Chapter 11 (Not edited)
Alice’s P.O.V.
I couldn’t help but let out a string of giggles. Stacy is one crazy chica. I didn’t even understand half of what she said.
“What’s so funny, sweetheart?” Chase asks.
“That just made my day,” I let out, still laughing. “And don’t call me sweetheart!”
Chase smirks, probably thinking of other annoying pet names.
Damon glances around. “Literally. What the f—,” he says, but quickly says fudge when an old woman walks by, glaring at Damon. I stifle another string of laughs. “What the fudge did she just say? I mean, can anyone tell me?”
“Something about spending her life with you and Chase and having babies together. Oh, and something about you both spending the rest of your lives with her, growing old and hairy,” I reply.
Chase turns to look at Damon, sizes him up, and concludes, “You are my best mate, but man, I cannot live with you for my entire life.”
Damon looks at him, incredulous. “I can say the same for you… You aren’t my type.”
“Yeah, silicone is his type,” I snicker. I am too funny. I get a discreet high give from Damon while Chase glares at me. I stick my tongue out at him. Lexi and Damon kissed! And she pulled him down! I need to talk to that girl! She obviously didn't kiss him just to prove a point to Stacy. I didn't think now was the time to bring it up, even though it happened minutes ago. I gave Lexi a pointed stare, and she looked away, before telling the world what she thought of Stacy.
“She is one crazy slut and—“Lexi begins, but precipitously stops. A kitten strolls by, coming up to her and rubbing against her left leg. Lexi immediately squeals, bending down to pet the cute little creature. “Awwh, you’re so cute! Yes you are! You’re so soft and cuddly!”
Lexi picks up the brown fur ball and cuddles it to her chest, stroking his face.
“He must be a stray cat,” Chase comments.
“Yeah, but you’re so cute! I think I’ll keep you! You must be hungry and cold! Do you have a collar?” She checks, failing to find one. “This means you have a new home baby! And what should I name you?”
“You should name him Haz! Or maybe Meepers! Oh, I like the name Xibbles!” I exclaim, rubbing his chin. He leans his head into my hand.
“You should name him Cybertron,” Chase inputs.
I give him a ‘you’re stupid’ look.
“He’s not even that cute,” Damon mutters.
“Yes he is!” Lexi snaps, raining kisses all over the little kitty. “I think I’ll name him Meepers!” She beams at me.
“Yes!” I exclaim, shooting Chase a triumphant look.
Damon dramatically sighs. “Can we get to laser tag now?” Wow, someone’s in a foul mood.
We walk into the laser tag place. I walk up to the cashier.
“Hi! I’d like four tickets for one game of laser tag,” I say, smiling at the cashier. Wow! He’s cute! His nametag says Cam. He smiles at me, his blue eyes crinkling.
“Sure, that’d be no problem.” He presses some buttons and rips off four tickets. “Here you go. The total is $48.00. We’re having a special today. If you give me your number, you get a discount,” Cam winks at me, leaning forwards.
I feel my face heat up. He is really cute… maybe I should. It wouldn’t hurt, would it?
‘Not as cute as Chase though,’ my mind says. Where did that come from! Chase is not cute! At all!... Okay, that was a lie. I push thoughts of Chase from my mind.
I smile hesitantly and open my mouth to speak, but before I could, I felt an arm wrap around my waist. Chase pulls me into his body, keeping a firm grip on my waist. “Are you almost done yet, kitten?”
I glare at him, trying to not think about his strong grip on my waist. I couldn’t help but notice how my side molded against his perfectly.
“Go away,” I say, trying and failing to pull away. I look apologetically at Cam.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had a boyfriend,” Cam says, looking uncomfortable.
“He’s not my boyfriend,” I reply, still glaring at Chase.
Chase gives Cam a quick, but mean glare before he turns to me, pulling me impossibly closer. “I love it when you joke around. You’re adorable,” he says, cupping my cheek before handing Cam a fifty dollar bill. “Keep the change,” he says, before grabbing the tickets and pulling me away.
I glance behind to mouth ‘I’m sorry’ to Cam, which gives me an understanding smile and waves goodbye. Wow, he’s so sweet.
I then realize that Chase has still glued himself to me, keeping a firm hand around my waist.
“What was that about?!” I ask, glaring at him.
“You don’t know him. He could be a rapist for all you know,” Chase answers, looking down at me.
I try not to look so small, but it didn’t help that I had to crane my head to look up at him.
“I hardly know you! You could be a rapist for all I know!”
He shakes his head, smirking. “Now that’s where you’re wrong. I’m too hot. Girls fall at my feet wherever I go.”
I bit back a retort, knowing he was telling the truth. All the girls did fall at his feet. My school is a prime example.
Deciding to ignore him, unsuccessfully, I might add, I turn to Lexi and Damon, slightly shaking my head at the sight. Lexi held Meepers up to Damon’s face as Meepers continuously licked Damon’s face.
“Awwwh, is the witty Damon not liking Meepers? Meepers likes you, don’t you baby?” Lexi giggles out, before pulling Meepers to her chest, giving him a tight squeeze.
“Dumb, rotten cat. Stupid, not good of a…” Damon mutters, but stops as he blatantly stares at Lexi’s chest. I silently sigh. Boys.
“What are you staring at?” Lexi snaps.
“Your boobs,” Damon blurts out. Lexi gasps in horror and Chase lets out a laugh. He still hasn’t released his hold on me, and I find myself not minding.
Lexi places Meepers down on the bench before slapping Damon on the head, making him yell, “Ouch! Hey, what was that for?”
“For staring at my boobs, you jerk!”
Damon smirks, before saying, stupidly, I might add, “I don’t see why you’re getting your panties in a twist. They aren’t even that big.”
I swear I could see steam coming from Lexi’s ears. She begins to shout obscenities, and I sigh. This could go on all day. I guess Chase was getting annoyed, as he said, “Would Brad and Angelina like to kiss and have sex so we can get on laser tag?”
“Brad and Angelina?” I ask him.
He gives me a shrug. “I don’t know. Are they old and married?”
“Well, married, but not that old.”
“You get my point.”
“That was a bad analogy.”
“Oh, kitten’s bringing out the claws?”
I clench my hands and finally push him away. “Don’t call me kitten!”
Before he could respond, Lexi shouted, “Ew! I would never have sex with him! That’s probably like having sex with a slug.”
I gave her a ‘WTF’ look. Damon just looked downright insulted.
“We’ll see about that, babe,” he says, winking.
“Let’s go guys,” I say, herding them to the laser tag, grabbing Meepers with me.
“Are cats even allowed in here?” Chase questions.
“I’m not sure…” I hedge. Luckily, the attendant standing next to the entrance to the laser tag arena was able to look after Meepers during our game.
After we suited up and grabbed our guns, Lexi and I stood on one side while Chase and Damon stood on the other.
Lexi grinned. “Get ready to lose. I bet you can’t even shoot me once.”
“I know I can shoot you, but not just with the gun,” he says, winking.
I frown at his innuendo. What an idiot. Before Lexi could go on another rampage, I push her to where we load our guns.
“So, first team to get shot a total of 5 times loses. No cheating, nothing out of the ordinary,” I say, turning to the boys, who were by their gun loading station.
“I’m anything but the ordinary,” Chase winks, giving me a stunning smile. I’m momentarily dazed. He looks so handsome with that smile, and not to mention how sexy he—Stop! I discreetly wipe my chin to see if any drool formed.
I turn Lexi to face me. “Okay Lex. Let’s do this. If we lose, we’re probably going to that party in nothing. If worse comes to worse…” I start my pep talk, but she quickly talks over me.
“I’ll show him my boobs.”
“… Okay. Sure. Sacrifice for the team?”
She’s already turned away, loading her gun. She slithers by, gun posed to shoot. “I’ll show him my freaking C boobs. Tiny my ass,” she mutters, before slipping away.
They are perfect for each other. I mentally give myself a pep talk, imagining Chase in a skimpy bikini. I let out a few laughs, but quickly cover my mouth, hoping I didn’t give my hiding spot away.
I hear a rustle to my right, and I immediately run to my left, smashing into a hard box. Before I could maneuver my way around it, I felt a gun pointing to my back. Slowly looking up, I see Chase and his big grin. Uh oh.
I try to move my gun to shoot him, but his encirclement around me traps both my arms.
“Well well well, what do we have here? A lost kitten?”
“Let me go!” I try to wiggle my way out, but it’s a failed attempt.
“Now, kitten, when a predator finds his prey, he never lets go,” Chase murmurs. I hold back a shiver. His deep voice is just so sexy. I find myself leaning towards him, forgetting about the game.
Before we could say anything, I hear a scream and an alarm going off on my side. Definitely Lexi. Dang. That must mean she got shot.
“I think Damon just hunted down your friend. Can’t let him show me up,” Chase says, before I hear another alarm. Chase, quick as a cheetah, slips away.
Shoot! I run to the box, an actual box this time, and hide behind, peeking out the corner. When I see that the coast is clear, I stealthily shuffle diagonally, bringing me quite close to the boy’s base. I see Chase loading his gun and I smile. Time for some revenge. I try to angle my gun to shoot him, but the box wasn’t parallel to Chase. I silently curse. What am I going to do now?! Before I could contemplate, I hear another alarm go off on my side. Lexi got shot again! Time to step it up!
Praying my last minute plan would work, I tip toe away from the box, only to have Chase finish loading his gun, spin around, and look me dead in the eye. Shoot!
I raise my gun and shoot at him, as he does the same. I manage to nail him and evade his shots, running off. Hearing him curse, I grin, heading back to base. Right as I’m about to go around a box I was hiding behind, I see Damon run off to the right, heading in the direction opposite of me. I raise my gun to shoot, but my gun turns out to be empty. Man! This isn’t going too well.
I run off to my gun loader, and load up. Lexi was nowhere to be found. Just as I finish, I hear an alarm go off on the boy’s side, and I mentally give Lexi a high five, before hearing an alarm on my side. Dang it! Lexi must have…
I whip around when I hear a chuckle. Chase was standing there, giving me his signature smirk. How did he get there?! Without me knowing?! That means Lexi and I only have one more life left.
“How’d you get there?” I demand, raising my gun slowly behind me.
“I walked here,” he states the obvious.
I whip out my gun and shoot out as many laser bullets as I could, but he, quick as a bat, runs away. How does he do that?! I run off after him, trying to catch up. Quickly getting lost in the maze, I slow down to a walk, before halting when I see Damon has Lexi cornered.
“If you want to live, show me your boobs,” he says. What a pervert.
“In your dreams, buttwad. The closest you probably get to real boobs is silicone pads that belong to Stacy,” Lexi snaps.
“I’ve seen those. And they are a bit perkier than normal. Big, though,” Damon comments. Ew. Gross. I can’t help but think if Chase has seen her boobs. Probably, being the man whore he is. I don’t like the feeling of anger I feel what I think about Chase with Stacy.
Focusing on the game, I raise my gun to Damon’s back and click, but nothing comes out. Out of laser ammo! Again! No! Thinking about the horrible outfits we would probably wear if they won, I get ready to tackle Damon and hope we can both manage to avoid him. Taking in a deep breath, I launch myself at him, effectively knocking him down. I yell at Lexi, “Run! And get ammo!” She bolts away, and I try to scramble up and follow, but Damon rapidly flips me over.
He looks angry. “I was about to see her boobs!” he growls.
“She wouldn’t have shown them to you! And besides, her boobs belong to James now, don’t they? They did make out,” I taunt, trying to distract Damon from shooting me. I give myself a slap for objectifying Lexi’s boobs. They wouldn’t appreciate me doing this.
Just as I expected, I see Damon release another growl, before letting out, “I’m going to kill that motherfu****. Laying his hands on my woman. She’s mine!”
My eyes widen on their own accord. Damon has it bad for Lexi! Eeepers! …. Haha. That rhymes with Meepers. I’m too funny. Hahahaha.
I open my mouth to respond, but in the corner of my eye, I see Chase appearing from the boy’s side. He takes a look at our positions, and his eyes go blank, his mouth becoming a grim line.
I fight the urge to explain. I didn’t have any obligation to explain myself to him! Damon also notices Chase and quickly scrambles off me. Having his back turned to me, Damon apparently does some communicating with Chase through eye contact or telepathy, or something, because he retreats to the girl’s side, probably after Lexi.
Chase walks up to me and looks down, smirking. I think I still see a hint of sharpness in the corner of his eyes. I sit up and slowly stand up.
I pray he’s not thinking about shooting me.
“Looks like we’re about to win,” he gloats. Dang.
“Not necessarily. I could definitely outrun you if I wanted to,” I say, trying to put up a brace front.
He gives me an incredulous look. “Really, kitten? You shouldn’t lie to yourself,” he tsks. “You’re not getting out of this. Get ready to be my slave,” he says, before raising his gun. I make one last final attempt to run, but the alarm goes off, and my doom is sealed. I cursed and glared at Chase. It irked me that he and Damon won without cheating. He grins at me, before saying, “Don’t run, kitten. I love a good chase.”
