*Amber's POV*
Aww! They were K-I-S-S-I-N-G! (A/N: This story is rated K+, people) I announced my presence by pulling out my phone and taking some pictures.
"Hello-o," Alfie singsonged. "Are you two lovebirds satisfied with our honeymoon suite?" Fabian and Nina both turned beet-red and broke apart.
"Are you two going to admit you're a couple yet? You do realize we're going to hassle you until you do. And where's Jerome? How'd you get stuck down there?" Patricia asked.
"Um...well, yes we are; I don't know, and Jerome shoved us," Nina replied. How could he? Jerome is such a...URGH!
*Fabian's POV*
Alfie tossed down a rope, and Nina and I climbed out. "Thanks, Alfie."
"No problem. Now Fabian, when exactly did you two get together?"
"Er...last night."
He gave me a look. "Can you be more specific? Like, for example...I don't know-these are just off the top of my head: while you danced, before you kissed, right after..." He trailed off.
I stared at him in incredulity. "Why are you asking? Didn't you all spy on us the entire night?"
"Give us a break, Fabes. We're not that nosy."
"Just tell us," Amber begged.
Nina finally answered, "After the kiss."
Mara punched the air with a look of satisfaction on her face. That weirded me out. She was never like that at all. "Yes! Twenty pounds to me. Pay up!" She held out her hand, and I watched as Alfie, Amber, Mick, and Patricia dug into their pockets. Each of them pulled out five pounds and laid them on her palm.
"You all bet on us?" Nina questioned in disbelief.
"Maybe..." was Mick's weak reply. That was just like them. My housemates... I shook my head.
"So do you have any idea where Jerome went?"
I turned toward Mara. "Nope. Apparently he's out to plan his revenge on us for sticking him in the pit. He said he already got even with Nina and me by shoving us back down there. Jerome's really ticked, so be on your guard," I warned.
Someone's stomach rumbled. "I'm ready for a snack," Nina announced. I was a bit famished, too-you know, being in a pit an' all. I took her hand; we made our way back to the house. The others followed us. Trudy laid out some cookies. As we were munching on them, Jerome walked in.
"Hello, everyone! Had a pleasant night, I hope."
We all shared confused looks at his cheeriness and gave a nod. He waited until Trudy went into the laundry room, then growled," Well, mine was miserable. I've already gotten even with Romeo and Juliet here, but that still leaves a meathead, a goody two-shoes, a Goth pixie, and a joker. You've been warned." He left. The room was silent. That was quite some speech.
"Hey, Fabian, can I sleep in your room tonight?" I just stared at Alfie. "I guess it's a 'no' then." He sighed.
*Patricia's POV*
The rest of the day passed uneventfully. We played a friendly game of football [soccer]. I'll give you one guess as to who's team won. We all went to bed. As I was staring up at my dark ceiling, I thought, I guess our mission's accomplished- Nina and Fabian are finally girlfriend and boyfriend.
Just between me and myself, I've noticed Amber acting sweeter towards Alfie. We may have another couple soon.
I think this whole matchmaking business has made me a lot closer to Amber, Mick, Mara, and Alfie. It may have been stressful at times, but overall it was a load of fun. Maybe soon it can be me, Mara, Mick, Fabian, and Nina setting up Alfie and Amber. Oh, and Jerome, too, if he wants to. He may, he may not- he's still a bit of a mystery to me. Well, that's enough evening revelations. I'm tuckered out. Night.
*+*+*+*NIGHT PASSES*+*+*+*+*
I was rudely awakened by a scream from Nina's room. "What now?" I groaned as I fetched my robe and rushed over there. Something told me there would be a lot more screaming. My drama sense was definitely tingling.
