Here we are again! And its time for anything update, I am very pleased with how I am updating this, normally if I say I'm going to update daily it fails miserably, but I think I am rocking this!
I got a little stuck on this, so I watched the beginning of Saw, got terrified and carried on typing!
Thank you to Rafael Pereira, Kick Me Awake and Polka Dot Jewel for reviewing!
Chapter 4: Thursday: The Ice Cream.
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours…
Today was Thursday, meaning that both Courtney and Duncan had the day off work; they both normally spent it lounging around the house in each others company, it was the one day they both had off where the other wasn't working, so every Thursday was precious to them.
That is, when they weren't having a war.
That morning Duncan was still pretty bitter after last night's events and that led him to not talking to Courtney when she woke up, she knew she deserved it, but did she care? She gave in to Duncan every time he crossed the line, now it was her turn.
She enjoyed the silence for once, not having to listen to Duncan's snide little comments on how good her ass look this morning, and how better it would look if she wasn't wearing her baggy work clothes which would make her think that he hated the way she looked.
So, the two both sat in the kitchen eating their breakfast, Duncan was standing by the window with a bowl in his hand and a spoon in the other, once the contents of his bowl was gone, he started his revenge, he placed his lips to the bowel and begun slurping the milk out of the bowl.
Courtney instantly wrinkled up her nose at this, she hated when he did this, in fact he knew this, so why was he doing this?
"Duncan stop that?" She growled at him, he lowered his bowl and smirked at her.
"Really?" He asked, "Well this is going to drive you insane".
He started up again, making Courtney tighten her grip on her spoon, "Really?" She questioned him, "Are you just doing this to annoy me?"
"Maybe".
"You're such a pig" Courtney hissed at him as she stood up and placed her bowl in the sink.
Duncan smirked as he watched Courtney storm out of the kitchen and could hear her angry footsteps stomping up the stairs, the day was just beginning for them both, and Duncan had a lot more planned for her.
"Duncan?"
Duncan was upstairs when he heard Courtney calling him from downstairs, however this time it wasn't an angry 'I'm going to kill you' call, it was soft and gentle, something that he wasn't used to.
He walked downstairs and into the living room where she was waiting for him, "I'm going to go to the store, what do we need?"
Duncan thought to himself, they were running a little low on food and that was never good, he opened his mouth to tell her what they needed when an idea came into his head, something to get his own back on her.
"I've made a list of what we need, can you think of anything else?" Courtney asked him.
"You know what" He said kindly, "I'll go for you".
"Huh?" Courtney gawped at him, Duncan hated going shopping, so why was he changing his mind all of a sudden, "You sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure" Duncan replied.
"But…I don't know, I like to get certain things, I don't want you messing up".
"Court, you get the same things when you go shopping, I think I know by now" Duncan told her.
Courtney looked into his sincere looking eyes, and then reluctantly handed the list over to him, "Alright" She muttered, "Are you sure you want to go?"
"Of course Babe" Duncan said, giving her a soft smile, "I'll be back soon".
"Ok" Courtney mumbled as she sat down on the sofa, "Hey, remember to get some ice cream, chocolate".
"I will" Duncan called back, letting the sweet smile now spread into a dirty smug grin, "Don't you worry about that".
He soon came back with several bags of food, he took them straight to the kitchen and placed them on the side, Courtney followed him into the kitchen and started to peek in all the bags.
"Duncan, I'm surprised, "Courtney said to him, "You got everything I wanted on the list".
"What can I say" Duncan said as his leant against the wall, "I'm a genius".
He watched with expecting eyes as she carried on rummaging through all the bags, it hadn't happened yet, but still he carried on waiting for her to come across his surprise.
Suddenly, her warm facial expression changed to sour. Duncan's face creased up slightly as she slowly placed her hands into the bag and fished out a container, "You got the wrong flavour ice cream" She mumbled slowly.
"No I didn't" Duncan said.
"Yeah, you did" Courtney mumbled pointing to the container, "I wanted chocolate, not vanilla".
"Yeah…yeah you did" Duncan replied folding his arms, "But I like vanilla, I thought we could swap things over".
"Are you kidding me?" Courtney snapped at him, "We've always got chocolate ice cream".
"Exactly, we always get chocolate ice cream, change is good Babe" Duncan told her.
"I hate, hate, hate vanilla" Courtney protested, "And you know that, that's why we always got chocolate".
"How can you hate vanilla?" Duncan said back at her, "It's the best ice cream, you're just being stupid".
"I'm being stupid?" Courtney growled angrily, "I'm allergic to vanilla you idiot, I've told you time and time again".
It was true that Duncan did know this, he was just desperate to get back at her, however Courtney was a hard nut to crack and it was hard to try and find things to would really get her annoyed, and it just so happened that vanilla ice cream would be the perfect way to get her wound up.
"Oh, yeah I remember now" Duncan mumbled, "Are you sure its vanilla you're allergic to?"
"Yes I'm sure" Courtney snapped, "I could get a rash just from touching that thing".
"Well it would be an improvement" Duncan joked to her.
He then ended up wishing he had never said that.
Courtney's eyes grew large and without hesitating she picked up the ice cream container and opened up the lid, before Duncan could make a move she had tipped the contents all over his head.
Duncan blinked several times as the ice cream trickled down his face, Courtney had stormed out of the kitchen once again, as Duncan slowly wiped the ice cream off his face he could hear her angry screams of 'you're sleeping on the couch tonight' as he made she made her way up the stairs.
Duncan sighed as he grabbed a towel and started to mop himself up, "I hate it when revenge backfires" He groaned as he wiped the ice cream off his shoulders.
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver…
Haha, I like messing with them both! Keep reviewing guys! The next chapter will be up tomorrow!
