Me: ...and then I said "Your body is straight banging!"
It's nighttime. I just stand there in an alleyway, intoxicated and slouching from drinking out of a 40 oz bottle of booze. That stuff is strong and has high percentage of alcohol. I'm not alone, though. There are 2 random homeless guys with me, laughing with me after saying my drunk sentence. All of us, standing around a metal barrel of fire. I told them some details about how I ended up here and they gave me advice on what should I do next. Then I said goodbye and my drunk body is making me walk further into this alleyway, but I can barely walk. Then I uttered out another drunk line...
Me: Booze is my favorite food.
I walked the alleyway for 5 minutes until I found the other side. However, my body couldn't walk another step as I collapsed at a corner of a building and I pass out, sleeping off the intoxication. The area is all clear with no pedestrians or moving cars and all windows show no lights on. I just lay there and sleep out at night in the cold.
Meanwhile, the pursuing girls have finally met altogether. The ladies have decided to make camp at some hiking trail they found, they found enough space for all of them to be sitting, around the campfire, even Philip, being held in Kyanna's arms, cooing at her and giggling. Plus, 3 of the girl's cars are parked near them. That's all 7 girls together... with a baby. Right now, the girls are discussing their differences and telling each other why are they are all after me.
Tiffany: Oh my god. You too, Ms. Yumi?
Aiko: Yes, Tiffany. That's the reason why I'm here right now with you all.
Kyanna: You too, Beli?
Beli: Mhm. (she nodded sadly)
They even discussed all the details of their time with me, including their times in bed with me. It makes a few of them love me less and steamed at me more, some are or still unsure about me, and some still love me regardless. With that debate, they still agree to find me. However, some still protest that some of these girls will hurt me or some want to protect me when they find me. Some girls just want to do nothing but help find them find me and when they do, they just stand there and watch how my fate will be when all these ladies found me before they decide what to do.
It's now time to sleep. Some of the girls brought sleeping bags with them, some just brought blankets; Audrey and Nikki did not. All Nikki has is her sweater and Audrey has her jacket in her car. So the least they can do is sleep in the car with long sleeves. Nikki though, she decided not to sleep with ostentatious Audrey again and for sure, she is not spending another night at a motel with her. So she asks Tiffany if it's okay to sleep in Kyanna's Beetle. Then Tiffany asks Kyanna.
Tiffany: Hey, Kyanna? Is it okay for my friend, Nikki, to sleep in your car?
Kyanna: Absolutely. Any friend of Tiffany's is a friend of mine, except... you know. (She points at Audrey without her knowing)
Tiffany: (chuckles at Kyanna's statement)
Nikki: Wow, thanks.
Kyanna was more than happy to give people like Nikki some room. Kyanna is one of the coolest girls anyone has ever encountered, even I know that.
Nikki: I don't think we met before, did we?
Kyanna: No, I don't think so. I'm Tiffany's friend, Kyanna. I see you two know each other.
Tiffany: Yeah, we met from the Nutmeg Cafe. She looked sad and I asked her "What's the matter?"
Nikki: Yeah, I told her and she really relates to me, she has days like me, like I'm too shy to talk to people. She was helping me become outgoing, which is okay so far and we hang out once at the Corkscrew Carnival. My favorite part is when we went to the arcade there.
Tiffany: Nikki learned that it's not her job at the cafe that's bothering her, it's the people in there. She was shy while taking the customer's orders at the beginning of her job. So I was there on the third day of her job and she looked the same as she described herself since her first day of her job.
Nikki: Yeah and she helped me overcome that by me pretending that I'm taking an order and Tiffany pretending to be the customer. Then she suggested we use a random bystander to pretend to be the customer if they have time and we did.
Tiffany: Now, Nikki is becoming a better barista... and Nik, you did more than okay, you did amazing!
Kyanna: That's good!
Nikki becomes bashful at being praised and congratulated while Audrey just stands there, watching the 3 girls with a straight face. She turns herself around and exhales her breath in jealousy. She's sad, she wishes to have that attention Nikki has.
Kyanna: C'mon, let's get in.
The 3 girls enter the Beetle, but as Kyanna enters the driver's seat, she witnesses Audrey slouching in sadness before entering the driver's seat of her Miata.
The ladies in the orange Silverado are getting ready to go to sleep, as well. Jessie is sleeping on her driver's side with the seat folded back. Beli and Aiko sleep in their sleeping bags on the roomy bed of Jessie's truck. The cushioning of their sleeping bags make sleeping on the bed not too uncomfortable, even their heads on their pillows.
Beli: This is nice. I never stargaze on a vehicle before. Have you, Aiko?
Aiko: Can't say I have, I hung out at the beach at night a few times by myself and these stars are nice then as they are now.
Jessie slides open the rear window of her truck.
Jessie: Hey, any you need some water?
Beli: Sure. (She catches a bottle of water from Jessie)
Aiko: No, thank you.
Jessie closed the rear window as Beli and Aiko continued their conversation.
Beli: You know, Aiko? These stars are so beautiful. I haven't seen stars like this since I was younger. I was with my parents and we went camping.
The stars are magnificent tonight. The stars are rather big as if they're closer to Earth than they usually are. The rest of the night sky is at a nice dark blue with a small shade of purple. So eye catching, even the rest of the girls are admiring the sight of it and taking pictures of the starry sky and sending it on their social medias. Audrey though, is already asleep in her car.
After the enjoyment of gazing at the stars, it's finally time for everyone to sleep.
The sun is rising and it's a new day.
Male voice: Son? Wake up.
I hear a familiar voice that's telling me to wake up.
Male voice: Wake up, son.
I grunted as I finally awaken to 2 people standing in front of me.
Me: Mom? Dad?
It's my mother and father. Never in their years have they come across their own son wake up at a wall in an alleyway in the morning, the same spot I am. My dad helps me up and I rub the dirt off of my clothes.
Me: What are you guys doing here? How did you find me?
Dad: We we're looking all over you. We were worried about you. We used a cellphone tracker to find you, and thank goodness, you're alright.
Me: But I just woke up outdoors.
Dad: Eh, don't worry about that. Your mother and I have a surprise for you. (He pulls out a new car key out of his pocket)
Me: IS THAT A SUBARU KEY?!
Dad: You bet it is, my boy!
I was shocked at the surprise I got. My parents got me a new car!
Me: Well, where is it?
Dad: Right behind you.
I turned my body around and there it is, my new 2014 blue WRX. It fills me with awe and it's definitely better than my current car.
Me: It's shiny.
Dad: And it's all yours. Just give me the key to your old car and this baby is yours.
I traded my old car key and now I got my hands on the new Subaru key.
Me: I don't know what to say. Wh-what do I owe you?
Mom: Nothing.
Hearing my mom uttering just one word almost sent me over the edge.
Dad: Nothing at all, son. You've been a great son and we are so proud of you.
This is the happiest day of my life. I got a nice family and friends, a good education, and a good job. I even got a new car to top it off. I jumped up and gave my parents a great hug. I never been so grateful in my life.
Me: Thank you. Thank you both.
Dad: You're welcome. Now, go on. Get in the car. She's waiting for you.
I let go of my parents and excitedly go into the driver's seat of my new Subaru. Everything here is awesome in the interior: the steering wheel, the gauges, the dashboard, the speakers, and the seats are so comfortable, but now, the moment of truth.
I started the engine and started revving the engine. Just listen to that 2.5 L 4-cylinder! This thing is beast! The engine is magnificent, music to my ears. The three of us are thrilled that this baby works pretty good.
Dad: You like your present?
Me: Hell no! I LOVE IT. But where should I go?
Dad: Actually, I also ordered a Double Double combo for you at In-N-Out. You can drive there.
Me: Really?
Dad: Sure. Just take this receipt and they'll call for this number. Listen to it, and the food is yours. (My dad gives me the receipt)
Me: Wow! Thanks dad!
Dad: No problem. Now go get your food, son. You don't want it cold.
With that, I released the e-brake, put it in drive, lightly pushed the gas pedal, and took off. We waved each other goodbye and I am on my way to In-N-Out. I made it to the restaurant and parked my new car. As I was about to open my driver's door, a male In-N-Out employee approaches to my car. He points his finger down, telling me to lower my window, and so I did.
Employee: Order number 27 for a blue Subaru?
That's the order number on my receipt.
Me: I guess so.
Employee: Okay. Here's your food.
Me: Thank you!
Employee: You're welcome… and you must be the son whose dad gave you this sweet new Subaru, right?
Me: Yeah.
Employee: He told me about it. He told me to give you the food he ordered for me to give you when you arrived with the car. Your dad is a sweet guy.
Me: Yeah, he is.
Employee: Ok sir, enjoy your food.
Wow, life is even better than I expected. I got a new car and some good food, all thanks to the support of my parents. Plus, I love you, dad! Thanks for the wheels!
I take a look at my food, I was thinking not to eat my food in my new car, but screw it, I'll be careful. I took out my Double Double burger and enjoy eating it with the fries that came with it. As I finished eating my food, which was satisfying, I hear another familiar voice.
Kyanna: You enjoying your food there, big guy? Cuz that's gonna be your last meal.
Kyanna. She's just there, standing behind my car, I can see her with my driver's side mirror. Plus, she sounds more threatening than I remembered. However, she's not alone.
Audrey: Hello, fucker!
It's Audrey, inside her new car, an RX-7, and it's well-tuned with a shiny, red paintjob, custom white rims, a whole body kit that actually looks nice on her car, and a carbon fiber spoiler that suits her car, too. It even has an engine upgrade as Audrey revs her car. Audrey makes a menacing smile as she does, making a loud revving sound.
Unfortunately, we're not having a car show.
Me: Shit!
I floor the gas pedal all the way down, making all the tires of the all-wheel drive WRX screech, leaving Kyanna and Audrey in a puffy cloud of white tire smoke, causing them to cough.
Kyanna: After him!
Kyanna enters Audrey's passenger side as Audrey puts her foot down, beginning her attempt to chase me by car. We leave the parking lot as I attempt my escape. We're both driving fast, but already, Audrey is catching up to me.
Me: Since when do those two get along?! And since when is Audrey ever a tuner?!
Traffic aplenty is up ahead, making us swerving from lane to lane and maneuvering around traffic cars. We drove 2 whole miles and the traffic is clearing and the road has become a two lane road. That gives an opportunity for Audrey to catch up to me even closer, but it gets worse, this two lane road is on a cliffside. One shoulder side of the road is angled uphill and the other shoulder side of the road has guard railing and what's behind it is a 100ft fall to your doom. There's no turning back! I have to do what I can to escape these crazy girls!
Me: What the…
Suddenly, the sunlight entering my windows are fading as I noticed the sky gets dark. Dark clouds form all over the sky so fast and it made a thunderclap before it starts to rain.
Me: That's impossible!
I turn on my headlights and the windshield wipers and the two girls are still chasing me as the RX-7 has its lights on. The chase goes on and on and on and my efforts of escaping is not doing so good as I feel a hard bump from behind.
Me: Agh!
It was Audrey! She just rammed my new ride! The impact caused my upper body to forcefully move forward, almost colliding my nose to the steering wheel. Audrey is getting aggressive behind the wheel and it's now clear that she wants me dead.
Me: Holy fuck! She's a maniac!
Audrey floors the gas pedal and she gives my rear bumper another hard bump.
Me: I just got this car and you spilled my lemonade! (I gasp)
Suddenly, I see what's up ahead, it's some broken guard railing, barricaded with roadwork. The road after the broken railing is a left turn and it's too sharp to make a fast turn on it. Plus, I'm seconds away to drive past that broken railing.
I used my brakes, but Audrey gives me one final collision to my car from behind, extra aggressively. That push causes my car not going to be able to brake in time. My car breaks through the roadwork and my car takes a big fall. The car is falling down before the front end of my car collided with the bottom hard and exploded.
However, I wasn't inside my car before it fell off the road. I managed to evacuate my car before it fell off. Now, I'm hanging from the cliffside for my life before I watched my car fall with its driver side door open before the whole car got destroyed. As I'm still hanging for my life, I hear a familiar car engine approaching. I hear Audrey's car stopped and I hear car doors opening and closing. Then, I see someone standing on the edge where I'm hanging on. It's Audrey, looking down at me with an evil look on her face with Kyanna beside her. Then suddenly, Tiffany stands beside the girls, then Nikki, Aiko, Jessie, Beli, and even Lola. All looking down at me, but that's not all. Celeste arrives at the scene and even my cat, Momo. Not my cat, too! All of them give me an evil look and they are shined on by the RX-7's headlights where Audrey pulled it over. They're all facing down at me, watching me suffer and then the rain becomes stronger as a flash of lightning occurs with another thunderclap. Last but not least, I hear rapid flapping of wings and sparkles falling down my face. Somebody is floating behind me. I look back and I see Kyu with her boss, Venus, floating beside her, and they're watching me suffer, as well. I gasped at the sight of the love goddess and my wingwoman and they don't seem to be helping me. With all of that, Kyu decides my fate.
Kyu: End him.
I was shocked at what Kyu just said. With Kyu's confirmation, Audrey stomped my face, causing me to lose grip from the cliffside and having a great big fall. I screamed and screamed as I fall before I…
Me: Aaaah!
I woke up, screaming, and out of breath. Turns out, it was all a nightmare. There was no Subaru or In-N-Out, which was sad. At least there's no storm. I checked my own body and I'm still alive with an empty bottle of 40 oz in my hand. I felt my own head and it's in pain.
Me: So this is what a hangover feels like.
Yes, I never got drunk before sleeping before and that was my first hangover. I looked around and I am still in the spot where I passed out. Then, I got up and now there's pedestrians and the street is getting busy. My headache is hurting pretty bad, but I can walk normal now. So I began walking. As I walked a few steps, I remembered I parked my car far away somewhere. I had to because I felt like I wanted to get wasted and to make sure I wouldn't be tempted to even go near my car while drunk. If that's not the best idea to keep myself from drunk driving, I don't know what is. Next, I checked my pockets.
Me: Phone, check. Wallet, check. Keys, check.
That was close. If luck wasn't on my side, someone would definitely pickpocket me while I was asleep and an ex-girlfriend would definitely find me. My headache is almost unbearable, but I must focus on what I'm able to do than not able, walk while I still can and remember where I parked. Good news is though: I didn't drive while drunk. Bad news: I might not remember where I parked it now. Then, I softly cursed at myself.
Me: Fuck!
To make matters a little worse, my phone battery is at 30%, but might I have an idea that might get me to my car. I use the GPS on my phone to take me back to the liquor store from where I bought my 40 oz from. It's an AMPM and it should be the only place like it in this town, the town where I don't even know where I am. As I searched for the AMPM, the GPS showed that it's 45 minutes away... by foot. Then I softly cursed at myself again.
Me: Shit.
This is not going to be a walk in the park and I brought this shit on myself. I might as well start walking with my GPS telling me where to go before my battery reaches 0%. Luckily, my charger is in my car and I don't think I'll be drinking like this anytime soon.
Over at the hiking trail, everyone is awake. Kyanna, Tiffany, and Nikki went outside the Beetle to stretch while Jessie is doing the same out of her truck. Beli and Aiko sit up and stretched as well in the bed of the Silverado. They watch their surroundings, the environment around the spot they slept on is amazing in the morning. The birds are singing, the sky has no clouds, the grass is green, and the flowers are blooming. Everything looks beautiful, but something is missing.
Nikki: Girls, look!
Everyone is shocked at what they see. There are tire tracks on the dirt that were not there before and those tire tracks start from where Audrey slept. Audrey's car is gone and Audrey is not here, which means she must've driven off somewhere.
Will the girls find out why Audrey left before everyone else? Will the protagonist find his car and overcome his headache from his hangover? What about the fact that all the ladies have ridiculous reasons why they're all after the same protagonist? Will it ever get settled? Will Lola ever get her injured arm healed because... oh wait, the story never mentioned that, yet? She had her arm broken from tripping over stairs as she was entering a huge airplane. Let's hope no one else gets hurt.
Stay tuned for more HunieHunt.
I know it's a little delayed since I published this story, but still, what do you guys think of my story so far? I would love to see some feedback in the reviews. Thank you, all, and thank you Cypher DS for your bit of help with this chapter. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
