The Bet

Chapter 5: It all goes horribly wrong

Link pulled up in front of a very posh restaurant called The Vinery, and he went to Malon's door to open it for her, He was completely astounded at how beautiful she was.

"God she's beautiful, I feel like I really need her, I want her to be mine, I cant believe I am using her this way. That's it, as soon as we get in, I will call Mido and tell him that the bets off"

Link went to the front desk and the waiter sat them at their table by the window, they had a gorgeous view of the beach, and Link decided that after they ordered starters, he would go to the pay phone by the men's room, to talk to Mido, he couldn't leave it a moment longer.
So, Malon and Link ordered their starters, (Malon had Chicken soup, and Link decided to have that too) Link made his excuses

"Malon, I'll be right back, I need the bathroom" Link told her.

"Sure, just don't leave me here alone too long!" Malon told him, smiling.

"I won't" he added nervously

Link made his way towards the pay phone, and put in the money he needed, he dialed Mido's number.

"Briiiinnnnnnngggg, Briiiiinnnnnggggg, Um...Hello?" Mido answered on the other line.

"Hey man, its me."

"Link hey, what ya up too?"

"I'm on a date... with Malon", Link added with care,

"Malon, so how's the bet goin?" Mido asked with ease.

Back at the table, Malon heard a vibrating noise, looking over she realised, it was Link's Mobile. So she figured,

"what the hell, I will just take it to him, and wait outside the mens room for him"

So not knowing what awaited her, she walked toward the mens room...

"The bets not happening anymore" Link added

"Hey man, what do ya mean, you cant call it off! You called the terms!"

"I know..." Link added, feeling the guilt, "But I don't want to anymore"

"You made the deal, you have to see it through, all the way, don't be a chicken shit, you made the terms!" Mido told him with an undeniable force.

"I know, I made the bet, to sleep with Malon, make her my girlfriend, and oh yeah! Make her prom queen!" Link reminded his friend

He turned round from facing the phone booth so he could lean against the wall, he will never forget what he saw.

"Malon? How long have you been there?" He asked, the worry building up

But by looking at her face, he could tell she knew. Everything. He could see the tears well up in her eyes, the look of pain on her face. And Link felt heartbroken, he felt it stab at him like a rusty, unforgiving knife.

Speaking through the impending tears, Malon answered, "Since, 'The bets not happening'"

Link was about to speak, about to plead his case, to make her see, to make her forgive him, when to his horror, she turned, and ran out to the main restaurant.

"Malon wait!" He shouted, chasing after her, causing all the eaters in the Vinery to look at the pair, The pretty girl in tears, and the man pleading with her.

Malon turned to face him, she never felt so humiliated, so heartbroken, in her life. She felt so angry, yet so in pain.

"NO!" She shouted at him, fighting through the tears which were now streaming down her face, "No! Link, I don't want to hear what you have to say!" This caused her to have more tears, this was when she turned and rain outside, it was now pouring with rain, but she didn't care, and she ran, ran away, ran home...

Link saw her run, but stood paralysed for a moment, this was when her truly realised,

"I love her, WHY THE HELL AM I STANDING HERE!"

So he got in his car, and drove, drove to find her...
