Unexpected Happenings
Author's Note: Sorry about the wait people but you know how much a bitch school can be. And 2 big projects due next Monday don't help any either. But I'm back with another chapter. I'm still surprised at how much feedback I've gotten for this story. I appreciate all of your reviews. Okay, back to business. You've got a story to read. Take your time and enjoy.
Chapter 8- Out with the Boys
" Leon, you're up", Chris said after taking a shot at the number 5 ball. Leon nodded and proceeded to take his shot.
" Chris, I can feel an extra 50 dollars in my pocket right now." Carlos said to Chris while snickering at Leon. Chris grinned, knowing he and Carlos were about to get paid. Leon was wondering why in the hell he had made this bet in the first place.
After the gang got together and Sherry informed them of the Night Time Celebration, the girls decided to go to the beauty salon to get prepped up for tonight. Carlos, Leon, and Chris had decided to play some pool and Leon had bet them 50 dollars each he could beat them both. This is where they are now.
Leon positioned the billard stick between his hand and focused on the number 5 ball Chris had shot at earlier. If his plan worked correctly, the 5 ball would hit the 3 into the side pocket and the 8 ball into the corner pocket. That way he could win the game. Leon grinned.
" Watch me work, men. This is it." Chris let off a faint chuckle while Carlos took out his wallet and began to make space to accommodate his soon to be 50 dollars. Leon rolled his eyes at the two men and made his move.
The white ball made its way towards the number 3 ball and knocked it straight into the side pocket as Leon predicted. The trio watched closely as the white ball made its way towards the 8 ball. It made contact and was about to knock it into the corner pocket but instead the 8 ball stopped right in front of the pocket.
Carlos gave Chris a knowing look and Carlos stepped up to take his turn.He aimed the white ball to hit the 8 ball directly into the pocket. Leon's palms began to sweat.
" Too bad Leon. Sorry but I need the money to buy Becca something special." Carlos took his shot. The men watched close once again and in just 5 seconds Chris and Carlos were 50 dollars richer. Leon looked at the wallet in his hand.
" Damn."
Chris and Carlos gave him a simpathetic look before hold their hands out to receive their money.
" Pay up." They both said simultaneously. Leon reluctantly paid the men.
After rubbing Leon's defeat all in his face, Chris offered them some drinks. His treat. Leon and Carlos, being the type to take advantage of Chris' rarely shown "good" moods, happily accepted.
" To the bar we go." Leon said pointing out the door.
" To the bar." Chris agreed and left. Carlos followed the other two out as he counted up his money.
'At the Bar'
" Leon, I see you've survived your first shopping trip with my sister. Did you beg her to spare you another day?" Chris asked after taking a sip of beer. " I must say I'm amazed at how lucky you came out."
Leon thought back to earlier that day and smiled to himself. He came out a whole lot luckier than Chris may think. But he wouldn't let Chris know that.
" Nice to know you care Chris. I actually enjoyed going shopping with Claire. I'm looking forward to next time. So what are going to do for Jill tonight, hmm?" Leon gave Chris a suspicious look while going for his drink. Carlos butted in.
" Yeah, Mr. Suave, what do you have planned for Miss Valentine?" Carlos said in his worst sophisticated accent. The effects of just one drink were beginning to take a toll on him.
Chris contemplated on whether he should let the guys in on his little secret. He figured that they could keep a secret.
" Well tonight, I'm taking Jill to that bonfire at the beach. And at the end of this trip, like the last night or something I'm gonna propose to her on the beach." Chris stated calmly as if it wasn't a big deal.
Leon spit out his beer all over the bartender. He gave Leon a nasty look and wiped off his face. Carlos fell off of the stool he was sitting on and land flat on his ass with a thud. Chris looked back and forth between the two and sighed.
" You two are dumbasses, you know that?" Carlos regained some composure after the people stopped staring at him on the floor and he stood up and wiped himself off.
" You're gonna marry Jill, dude. It's curtains for you after that you know. You sure you're ready for that?" Leon shook his head in agreement.
" Yeah Chris, after you say those words there's no turning back. But we're with you all the way." Leon gave Chris a slap on the back. He knew that if anyone to was to get married to someone as great as Jill it was Chris.
Carlos chuckled causing Chris to look at him curiously. " What's so funny?" Carlos just smiled.
" You know before I met Rebecca, I had this mad crush on Jill, I mean crazy crush. And when she told me she was in love with you I was all jealous and shit. Then after all that stuff with Umbrella, the three of us became like best buds. I never thought I'd say this but I'm glad Jill picked you over me. You deserve her. Beside Rebecca is the one for me. It's funny how shit happens huh?"
Leon and Chris were surprised at how honest Carlos was about his emotions. Chris, however, was glad he had friends like Leon and Carlos to back him up.
" So I guess I can expect you guys to keep this a secret right?" Chris asked warily. Leon nodded.
" Of course man. You can count on us. Now let's get out her before I get drunk again. Okay?" Carlos pretended to look around for something.
" I don't see any stages around here Leon, so you're safe." Leon gave him the finger. Carlos reciprocated the gesture. Chris slapped both of the younger men across the head and lead them out of the bar.
Leon, Chris, and Carlos were presently making their way down the boulevard on their way to a jeweler. Chris was in search of an engagement ring. And the best place for that kind of stuff was probrably was the Strip.
" Chris, you're used to this dating thing, so where should I take Claire for a first date? I wanna do something original. Not too fancy but not too cheesy either." Leon looked to the eldest of the three to see what he would say.
" First off, you've got to go some place nice to ear. A nice semi formal place, I guess. Then take her somewhere. There's got to be someplace on this island where you can take her. Maybe a dance club or something. But whatever you do, don't let Claire get bored. She will find some way to be entertained and that's not necessarily always a good thing."
Chris looked to Leon to see if he understood everything. Leon looked as confused as a deer looking into a pair of headlights. So Chris decided to sum it all up.
" Just make sure you two have fun." Leon seemed to comprehend this.
Carlos spotted the jewelery store and let the other two know. They made their way inside.
While Chris was discussing engagement rings with a sales associate, Leon and Carlos were engaged in a staring contest.
Leon was straining with all his might to keep his eye on Carlos. Carlos, on the other hand, was making faces and making sounds attempting to distract Leon and make him lose. He loved competition and Leon was easy bait to win over. Leon eventually lost the war and blinked. Chris walked up to them.
" What the hell are you two doing?" Leon and Carlos became quiet like two little school age boys. Chris sighed. " Anyway, come look at this ring I got Jill."
They walked over to where Chris had left the ring. Chris smiled proud of himself for picking out such a great ring. Leon took a close look at it. It was an all diamond ring, with diamonds all around it except in the middle where there was a blue sapphire stone. Leon looked at Chris with a newfound respect.
" Jill's favorite color is blue." Chris said a bit embarrassed. Carlos gave Chris a good slap on the back.
" Well, Redfield, I guess you're gonna be the first to go. We're gonna miss you man." Carlos bowed his head as if he was saying goodbye. Chris rolled his eyes. " Screw you Carlos." Carlos shook his head.
" Sorry, the only person I screw is Rebecca." Carlos replied while dodging one of Chris' swings. Leon stepped in between the two.
" Come on Chris, pay for the rings so we can get the hell out of here" Leon said irritated with Carlos' gimmicks. Chris surrendered.
" Okay, I'm coming." He paid for the rings and the trio left to head back to the hotel.
When they arrived back at the hotel, it was 6:30. They had an hour and a half until the bonfire. Carlos, Chris, and Leon did their secret handshake before heading back to their separate rooms.
Leon opened the door only to find Sherry and Claire were gone. He looked to the window and took a peak outside. It was getting dark. Leon decided he should get ready. He looked at the bed and plopped down on it. He was about to catch a quick nap when a piece of paper caught his eye.
Leon,
Sherry and I are with Rebecca and Jill going sight seeing and doing "woman" stuff. I know you don't understand but I don't expect you to. We should be back by 6:30 or 7:00. Don't forget about the celebration tonight. Jill says she wants you guys to be ready by 7:30. See you when we get back.
Love, Claire
Leon looked back at his watch. 6:40. Claire and Sherry should be back any minute now. With nothing better to do, Leon turned on the t.v. There was a movie on Pay-Per-View that looked interesting. The Cable Guy. So while Jim Carrey's annoying Cable Guy voice blared from the t.v. Leon picked out his clothes and began to get ready for tonight.
Author's Note: Man, that one took me a while to do. I didn't have any ideas. But now I'm fresh again. How did you like that chapter? Chris plans to marry Jill, Leon's planning his first date with Claire, and Carlos is quite the joker isn't he. I hope that wasn't too boring. I love hearing from you people so please make my day and review. Chapter 9 will be up soon. Alrighty Then.
