where's my good luck kiss?" I smiled when he said that and leaned to kiss him.

He seemed pretty confident, which was enough to ease my nerves a little.

He put on his helmet and went to the rink, I saw Fiona standing not so Far away from me. She was shooting daggers at me. Her hatred was deep and nothing could ever make her treat me with respect. Tanner, is Julian reckless while racing" I couldn't help but ask.

"I wouldn't say reckless, but I can assure you that he knows what he's doing." I didn't know what to make of Tanner's answer. "He has been racing for four years. Emily."

"What about Chester?" I asked.

"Five." I hissed under my breath, but the number of years might not be relevant. It was all about the skill, right?

A gasp escaped my mouth when the two of their drove off. My eyes were fixated on Julian until he was out of sight. Was there anybody to note if somebody played dirty? What if Chester hurt him while they were out of sight? "Chester is going to wipe the floor with his ass" I snapped my head to my right and saw Fiona with a smirk on her lips.

"You're both sick and you disgust me," I hissed, trying not to attract any attention to us.

"Fiona, leave. Tanner's voice was calm but menacing at the same time.

"I hope he gets hurt," she said before walking away.

""He's not going to get hurt, Emily, Trust him," Tanner assured me

Soon, the first lap ended with Julian winning, but in the second one, Chester won. Only one lap was left. I kept rocking my right leg out of worry and nervousness as I kept my eyes on the rink. The two of them were suddenly in our sight and it seemed like Chester was about to win

I didn't care about his winning. I just wanted that race to come to an end. I wanted him to get back home with me safe and sound. As we were all watching, Julian managed to surprise all of us because only a few meters away from the finish line, he sped off. It was clear People cheered for him and gathered around him. I was finally able to let out a breath I was holding. He was safe. He didn't get hurt.

"What are you waiting for? You're his wife. Co congratulate him, Tanner said, giving me a slight nudge.

I found my way to him despite the amount of people around him. Once he saw me, he pulled me towards him and kissed my laps in front of everybody.

"Congratulations," I grinned when we pulled apart.

"Didn't you give me a good luck kiss! I was obviously destined to win." I blushed when he said that.

I looked over at Chester and noticed how pissed he was I wanted to flip him off, but I didn't want to make a verne.

"Julian, Emily. Let me take a picture of you two!" Somebody I didn't recognize hollered, Julian brought me in front of him and kissed my cheek from behind as the guy snapped a picture of us. "I will send it to you, man!"

Julian thanked him and we both headed to a quieter area. "Now you can get me that hot chocolate," I said, making him laugh. "I was worried! You can't blame met

"You gotta start believing in me," he told me as he threw his arm around my

shoulders.

"I believe in you and I trust you, but I don't trust Chester," I replied, resting my head on his shoulder.

He pulled his phone out when he received a notification. I looked away, not wanting to snoop.

"You look absolutely stunning herr Look?" He brought his phone towards me. It was the picture that guy took of us. This is going to be my new wallpaper. I need to look at your pretty face every once in a while." My husband was surely cheesy, but he still owned every single bit of my heart..
