Hey guys, I'm just going to warn you that some of these stories might be short but I couldn't resist writing them. Enjoy! Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxox.
*Ben's POV*
I'll get you back; I thought to myself as I watched Mal rolling around on the floor laughing.
"Mal it's not funny" I said as I climbed out of the pool, fully clothed.
"It is" she shrieked as she tried to contend with her laughing.
"You shouldn't be so gullible" she said as she sat up and held her ribs.
"My ribs are aching!" she cried as she threw her head back.
"Mal you shouted out to me like you were drowning!" I stated as I walked up to her.
"Yes" she said nodding her head as she started to slowly help herself up off the floor.
"I decided to prank you; like you did to me not so long ago" she stated as her laughing started to ease.
"Yes well that was funny" I snapped as I placed both hands on my hips.
"I fail to see how putting flour in my hairdryer was funny Benjamin" she snapped back.
"Well you obviously missed the point" I dismissed as I watched as she stopped laughing and started to scowl at me instead.
"Like you are now?" she teased.
"Hmph" I puffed as I crossed my arms across my chest. Me and Mal had been in a relationship for just over a year now; I loved her dearly but at times she annoyed the living daylights out of me. However as I looked into her beautiful little face I knew that I wouldn't be mad at her for very long - we never were when we pranked each other. And boy Mal didn't half give as good as she got.
"Let me guess it's a good thing that you love me?" she teased as she tilted her head to the side.
"Yes" I agreed.
"I'll make it up to you" she flirted and before I could say or do anything she quickly stepped closer to me and pulled the collar of my blazer to her. She looked at me for a couple of seconds before she smirked and then pressed her lips against mine. I automatically moved my lips against hers and as I went to move my arms around her waist she pulled away and stopped me. I opened my mouth to say something but she quickly winked at me and shoved me backwards.
"MAL!" I shouted as my arms swung around in the air and then Mal disappeared as I fell back into the freezing cold water. I quickly resurfaced and I started to grimace at her.
"Yes my lovely?" She teased as she resisted the urge to laugh again.
"You need to be careful" I warned her as I started to wade me way back towards her through the water.
"Why?" she asked as she pulled one brow up.
"You will start a prank war and I will win" I stated as I stood in front of her.
"Really?" she asked incredulously.
"Benjamin I think you underestimate me" she laughed.
"You want to declare a prank war be my guest" she stated smugly.
"But I will win" she added as her smug grin got bigger.
"You on" I stated and an idea came to me; fingers crossed she would fall for it.
"Shake on it?" I asked innocently. I watched as Mal went to shake my hand for a couple of seconds and then she faltered and pulled her hand quickly away from me.
"Do you think I just came off the Isle yesterday?" she stated as she stepped away from the edge of the pool.
"What?" I asked still trying to play innocent.
"I grab your hand you pull me in; I'm not that stupid Ben" she stated as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"Nearly got you" I stated.
"Nearly" she agreed.
"Anyway I'm going to get ready for dinner" she stated as she turned to leave.
"Ok" I said as I started to climb out of the pool for the second time.
"Love you" she called back.
"Love you too you little minx!" I called after her. Even I couldn't resist laughing as I heard her giggle as she left the pool room. After she had left another thought entered my mind; two can play at that game Mal; and it's only just getting started!
All the way through getting ready I thought about how I was going to get Mal back and then it hit me - hot sauce. Last time Mal came over for dinner with my parents we had spicy chicken burgers and she didn't like that much spice on her food. Funnily enough that is what we were having this evening; I know that I was being evil but if she wanted a prank war she was going to get one. So I left my room to go and see her so I could escort her down to dinner; when I knocked on the doorway I noticed that she was lying on her stomach on her bed.
"Yeah" she answered as she continued to draw on one of her many drawing pads that was littered around her room.
"Ready for dinner?" I asked sincerely. I watched as she slowly looked up and then turned her head. I watched as her eyes narrowed slightly at the tone I had just used but I decided to not acknowledge it too much.
"What?" I asked as she slowly climbed off the bed and looked me up and down.
"Nothing" She said politely. I knew that I was confusing her and part of me loved it. I loved the fact that I could maybe get one over on her.
"Coming my love?" I said as I offered her my arm. I could tell by her face that she thought something was up; if only she knew!
"Yeah" she answered as she took my arm and she let me lead her from the room; still unbeknownst to her that she was about to get pranked.
"So how was everyone's day?" my mother asked after we had all sat down at the dining table.
"Pleasant; a lot of laughs eh Ben?" Mal teased.
"Whatever" I stated sarcastically.
"What's happened now?" my father asked.
"Mal decided to prank me by making me believe that she was drowning in the pool; when I got in there she pushed me in" I said sourly.
"I see" my father stated as he tried not to laugh.
"Well I would say that's not very nice Mal however I'm guessing you needed to get him back?" my father said to Mal.
"Yes Adam" Mal confirmed.
"Ok" he replied.
"Fair game" he laughed.
"Father!" I snapped.
"What?" he asked.
"You are meant to side with me" I stated bluntly.
"I suppose so" he agreed.
"Hmph!" I puffed.
"Ben I think you are taking this prank a little too seriously" Mal said as she rolled her eyes at me.
"Maybe" I sighed.
"However" my mother started.
"Yes Mother?" I prompted.
"Your father is right you two are always trying to get each other back; it's either all lovely dovey or pranking each other" my mother noted.
"Something wrong with that?" Mal asked as she pulled one brow up in confusion.
"No" I said as I took her right hand in mine.
"No there's not" I said with a smile.
"It's nice to see that someone can keep up with Ben" my mother teased. I took my eyes off Mal and looked at my mother; I knew what she meant. If I was pranking Mal I was leaving them and the servants alone.
"Don't you mean he keeps up with me?" Mal teased. I then watched as Mrs Potts left the room after she had poured us all drinks. I then realised that if I wanted to do this prank I had to be quick.
"I'm just going to get a drink, you want one?" I asked Mal as I hastily stood up.
"Ben you already have one?" Mal said as she pointed to my drink.
"I want another one" I stated.
"So?" I asked.
"No thank you" Mal replied politely. I quickly walked into the kitchen and was greeted with Mrs Potts putting the final touches on our food.
"Your majesty; I'm sorry I didn't know you were all ready to eat" she said quickly as she realised that I was stood there.
"Kinda" I said as I looked down at the four plates in front of her.
"Mrs Potts can you help me?" I asked quietly as I hoped that Mal was too involved in conversation with my parents for her hypersenses to hear me.
"I can try" she relied politely.
"I want to prank Mal" I advised.
"Which one is her food?" I said pointing to the plates. I watched as Mrs Potts started to grin at me as she shook her head.
"That one" she said pointing to the plate that was nearest to me.
"Thank you" I said as I pulled the plate closer to me.
"I am surmising that I will need to make another plate for her?" Mrs Potts asked as I went and got the milk from the fridge.
"Yeah please" I said as I opened the cupboard and got the extra hot hot sauce.
"What are you doing?" She asked as she started to get the second plate ready for Mal.
"Putting hot sauce on her food and in the milk" I said as I poured the hot sauce in the milk and shook it up so you couldn't tell that the hot sauce was there.
"I know she will come for it" I said as I placed the milk back into the fridge.
"Young love" Mrs Potts laughed as she watched me pour hot sauce on the plate and on Mal's chicken burger.
"Make sure she gets that one" I said as I pushed the bun back on to the burger.
"Ok" she said as I poured myself another drink so Mal wouldn't click on.
"I'll bring hers out first" she offered.
"Thank you" I said as I left the kitchen.
"You took your time?" I heard Mal say.
"I was just speaking to Mrs Potts" I stated as I sat back down next to her.
"I see" she replied as Mrs Potts entered the room with mine and Mal's plates.
"Here you go" she said as she placed both plates down in front of me and Mal.
"Thank you" we both replied.
"I'll be a moment with yours" I heard Mrs Potts tell my mother and father before she left the room.
"That's strange" Mal noted.
"What is?" I asked hoping that Mal hasn't clicked on yet.
"Doesn't she normally serves your parents first?" Mal asked.
"Does she?" I asked dismissively.
"Ben" she stated sternly.
"What's up?" She asked as she narrowed her eyes at me. I could tell that she was trying to figure out what was happening; fingers crossed she wouldn't be able to until it was too late.
"Nothing" I stated and I couldn't help but grin at her.
"What's wrong?" She asked as she started to get irritated with me.
"Nothing" I repeated as I picked up my burger and started to eat it.
"Apparently" I added as I swallowed the piece of burger that was in my mouth.
"Hmmm" she said watching me and then her eyes widened as Mrs Potts served my parents their food.
"What have you done to this?" She said as she pointed to her food.
"Nothing" I said as I faked feeling hurt.
"Ben don't lie" she snapped.
"I'm not" I countered.
"Ben you know I have hypersenses" she warned me.
"Yes" I replied.
"This doesn't smell like it does last time" she said as she smelt her food. I had to resist the urge to laugh at her then; I knew she was close but I needed to make sure she ate it.
"Mrs Potts just said she's tried a new recipe" I said as I took another bite.
"I see" she said and thankfully she looked convinced.
"I suppose that's ok" she said as she picked up her burger and took a bite out of it. I took another bite of my burger and I heard a clatter and I had to stop myself from laughing. Mal had dropped her burger on to her plate and was now taking in deep breaths; and her eyes were widened which told me that she was starting to feel the burn of the hot sauce.
"What's wrong Mal?" I asked innocently.
"Wow!" She said as she took a large sip of her drink.
"That's hot" she noted as stuck her tongue out before taking another drink.
"Is it?" I asked smugly.
"Mine's not" I added. I watched as Mal watched me for a few seconds and then she finally clicked on.
"You" she accused as she placed her glass down. I then watched as she reached to be sick and I pursed my lips together so I wouldn't laugh.
"I'm going to be sick" Mal said and this made me laugh.
"Ben what have you done?" I heard my mother ask as Mal continued to cough.
"Nothing" I stated as Mal took another drink.
"Benjamin!" My mother warned me.
"Ok" I said as I laughed.
"So I might have tampered with her food a little bit" I finally admitted.
"You what?" Mal asked incredulously.
"What did you-"she started but resisted the urge to be sick.
"Do?" She asked.
"I put hot sauce on your food" I admitted smugly.
"Oh Ben!" Mal stated and she quickly got up and ran into the kitchen.
"Where has she gone?" My father asked.
"To get the milk" I said grinning at him.
"Why are you grinning like that?" He asked. I opened my mouth to say something but was stopped by a loud noise.
"BEN!" Mal roared from the kitchen.
"You've put it in the milk as well haven't you?" My mother asked.
"Yes" I confirmed.
"Benjamin really!" My mother snapped as Mal walked in. As I looked at her I started to feel scared; if looks could kill I would be dead.
"I am going to kill" Mal started to croak.
"You" she finished between breaths as she sat down next to me.
"Ben I'm going to be sick" she informed me as she put her head in her hands.
"What's the matter Mal?" I teased.
"Can't keep up?" I laughed.
"You don't know who your messing with" she warned me.
"Threaten me all you want to but you didn't expect me to do that" I stated.
"No" she agreed.
"And you won't expect what I am going to do either" she said as she finally looked up at me.
"I love it when she gets all feisty" I told my parents.
"Hmph" Mal puffed.
"Prank war on?" I asked her.
"Prank war on" she confirmed as Mrs Potts took away her plate and replaced it with the new one.
"What have you done to this one?" She asked me sarcastically.
"Nothing" I stated.
"I promise he hasn't touched this one" Mrs Potts promised as she went to leave the room.
"Ok" Mal said.
"But I don't feel as hungry now" she said as she looked down at her food.
"Drama Queen" I muttered which made her slap my wrist.
"Your for it now Florian" she warned me as she took one of my drinks.
"Hit me with your best shot Bertha" I laughed as we continued with our meal.
