Author's note Well I hope you're ready to start blushing. Since I'm not pulling any punches. As always I'm not Toby Fox, I don't own Undertale. Honestly, one of my favorite chapters I've written so far.
I can feel the heat of the sun on my skin. The gentle lapping of the ocean meeting the shore met my ears. The beach blanket under my bikini bottom. This is paradise.
"Do you enjoy the sunlight, beautiful?" A deep voice whispered to me. I hum in agreement too content to use words.
"I never I thought I'd see the surface much less see it with you." He runs a finger up my thigh. I look down to see no hand touching me.
"Are you a ghost, is that why I can't see you?" I ask out loud. It maybe a dream, but twice this mysterious voice shows and twice I couldn't see him.
"No, my angel I'm no ghost I just don't think you're ready to see me. "He says this in a way that has my heart beating faster than a drum solo.
"Now let me rub sunscreen on your back. "He picks up the bottle and with invisible hands squirts it his hands.
"lay on your stomach Frisk. "his was low I was starting to feel dizzy but still bold enough to speak up.
"How come you get to know my name and I don't know yours?" I ask flirtatiously. Though I can feel my resolve crumbling about not drowning in the fantasy.
"Because you will meet me soon enough babe, just be patient and relax. "He said this in my ear it almost sounded like a purr.
I silently obey though my toes unconsciously curl into the blanket. I was under his spell he starts covering my legs in sunscreen though any time he touched my thigh whether purposely or accidentally I don't know. All I know is how I felt, a spark rush through me. When he started to focus on my back I felt him position his body over mine. he was seated on my butt for a better angle but now I'm very aware how aroused I am and how close he is and I can feel myself losing myself to lusty haze.
"I promise not to dry hump you; unless you want me to. "He says with a confident voice. usually, hate this much overconfidence and bravado, but the voice made it work. or maybe it's because he is balancing it out with kindness and asking, not demanding that I give in to what he actually wants to do. He got to my shoulder blades rubbing my A\aches away and started peppering my neck in kisses between rubbing in and massaging my back. I sharply breathe though I can feel myself my breathing becoming faster. I'm lost in the fog of lust; I would give anything to make him keep going and to give me more.
I fall out of my bed I bruise my hand but pick myself off the floor. Okay, this time, I need a cold shower and a cold glass water. these dreams are getting ridiculous. I'm borderline soaked in my own sweat and feeling needy from this last dream! My heart is running a mile a minute and feels a yearning for the dream come back. for the mystery man to be my side and hold me in his arms. No, this is wrong these dreams aren't real; that man isn't real. These dreams need to stop! I wipe the drool off my face. next time I go to the pharmacy; I'm picking up some ZZzquil because these dreams are getting too real to be considered healthy. I need to find a real guy. I stop letting this fantasies take over my life. Now let me add like ten ice cubes to my glass of water; maybe some meditation in the morning will clear my mind.
There was a slight breeze coming through the opened window. The apartment was clean but airy. With a windowed balcony. A smattering of blue all over the furniture with soothing green to accent the walls. It had the feeling of a lived and loved home. Decorated personally with pictures of many people on the walls including the occupants of the apartment. It was a picturesque morning; the sun was shining brightly almost cheerfully in the sky. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the deep blue made anyone feel their heart a light to know such a beautiful day was only just beginning. There was a waft of freshly brewed coffee in the air and you could hear sizzling from the kitchen. You could hear the dulcet tones of the TV tuned into early morning news. On the bed laid Frisk half-awake still sleepy from her prior dream. She was flipping through her phone reading an article about the reopening of Mount Ebbot. It was closed down after that last person disappeared almost a year ago. It restarted the whispers and gossip about the mountain. Everyone in the tri-county knew the legend of Mount Ebbot. Those who climbed the mountain and make it to the Peak will disappear never to be seen again. It was something staunchly for the longest of time believed as six people had disappeared from the town who all decided to climb the mountain. But for over two hundred years no one had disappeared from the mountain. But the legend is so popular that the town turned it into an attraction with free Wi-Fi, souvenirs, and cable cars that can take you to the peak or you can take the marked trails and have a hike. I was only being looking at the article because near the base of the mountain there's a yoga studio I go to. The yoga studio that had to relocate because of the investigation on the last person who disappeared. The manhunt went on for months that poor man. He was a police officer who was checking on a report of a group of teenagers who were having supposedly having an orgy on the mountain. It might be an exaggeration If I had taken a shot at who would come up with such ridiculous explanation for a bunch of teens going to a mountain at night. It had to have been an elderly person who probably called it in. But still, he went to the mountain to investigate and never returned home. It breaks my heart for his family and friends. It kinda hits close to home to me because I did know him a bit. There aren't so many schools in this town. We were in different social circles; we were friendly for drama kid and football player . But we became close after he joined up my judo dojo and became my sparring partner. I miss Dylan , he could take a roundhouse kick like a pro . I hope he's not dead a guy like that doesn't deserve a fate like that for just doing his job.
KNOCK, knock the pounding on the door jolts me from my thoughts on the article.
"Come on Frisk you promised chad a second chance. Aiden won't go unless Chad has a date too! something about him getting mopey and jealous. when he's rejected on the first date." I can hear her yell through the door her voice has a tinge of sadness to it. I can't bail on her even If I really want to.
"Fine Stephanie! I can feel myself internally screaming as the words come out of my mouth. You're my best friend but this is the last time I do this! Chad is weird and handsy. I know you like Aiden but next time get Angie and the group to go with you, next time. You know her standards; she'll date anyone if means she can get them on the show." Better to pass the douche nozzle to our mutually kind-hearted friend. Who loves guys she can fix and change. Angie loves a project and always come out with decent enough results. it's what happen when you chose a career where you are known by the title the life guru. Every guy she's changes become the hottie of the year or she ensures will be. Most of the tri-county watches her show to see who's the latest guy who needs fixing.
"Yay! Thanks, Frisk I love you! I'll make this up to you I promise." She says through the door. Time to get ready for another hellish double date. Two hours of Stephanie primping and changing ten times deciding on flirty but a very classy outfit. Since it was almost summer weather. She was wearing navy capris with the rose design around the pockets. For a shirt, she was wearing a pink floral print blouse with a boat neck collar. With slight makeup and her strawberry blonde hair down in curls. She knew she'd blow Aiden's mind today.
We meet with Aiden and Chad at the parking lot of Bertrand park near the movie theater. Stephanie looks up and runs to Aiden and he picks her up and spins her like they do in cheesy romantic comedies. You're so lucky you're like a sister to me. I took a moment to really look at Aiden he was all Stephanie's but it's never a bad idea to check out your friend's guy just in case. so you don't end up dating a guy that looks just like him and then your friend accuses you of being jealous. He was a tall guy at 6'6 strong guy flowing jet black. The kind of hair women loves the run their fingers through. He was the kind of guy that women always swoon over in magazines or YouTube videos. he was a dream guy he had the personality, the looks, steady job, and attentive. I couldn't be mad at Stephanie for being already head over heels for him in her place I would be too. I'm so glad she's found, someone. Though I wish the same was happening to me, but dreams aren't reality.
I can see Chad in a little bit away a lecherous grin spreading on his face. I wonder If I have enough time to make myself seem sick and call up Angie? I see him walking towards me. Great, he's walking over here there's no time to make it convincing enough. For a moment I really look at Chad before I open my mouth he was the ending at about 5'10 maybe little overweight literally hunched as he stands up weak chin, almost balding blonde hair, his teeth were crooked, his nose was overly big and his eyes were kind of wide apart giving off a dopey look. he was just so dumpy looking and very shifty like at any moment, a police officer was going to stop by and ask him If he were selling drugs. He didn't even try to look his best. Does he even care about my impression of him? his clothes are borderline rags covered in stains and holes. She usually doesn't judge people on their clothes, heaven knows how badly dressed she could be but If it's a date at least try to look nice. Twice in a row he's dressed like this so this might be his entire wardrobe.
"Hey, Chad thanks for meeting us all here." I try to put on the cheerful and happy face. Stephanie looked over and knew I was faking it. Sorry, she whispered to me.
"Nothing like a hike for a second double date am I right?" He said like he had the most brilliant idea ever. Buffoon.
"Yeah I guess but aren't we going to the movies?" Trying to ask kindly and politely as possible while inside I'm freaking out. Do you honestly want to see me destroy my nice outfit? You already on thin ice buddy! I paid good money for this outfit! While I maybe dressed nicely in my skinny jeans and this long-sleeved shirt. where the neckline was wrapped around my shoulders showing just a hint of cleavage. But I wasn't dressed that way for him on the last date. If there's one thing Stephanie was is very detail oriented after the mishandling of the last date. even though she knew she sticking me with a chubby loser. she knew to dig up all the information she can on him. What Stephanie found didn't make him sound any better than when she first con me into this. his two ex-girlfriends had to move away because of their break up and there is a girl who has a restraining order because she kept finding Chad in her bushes. He can't hold down a job to save his life. He only made rent from whatever he can collect unemployment. Top off the loser cake that he was already, He was also high school dropout. Let's just say I was prepared to have a boring night and avoiding his advances. As I was avoiding him, I picked up more numbers than I knew what to do with. Even If he tried to pull me into a dark dank corner years of training should kick in before he could even try talking me into it. Like he ever could be a threat to me!
Days like this I rather reminisce about my life than think about what's to come. thinking of the past all I want to do is thank my parents for letting me go after all my dreams. That include dancing and singing/music classes, modeling, acting, comedy training, creative and script writing and finally martial arts training. I wanted to be a star. at the moment I've had many of scripts and books printed and I've been on a few commercials and I've been a stuntwoman on a few movies and shows. In the end, I want my big break but I can wait for it. patience and determination are the key to everlasting stardom my mom once said.
After all, that training Chad should be no problem considering I am an expert capoeira, I know taekwondo, and I am a master of Judo. If Stephanie hadn't been my friend since I was four years old, I wouldn't put up with this bs.
"Well, I kind of want us to bond before the movie since it's three hours away. we can take the trail to the top of mount Ebbot. He said trying to seem sweet but giving off an aura of nefarious intentions. I t was when I noticed Aiden had both a backpack and picnic basket with him as we were walking up the trail with Chad saying screw it he'll take the cable car to halfway up the mountain Aiden explained that Chad was having money issues and to not make him feel out of place. we're going to a matinee nearby and a hike and picnic make up for that time in between. I swear Aiden is a more patient person than me to put up with Chad so long. Still, the hike wasn't so bad especially when we went out to see our quaint sweet little town. on the horizon, I could see the coastline of the beach.
"Okay, time to set up the picnic. "
"I wonder where Chad is? he should have beat us up here since he took the cable car up here."
"Stephanie I had forgotten about him being on his way here" I made tone joking for Aiden's sake. I gave her a dirty look she knew I was pretending to forget I'm on a date with the guy.
Ten minutes of waiting and he meanders over. Looking cocky and so full of himself. I can't even understand why; he looks worse than when he went to the to the cable car. He looked like spilled a drink on himself. Oh god, get me out here!
"Hey, guys any grub for me?" Chad says he's still walking with a confident swagger though it seemed clumsy wavering as he walked. he honestly couldn't pull off. Did he get wasted on the way here! If he is, Stephanie owes me a spa day. Him sober is too much, him wasted I only do this for you, Stephanie!
"Yeah, there more than enough food, Chad have a seat next to Frisk. so we can get started on the picnic." Aiden helps him sober up to hand him a thermos of coffee some bread anything! Thank god this the last time I have to deal with him again.
On the blanket, Chad sit way too close to me almost on top of me! Putting a hand on my thigh giving me another Lecherous smile.
"Chad! Personal space! Don't touch me!" I harshly half whispered to him
"Come on babe you know you can feel the electricity between us," he said speaking in a normal voice he had to look like he honestly believed that's what was going on slowly raising his hand higher up my thigh. I stand up I can take this another my time with this slug!
"Ok that's it! all I feel for you; is disgust, and I want to leave!" I may be an actress, but I could put up with the charade so long and grope my body after I made it clear I don't like it. Disregarding my personal space that's my limit!
"I'm so sorry Stephanie. I can't do this anymore! There is only so much I can put up with so much in silence, But I'm going home! Aiden, I'm so sorry for this picnic was awesome." I tried to storm off to the direction of the cable cars going down the mountain. Before I get to where I know the cable cars are, I can hear a figure trying to run up behind me. I compare the running to elephant footsteps because every step made an audible thud. I don't want to look back because I got a bad feeling on who it is behind me. they're getting closer and almost feel there right behind me. I turn back to see Chad! Who tried to grab me and push me against one of the cliff sides of the mountain.
"What I'm not as good as the whining bitch of an ex?" He slurred his words god when is he sober?
I punched him in the solar plexus. As I walked away, he pushed me the ground. I was about to stand up and rush to cable cars. I was not about to be charged with assault and battery by this moron who's harassing and groping me. Though something is happening around me. The ground started to crumble away to nothing and I fell into a hole that suddenly appeared on the mountain.
Final note Yeah I left it on a cliffhanger. No tears, since the next chapter is on its way, so hold on tight. This story is a bit of a bumpy ride.
