He gave her a once-over. With that slim frame of hers, she looked like a gust of wind could knock her over. And she was saying she could handle this.
“Let me try” Cameron replied, already sliding forward into the driver’s seat.
“Alright, Xander muttered, getting off. As he stepped aside, he pointed at the controls. “That’s the throttle. That’s the brake. Don’t mix them up”
“I know, Cameron said.
She got into position up front. Xander climbed on behind her. His hand landed lightly on her shoulder.
Cameron gave a small shrug. “Hands off.”
“If I don’t hold on to you, I’ll fall off.” Xander protested.
“You’ve got a handlebar. Use it, she shot back.
Xander huffed. “Man, you’re such a pain. You nag like a woman.”
Cameron said nothing.
Eventually, he gave up and grabbed the seat handle instead.
“Hold on tight,” she warned.
“Just don’t- Whoa!” Before he could finish, the motorcycle blasted forward.
Caught completely off guard, Xander lurched forward, his chest smacking right into Cameron’s back.
“Ow,” she groaned. “Hold on properly.”
“Please, I’m the one who got hurt,” he muttered. “You’re just too delicate.”
Still, he adjusted his posture and steadied himself.
And to his surprise, Cameron could actually ride, like, really ride.
She leaned forward, body low, cutting through the wind like she was born to do it. The engine growled under them, the speed pushing even faster than before.
Xander shouted behind her, “This is amazing.” The rush of tearing through the night at full throttle was addictive. “You stingy bastard,” he yelled, grinning like a maniac. “Logan, you cheap bastard.”
At last, a genuine smile spread across Cameron’s face.
Eventually, they brought the motorcycle to a stop by the riverside. Xander flopped onto the grass, laughing his head off. Cameron lay down quietly beside him, hands behind her head, eyes shut. d Xander.
Successfully unlocked! m. She was exhausted.
“Hey, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re r
“Don’t talk,” she murmured, still not opening he. “Come on, don’t crash on me now. Cameron, let me treat you to something fun. What do you say?” Xander asked, hyped up and eager
All he could think about was blowing some serious cash. ‘If Dad refused to donate that building, then fine. I would just max
Chapter Riding Together out the black card he gave me, he wondered
“No thanks, Cameron replied, still not bothering to open her eyes.
Xander frowned. “So are you going home or not?
“No,” she said.
“Okay, well, you can’t sleep here either. Let me take you somewhere Xander said
Where to?” Cameron asked.
“Someplace you can sleep,” he smiled.
“Alright.” She got up and followed him without question
Xander hopped on the motorcycle and took her straight to the most luxurious five-star hotel in the Viremont.
At the front desk, Xander smacked the black card down with flair. “Presidential suite. Thanks.”
The receptionist looked up. “Sit, that’ll be 30 thousand dollars a night. Are you sure?”
“Absolutely, Xander replied, casually lifting his chin.

Cameron froze, caught off guard by the steep price Sleep vanished from her eyes in an instant. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples. “Xander, maybe we should go somewhere else?”
“You think it’s too expensive?” Xander gave his chest a casual pat. “Come on, I’m loaded
Cameron said, “Let’s go.” One hand tucked in her pocket, the other holding the strap of her backpack slung over one shoulder, she turned and walked straight out of the hotel’s opulent lobby
“Hey, wait up.” Xander hurried to grab his black card and chased after her
“What’s wrong? I wasn’t expecting you to pay. This little bit of cash? It’s nothing to me “He waved the black card at her with a grin.
Cameron went quiet for a moment, then rubbed her stomach and said, “I’m kind of hungry Since you drous me around al night, I’ll treat you to some late-night food. How about that?”
Xander’s mouth twitched. “It’s three in the morning. You’re seriously in the mood for food?
Cameron nodded. “Dead serious.”
Right next to the hotel was a street lined with many restaurants. Some of them stayed open 24/7, though this late at night customers were few and far between.
The warm amber glow of street lamps cut through the darkness. Cameron and Xander stepped into one of the small eateries. They chose a window seat, watching the quiet street outside as they dug into their food.
Xander picked up the menu and looked over at Cameron. “You good with spicy food?”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah, I can handle it.”
“Then we’ll get the extra spicy fondue,” he said with a flourish. “And bring out everything else on the menu too
Cameron blinked.
“Wait, what?” The waiter looked surprised. “Sir, you mean everything on the menu?”
Xander nodded. “That’s right. Every single dish.”
Cameron shook her head and grabbed the menu out of his hand. “Don’t listen to him.” “But we can afford it,” Xander said.
“I’m the one paying tonight. I don’t have plenty of money,” Cameron replied flatly.
“You don’t have to pay. I’ll cover it,” he offered.
“Can you save some?” she snapped, clearly annoyed by how wasteful he was being.
Xander stiffened. Seeing the way Cameron frowned, he quickly toned it down. He nearly forgot that Cameron was not the type to tolerate nonsense.
Cameron circled a few dishes and passed the menu back to him. Under her watchful gaze, Xander only added a couple of his favorites. He did not dare go overboard again.
Soon, the bubbling hot fondue arrived at their table.
Xander rubbed his hands together. “I’ve never had fondue at three in the morning before.”
Cameron took a slow sip from her glass. “You had a fight with your dad, didn’t you?*
Xander froze. ‘How does she know? I never told her. Should I tell her? If I told her I fought with my dad because of her, would she be touched?’ he wondered.
Cameron shook her head and stayed silent. She did not want to get involved in Xander’s family drama. Still deep envied him.
She figured Xander must have grown up in a home full of love. Otherwise, how else could he turn out so spoiled, like tyrant?
By the time they finished eating, it was already four in the morning. The two of them headed back to the hotel. This time. they got two rooms, each with a king-sized bed.
Outside the door, Xander said, “I’ve only got an play a game or something instead?” before is fuhes Successfully unlocked! school. Maybe I should just skip sleep. Wanna
Cameron yawned. “I’m tired. You go ahead.” With that, she shut the door in his face.
Xander stood there, stunned, then muttered a curse under his breath.
