Chapter 6: The Phone Call of Worry
After finding out about Matthew's deadly trap, Lola decided to make things run her way, whether she was queen or not. A few minutes after her sickness, she walked into the throne room entrance and stopped when she was behind the entrance wall so she could listen.
"Okay, gentlemen." Matthew started. "There's only 2 weeks until the wedding. Shall we make plans ahead of time?"
"We shall." One of the wedding planners replied in a nasal congested voice. "First, how are we gonna end the wedding?"
"We end the wedding sinister. When Lola puts this marvelous ring on…" Matthew held up a pure emerald gemstone ring as he continued. "…she'll get weak and poisoned. Then, when she's phased by the ring, these claws will slice her up so bad, her body would be nothing but separate slices of her body, dripping intensely with blood."
The wedding planners chuckled devilishly at this reply. When Lola heard it, she started feeling sick again, but held it in this time as the meeting continued.
"Then, after her death, I'll place her in my secret sliced women stash in my bedroom and let the rats finish the rest. Sound like a plan?"
"Indeed. We start the wedding in 2 weeks time. Meeting dismissed." The leader of the wedding planners announced. As they were leaving, Lola ran back upstairs to Matthew's bedroom in fear and plopped herself on her back on the bed, crying to herself.
"What am I gonna do?" She asked herself. She was in intense panic as she decided to call Dragon X so they could save her. When she had her hand on the receiver of the antique phone, Matthew arrived in the doorway and grew furious, but kept his cool.
"I'd leave that phone alone if I were you." He warned in his normal voice in a calm manner. This made Lola slowly remove her hand from the phone and just sit there with Yarnello sitting by her feet. "Planning to call someone in particular?"
"Uh… um…" Lola studdered, but couldn't comply. Matthew was getting impatient.
"Who… are… you… calling, Lola?"
Lola felt ashamed as she lowered her head before she spoke.
"Dragon X." She replied sadly.
"That's a good girl. I don't want you calling anybody I've met before that'll save you. You'll be in good hands, so there's really no need for you to call anybody whatsoever. I'm going to pick up lunch. I better not receive word from Yarnello about you making that phone call. Understand?" Matthew continued.
"Yeah."
"Good. I'll be back." After that, he left for the town square of Terrishaw. When he closed the door, Lola slowly sat back against a pillow and started crying immensely into another pillow she happened to hold right into her face. Yarnello really felt bad about her and he hopped up on the bed and walked up to her.
"Are you okay?" He asked sadly, holding back his tears.
"I'm scared, Yarnello. I'm scared." Lola replied between sobs. "It's a good thing you told me about this. Otherwise, I've could've been dead by the next 2 weeks. I owe you one."
"No big. I just needed to warn you before it actually happens at the last minute."
"I really wanna call them and tell them about this situation, but since you're supervising me…"
"You can."
"Huh?"
"I wanna get out of this son of a bitch planet! It's too cruel!"
"So, you wanna escape with me?"
"Yeah… no. Let me rephrase. Hell, yeah!"
"Oh! Good. I'm sure Bugs wouldn't mind me keeping you."
"Go ahead. Call Dragon X. I'll watch for Matthew when he comes."
"Thanks." As she said this, Yarnello jumped off the bed and ran to the bedroom door while she reached over to the phone and picked it up. Luckily, she knew how to use one of these antique phones and she dialed Wile E.'s number first. After 2 rings, the line picked up.
"Wile E., it's Lola." She started.
"Lola! You're alright. You are alright, are you?" Wile E. exclaimed.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Can I talk to Bugs first?"
"You should. He really misses you so very much."
"Is he okay?"
"Actually, he's fasting for you."
"Fasting?"
"Yeah. He's refusing to eat, but now he is cleaning himself at least."
"Oh, no! Put Bugs on the line now!"
The other line was silent for a moment. Then, after 20 seconds, the line picked up again.
"Bugs?" Lola asked.
"Lola?" Bugs asked back. "Is dat really you, baby?"
"Yeah. I'm okay, Bugsy."
"Dat's good. Are ya queen yet?"
"I'll never be queen."
"What?"
"It's a trap."
"A trap?"
"Yeah. When the wedding comes around, that's my death sentence right there. He actually kills the women that fell for it and I'm about to be next if Dragon X doesn't save me in time."
"Oh, my God! You're kiddin'!"
"Nope."
"Ah, boy. Ya betta call Dragon X right away and tell dem. Deir number is 5261347682."
"Thanks. I'm just wondering. How come you're fasting from food all because of me?"
"I'm lost and devistated witout ya, Lo. Dat's why."
"Oh."
"I really don't want ya to die. Please hope dat Dragon X will save ya."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love ya, too, Lo."
"And do me a favor: please eat something. You don't have to starve youself because of me."
"I will. Bye."
She clicked off the receiver and looked up at Yarnello. He turned around towards her and held a thumbs up, telling her that she was still clear. She nodded in response as she dialed the second number, which was Dragon X's number. After 5 rings, the line picked up.
"Hey, Lola." Neon greeted. Lola was shocked.
"How did you know it was me?" She asked.
"There's no other planet out here with you in it, is there?"
"I'm in grave danger right now."
"Why?"
"Matthew's 'queen-less' rumor is a lie."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah. It's actuallly a trap. When the wedding comes around, I'll be dead faster than Speedy Gonzales could run. You gotta come and save me… FAST!"
"We're on our way! Hang in there! When does the wedding start?"
"2 weeks from now."
"It looks like we won't get there until about next week."
"Why?"
"We're in an asteroid belt right now. It's gonna take some time because I gotta take my time so I won't destroy the ship by accident."
"Please hurry, though."
"Lola, he's coming back!" Yarnello called from the doorway. Lola nodded in response as she heard this.
"I hope you'll get here by next week, at least. Good luck." After that, she made a kissing sound on the receiver before she hung up and quickly acted natural by the time Yarnello hopped back up on the bed and Matthew came in with plastic bags full of chinese food.
"Did she call anybody while I was gone?" He asked.
"No, sir." Yarnello lied innocently without making Matthew suspicious.
"Good. Here's our lunch. Pure chinese cusine. Dig in." He walked up to the bed and placed the bag on it before he left to get utensils. Lola sighed with relief while she wiped a piece of sweat from her forehead.
"Thanks. I really owe you one…" She started, showing a seductive look on her face. Yarnello looked at her. He didn't notice her sexy smile as he blushed.
"Ah, shucks." He started. "I told you I could keep your phone call secret. I would never…" He paused as he finally noticed Lola's seductive smile. "Uh… why are you looking at me like that? You just said that you owe me one."
"Yeah… I know." She had a sexy drawl in her voice as she started crawling towards the kyrii sexually. "I owe you one kiss."
Yarnello couldn't say a word. He just swollowed hard as he slowly backed up. He nearly fell when he approached the edge of the bed. He just sat down, still backing up a little. Lola giggled as she pinned him down by his arms.
"Looks like you haven't been kiss by a girl before." She guessed as she stroked under his chin.
"Y… yeah. I… uh… haven't been… kissed… uh… yet." Yarnello studdered nervously.
"Then, I guess this'll be your first, huh?"
"Probably my last, too."
Lola chucked seductively as she finally leaned closer towards his face before she passionately kissed him on the mouth. Yarnello's eyes grew wide as he felt her tongue go inside his mouth. He moaned with passion as he felt this and slid his hands up on her arms softly. His moaning made her moan deeply. Pretty soon, she picked him up, still kissing him while holding him in her arms. When they heard Matthew coming back, they slowly stopped the kiss and looked each other's eyes.
"Goddamn." Yarnello swore under his breath. "No wonder Bugs loves you."
"And they get better and better every time, baby." Lola agreed as she gently placed Yarnello back on the bed just in time for Matthew to come in.
"It took you that long to get some forks?" Yarnello asked.
"The chefs were busy. I had to squeeze myself through them." Matthew replied. "Well, lunch is served."
"I sure hope Bugs is eating and I really hope that Dragon X will rescue me." Lola said to herself as she started eating.
