Chapter 2 Now that's a slap in the face
Buttercup bit her lips as the embarrassing feeling's crawl inside her whole body. It was an early, Sunday morning and she was sitting at the computer alone in her room. Her sisters were still sound asleep and The Professor still hadn't come back from taking Ms. Keane home.
She stuck out her tongue, trying to wipe the thought of those two from her mind. Though what she was looking at on her screen was far worse than them getting back in the groove.
"Am I really going to do this?" She rolled the mouse over to the video, that thumbnails a man and woman. Hovered over one another, skin on skin. Buttercup knew what they were about to do.
So, she clicked the video.
"Have you been looking for love in all the wrong places?" The man and women looked at the camera and nodded in agreement "Well look no more! At Life's a Bow and Cupids we're sure to shoot you in right arms!"
Pictures of real people(actors) started to fill the screen, boring Buttercup with their life story and how this remarkable website changed their lives.
"We're so happy!" One man said, holding his wife.
"That's a load of bull." Buttercup stuck her tongue out, quickly leaving the website. She then could hear her sisters in the room across the hall, talking over each other about last night.
Yeah, she was jealous. How she had wanted to giggle, whisper, talk and (God forbid) swoon with her sister over a last night date. They had tried to set her up with Butch but Buttercup didn't approve. She just didn't think Butch was her peanut butter to his jelly. Though he had given her permission to eat him.
Whatever that meant.
"Look at them!" Buttercup scoff, looking out the window she saw men and women set into this love trance, practically drooling over one another like a dog on a bone.
"...Why can't I have that?" She press her hands against the window and slid down. Watching as some of the towns people decorated the streets with red hearts and other crappy love stuff for February 14th. "Why does there have to be a day to remind me that I've been single for the last 16 years?! This makes me wanna protest. "
What was wrong with her? Why didn't any guy want her as their girl? She was near the definition of nice! Rarely beat people up (except Butch), she was average, medium hair and sometimes she took baths.
What guy wouldn't want all that?! Buttercup thought she was the whole package, yet, no one has wanted to open her.
Her phone then buzzed and she groaned once she read the caller Id.
Butch...answer then hang up.
She answered "This phone is going into investigation and we'd like if you not call back."
"Hm, okay" Buttercup sighed in relief, can't believing how easy he bought it. "I'll just have to stop by everyday-"
"What the hell do you want, Butch?" Buttercup slap herself. She just knew he was smirking on the other end. He said "Buttercup?! What are you doing out of jail so soon?"
"I killed everyone." Buttercup said flat, rolling her eyes as Butch chuckled "I'm loving the sympathy you got going."
"Well someone's using big words!" Buttercup said sarcastically, smacking her cheeks so loud Butch heard it "How about we hang up and I'll come over and give you a treat for your vocabulary?"
"Can't we just hit the shower? My tub is big enough for two bodies."
"Can't I just hit you? My fist is big enough to make two black eyes."
"Come on, Bc." Butch sigh annoyed. Buttercup lowered her eyes and sighed "Fine...I'll bring my CPR dummy and you can have your way with hi-I mean her."
"I was talking about something else." Butch sounded more serious, Buttercup could hear him tapping his fingers. She decided to let him talk then she would accidentally hang up.
"That is?"
"I'm taking you to the dance this Friday." Butch said in a firm tone like a judge, sentencing someone to court. Buttercup wasn't surprised, her sisters were behind this set up. And the walls are thin.
"Did you forget how to say yes?" Butch asked with a hint of an ego.
"Is this how you ask girls out? First you sexual harass them about taking a shower then you try to be some rough romantic?" Buttercup asked sarcastically, now wondering why was she even still talking to him "No wonder why you're still single."
"I have you know I got groupies from here to global!"
"So, the five years old live here and the global girls are far away from you? Yeah, you sound like a real pimp-"
"Buttercup, just say yes already!" said a familiar voice. Buttercup glue her ear to her phone and gasped "Blossom? Is that you?"
"And me!" Giggled a voice "Hi Buttercup!" Buttercups eyes twitch "Who invited you on this line?!"
"I needed some back up." Butch said proudly "And they just wanted to be nosy. Anyway, so how about that yes?"
"Uh?"
"Want me to play some background music to help you think? I got Jeopardy!" Bubbles blurted out.
"No need to make the situation more intense." Buttercup bit her lip, a part of her really wanted to actually give Butch a chance. She was desperate but the other half of her just couldn't see Butch as the one.
But if she didn't go to the dance she might witness much worst then the make out scenes.
Then she looked over at her laptop and sighed on the phone "Okay."
"Really?!" Butch got excited as her sister squealed in delight. Then Buttercup squinted her eyes and blurted out "But I have to ask my boyfriend first!"
And that's when everything got better.
