A RACE TO MY HEART (FAN FICTION) (CHAPTER 11)


Trust - Keyshia Cole

CHAPTER 11  
              
Max and the other DBSK members arrived at the hotel where the party was being held wearing black and white suits.              

Max, in particular was wearing a black suit that somehow made him look more handsome and dashing than usual.              

As soon as the DBSK boys arrived, a lot of screams were heard from the hundreds of fans already waiting outside the hotel.              

The DBSK boys tried to act normal even though they were totally taken by surprise by the huge number of people already waiting for the guests of the party.              

But what made them more surprised was the total preparation for the event. There was a tight security before and after entering the hotel.              

And after they entered the place, their mouths totally dropped with shock after seeing the grand set-up of the party. They could easily tell that no amount was spared in preparing for the party.              

The DBSK members suddenly felt awkward in entering the venue. All the other guests were prominent figures in the business, sports and entertainment world.              
Somehow they all felt that they were the least important people in the room.              
"Wow . . . Look at the guests. Is this really just a party or is it a convention for all the rich and famous people in Japan?" Xiah couldn't stop himself from voicing out.                        

U-Know nodded in agreement. Everyone in the party were all celebrities as well.              

"Try to act normal boys . . . But remember to be courteous and extra accommodating at all times. We certainly don't want to offend anyone here. As you can see, all the people invited here are very famous themselves. Ahh . . . I think I forget to tell you that the sponsors of the race have already sent word to me that all of us can stay here in this hotel tonight. They say that one of the sponsors of the race owns this hotel. So he offered the services of the hotel to all the guests in the party tonight. If you want I can book us a room already," the DBSK boys' manager said.              

Max stared at their manager for a few minutes before finally speaking.               "Hyung, you mean all the drivers in the race will be staying in this hotel as well?" he asked curiously.              

The old man smiled. "Yes, Fate will be staying here tonight. Someone told me that all the guests here will each be given a room. So you guys need to decide if you want to stay in a single room or you want to have your own rooms."              

U-Know looked at the other DBSK members. "Hyung, is there a room where all of us can stay?" he then asked their manager.              

"I'll try to book you guys in a room where all of you can stay. Just wait here," the old man said before leaving.              

As soon as their manager left . . . .              

"Hyung, by any chance, have you seen Fate?" Max asked Jaejoong, as he continued to look around.              

"No, I haven't seen her. And I haven't seen Michael either. Maybe they are still in the fan meeting," Jaejoong replied.              

"Oh . . ." Max uttered with disappointment.              

Micky couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "Don't worry. I know she will be here in a little while. The party is about to start. Just try to be more patient and you'll be able to see her soon enough."              

"Hmmm . . . I wonder where she could be right now. I do hope that she already left the fan meeting," Max said with worry.              

U-Know lightly laughed. "Are you really Max? How come you've suddenly turned into such a different person? It's like you're not the Max we all know."              

Micky laughed as well. "That's the power of love," he teased.              

"Hyung, stop with the teasing. I'm nervous already," Max uttered.               "Speaking of love . . . the love of your life just walked in," Xiah said to Max as he signaled him to look at a group of people that just arrived.              

Max quickly looked at the direction where Xiah was looking. His heart almost stopped beating after seeing Fate.              

Fate was wearing a stunning black evening dress that showed her sexy figure. Her long black hair was tied up in a very sophisticated way. Her total appearance was totally captivating.              

Max tried to control himself. Somehow he wanted to quickly ran to her side and be with her again.              

Fate looked so elegant and beautiful. Somehow she instantly gained all the people's attention as soon as she appeared.               Different thoughts were racing into his head. He still couldn't believe that the beautiful woman he was looking at belonged to him.              

"Hey . . . Max . . . wake up. . . Stop drooling," Micky teased.              

Max quickly looked at Micky, then he tried to smile.              

"Would it be all right if I go to her now?" Max asked Jaejoong curiously.                        
"No, Max. Just leave her alone for now. She still needs to do some things for the race. The two of you can have your own private time after she has socialized with the other guests," Jaejoong tried to Max realize his point.              
"Oh. . . Then I need to wait . . . until she comes to me personally?" Max asked curiously again.              

"Yes," U-Know replied instantly.              

"Just be patient, Max. This is a party for the race. If you tag along with her, she won't be able to do what she needs to do. So just wait," Jaejoong said again.              

Max nodded his head. There was nothing he could do but agree with his friends.              

More than half an hour passed . . . .              

Max felt like his heart was slowly being ripped from his body as he silently watched as Fate talked and laughed with different men. But what totally made him lose his control was seeing Fate with Norman. He was talking and chatting with her along with other guests.              

"How come he's allowed to be near her . . . and I'm not?" he muttered to himself. He was very jealous. So jealous that he was already losing his sanity.              
Time passed by . . .              

Max had already drank more than 3 glasses of wine. Fate was still socializing with some female guests of the party. Max just stared at her. He was hoping that she would glance his way.              

"Hey, slow down. That's your third glass already," Micky tried to caution Max about drinking.              

"I know. Don't worry. I'm not drunk yet," Max said with a light laugh.              

"Uh-oh . . . He's already drunk. Better try to sober him up," Jaejoong said seriously. "Our manager might notice him. He would surely get into trouble."              
"I'm not drunk, hyung," Max repeated.              

The other DBSK boys were already trying to stop Max from getting another glass of wine.              

Fate who was already very anxious to get away from Norman and the other guests glanced at Max's direction. She was suddenly alarmed after seeing the way that Max was behaving. She quickly excused herself from the people she was talking to and was about to go to Max when . . .              

"Fate, where are you going?" Norman asked as he grabbed her hand.              

"I . . . " Fate wanted to say something. She then looked at Max's direction again.              

Norman quickly looked at Max as well. Somehow he understood the concern in Fate's eyes. "Very well. Take care of him first."              

Fate quickly went to Max's side.              

"Max, what's wrong?" she asked with concern.              

Max looked at Fate and smiled. "Oh . . . nothing's wrong. I just drank a little," he said as he tried to stand up.              

Fate quickly helped Max. His body was somehow already shaking. "You're drunk already?" she asked with a sigh.                        

"I'm not," Max said again.              

"Come on . . . I need to sober you up before the other guests notices you," Fate said with concern.              

"Why are you embarrassed with me?" Max asked as if hurt.              

"Max, it's not like that," Fate said. She could easily see the pain in his eyes. Somehow she wanted to take it all away. "What's wrong with you?" she asked again.              

"He's jealous with that Norman guy," Micky answered.              

"What? Norman? He's just a friend Max . . ." she quickly uttered.              

"Friend? Yeah . . . a friend," Max uttered as he sighed heavily.              

Fate stared at Max. "What can I do to erase your doubts? Do I need to prove myself to you?" she asked seriously.              

Max quickly looked at Fate. He could easily tell that Fate was irritated with him. Somehow his drunkenness suddenly went away. "I . . . I am sorry. Please don't be mad," he said with a low voice.             

Fate looked at the other DBSK members and then at Max.              

"Please don't be like that. Norman already knows that I am involved with you. And he's already accepted it. So there's nothing you should be worried or jealous about," she tried to explain.              

"Oh . . . I am really sorry," Max uttered again.              

Fate couldn't help but smile. Max was so cute with the way he was acting. He was like a small child in a man's body. He was totally charming in whatever action he made.              

She suddenly sighed. "God, you should be thankful that you're so cute. Somehow just looking at you makes me forget that I should be mad with you," she then uttered with a smile.              

Max quickly stared back at Fate "So you're not mad with me?"             

Fate shook her head. "No."              

Suddenly while they were talking a sweet music echoed throughout the entire place. Several couples were already dancing on the dance floor.              

Max looked at Fate. "Would you like to dance with me?" he asked sweetly.              
Fate lightly laughed. "Do you think you can handle yourself? You were drunk just a few minutes ago," she said with a smile.              

Max smiled as well. "Yes, I can do anything as long as you are here."               Fate smiled and nodded her head. Max then slowly took her hand and led her onto the dance floor.              

As soon as Max and Fate were on the dance floor, all eyes were immediately set on them. They were the perfect couple. . . Max was so handsome and Fate was so captivating. Some of the other guests sighed. They really liked watching Fate and Max dance with each other. Even the TV crew members that were busy interviewing a guest suddenly stopped and focused on the dance floor.              
"I'm sorry for being so childish . . . and for being jealous of Norman," Max said.              
Fate lightly laughed. "It's okay, Max. At least now . . . I know that you really care about me."              

Max suddenly stopped dancing. "I care about you Fate," he said seriously.              
"Max . . ." she uttered as she looked deep into his eyes.              

"Fate . . ."     
        
"I love you Max . . ." she uttered with sincerity in her eyes. This was the first time that she was saying those words to a man. Somehow her entire soul was in heaven. She was finally saying those three wonderful words to the very first man that she had learned to love.              

Max felt like his heart was dancing with joy. "I love you too Fate . . ." he uttered.              
Somehow they suddenly forgot where they were and that there were people watching them.              

Within seconds . . . Max carefully kissed Fate with such tenderness and sweetness that made most of the female guests gasped with total envy, while Fate returned Max's kiss with such a passion that just melted Michael and Norman's hearts.              

Within minutes . . . Fate and Max had finally announced to the world that they were really in love . . .
