The Goddaughter

The Perfect Bet

BAYVIEW, EUREKA

"Breakfast is ready," William said, tapping Miller on his shoulder in an attempt to wake him up.

Miller rubbed his hands roughly on his face and went into the bathroom to washup before going into the dinning room.

"When next am I going to be tasting your home made food?" Miller lamented on seeing the delicious meal on the table.

William smiled, "That's why you've got to learn how to cook."

"No, I won't." Miller abruptly declined.

"Why?" William asked, surprised by Miller's statement.

"Because you would stop worrying about how I eat." Miller replied.

William laughed so hard that tears started to well up in his eyes. "Miller, you are so unbelievable." He lamented.

Miller shrugged, "Whatever!".

They had the rest of their meal in absolute silence. Miller quickly finished with his food and went in to bring William's luggages into the car.

"See you in two weeks time." William said, hugging Miller tight and pecking his forehead.

"Take care of yourself, Mr. Bravado." William concluded and rushed into his car before Miller could retaliate.

Miller smirked at him, "You too".

"Drive safely and let me know when you arrive." Miller said, waving at William who was already driving out of the compound.

Miller went back to his room and laid down for a second session of sleep since he didn't have anywhere to go.

The rest of the day passed by as slowly as an injured tortoise for Miller who was just taking turns sleeping and eating the food his brother made for him all through the day.

HUNTED SPRING.....................EUREKA.

Ashley drove to the clubhouse which they visited the previous day and inquired from a friend of his who works at the clubhouse about Miller and William. His friend was the one in charge of keeping record for the VIP members so it was easy for him to find out recorded informations such as contacts and Street name about about them.

Ashley decided not to call the phone number on the contact info as it might be too obvious to Miller that he was sent by Davina which was not part of his plan. He decided to visit Bayview Street where Miller lived and find a proper and indirect way to inform him about the Competition at Fair Field Street.

On getting to Bayview Street, Ashley hired some boys whom he saw hanging around the street to help him spread the news of the competition all round the street which they agreed to after been given few dollars.

Ashley went back to Rosewood very late and tired due to the stress . Approaching their apartment, he saw Davina sitting at the verenda. The sight of her long, slender legs made his mouth go as dry as a container of talcum powder.

Ashley stood still for a while admiring Davina's perfect shape and beautiful face. He has always had a fling for Davina but wasn't brave enough to ask her out. Davina was not only the best female fighter he'd encountered, she had the best looking legs he'd seen in ages. They were the kind of legs that any man would dream of having wrapped around him-

"Close your mouth boy, you might drool." Davina said, interrupting Ashley's fantasy.

"Anything eatable at home?" Ashley asked trying to divert Davina's attention thereby preventing her from guessing the reason he almost drooled.

"It depends on your response from my errand." Davina smiled, not having the slightest clue of Ashley's feelings for her.

"It went well; I mean, if he is really a car race freak, he would certainly be there." Ashley said, assuring Davina of Miller's presence.

Davina smiled."Thanks alot Ashley, I ordered something delicious for you because I know that's the first thing you would request for when you arrive."

FAIR FIELD STREET

In a huge stadium filled with over five thousand people, a middle-aged man who was the moderator of the car racing show stepped into the stage and as soon as he did, the stage became quiet in anticipation for what he had to announce.

"Welcome to this year's Car racing tournament. For a start, the new entries would be taking the first part of the tournament and only the first five participants are going to compete in the next round which would be the intermediate level. They are three different levels to this game, First is the Beginners Round, Second is the Intermediate Round while the last one is the Advanced Round." The moderator of the game explained.

"The first round consist of twenty-five players, the second round consist of fifteen players while the final round consist of five players. In the first round, only the first ten participants would be qualified to move to the next round and in the second round, only five participants would be qualified for the final level while the best three players on the final round emerge the winner and the Best player of the game becomes the Best Rider of the year." The moderator further explained.

"Are we ready?" He asked

"Yeeeeeeeessssss..............

......., A loud cheers came from the crowd and also from the few participants of the game.

The first two rounds of the game went as fast as thunderbolt making the game almost completed as the only remaining round was the advanced.

Davina has been watching Miller since the beginning of the game but he wasn't aware of this. As the final round was about to begin, Davina walked up to Miller who was dusting his car in preparation for his final round.

"Hey Bravado,I guess you are also a car race freak." Davina said, sitting on top of Miller's rented sport car.

Miller asking the obvious,"I guess you've been the topper all through the game, Beloved."

"Yes! And am still going to top the final round as usual." She exclaimed with a smile.

Miller laughed at her, "Want to make a bet?" He asked.

"That's one thing I love alot." Davina replied.

"I hope you don't try to break my head after this game as well, because I've been taught to be nicer to the fragile gender." Miller said, making possible effort to infuriate Davina.

"The loser is going to give a quick public speech about how their ego was crushed by the opposite gender." Davina said, suppressing her anger and trying to avoid Miller's annoying remarks about her.

"Woah............., am all in." Miller exclaimed in utmost excitement as if he had been anticipating this day.

Their argument was interrupted by the moderator as he announced the begining of the final round. They both walked up to the moderator and informed him about their bet. The moderator immediately agreed since the two have been the best racer through out the first two rounds. The moderator further decided to inform the crowd and other racers about the their bets so as to make the game a fair one. The game became even more fierce and fun because of the bet and it soon turned into a gender based match.
