Shelly's World
Chapter 4: Wine with Sugar
...Shelly gasped with her hand over her mouth.
She saw Cliff with nothing on but his boxers. Shelly blushed a deep red, while Cliff just stood there embarrassed as ever. "Damn, he's wicked cute with all of his clothes on, but with almost nothing on... RAWR!" she thought.
"Look, Cliff, I-I'm really sorry, I d-didn't mean to-" Shelly started.
"No....It's okay, I-I forgot to lock the door and....I..." Cliff stuttered. The two just stood there, saying nothing.
"Well, um... I'll just leave now, I-I guess," Shelly said. She stared at Cliff's almost naked body as she slowly walked out the door and ran down the stairs. But, being the ditz she was, she tripped on the last step and fell flat on her face. Ann immediately rushed over to her hurt friend.
"Shelly, are you alright?" She asked in a concerned tone of voice.
"Yeah... I'm fine," Shelly said, "but you won't believe what just happened."
"Details, woman!" Ann shrieked, tugging onto the sleeve of Shelly's shirt.
"Well," Shelly said, sitting down in a chair, "I was walking upstairs after you-know-what, then I stupidly opened the door without knocking. And...my oh my, you don't want to know what I saw."
"What?" Ann almost screamed. "WHAT HAPPENED?"
"There was Cliff.... He was standing there with nothing on but his boxers! He... was... so... fine!" Shelly squealed. Ann's eyes bulged and she squealed as well.
"Oh my gosh, you are so lucky! Cliff is just the hottest guy ever, and.... Oh," Ann sighed. "I just love him."
"Yeah," Shelly said, calming down, "he is so hot." The two girls continued to swoon about the clueless Cliff, until they both heard a door open. A boy about Shelly's age walked in. He had tan skin and large black eyes, and he wore a purple bandanna with a purple and brown outfit. Shelly thought that her eyes and literally turned into hearts.
"Ooh, who's that hottie?" Shelly said, giggling.
"That's Kai, the ladies man," Ann pointed out. "All the girls are in love with him and Cliff.... Gee, Shelly, you have good taste in men! I like you!" She giggled a bit too as she eyed Kai coming their direction.
"He's coming, he's coming!" Ann whispered with her teeth clenched, nudging Shelly in the ribs. Shelly grinned idiotically as Kai sat down at the table.
"Hello, ladies," Kai said mysteriously. Shelly continued to grin while Ann blushed a deep red.
"H-hi..." Shelly managed to get out. She waved sheepishly at him.
"I see we have a visitor... how are you doing this fine day?" He asked Shelly.
"Yeah... um, I'm doing... great, heh... yeah," Shelly muttered. She looked down at her shoes.
"A little shy, are we? Don't worry, I'll make you comfortable here," Kai replied, edging closer to Shelly as he massaged both of her shoulders. Shelly felt as if she were in heaven.
"Want me to get you lovely gals some wine?" Kai asked.
"Extra sugar, please," Ann blurted out.
"Okay, two wines, one with extra sugar, comin' right up!" he said as he got out of his seat and walked up to Doug.
"Extra sugar, please? What was I thinking?" Ann whispered.
"I don't know, but I was acting like a total idiot! I can't believe I clamed up like that!" Shelly whispered back. She looked to see if Kai was coming back, and, to her surprise, he was. He held both wineglasses in each hand, then, when he came over to the table, he placed them in front of the girls. Shelly slowly picked hers up, making sure not to spill, because she was shaking so much. She noticed Ann was gulping hers down by the second.
"I see you're enjoying yours, eh Ann?" Kai exclaimed, grinning.
"Wee... yeah," Ann, said, drunk as day. Shelly gave her the what-alien-took-over-you look. Kai laughed.
"Don't worry, Ann gets that way when she drinks wine with sugar. I should know, I've offered her wine with sugar before," he said.
"Well, if that's the case... could I have a little sugar in mine?" Shelly asked.
"Anything for you girls," Kai replied. He got up again.
"Hey, Kai! Can you get another one? I want this one for Cli-" Ann started.
"Shut up!" Shelly yelped, slapping her hand over Ann's mouth. Unfortunately for her, Kai overheard.
"Crushing on Cliff, are we? Don't worry, I'll give "Lover Boy" some wine, special delivery from Ann!" he hollered back. A few moments later, he came back with three wines, one for Shelly, one for himself, and one for "Lover Boy". He placed two of the wineglasses in front of Shelly, then he started upstairs to give the last glass to Cliff.
"Make sure Ann doesn't get a hold of my glass, I intend on having some wine tonight too!" Kai said, winking at Shelly. Shelly smiled back as she nodded her head. She took a large sip of her wine. Suddenly, she began to feel woozy in the head. She saw Cliff right in front of her face.
"I love you, Cliff," she said to him. She grabbed a hold of him and began making out with him as well...
~*~*~
Shelly opened her eyes. She wasn't in the Inn anymore. But... where exactly was she? She saw a girl with short brown hair in front of her, along with Ann next to her.
"Shelly? Are you with us?" the brunette said. She softly touched Shelly's shoulder as Shelly winced. The girl quickly moved her arm away.
"W-where... where am I?" Shelly whispered faintly.
"You're in the hospital. You passed out after you drank that wine," Ann replied.
"Well, then, how come you didn't pass out?" Shelly meekly said.
"I'm used to drinking wine. By the way you passed out like that, it seems like you've never even tasted wine before."
"I have too, it's just that I've never tried it with sugar before... Anyway, how did I get here?"
"Kai brought you over here. He was there with Cliff... and... um, I probably shouldn't tell you the rest..." Ann's voice trailed off.
"Please, tell me, Ann, I need to know."
"Well, um... you started saying, 'I love you, Cliff' and everything, then the next thing they knew, you were licking away at the table." Ann said, trying not to laugh. Shelly gasped with horror.
"Stop laughing! It's not funny! I said that... in front of Cliff?" Shelly said, her voice trembling.
"Yes... I'm afraid you did," Ann said, simmering down.
"Oh man..." Shelly said, moaning. She dropped her head back on the pillow. Her life was screwed. Her crush now knew that she liked him, and her friend was now laughing at her while she lay delirious in the hospital...
Well, one thing was for sure: she never wanted to see another glass of wine with sugar again in her life.
