Chapter 4- Jealousy upon Arrival
It was 1 PM in the afternoon. Rigby and Eileen finally arrived in the little town of Silver Bay, Minnesota. The place was simple and small, but beautiful. The place had small but- according to Eileen- convenient shops. There was a small school at the north end of the town, and- to Rigby's surprise- was the party venue by the grand lake. It was a small 'resort' with ten log cabins. Rigby temporarily parked Margaret's car outside the resort, wondering which one was the cabin they were going to sleep in.
"So where do we park? Which one is our cabin?" Rigby asked. He was exhausted driving for more than four hours. He was getting lazy.
"The fifth one," Eileen replied. Rigby slowly parked the car beside the cabin. Then they went out and unloaded the luggage. Gee, what did Margaret pack in these things? Eileen thought to herself as they unloaded her first bag. She liked things organized, one bag for her tops, bottoms, under garments, and toiletries. Rigby helped her out with her bags before unloading his own. I mean, he's gotta thank Eileen for bringing him with her to this party.
As he unloaded his bag from the trunk, he heard Eileen call out with glee. "Bailey!"
He stopped moving, paralyzed for no reason. As soon as he was able to move again he turned around. He saw Eileen talking with a human. He was tall, had fair skin, shaggy dirty blonde hair and a strange eye color he couldn't put his finger on. He was wearing a leather jacket, a white shirt, black pants and leather boots.
Was this Bailey Anders? He did look anything like a guy Eileen would hang out with in her childhood years. He watched, with anger, much to his surprise, how Eileen approached the human to give him a hug.
"Bailey, how are you. Gosh, I haven't seen you in forever," Eileen said as Rigby started approaching the couple.
"Yeah, you too. How are you? Gosh, you grew a few inches."
"A few inches?" the mole asked, slightly offended.
"Yeah. I mean, look at you! You look great, and are those contacts?"
"Yes. They look great don't they?"
Please say no, please say no. Show her your inner asshole, Anders, Rigby thought. Just then, he bumped into someone hard and metal-like, dropping his bag.
"Oh hey, sorry I didn't see you…" he said, picking his bag up. He looked up to the person he bumped into and turned into a weird state of déjà vu.
"There," he finished his sentence. The person he bumped into was a bubblegum vending machine. It had Benson's sphere glass dome and long metal legs. It had a light pink dome and cap and brown hair. It was also wearing a quite revealing black top and short grey shorts.
She looked extremely familiar. "Oh, sorry, man," she said. The bubblegum machine helped the raccoon up.
"Thanks," he looked into the bubblegum's machine's eyes in interest. Could it be? "Uhh, what's your name?" he blurted out.
"Oh, I'm Caprice Price, formerly Caprice Cabellini. My parents divorced."
Parents divorced? Benson's family name? It is her.
"Caprice? It's me, Rigby, the raccoon from the park."
Caprice stopped and pushed him playfully. "Oh my gosh, you're Uncle Benson's asshole groundskeeper? Dude, you are amazing, seriously."
"Hey I wasn't an ass to you, you know. I was good to you."
"Yeah, but Uncle Benson keeps calling you an ass when we talk about you groundskeepers."
An ass, huh? Well Benson Price, in two days, you are going to lose all your gumballs, Rigby thought.
As Eileen carried on with her conversation with Bailey, she noticed something that nearly made her heart break. Not far from where she was standing, Rigby was talking to someone, a bubblegum machine. Rigby looked as if he was having fun with the conversation, and the bubblegum machine did too. She noticed the bubblegum machine playfully messes with his hair. He's never had that much fun with me before, she thought.
"Hey Lee-lee, are you fine?" Bailey asked her, starting to get concerned.
"What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just out of curiosity, who is that bubblegum machine over there?" she asked, pointing in the raccoon's direction.
"Oh that's Riley's girlfriend, Caprice. I don't recognize the raccoon, though. Is he with you?"
Just breathe, Eileen, the mole thought to herself. She's Riley's girlfriend. She's taken.
"So where's Riley?" Eileen asked to distract herself. But no matter how much she tried to stop, she kept looking at Rigby speaking with the bubblegum machine.
"He's out swimming," Bailey answered. Then he suddenly brightened up. Eileen knew exactly what the human was thinking.
"It's time to fish for a human," the said together.
"Yeah, it's pretty awesome here for a quiet country side," Caprice said. "I mean there's some stuff going on. School life here is just as awesome as school at the city."
"Really? I thought it'd be pretty lame, you know, being like an isolated city and all."
"What? No way! There's a lot of drama in this place."
"Oh." The raccoon finally remembered Eileen. Where was she? He looked around and saw a small brown figure on a small rowing boat together with a human figure. Suddenly he felt a small fire burning in his chest. He just wanted to rush there and sink that human into the lake while bringing Eileen into the safety of land. The fire inside him was getting hotter and hotter. He could just punch that Anders.
But that was someone Eileen grew up with. She'd be as hurt as hell if he got hurt, and if he was the one who hurt Anders. What would Eileen think of him after that?
"So uhh… It was nice seeing you, Caprice. I better get this to my cabin," the raccoon said in an awkward tone.
"Oh, okay then. See you, Rigs," Caprice said. Rigby quickly picked his luggage up and briskly walked to their cabin. Was Eileen jealous? He asked himself suddenly. Because I was jealous. Wait, what? No! I am not jealous… I… I…
He entered the cabin. It was a small rectangle. It was painted white. It had a little TV sitting on a little brown table. In front of it was a small orange sofa, only small enough for him and Eileen. He shuddered at the thought. He then looked at the other side of the cabin. There was a small little bedside desk but only one white bed. There wasn't even a small extra mattress or anything. It was just one bed big enough for the both of him.
This was going to be a big problem.
Rigby quickly realized that the cabin was hot and that there weren't any electric fans or air conditions. What kind of place is this? How did Eileen survive in a town with no air conditions or anything? He suddenly started getting sweaty. Aw man, this was the only clean shirt I have left. Well everything else in the bag is clean, but I'm saving them for the party. He thought to himself. After finally debating to himself, he decided to take his clothes off. Wearing a shirt annoyed him sometimes.
After taking a quick shower, Rigby laid down on the bed, still unsatisfied because of the heat. He tried sleeping. After all, it was still two hours before the party started. But he didn't succeed. It was still very hot, and the fire in his chest still hasn't calmed itself down.
Thirty minutes passed. Rigby was still alone. He closed his eyes, hoping that the heat would magically go away. Suddenly he felt a slight breeze, and for a second, he felt relieved.
That was until he heard her voice.
"Uhh, Rigby?"
Oh shit, no, Rigby thought. This is so embarrassing.
"Oh, Eileen. Oh, shit, I am so sorry."
"No, it's fine, it's fine," she replied. "I mean you're like that all the time."
"Oh right."
"So… You met Caprice?" Eileen asked uneasily as she walked at an awkward pace.
"Oh yeah. She's Benson's niece. She was over at the park a few years ago. Mordecai and I had to babysit her."
"Oh, Benson has a brother or sister?"
"Sister, actually."
"Hmm."
"So what were you doing at that boat with Bailey?" he asked, snarling at the name. The mole became worried of the raccoon's sudden strange behavior.
"Oh we were just fishing for his brother."
"Fishing for a guy? Dude, Eileen, that's weird."
"Well, yeah, but it's fun. Riley doesn't even mind."
"Oh, okay then."
Eileen sipped some of the coffee left beside the table. Until then did she notice when she turned around and saw that there was only one bed. Why didn't Bailey order another mattress? I told him to order one. Great, now Rigby and I are going to be sleeping on the same bed. As much as she'd like that to happen, she can't. It was too awkward.
"Oh, so are you dressing up for the party? I'm just going to uhh… change my clothes." She grabbed her two bags containing her tops and bottoms and went into the bathroom.
As she opened her bag of tops, she was completely shocked to find what Margaret packed for her.
They were all too revealing. One was too short, the other showed one of her bumps too much. There weren't even any pajamas, just lingerie. She was in complete shock and a little furious. She decided to call Margaret.
Rigby heard Margaret's voice on speaker in the bathroom. Curious, he leaned through the door to listen to it.
Mordecai and Margaret giggled together as they watched a romantic comedy film which name they didn't know on a movie channel. Suddenly, Margaret's phone was ringing. It was Eileen.
"Oh, I better take this. It's Eileen. She's probably seen the clothes now."
Mordecai chuckled and said, "Yeah, sure."
"Hello?" Margaret said.
"Margaret, what is this?" Eileen asked, slightly infuriated.
"Eileen, calm down, I'm just helping you out getting Rigby. I mean, who knows? One night stands could turn into more night stands."
"But he might think I'm a slut or something."
"Eileen, just calm down. He's going to like it, believe me."
"But-."
"Sorry, I gotta go. I'm watching some sort of movie with Mordecai. Bye."
"Bye," Eileen said to the dial tone.
Rigby couldn't believe his ears. Why on earth would he think Eileen is a slut? And what was this thing he heard about a one night stand? Why are Eileen and Margaret talking about stuff like this? Mordecai and Margaret probably have something planned. But what?
He did not get this at all.
He quickly went to his bag, opened it and pulled out a white tux jacket. He didn't like dressing formal, but Eileen did say it was a costume party. After putting it on and looking at his reflection in the mirror, he pulled out a men's cologne that Don uses. He tried it on at the mall, and damn it smelt good.
Five minutes later, the bathroom door opened. Rigby could not believe his eyes. Eileen was there standing before him, wearing a short above the knee sweetheart neckline dress. On her feet were beautiful crystal sandals. He also noticed some lace on the dress that made her look quite sexy. He shuddered and mentally slapped himself for even thinking that.
He didn't believe it.
They both matched.
"Sorry it's really short," Eileen said. She blinked and blushed pink. Rigby suddenly felt tingly. Was it getting warm? He thought.
"Nah, it's no problem. You look… beautiful." He never thought he would ever say it. But yes, he thought Eileen looked beautiful in that dress.
"So… the party is going to start in a few minutes," Eileen said, trying to get Rigby to stop staring at her. It was starting to give her butterflies in her stomach.
"Oh, yeah, sure. Uhh, you go ahead. I just need to get something."
"Oh, okay," Eileen said as she headed for the door.
As soon as she was out, Rigby went through a small bag she kept at the bathroom. It was too small to keep any clothes, so he was confident nothing 'inappropriate' was in it. He knew it was rude, but he just couldn't resist the urge. After digging deep into the bag of toiletries, he finds Eileen's glasses, which frames were quite dirty. He kept it into his jackets pocket.
She's hot with glasses too, his conscience told him as he left the cabin.
So what do you think? Tell me what you think by posting a review! :)
