Chapter 4
Gwen's POV-
Another fresh morning. I expected the birds' chirping to wake me up from my peaceful slumber. Ya know, like one of those cliché Cinderella stories. But no. I'm no Cinderella.
My phone buzzed on the bedside table beside my bed, duh, awakening me. I tried ignoring it a few times but it didn't work, it would just keep on ringing. Finally, giving up, I reached for my phone, picked it up and went back to lying down on my bed while answering it.
"Mmmm, Hello?" I said, still half asleep.
"Rise and shine, sweetheart," Said an unknown voice on the other line.
"Mm, who's this?" I said lazily.
"It's your sexy boyfriend babe. Remember me?" just then I shot up from my snooze in complete shock. All my laziness and sleepiness went straight down the toilet.
"What the hell. Duncan?!" I asked, more like yelled.
"That's me. Aw, did I wake you up?" he said, faking misery.
"How the hell did you get my number?!" I said, avoiding his question and asking my own.
"Take a wild guess." He put emphasis on the 'wild' and I could just feel him smirking on the other line.
"LeShawna!" I figured out quite quickly.
"Wow. You really are good at this game. Anyhow, I was wondering about the date we're going on tonight," He began, "I was thinking, movie and then dinner or dinner and then movie. Which one do you think is better?" he asked as I scoffed.
"Date? What date? I didn't say yes to any date!" I sneered.
"Oh, ya know, the date you owe me." He smirked.
"I don't owe you anything. Oh and don't call me again! Got that?" and with that, I hung up.
The phone ringed again, but this time, I threw it on the bed, and sprinted across the hall. As I reached LeShawna's room door, I slammed the door open. She bolted up from her sleep, screeching.
"EEEE! Don't kill me! There's money on the desk!" she squealed without realising it was me at the door. "Oh Gwen," she sighed of relief, "I thought it was a robber trying to kill me!"
"Oh, you're dead alright." I pointed my finger at her and entered the room, shutting the door behind me.
"What do you mean?" she asked, discombobulated.
[A/N: Ahahah! Discombobulated is a fancy word for confused that I found out in school! xD Don't get confused, or should I say, discombobulated! AHAHAHAHA! ~Sigh~ Yea...]
"I mean, how the hell Duncan got my number?!" I asked in anger as I sat down on the corner of her bed.
"Oh," she scratched her arm is guiltiness, "That...is a long story" she said, not making eye contact.
"I've got time." I said, still pretty pissed. She sighed and began telling me how Duncan saw her having sex with Harold and is blackmailing her.
"Oh...so that's why you gave him all that detail about me?" I asked, suddenly feeling apologetic for poor LeShawna.
"Yea, gurl. I wouldn't do that on purpose!" she looked to her lap.
"Aw, LeShawna. It's gonna be okay." I gave her a pitiful smile and hugged her. "As long as you didn't do anything else, it's fine." She suddenly pulled away awkwardly.
"Yeaaa, about that..." she began
"What else did you do?" I narrowed my eyes.
"I...um...kinda agreed for you to go on a date with him..." she said.
"WHAT?!" I yelled in disbelief.
Duncan's POV-
"I don't owe you anything. Oh and don't call me again! Got that?" and with that, she hung up.
Hmm, she doesn't know about the date. I'm guessing LeShawna didn't tell her yet. See, I knew there was a reason as to why I'm still friends with LeShawna. It finally came in handy!
Oh and let's get one thing straight, I do not love Gwen. Heck, I don't even 'like like' her. Sure, she's hot, and she plays hard to get. But that's what turns me on. My target is to go out with her, act all lovey dovey, sleep with her, get the money for the bet, and then move onto the next girl. Only difference was, Gwen wasn't that easy.
I called her again, about 2 to 3 times. But no answer. Has she gone back to sleep? Was she yelling at LeShawna? Was she in the toilets? It was a Saturday morning so I couldn't see her at school, dang it.
Come on Gwen! Pick the damn phone up!
Gwen's POV-
"WHAT?!" I yelled straight her face.
"Yea... I'm sorry gurl. But there was nothin I could do! The boy blackmailed me!" she said as her eyes widened.
"YOU'RE the one who told me not to go out with him in the first place! And now you suddenly change your mind?!" I yelled again.
"NO! Of course I didn't change my mind! He's a jerk! I'm not telling you to fall in love with him—"
"Then what exactly are you implying?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm ASKING you to go on a date with the guy." She frowned.
"LeShawna I don't know about that..."
"C'mon Gwen! Save my butt this one time? Please?" she begged.
It took me a while to think this through. If I said no, then Duncan would probably tell the whole school and embarrass LeShawna and Harold, and LeShawna would hate me for that. But if I said yes... then Duncan would win. What should I do?
"Fine...but just this one time!" I pointed out she nodded happily.
"YES! Thanks gurl! I owe you one!" I smiled at her and got up to leave. "Oh and Gwen...?" she stopped me.
"Yea?" I asked.
"Don't sleep with the guy." She grimaced.
"Oh trust me, I won't." And with that, I fled the room and went to mine.
Duncan's POV-
Urg! Come on dammit! It's been 10 minutes and still no answer from her! Getting really impatient here! Pick up! Pick up! Pick up!
She picked up!
"Hello?" she answered the phone! Okay, calm down Duncan, act cool.
"Hey babe, finally decided to pick up I see. I'm assuming you talked to LeShawna by now?"
"Listen, creep, I don't like you, okay? I don't and I never will-" She said harshly but I interrupted her.
"Hmm, LeShawna didn't do her job? Well then, Monday is going to be very fun indeed." I smirked.
"No! No! You didn't let me finish..." she started to hesitate.
"Oh really? Well go on then..." my smirk grew.
"I...um...I-I'll go out with you." I perked up.
"Yeah? Cool. So I'll pick you up at 8?"
"O-okay." She sounded upset.
"Aw, don't be so upset babe. Am I not good enough for you?" I asked playfully.
"Hey, I don't wanna do this. It's not my fault you fucking blackmailed my cousin!" she had anger in her tone now.
"Whoa there! Language gwenny!"
"Whatever, Just pick me up at 8." And she hung up.
Day 2 and already a date! Bingo!
THAT NIGHT AT 8PM
Gwen's POV-
Great. It was time for my big date with the douche.
I got hurried and got ready before Duncan arrived. I wore my black skinny ripped jeans, my signature black combat boots, a black low cut tank top and a purple sweater to go with it. Along with that, I wore my black scarf and a matching purple beanie.
Just as I finished putting my mascara and clear lip gloss on, the door bell rang. I started to search for my purse when I heard LeShawna's mum's, my aunt's, voice.
"GWEN, SWEETY! THERE'S SOMEONE HERE TO SEE YOU!" she yelled from downstairs.
"COMING!" I said and raced down the hallway when LeShawna spotted me.
"Gurl, get in here for a sec!" she ordered as I obeyed shyly.
"What?" I asked, stopping at her doorstep. Her eyes widened.
"You look..." she trailed off.
"Ugly? Hideous? Repulsive? Unattractive? Dodgy?" I guessed.
"...GOOD!" she finished off as I smiled. "But why? Why you so dressed up for this 'date'?" she air quoted. I honestly didn't have an answer.
"I...um...well, if I have to go on a stupid date, might as well make it a proper one, right?" I giggled nervously.
"You don't...oh I dunno...LIKE him or anything, right?" she raised her eyebrow.
"What?! Of course not!" I scoffed as my aunt called again.
"GWEN! HURRY UP!"
"BE RIGHT THERE! Well, it's time. I'll tell you all about it after I get back." I said and left without a second glance back.
I hurried down the stairs, and was welcomed by my aunt interrogating the boy at the door, Duncan.
"And how long will you be out?" she asked.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I'll have her home by 11 o'clock sharp." Wow, Duncan was actually being polite? Didn't see that coming.
"Sorry I'm late. I was just...talking to LeShawna..." I interrupted their conversation.
Both of their heads whipped to look at me. My aunt smiled at me, pleased that I didn't go complete gothic with my outfit. Duncan, on the other hand, was stunned. I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult. I smiled at my aunt and walked outside.
"Don't fret aunt Saphy, I promise I won't be late."
"Okay dear. Have a good time." She smiled and shut the door.
"I won't" I muttered under my breath and turned to Duncan. "So," I began, "What's the plan?"
He didn't quite get the message; he just kept staring at me with that goofy smile.
"Uhmm, hello? Earth to pervert!" I waved my hand in front of his face as he snapped out of his trance.
"Oh, right! So, I was thinking, we should go to the movies and watch that new horror flick." He smirked.
"Texas Chainsaw 3D?!" I perked up.
"Yep. You seem excited." He teased.
"Oh please. I promised to go out on a date with you; I didn't promise that I'll enjoy it." I folded my arms across my chest in denial.
"Hmm, challenge accepted!" she grinned.
We talking in front of the house, greeted by Duncan's motorcycle.
"I-is that a... Honda 250 CBR?" I asked in shock.
"Like it?"
I walked around the motorcycle.
"Love it!" I smiled to myself. "Ahem! I mean, it's alright. Not the best one in the world." I corrected.
"Sure, sure. Well hop on." He said and got on the vehicle himself.
"What? No helmet?" I asked as he shook his head. "Isn't that sort of...illegal?" I asked again.
"Well, babe, I don't like to follow by the rules." He winked.
"And how many times have you been to prison?" I questioned.
"None really, I went to Juvie."
"Oh? For what?"
"Nothing you need to know. Now get on the damn bike." He winked.
"Okay, okay, sheesh." I hopped on behind him and held onto the handle-bar behind the back, not wanting to touch him.
"So...you feel like dying tonight?" he asked, looking at my grimacing expression through the side mirror.
"What? No!" I said and looked to the right, not making eye contact.
"Well then, sweetheart," he started and turned the engine on, "You might wanna hold onto something...firm." he grinned and sped off in full motion.
Oh crap!
I was about to fall back ANY minute now! But before my arrogant side got to me, I wrapped my arms around his waist and gripped onto him.
"DUNCAN! SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!" I yelled through the wind in my hair.
"AW C'MON! IT'S MORE FUN THIS WAY!" He yelled back and drove faster.
AFTER 10 MINUTES OF EXTREME DRIVING
"Holy. Crap." I said as I got off the bike.
"I know right. That was—" he said as he parked the bike and got off too, but I interrupted.
"TOTALLY STUPID! What the hell?! We could've DIED on that!" I screeched.
"But, we didn't." He raised his eyebrow suggestively and put his index finger under my chin, lifting it up.
I shoved his hand away and walked into the cinema hall.
"This date is so not good so far." I muttered to him as he followed me inside.
"It'll get better. Trust me." He winked. "Here," he passed me a 20 dollar bill, "you go get the food, I'll take care of the tickets."
"I have money with me ya know. I can pay for the food." I said.
"Consider it...your treat. Besides, I'm the one who asked you out." he smirked.
"No Duncan, I ca—"
"Okay, fine, you take the money and buy food, but you'll owe me. Okay?" he negotiated.
"Fine." I smiled and went to get the food.
I went to the food parlour and got 1 large popcorn, 2 medium sized coke and nachos, then headed back to the theatre to see Duncan texting someone on his phone.
Duncan's POV-
"Fine." she smiled and went to get the food.
Just as I was about to get ready for the movie, I heard my phone beep. I received a text message from Geoff. It said:
[Hey dude, how's the date goin wiv that hottie?]
{Pretty well so far. She's gone to get food. We're gonna watch a movie.}
[Scary one?]
{You know it ;D Best way to get a girl to cuddle up to you}
[Well good luck with that dude. You sure you can get in her pants in just 6 days?]
{100%. She mite act like she dun't want me, buh I know she does. Kinda hard to resist me, knw what I'm sayin? ;D}
[Don't get too full of urself man.]
"Hey, got the food." Gwen greeted with popcorn, coke and nachos in her hand.
{G2g man. Gwen's here. Tell u how it went l8er.}
[All the best dude.]
I shut my phone and put it in my pocket, then turned to face Gwen.
"Hey. Let's go." I motioned to the door.
"Where are the tickets?" she questioned.
"Oh, didn't I mention? We're sneaking in, babe." I said looking around and not making any eye contact with her.
"WHAT?! We can't just sne—"
"Shhh!" I hissed and covered her mouth. "You wanna shout it out to the whole world?!" I whisper-yelled. She shook her head slightly and I released my hand. "Good. The security isn't here, so we can just sneak in easily. Come on." I grabbed her empty hand and led her to stage 3, Texas Chainsaw.
We were the only people in the theatre, no one else, just us.
Perfect!
We took the front row seats, thinking that'll freak her out more so I can get some action. Well... things didn't go exactly according to plan...
Instead of screaming her heart out and cuddling up to me in terror, she actually liked the gore. She even laughed when the old lady's head got sliced off by the chainsaw. Who knew a girl could have this much guts?
Now that is hot.
Just as it was coming to the best part, a member of security barged in.
"Hey you both! Let me see your tickets! Now!" he yelled and walked up to us.
"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit." That's what Gwen kept on muttering.
"Play along." I whispered to her and walked up to the security man. "Oh, that's right...our tickets..." I said and walked past him slowly.
I then grabbed Gwen's hand and ran as fast as I could through the hallway with the security dude chasing after us.
"GET BACK HERE YOU TWO HOOLIGANS!" he yelled and followed us outside in the cold.
"Oh crap! He's getting closer! What do we do?!" I shouted at Gwen.
"I GOT IT!" she said and threw a massive packet of skittles behind her on the ground. "TASTE THE FUCKING RAINBOW DUDE!" she yelled as the guy slipped on the skittles.
"AHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS AWESOME!" I laughed.
"YEA? I JUST THOUGHT OF IT ON THE SPOT!" she joined in.
"THANKS FOR SAVING OUR BUTT!" I said, still running so the guard doesn't catch up to us.
"Yeah! You better be thankful! I sacrificed my sweet skittles for that!"
"Haha, don't worry babe. I'll get you all the skittles you need." I winked and we both panted from all the running.
We laughed our asses off as we reached my motorcycle. And we drove back to the front of Gwen's house by 10:55pm.
I parked in front of her gateway as she slipped off and started walking towards the door. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto my lap.
"What? No thank you? Or goodnight? Or a kiss?" I smirked.
"Um, how about, no." She glared.
"Oh? You didn't have a good time then?" I raised my eyebrow.
"Riding on a death machine, sneaking into a movie, getting caught, being chased by a security dude and sacrificing my skittles? No, no I didn't."
"Oh really? Funny, cause I thought you had plenty fun when we watched the awesome movie, ate all the delicious snacks, laughed as hard as we could after dodging that guard."
She finally lost her glare and smiled.
"Yeah, you're right; I guess it wasn't all that bad."
"So, how about that goodnight kiss?" I winked.
"Uhmm, no."
"Aw, c'mon, babe. You owe me one anyways, remember?"
She jogged her memory back 2 hours ago.
.::FLASHBACK::.
"Here," he passed me a 20 dollar bill, "you go get the food, I'll take care of the tickets."
"I have money with me ya know. I can pay for the food." I said.
"Consider it...your treat. Besides, I'm the one who asked you out." he smirked.
"No Duncan, I ca—"
"Okay, fine, you take the money and buy food, but you'll owe me. Okay?" he negotiated.
"Fine." I smiled and went to get the food.
.::END FLASHBACK::.
"Oohhh, riiight..." she remembered.
"So? Kiss?" I asked, puckering my lips.
She smiled.
YES!
She put both her hands below my jaw and closed her eyes as I closed mine, both leaning in. But instead of placing her lips onto mine, she hurried her lips to my right cheek and kissed it softly.
"Aw, what?" I asked disappointed as she pulled away.
She giggled.
"That's all you get, for now." She smirked and walked back into her house.
Before she opened the door, she shot me a wink, and then walked in.
Well, atleast that's a start.
