As the upcoming Grand Festival drew closer, the pair were almost inseparable. Word of the relationship got out; it was barely a week after a number of the tabloids published an apology to the couple for falsely claiming that they were in a relationship that they were at it again with the relationship rumors. Only this time they were "confirmed," as the tabloids would say. May and Drew didn't let their relationship get in their way of their goal. They knew that it was very possible that they could end up facing each other in the finals, but they agreed to give it their all and support one another no matter what the outcome was. Day after day, going from town to town, May and Drew grew stronger together.

Elsewhere, Solidad was having her own problems. It seemed like not matter where she went, Harley was not far behind. She swore she could literally feel him breathing down her neck, but he's not there when she turns around. He's usually hidden in the shadows somewhere nearby. He has approached her a number of times and has made countless failed attempts to get her to forgive him.

"Come on Sol, I said I was sorry! I learned my lesson, please…" Harley pleads with Solidad for what seemed like the 50th time.

Solidad tried her best to ignore him and continued walking. But then she felt herself being tugged backwards. She felt her back hit his chest. He brings his arms around her front and holds her in a tight embrace.

"Solidad, please. Don't do this. Don't do this to us." Harley begged, placing a kiss on Solidad's head. But that only made her angrier. She wiggled herself out of his grip and turned around to face him.

"I'm not doing anything. You brought this upon yourself! You did the unforgivable! And to a dear friend of mine!" Solidad said angrily

"Come on Sol, I'm sorry for what I did. Please forgive me, I lov-" Harley said before getting cut off by Solidad

"No! You don't love me and you don't deserve to be forgiven. Now leave me alone!" Solidad said before turning and walking away.

Harley just stood there and watched Solidad vanish. She was glad he didn't follow because she wasn't sure how much more of him she could take. It's gotten more and more painful for her to look at him. She was so angry about what he did but deep inside, she still loved him. She wanted to forgive him, but still can't bring herself to… she never felt so torn in her life.

Late one night….

Drew and May were basking in the afterglow of a "certain activity" and are currently cuddling under their warm cover. Both were just enjoying the fact that the other was right next to them.

"Hey Drew?" May asked being the first to break the silence

"hm?"

"Do you think I'll ever get over what Harley did to me?" She asked calmly

"May, what he did to you was unforgivable. You have a right to be mad at him. But it's up to you whether you want to forgive him or not." Drew replied

"What if I have to face him at the Grande Festival? What if I freeze up?" She asked worryingly

"Don't worry so much May. If you have to face Harley at the festival then you'll just have to do what you always do to him…beat him!" Drew said chuckling

"You think I can do that?" May asked

"Yes I do, you've already gotten so much stronger lately, and you're growing stronger every day." Drew said

"aww, thanks Drew." May said bringing her head closer to him

"Of course, you have to thank yours truly here, for your improvements." Drew said giving his hair his signature flick

"Hey! But it's true, you have helped me a lot." May said

"By the way, I think you should know that Solidad knows about what happened." Drew felt May tense up as soon as he made that statement

"What? How?"

"Don't worry, she figured it out herself during the last contest we went to." Drew said and he felt May relax in his arms

"You know Harley and Solidad have feelings for each other right?" Drew said after a moment of silence

"What? Really?" May said surprised by the revelation

"Yeah I've noticed recently the way they look at each other. You know, the way secret lovers do. They steal glances, act like they're not together, but when they see each other, they have this small smile on their face and sparkle in their eyes." Drew said

"So I'm taking it that Solidad was pretty torn when she figured it out, what Harley did to you. I've never seen her so hurt before." Drew explained

"Really? So what do you think is going to happen between them?" May asked

"I really don't know. Solidad doesn't seem like the type to forgive Harley so easily, so she'll probably make him work for her trust again. And knowing Harley, he probably would work for it for her. So this may be a good thing that she found out." Drew said

"I didn't really want Solidad to get drag into this as well…" May said

"Don't worry about it. She had the right to know what Harley is capable of. She's also the only one who can tame him because he cares about her too." Drew said

"You sure she's going to be ok?" May asked

"Yeah I'm sure. Solidad is a strong women, she can take care of herself."

"I need to get stronger too." May suddenly said

Drew looks down at May, "You'll get there. You're getting stronger every day." He kisses her temple, then pulls her up and starts kissing her cheek and then moves down to her neck.

Things started to get heated as he rolls over and on top of her, keeping his body close to hers as he continued to flutter her with kisses. He slowly starts to move down her body but felt her tug his hair when he got to her navel.

"Drew! We just…did that…we…need to…get up early…tomorrow…." May tried to say in between her gasps and moans before she completely lost control. "Oh!"

Drew just ignored her and continued on. But then out of nowhere he placed his hands on her waist and started tickling her.

"Ahh Drew! Stop! HAHAHA….it tickles!" May said in a fit of laughter. Drew leaned in and blew a raspberry on her belly before crawling up next to her and scooping her into his chest. With her back to his chest, he waited until she caught her breath before asking her if she was ok.

"Yeah, I think I'll be fine." She said before shifting her body slightly. The movement was small, be it was enough for Drew to realize how wet he had just made her again. "That must be uncomfortable." He thought before a smirk appeared on his face.

"May wasn't really thinking much about it but out of nowhere, she felt a hand move down in between her legs. She turned her head and saw the infamous smirk. She knew something was coming (maybe her).

"Drew? What are you-" she started to ask before being cut off

"Let me finish what I started..." He whispered in her ear, sending chills down her spine….

And that's all for now. Sorry, I decided to cut this short before it becomes too long of a chapter. Also, warning that there's probably going to be some smut at the beginning of the next chapter.

Ok, I don't really have much to say about this chapter so I guess I'll see you next time!
