They reached Clanton in the evening. They went to a hotel which is near the central Alabama speedway. He booked two rooms for Adrian and him and another for Katherine.
They kept luggage in their respective rooms and freshened up. They had dinner in the restaurant and returned to the hotel. Kathrine wished him good night and went to her room to sleep.
She changed to satin knee-length nightwear and laid on the bed to sleep. She was so excited to see when he was riding the motorbike in the race. Imagining Adrian closing her eyes, she smiled to herself. After a while, she was yawning because of the journey and felt so tired. When she closed her eyes to sleep, someone knocked on the door. She rubbed her eyes and thought who came at this time. She walked towards the door and asked who it was. She was scared to open the door as it was the new place.
Just in time, she heard her mobile phone ringing. She instantly attended the call when she noticed the call was from Adrian.
" Open the door...I am standing outside" he said.
She quickly opened the door and asked him, placing her hand on the door standing at the entrance of her room, " why did he disturb my sleep?"
He took away the hand on the door and pulled her inside by her arms then closed the door behind them. She was amazed to see him in her room and her heart started racing. He laid on the bed like a royal king and opened out his arms with a bright smile looking at her.
" Let me cuddle you and sleep. I am so tired ….buttercup" he said like a small kid.
" But…. " She tried to say something. Before he strode towards her and lifted her in his arms. He placed his long finger on her lips and hushed her with his ocean blue eyes.
He gently placed her on the bed and laid beside her.
" I need to take proper sleep before participating in the race. This race is very important to me. I don't like telling lies to her. So I thought to hide my participation in the motorbike races from my mother." He informed cuddling her.
She raised her head and looked at him, thinning her eyebrows. She palmed his face and was listening to him. He experienced the feathery touch by her soft palms and took them into his hands and kissed her palms with his warm lips.
" Yours one touch and your one smile makes me feel peace…." He said, kissing her palms again.
She smiled shyly and placed her hands around his torso. She looked at him and asked him suddenly, " why race is so important to you and why do hid it from your mom? "
" If I win this race, I will win the Champions Trophy and also a cash prize. I want to win so that I can start my project of designing a new car model which assumes less fuel. " He informed her.
Then she understood that he was so thoughtful about his future and his ambition. She kissed his nose and encouraged him, " Hard work and dedication always pay back to us. You will surely win the race"
" Thank you so much… Buttercup" he pecked her forehead. She smiled and ruffled his hair at his forehead.
" Kathie….do don't do it. I don't like it…" he said with an irritating expression.
" Okay then…..sleep with Thomas." She threatened him.
" No…." He said and pushed her so that her back touched the bed. Instantly he placed his head on her soft bosoms and hugged her tight.
" These are my soft pillows from now on…." Saying he covered both of them with a quilt.
She didn't oppose him and let him sleep peacefully on her to get good sleep for the next day's motorcycle race. Slowly they both drifted to sleep cuddling each other on the bed.
....
The next morning, Adrian opened his eyes and found Katherine sleeping on his chest. He smiled and kissed her forehead. With the touch of his warm lips, she slowly opened her eyes and saw his handsome face.
" Good morning...Ad" she greeted him.
" Very good morning...buttercup. I hope your greetings will make my day very memorable" he said, tugging her strands behind her ears.
" If you think so then I wish to be with you in your arms every morning" she replied with a smile.
" Hmmm...for that I have to work hard to achieve, then only I can marry you. Then only I can treat you like my queen, " he said.
" I don't want to be your queen, I want to be your true soulmate. I want to be with you in all your good and bad times. I want to be your friend to advise you, I want to be your supporting shoulder whenever you want to cry and share your pain, I want to be your love to make you happy, I want to be your everything ...." She said looking into his eyes.
He hugged her and whispered, " You will be the only one woman after my mother in my life"
They stayed for a while and got ready for the event. Before going to the ground, Katherine kissed his cheek and said, " All the best. I am waiting for you at the finish line"
" Too much...confidence in your boyfriend," a stranger commented to her.
Katherine ignored her words and handed Adrian his helmet. He hugged her then walked away from her.
" Hi beautiful...don't you wish me?" a stranger asked her.
"My wishes will be of no use when already the winner is not you," she said with a smirk looking at the girl who commented to her earlier.
She walked towards the finish line along with Thomas and was waiting for Adrian. She had so much confidence but she was feeling nervous.
...….
As he was coming to the finish line, Katherine shouted that she would get him the winner. When he crossed the finish line, she hugged him and kissed him.
"Congratulations, Adrian, you won the race," she was cheering, "You're only the best racer!"
She was giving him a serious kiss when Kevin's motorbike suddenly came across the track.
