148 148 How Would You Clean Up Our Beach?

Inside Karen frowned at the stupid question but took the microphone. "Wow, this is something that is different, ummmm, I think that having more garbage cans might help?"

Each girl after that said something similar. "Miss Liliana, what do you feel might actually help?"

Yuki took the microphone. "I am still new to this but this beach is stunning but you can see that there is a lot of trash. That would not be good for the wildlife that lives in the ocean. Just adding more trash cans will not work. What could be imposed is a fine if you are caught not cleaning up after oneself as well as a mandatory clean up of the beach. Fewer people will litter and that will help but that does not help the damage that is already done. Why don't we set up a cleanup committee that is here to clean up the trash and that way everything will start to become more normal."

The announcer looked shocked at Yuki and took the microphone back. "Wow, that was completely unexpected. Liliana, I absolutely would be down to volunteer for that. If that idea gets chosen." He turned to Cedric, "Now for the guys, Who could we contact to help put these ideas in motion?" He walked down the line asking each guy. He hands the microphone to Alex.

"Well there are not a lot of people that we could contact but the first on that list would be Karen's father. I am not familiar with the other members on the board."

That was the replies from all the guys afterwards and then it can be Cedric's turn. Cedric took the microphone. "I wouldn't contact Karen's father. There is a gentleman that holds more power over the town and he and I are close friends, so I would just ask him. I am sure that things will shape up if he decides to get involved." He hands the microphone back to Yuki and smiles down at her.

~You know that is a bit of a cheap shot as you are that very person but I can understand why you do not want to say that out loud.~ Yuki looked up at Cedric and smiled back at him.

~Shhhhh, do not spread that secret around.~ He chuckles as the announcer starts getting excited.

"Well, that is a bit of a surprise. I want to thank everyone for coming and cooperating in the competition for our final competition we ask that you get into some formal wear. Something that you would wear out to a party or fancy dinner. This time we will start with the pair with the lowest score to the pair with the highest score. Numbers three, six, four, two, five, seven and one. We will be going in that order. So take your time and we will get started in a moment!" The announcer sends out the order and the couples at the bottom smile sadly.

Everyone leaves the stage and Yuki and Cedric head to her dressing room. Aislynn looks at Cedric and Yuki, "congratulations on being in first right now. I will give you a moment to chat and I will grab you both a drink." She left the room and went to grab three ice-cold water bottles.

Cedric grabs Yuki and pushes her against the wall and starts to kiss her deeply. He lifts her up and pins her against the wall. "You are a dangerous sight to all men. I never want you to wear that in front of others besides me again."

Yuki kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Do you think that I would wear this for anyone other than you? I only wore this one because I thought we would be on the boat and swimming just the two of us." She giggled at his possessiveness. "We do not have a lot of time to fool around. We only have one last part and then we can enjoy the ocean air."

Cedric growled and slid her down. "I will let you go for now but know that I will devour you later once this bullshit is over and done with." He leans over and kisses her on the lips again. "I will go and get dressed for you and guide you on to the stage when it is time. There is no way that anyone will be able to beat us."

"I look forward to seeing how you look, Dear." Yuki touched his cheek then snuck away from him. She winked at him while giggling.

Cedric cockily smiled at her. "Fine. I will see you soon." He left the room and went back to the dressing room. As he went back to his room. When he heard a female voice near his door.

"Hey, handsome. I want you to know that I will be yours after this last competition and once you are mine I will not let you go." Karen looked at Cedric with hearts in her eyes.

"I do not know what makes you think that we are going to be a couple. I have no love for someone that is stuck up and stupid. I will only ever love her. She is my world, my everything." Cedric went into the change room slamming the door in her face. Cedric picked up the phone and sent a message to the crew of the town. ~There is no one that will interfere with the beauty contest. So help me god if someone messes with that, I will end your business.~

~Whatever you say, Sir. We will make sure that no one will interfere with the competition… but why are you concerned over this?~

~I entered the competition with my fiance. I know that there are some outside influence. That may have happened in past years but this year I will not allow it to happen.~ Cedric throws his phone on the dresser and gets changed into a grey suit. The vest has a faux chain that goes to a pocket and the coat fits him perfectly. He combs his hair and goes to Yuki's dressing room to wait until she is ready.
