I could have placed them in London, but the area they are currently in
(which is Norfolk) is an area I know like the back of my hand. London is a
massive place (and one of the most expensive places in Britain!). I know
it's wrong for boys to be violent to girls, even Angelica, but in Chuckie's
situation he isn't just gonna let her walk all over him. He's got to do
something to turn her away. As for Phil's little bet, well, I guess the
others (apart from Lil) took him up on it as they would like to see that
smile wiped off his face...and hit him where it really hurts (in the
wallet!).

Chapter 8: An evening with the one I love. Part 2
Chuckie and Angelica both looked around to find the person who said "Bloody Yanks". There were a number of people looking at them, most a little surprised at their antics.
"I hate Yanks."
They looked to see a man around his mid 40s or 50s.
"Leave them alone dad. They haven't done anything wrong." A young girl said. She seemed to be in her late teens or possibly early 20s.
Angelica was rather upset by his statement and was seriously considering teaching him a lesson or two. She was about to get up when Chuckie grabbed her arm.
"Leave it Angelica. We came here for dinner, not a fight." He tried to persuade her.
"But..."
"Angelica, please. Leave it be. Let's just finish our meal and then we can continue our date." He said to her.
Angelica sighed deeply.
"Alright." She knew Chuckie was right. THAT was one thing she hated, knowing that he was right and she was wrong. But, it was something she would have to get use to if they were going to have a successful relationship.
Chuckie frowned at the man. He was just as frustrated as Angelica was, but he knew causing a scene would not go down well and they would end up getting kicked out, subsequently ruining their date. He wanted Angelica to have a good time, but he knew she might have been a little distracted with what had just happened.
****
An hour had passed and the couple were on their way to the next destination. Angelica was enthusiastic.
"Come on Finster! Where are you whisking me off to now?" She asked for the hundredth time.
"You'll see." Chuckie replied to the hundredth time.
"Aw, come on! Tell me!" She said sounding desperate.
"Wait and see."
"If you tell me, I'll get all sexy on you." She said in a seductive voice.
Chuckie moaned. He was able to keep his concentration on the road but he was so close to stopping the car to take Angelica up on her offer. She laughed.
"I see that I know how to turn you on. Would you like to...make out?" Her voice was even more seductive than before.
"Oh God! Angelica please, I'm driving." Chuckie pleaded. He never thought he would turn down an offer of pure love and passion in his life.
"Oh okay, you big baby." Angelica said, unable to stop grinning.
****
Phil and Kimi sat at a table.
"I bet that I can down my Budweiser faster than you can down yours." She said.
"You think you can beat me? 'Phil The Alcohol King?'" He asked.
"Yeah. You'll be 'Phil The Alcohol Jester' when I'm finished with you."
"Hey Tommy?" Phil asked. Tommy was sitting at the table next over.
"Yeah Phil?" Tommy asked back.
"Get us some more Bud. Kimi's made a challenge I cannot refuse."
"How many?"
"Get us another ten bottles." Phil said, eyeing Kimi. "You think you can down six bottles faster than me Finster?"
"I can and I will, DeVille!" Kimi replied pointing a finger at her rival.
"You know guys; I don't think you should drink so much." Lil said to them.
"Why shouldn't they Lil?" Dil asked.
Lil looked at Tommy's younger brother.
"Because Budweiser is stronger over here than it is back home. They will get pissed easily." Lil explained.
"Yeah, but it'll be fun to watch them try and down six bottles of the stuff in the shortest time." Susie said.
"You got that!" Dil replied.
Tommy came over with four bottles.
"Dil, would get some of the others?" He asked.
"Sure." Dil went and picked up another four bottles while Tommy got the last two.
They placed five bottles on either side as Tommy assumed the role of Referee.
"Remember, no cheating. No trying to kick the other or stop the other from drinking. I want a nice clean battle and the winner shall be proclaimed 'The Alcohol King or Queen' while the other will have to pay me for the drinks as I bought them." Tommy explained.
Phil and Kimi both nodded.
"Place a hand on the bottle neck of your first bottle...Ready...Set...GO!" Tommy shouted.
Phil and Kimi immediately put the bottle to their mouths and began to drink. The sound of them gulping down the booze caused quite a few people to watch them.
"Go on Phil!" Dil encouraged Phil.
"No way! Go Kimi!" Susie encouraged Kimi.
Lil refused to watch them get drunk and went to the bar to order herself a drink.
"Are they always like that?" The bartender asked.
"Yeah. They always compete with each other. Can I have Coke with ice and lemon?"
"Sure."
The sound of a pleasing sigh filled the room as Phil finished downing his second bottle.
"Here you are. That will be £2 please." The bartender said, handing Lil the pint of Coke.
Lil gave him the money and sat down. She sighed and wondered why she had to have Phil as her twin.
****
"Are we nearly there?" Angelica asked.
"Nearly. You'll like where I'm taking you." Chuckie said confidently.
Angelica smiled at him sweetly.
"I can't wait."
'God I can't wait! I know he's taking me to the coast but...for what reason? Is he gonna get all romantic on me? Whatever the reason, he's done enough to have me by my standards.' She thought to herself.
Around a quarter of an hour later, Chuckie had parked the car and they were walking, hand in hand, to where Chuckie was taking her.
"I'm excited Chuck."
"So you've told me." Chuckie replied. He admitted that he was getting a little tired of hearing Angelica go on about how excited she was, but was able to cope with it. He looked at his watch and pressed the night lighter button on it. It read 11.25pm.
'It starts in five minutes. Hopefully we will be there.' He thought.
****
The groaning from Phil and Kimi was loud. They had each downed five bottles of Budweiser and were struggling on the sixth.
"Come on Phil!"
"You can beat him Kimi!"
Phil felt like he was about to throw up.
'Must drink...can't let...Kimi beat me.' He thought to himself.
Kimi slowly drank. She felt so sick.
'Only...half a bottle...to go.' She thought to herself.
People were shouting encouragement.
"C'mon guys! One of you has to win." Tommy said.
Phil drank and drank while Kimi gulped her drink as fast as she could. They were neck and neck.
"YAY!" The bar erupted as one of them finished.
"I hereby pronounce..."
****
"Will you finally tell me?" Angelica asked as the couple came to a stop.
"Yeah. I decided to take you here as I wanted you to watch the fireworks display...and to have a romantic walk along the beach with you." Chuckie told her.
Angelica raised an eyebrow.
"A romantic walk? With me? Wow Chuckie...how romantic?" She asked excitedly.
"Uh..." Chuckie didn't know how to respond to that.
"How romantic Chuckie?" She asked again.
"Depends what you...mean by romantic." Chuckie managed to say.
Angelica smirked.
"I guess I'll find out how romantic you mean." Angelica said.
Chuckie was about to reply when a loud bang made him jump. He turned to see that the fireworks display has started.
"Why are they holding this thing so late?" Angelica shouted to him.
"It's the start of Carnival Week. I read in the guide that they always start the day before with a fireworks display at night." Chuckie shouted back.
"Right." Angelica replied as more fireworks were launched.
****
It was about 12.30am and Chuckie and Angelica were walking along the beach. It was dark and the tide was out. The sound of the lashing waves filled the night sky.
They had been walking at a slow pace for twenty minutes and had been talking about a variety of things ranging from school, other vacations, their friends and so on.
"You enjoyed yourself?" Chuckie asked.
"Most definitely. Thanks for asking me out." Angelica replied.
"Hey, no problem." Chuckie said, smiling at her.
"Aww, what a cute look." Angelica said, pinching his cheek.
"Well I don't brag about what a hit I am with the ladies." Chuckie said.
"HA! You a hit with the ladies? Pull the other one Finster! Besides..." She trailed off purposely.
"Besides what?" Chuckie asked.
"Besides, I want you all for myself. No way am I gonna let you be the ladies man!" She said with a devilishly cute smile on her face.
She placed her hands on his shoulders and kissed him full on the lips. Chuckie put his arms around her as he kissed her back. It was something they had wanted to do and now they could. Angelica had never felt so happy and she knew that there was no turning back on this now. She was destined to become the newest addition to the Finster family and that did not scare her one bit.
****
Well there we have it. Chuckie and Angelica are together.
I couldn't help but leave the cliff-hanger over Phil and Kimi. HA! I bet you all hate for that, but you will find out what happens in the next chapter, which incidentally will also be the last chapter of my story. Keep up the R&R and thanks for reading.
