In spite of massive crowd hooting and howling the blasting DJ music followed all the way making it more enjoyable.

‘You are cheering for the wrong car Tesoro’ Nicolas said and I turned to him.

‘Nah, the red one is definitely going to win’ I said in his ear and he shook his head.

‘Blue is winner, wanna bet on it’ Nicolas said in my ear.

‘What will I get if I win’ I asked.

‘Everything you want other than leaving me but what if I win?’ he asked.

I think for a moment, this is not a good idea before saying

‘Let’s don’t lay bet’.

 Nicolas chuckled and in within few minutes, all five cars were just inches away from finish line and in blink of second red one crossed the line first.

‘Yehhh, woohooo’ I screamed throwing my arms in air with my everything as the red one won and then looked at Nicolas who smirked at me.

“I told you Red one will win, see, now I won’ I said to him once we were out from there.

‘So I won the bet, now you will give me what I want’ I asked cheerfully and Nicolas smirked.

‘Remember, you didn’t laid the bet Tesoro’

I stopped on my track suddenly and think for a moment.

‘You tricked me’ I said in surprise and his evil smirk widened.

‘I already knew red one will win, the man driving the car was Ken, and he never lost a race instead of once with Michael’.

‘Aggh, Dammit, you purposely said that blue one was going to win, that’s wrong’ I cussed in annoyance but whom I am talking, there’s no way I am going to win against the gambler who own his own casinos and rule over whole Italy.

‘You played me well Mister Nicolas Davis’ I said from a frown crossing my arms and passed him to left but he pulled me back grabbing me from my waist and turning me around fly me in air. Once my feet touched the floor he kissed my forehead.

‘Tell me what you want?'

‘It’s not same; I wanted to win against you.’ I said making a pout.

‘You had won against me a long ago Elena’ he said looking deep in my eyes.

The rest of the night went in fun, Nicolas took me to the big rooms where games were, I played tennis with him and he played skillfully against me winning all three rounds making me looking like a pumpkin so before we left out he lose one round purposely so that I could win. Once we were out of the court he took me to gaming room where I played tenpin bowling and trust me I sucked in that. Every time the damn ball won’t hit more the two or three bowling pin.

‘Let’s try different one Tesoro; there are many other games’.

‘No, no, no' I said shaking my head in annoyance.

'I am not going to leave till these all ten bowling pin fall, look how these were looking at me. Like challenging and laughing at me’ I muttered without thinking what’s in my head making him chuckle.

‘Sometimes you are funny baby’. Nicolas said and I glared at him and again roll the ball and just like others it only hit two bowling pin.

‘Oh come on you stupid ball, can’t you hit them just for once’ I cried in frustration stamping my feet on ground and then looked at Nicolas.

Nicolas came to my side and picking the ball from different lane gave it to me, he position me to roll the ball and giving a swing to my hand tell me to roll it and finally it hit all the ten balls and I jumped and hugged him tightly.

‘Why didn’t you do that before?’

‘Because I like to see you frustrated but I forget you are damn stubborn and will spend whole night rolling these balls until you hit all of them’ he said making me laugh and after that took me to virtual gaming room.

And I am good at video games than in others, I got habit of playing video games because I thought it distracts my mind from unwanted thoughts before I started painting and drawing.

In LA, Jack, Daniel and I, whenever got chance, we all three used to play together and spend our whole day on couches instead of going out hanging with Bella and Julie, but I never played one using headset.

I screamed, shout and yelled running for my life, cursing all the while whatever was coming in my mouth killing my enemies and Nicolas was laughing loudly at me.

'I am going to buy this thing and watch you playing like this at home' he managed to say from his laughter.

It's my first time I watch him this normal, laughing so heartedly and carefree and even it felt good I wanted him to stop because he was laughing at me. 

'Stop laughing Nic and by the way I won in it' I said pointing my finger at him.

'You should've watched yourself Tesoro; I would've shown you if I made a video of you. You were acting all crazy screaming and cursing like a mad woman' he said and laughed again so I punched his shoulder to stop him.

'Its not funny' I frowned buring my face in the crook of his neck.

'Ya' he said but kept laughing.

'Then stop laughing at me' I shouted, he opened his mouth but closed it there with a smile on his face.

Once we were out of the gaming zone he took me to bar section and we sat on counter as he asked me to choose whatever I want to drink.

'What I want to try?' I repeated after him looking at the different drinks.

'Gin' Nicolas suggested.

'No' 

'Jello shots' he recommended.

'No, I already tried them last time'.

'Then Tequila'.

'Nope' I shrugged. 'Something new'

 'Huuuu' I murmured looking at the different line of drinks

.'Ya, that one' I said pointing towards the shots which were flaming.

'Flaming Dr. Pepper'

'Yup, but what type of funny name is this' I chuckled.

Nicolas ordered the drink and the man placed the whole tray in front of us.

Nicolas took one of them, blows out the flame and gulped the whole in one go.

'Does it burn?' I asked knitting my brows curiously.

'Try yourself' he said looking at me expectantly and taking other for himself handed one to me.
