Wheyl, I got a… weird? Review on the last chapter, but it was all gravy and made me and my best friend laugh so much :')
This is the last chapter, so here it is:
Chapter Three: CHEAT!
Wen hated to admit, but this game was actually quite fun and he could not wait to get back into it, "Okay, Wen, it's a new round for you, so take a new card from the pile. Stel, you're out until the next go."
Wen picked from the pile, smirking as he turned the 'Take Two' card around. Taking a further I and a blank card from the pile, he placed the 'take two' care back in the centre pile. Scrambling it up once more.
"Clue one is 'I put my head in a hairy opening'." Scott informed him.
"Is it a vet?"
"Nope. Second clue is 'I do it with animals."
Wen thought, not wanting to be out of the game again, he said, "Pass."
"Okay, Charlie, any ideas?"
"Is it one of those people who stuff the dead animals?" He cringed at the thought.
"A taxidermy? No. Mo?" Scott looked to her, eyebrows raised.
"Dog walker?"
He shook his head. "Long shot," He told her, "Olivia?"
"Is it a zoo keeper?"
"Nope, final clue: I like to use a whip.'" He looked to Wen who was deep in thought.
"I honestly have no clue, pass." He sighed.
"Exterminator?" Charlie guessed. Wrong again.
Mo then began to think really hard, "A lion tamer?"
"And we have another winner. You take a card from Wendell over here." Wen shot Scott a glare for the use of his full name, before holding his cards out to Mo.
He almost flipped, she took his stupid I!
Rolling his eyes at Wen's reaction, Scott looked over to Stella, meeting her gaze, and began to get lost in her brown eyes. No, focus Pickett! There's a game to be played here! "Stella, you're back in the game."
She picked up a t card, before nodding to her boyfriend for him to continue.
"Your first clue is: I am a large erection."
"A tent!"
"Nope." Scott gave her a sympathetic smile, "The second clue is: coming inside of me will keep you off the street?"
"Pass." She answered, not willing to risk losing her card.
Scott looked from her to Charlie, "Jail?" He asked, Scott shook his head.
This time looking to Mo, "Your turn."
"A community centre?" She asked, the look on her face telling them she really was guessing the answer. It was wrong anyway.
Olivia paused, biting her nail, "I really have no idea." She surrendered, "Pass?"
"Alright then, final clue: When you pull out, it's time to pay."
"Pass." Stella surrendered again, knowing they might be as clueless as her, and that would leave her still holding a card.
Charlie then stepped in and answered, "Is is a car park?"
"And we have a correct answer, Stella, you lose your card, sorry."
Leaning over and taking the card, Charlie was left with a T, T and a Y.
"Pick your card, Charlie."
As he did, he grabbed a pick two card, and smiled. Taking a further two from oposite sides of the pile. "Okay, do I get to take six?" He asked, turning the three take two cards over to them.
Stella looked at Scott and took the piece of paper with the instructions from him, "It doesn't say so."
"Technically, you'd take four." Mo informed him, you already used the first card."
And that's what he did.
Taking a Y, I, R and D.
"DIRTY!" He shouted out. Laying the cards in front of him spelling out the word.
"Okay, that has got to be a fluke. There's no chance you were going to win." Mo informed him, hitting him lightly on the arm.
"Definitely cheating." Stella imputed.
"What?" Charlie exclaimed, "It's not like I could see through the cards!"
"How do we know?" Wen now asked.
Charlie shot them all a look before sighing, "I guess you don't, and you never will. So… Got any cheese?"
They gave a collective groan, "Try the fridge, where it always is." Wen informed him, packing away the game with Scott. "I'll take this upstairs."
"Leave down 'Monopoly', we'll play that next!" Stella called as Olivia picked the other two games from the floor, giving a nod and leaving the one game before following Wen upstairs.
"Mo, make sure he doesn't eat all of the cheese!" Wen called from the top of the stairs. Taking the two boxes out of Olivia's hands.
.
"So…" Scott said, as Mo left to the kitchen and footsteps were heard on the upper landing, he looked to Stella who was still sitting next to him.
"So…" She mimicked, smirking at him, "You could have at least flashed me the answers you know!" The guitarist moaned, hitting him with the back of her hand.
Scott laughed, rubbing the spot she hit even though it didn't hurt, "Ow!" He faked a moan.
"You are a pansy." Stella laughed at him.
"Me? A pansy? Never! You on the other hand, Miss. Yamada, are a total pansy." She shot him a glare, "Yeah, I'm not even scared by your glare." Instead he began to tickle her, knowing she was extremely ticklish.
Both bodies got lost in a charade of thrashing around limbs on the living room floor. Both laughs filled the air, that was until he stopped, and realised he was positioned on top of Stella. His lips right above her's.
Without a second thought, he lowered them on to her's, passionately kissing her.
Stella was taken aback, but began to return the kiss.
.
"Monopoly, eh?" Olivia asked, as she placed the games on a shelf in Sydney's bedroom.
"Yeah." Wen replied, moving all of the boxes around, trying to replicate where they originally where.
"I always sucked at that game." Confessed Olivia.
"You do, huh?" Wen asked, seemingly more interested in the games locations on the shelves still. "I'm not to bad."
"Yeah, well I am bound to lose. I always go bankrupt."
He turned to smirk at her, "Maybe we can play it in couples instead." He suggested.
"Couples, eh? Like you and me, Mo and Charlie, Scott and Stella?" Wen nodded, "Because that's not going to be awkward for them."
He shrugged, "They need to get used to it. Mo and Scott have been split up for three months, and he's been dating Stella for a month and she's been with Charlie for…"
"Two weeks." Olivia informed him.
"See, well past the point of awkwardness." He walked over to her.
"Or right in the middle of it."
"Only one way to find out." Wen suggested, holding his hand out to her.
Of course, Olivia took a hold of it, but instead of following him, she stood still, his arm pulling back, "Huh?" He sounded confused.
To save the confusion, she pressed his lips against his.
.
He was in deep concentration, which was quite amusing considering all he was doing was cutting some cheese, yet his eyes were glazed with his carefulness, and his tongue was sticking out of his mouth. All signs Mo knew. It was adorable. She stood in the doorway watching him for a few seconds before giggling slightly.
Startled by the sudden noise, Charlie looked to the door, and smile back at her, "What's so funny?" He questioned.
"You."
"Uh… Thanks?" That was a compliment, right?
"You're concentrating so had on cutting the cheese. It's adorable!" Mo exclaimed, laughing a bit more.
Charlie let the knife drop to the cutting board, "Think you can do it faster?" He propositioned her, "Oh, I know I can."
She never waited for the invitation, instead she shoved him out of the way and picked up the knife, cutting perfect slices.
"Wow. Impressive. But you are a woman."
She almost threw the knife at him, "And you're a sexist jerk."
Charlie held his hands up in surrender, "I'm just saying, it is kind of cheating." He laughed slightly, knowing how easy it was to wind Mo up. Probably not the best idea to do it when she was holding a knife.
Mo did not reply, she only looked up, and met his eyes.
Those beautiful eyes.
She had been getting lost in them all night and know she could look at them properly in the kitchen light.
Beautiful, sparkling brown orbs.
She licked her lips. He noticed.
Before they had the chance to lean in for the kiss, Wen entered the kitchen.
"Hurry it up, we're waiting to start playing here. And, oh, it's a couple's game. You and Mo, Scott and Stel, Me and Liv."
So maybe they never got to kiss, but both were looking forward to spending the night playing board games together.
Happy Halloween guys! :D
