Hey guys!

Previously on Trophy (Chapter 9):

Deciding it was probably the right time, he closed the distance between them and plunged his lips down on hers gently for their very first kiss.

Misty's eyes shot open in surprise but soon she relaxed into his kiss and returned it with as much enthusiasm as Ash. Slowly, she brought one arm up around his neck, the other holding her up on the bed and pulled him even closer to her. She felt Ash smile into their kiss and deepened it to which Misty enjoyed.

Ash's lips against hers, his warmth radiating against her, his hand tangled up in her hair while the other held himself up so as not to crush her, she enjoyed every single one of them.

He pulled away and placed a soft kiss on her nose and forehead before he rolled off her and held her tightly against him.

And to Ash, in his honest opinion, this was the best he'd ever felt and he was sure that none of these were part of the bet.

TROPHY
Chapter 10

"I swear, Hayden! You are cuh-razy!" May exclaimed as she laughed loudly. Drew sweat-dropped.

"I'm crazy? You're the one who's laughing like a pig!"

"Who are you calling a pig?" May ceased her laughter to glare at the grasshead.

"I said you laughed like one not looked like one," Drew said leaning back on his chair and looking at the menu. He had to admit that he liked May when she was fiery. This had only been their third date and already did he receive at least seven death glares from the brunette.

Contrary to popular belief, Drew actually liked May. In his opinion, she wasn't the typical goody-two shoes. She looked very innocent but she had the ultimate devious mind. She seemed very nice but her eyes hid the look of mischief. She was slim yet she ate like a king everyday.

Another interesting thing he considered was how she got into stupid and pointless fights over nothing with her brother, Max. The navy-haired young boy who seemed to read and know everything. His sparkling glasses also hiding the arrogant look in his eyes. The child was very cute but somehow he knew how to set May off. He would find it amusing when the Maple siblings would get into a fight along the hallways in school sometimes.

What Drew found absolutely likeable about May was how happy she was. She wasn't the happy-go-lucky type but she was genuinely a joyful person. He rarely saw her cry and when she did, she put on a strong façade, something he had admired since they'd known each other.

"So, Drew, tell me something about yourself. It's practically time for me to get to know you more. It's our third, uh-" May struggled to find the words. She felt awkward associating 'date' with Drew.

"Date?"

"Yeah, that."

"To begin with, I like basketball," Drew simply stated. May didn't find this amusing and smacked him right on the head.

"Stupid, I meant something I don't know about you!"

"Well if you're so smart then why don't you start!" Drew retorted.

"Fine!" May huffed childishly, "I like Science and I still watch Spongebob Squarepants and I think that Channing Tatum is hot and I used to have this huge crush on Steven Stone."

At these, Drew burst out in laughter.

"What's so funny? I don't even talk like that!" May narrowed her eyes at him.

"I still watch Spongebob Squarepants and Channing Tatum is hot and so was Steven Stone!" Drew mocked in a high-pitched voice before he burst out into a fit of laughter.

"Oh yeah? You do it then and we'll see who's gonna have the next laugh!" May yelled at him.

"Okay I will. I actually like Math and I listen to Rock Music and I absolutely hate oranges," Drew responded in an all-knowing manner.

"Puh-lease! I'm pretty sure you've got other secrets under that grasshead of yours," May insisted.

"I hate being called a grasshead."

"That's given. It's not my fault you have grass for hair," May replied calmly. Drew growled at her and continued.

"I like roses." Seeing that May was about to laugh at what he had just said, he added, "I know it sounds gay but I like them. They're calming. Don't you notice that I practically give every girl in school roses when I feel like it?"

"No because you've never given me one," May said, confused.

"Of course, I have," Drew replied. Before May could even mutter a reply, Drew was already directly in front of her holding up a rose.

"What? Where? Uh, w-what? Where did you get that? I don't remember you picking roses outside before we left!" May spluttered out.

"Consider it… Drew magic," he responded arrogantly. As May took the rose, she scanned it for any sign of fakeness. She found none. Needless to say, she was thoroughly impressed. Either she had a very bad eye or Drew was very stealthy.

"Not bad, Drew, not bad," she said as she recollected herself. She gave him a small smile before returning to her three-course meal leaving Drew to gaze at her in amusement.

-xoOox-

"You went on another date with Drew?" Dawn excitedly asked.

"Yeah, I think it was our third date. I really don't care. He's mean," May huffed though on the inside she was screaming in joy.

"Mean my ass. You're not convincing me with that blush on your cheeks, Maple," Misty argued.

"Speak for yourself. I'm not the only one who went on a date last Saturday. As far as I know, Ash brought you home and introduced you to his mom," May replied with a knowing look on her face.

"How was it? I swear, you guys are becoming more and more distant by the second what with all the boyfriends you've got," Dawn commented.

"Drew isn't my boyfriend, Dawn."

"I don't care."

"Ash's mother is absolutely amazing. I thought she was like the strict kind of mother who wouldn't approve of Ash's girlfriends but it turned out, we actually had a lot in common. I mean we both watched the same late night shows and we both love cooking and we both think that Ash eats like a pig and basically, we think alike!"

"Looks like you've had the time of your life. What else happened? I still have a feeling that you're not telling us everything!" Dawn impatiently replied.

"T-that's about it," Misty nervously responded. She was deciding whether to tell them about her kiss with Ash. Her absolute amazing kiss with Ash. She was sure that both of them would be shouting their lungs out.

"Nope! That's not it. Jeez guys, would you please stop keeping secrets from me? First, May lies about not liking Drew and not you're lying to me about your date with Ash! I thought we were friends." Dawn pouted childishly while May and Misty both just looked at her in pity.

"Well, if you must know, Ash and I kinda kissed last Sa-"

"What do you mean kinda kissed last Saturday?!" Dawn suddenly urged Misty to continue while looking at her straight in the eye.

"You know, kiss. Like lips to lips."

"What? How? When?" Dawn insisted, grabbing Misty's arm and gripping it tightly.

"We were having a tickle fight on his bed and his hand kinda gave in on his weight and he fell on me and before I knew it, we were kissing," Misty explained with a nervous blush covering her ears, neck and face.

"Oh my, Arceus! How did it feel? Was he as good as everyone thought he'd be?"

"Yeah, he was. And then we just cuddled the whole night away until I had to go home," Misty said with a dreamy look on her face. She definitely had a wonderful time. Of course she could've stayed there with Ash longer but her sisters decided otherwise. As usual, they couldn't manage the gym so Misty had to leave but not before Ash could give her another long and sweet kiss.

"Aww, Misty. You've got that look on your face! It's like you don't even remember that Ash broke your bike last month!" Dawn gushed.

"Oh, I remind him everyday. In fact, I reminded him the other night and that's what started our tickle fight hence the kiss," Misty explained remembering every single detail of Saturday night.

"You guys are so cute! I always knew you'd both end up together!"

"Who would end up together?" A snotty voice asked.

"Hi Melody," Misty greeted complete unaffected by Melody's interference.

"Hello Misty. I heard you and Ash kissed the other night, is that true?" she asked with fake interest behind her voice.

"Yeah, we did," Misty confidently answered. Melody smirked earning her confused glares from the group.

"What's with the look, Melody?" May demanded.

"Nothing dear!" Melody insisted waving both her hands in front of her. "I find it really cute! But I feel bad for you, Misty. I mean, come on! You're totally far from his league. I don't even know what he saw in you. My, my! For all we know, you could just be another one of 'the girlfriends' who would probably end up being… dumped."

"Look Melody, I don't know nor do I care what you're trying to say but please just leave us alone. I am completely happy with where Ash and I are standing right now and I don't need you telling me what I am to him and he is to me okay?" Misty argued, having the urge to just scream at the cheerleader.

"I was just saying, Misty. You should be careful. You know how those jocks are; moving from one girl to another!" Melody said with false concern.

"Obviously, you're just jealous that I'm with Ash and he's not with you. I suggest you go run back to your squad and just leave the both of us alone," Misty calmly replied.

"Whatever, Misty. Only time knows what's bound to happen," Melody stated before turning around and walking away with the three other girls glaring behind her back.

"What is with her? It's like she doesn't know how to keep her hands off someone else's man," May told her friends with a look of disgust on her face.

"She's not worth our time. Let's just leave her to her own fantasies," Dawn responded.

"You're right, Dawn. She's not worth my time. I've got you guys and Ash," Misty proudly said.

"Uhuh," Dawn affirmed before adding, "As much as I would love to continue with our chitchat, I have a homework that's due in an hour so I'm off to the library to cram it. See you guys later!" In a heartbeat, she took off leaving both May and Misty.

"I've got the perfect idea, Misty!" May suddenly cried out causing Misty to jump in surprise.

"What is it?" Misty asked.

"Why don't you and Ash go on a double date with Drew and I? That would be so fun!" May happily invited.

"That would be perfect! How about this Saturday?"

"I'm fine with that. This would be so exciting!" May exclaimed. "All I have to do now is convince Drew."

"I thought you guys weren't together? How come you want us to go on a double date with him and Ash?"

At this, May blushed.

"We're not together. I don't even know where we stand. We go on dates and we talk a lot but I really don't know what we are," May said looking down.

"You could've fooled me. You guys look like you're together," Misty replied. May was about to counter but another person interjected them.

"Ah, there's my girl!" Ash called out as he pulled Misty in for a kiss earning the couple a dreamy look from May and a bored look from Drew.

"So now you're kissing her?" Drew asked as Misty and Ash pulled away.

"Don't blame me for wanting to kiss her, Drew. You're just jealous that I've got a girlfriend and you don't," Ash responded.

"That is so far from the truth," he stated remembering why Ash and Misty were together in the first place. Ash just gave him a glare and placed his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders.

"Ash, you're just the person that I need!" Misty nodded to May, "May here just asked me if we could go on a double date with her and Drew!"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Who said anything about a date? And how come I don't know anything about this? What are you up to, Maple?" Drew narrowed his eyes in order to glare at her.

"Hey, so it's okay for you to suddenly ask me out on dates and it's not okay for me?" May stared at him incredulously.

"I don't have anything against it. It's just that you haven't even asked me yet!" Drew fired back.

"Fine! Drew, will you go out with me on a double date with our friends?!" May shouted at him.

"No!"

"Why not?!"

"Because a man's got to do the first move!" Drew argued.

"Fine!"

"Fine! May, will you go out with me on a double date with our friends?!" Drew shouted at her.

"Yes!"

"Good! When?!"

"Saturday night!"

"Saturday night! See you then!"

"Fine!"

"Good!"

"Good!" And with that, they both stormed off in different directions leaving an amused Ash and Misty who both had a look of disbelief in their face.

"What the hell did I just see?" Ash asked rhetorically.

"We have weird friends, Ketchum," Misty replied with the bemused look still on her face. Then, there was silence between them until Ash decided to break it up.

"Wanna go for a smoothie?" He asked.

"I'd love, too," Misty said as she took his hand in hers.
