Surprises of Life Chapter 9 Couple Weirdness
Kayla's POV
"Morning, love." Chris breathed hotly in my ear as he hugged me with his arms around my waist.
"Mornin', how did you sleep?" I smiled as I finished scrambling the eggs.
Chris kissed me in the crook of my neck making me laugh, "Can you two get a room?" Kasey whined as he ruffled his unkempt hair as he got some orange juice from the super small fridge.
"Yeah, get a room!" Finn chirped as the two high-fived, Chris stood there with his mouth open in shock when he saw Kasey high-five air.
"What did you just do?" Chris asked with his eyes bulging out.
"He can't see me/him?" Finn, Kasey, and I asked.
"See who...?" Chris asked raising a white eyebrow.
"Finn he's helping me with my job here...he's a harvest sprite..." I explained twiddling my fingers.
"They exist!?" Chris asked with a huge smile forming on his face, Kasey and I nodded. "If they exist then why can't I see them?"
"You don't have a pure enough heart." I said bowing my head sadly.
"Hey, it's not your fault, but how does Kasey have a more pure heart than I do, he's done more bad things than I've done." Chris asked me as I shrugged and Kasey just laugh evilly as he went and took a quick shower.
Chris and I sat down at my table and started eating the breakfast I made as we heard a knock on my door. Chris was going to get up and get it when I beat him to it as I gave a look that said 'stay and eat'.
I walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Gill and Chase with the rest of his friends.
"What are you guys doing up so early for?" I asked with a tilt of my head.
"Uh..." they all mumbled blushing a deep red as they turned their heads away as they realized I was just wearing a form fitting light blue tank top with gray short shorts with white stripes on the sides.
"Who is it, Kayla?" Chris asked as he snuck his arms around my waist and pulled me into his bare chest and kissed my neck, making me giggle.
I smiled brightly, "So what brings eight guys to my girlfriend's front door?" Chris asked as I jabbed him in the shoulder to shut his mouth, he pouted.
"I'm not falling for it all you want is sex." I stated as he sighed crossing his arms like a little kid, the guys just raised their eyebrows at that except for Chase and Gill who blushed slightly at that idea. "Anyway, what Chris means to say is what can I help you with?"
"No, I'm pretty sure I said what I meant there is no reason for them to be here to ruin our shower when you're mine." Chris pouted, I slapped the back of his head as I forced a smile on my face that totally said 'you should shut up before I make you'.
"You two seriously need to get a room..." Kasey muttered as he stepped in view to see who was outside.
"Ohh, hey whatcha guys doing here?" Kasey smiled. "Shouldn't you put some clothes on even though you have nice boxers?"
"Naw, I think Kayla likes it this way better." Chris smirked as I elbowed his side. "And I can order you some if you want."
"Cool, I'll pay you once we get back to the city." Kasey stated the two shaking on it.
"Shut it you two, you both are making this really awkward." I glared.
"Um...we came to see if you were finding everything alright..." Gill trailed off.
"Yeah, and to see if you wanted us to do the farm chores?" Chase asked as the others nodded.
"You can if you want." Chris said.
"No, it's fine, I have it under control." I said as I grabbed Gill's arm to look at his watch for the time, making him blush and the others glare especially Chase.
"Shit, I'm late..." I muttered as I ruffled my hair and rush back inside and grabbed some clothes and rushed inside the bathroom, coming out a second later. "You two finish breakfast while I'm taking care of the farm and then we can look around." I said as I waved and ran outside leaving all of the guys staring after me.
"Isn't she a pop star?" Luke asked.
"She is one, but how does she know how to take care of a farm?" Jin stated adjusting his glasses on his face.
"Here's your breakfast eat it and go watch her, I need to take a shower..." Chris muttered to Kasey as he pushed us away from the door and closed it as he started his shower.
They walked over to the farm plot and watched her water, harvest, and weed like a pro.
"Wow..." the guys said in awe as she wiped some sweat from her brow.
"I had no idea my sister was this good at farming..." Kasey trailed off.
"You were pretty good..." Gill trailed off, surprising everyone at his compliment as Chris walked up to them.
"Wow, she's hot when she's sweaty, huh." Chris smirked elbowing Kasey playfully.
"Remember, you're dating my little sister because I'm letting you and plus if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have even known she existed." Kasey smirked.
"True, I was a little cocky ass back then and didn't pay attention until you told me she liked me by dragging her up in front of me and made us stand their until we admitted our feelings for each other." Chris reminisced with a smile.
"Yeah, still don't know if the spiders were worth it or not..." Kasey trailed off as the two broke out in laughter as the rest of them stood their very confused.
Kayla walked over and rang the bell for the animals to come out, "It was totally worth it." she smiled as she put some of her crops in the bin. "Torturing you two was so much fun." she smirked evilly.
"Yeah, done already?" Kasey asked as she nodded.
"Yep, done except for the foraging and I have to go give Ruth the ten lettuces." she said.
"We can give them to her?" Chase suggested, she shook her head.
"No, I got it, it's my job anyway." she said as she walked forward as she stopped and looked over her shoulder at us.
"We should go, come on!" she smiled as Chris, Kasey, and her wave as the two guys walked side by side watching Kayla skip ahead.
"How does she know how to farm and how does know where everything is on the island?" Owen asked.
"She's really smart!" Luke stated with starry eyes.
They all gave him weird looks, "I don't know..." Gill trailed off as they walked back into town.
"Hey Ruth, Brian wanted me to give you the ten lettuces when they were ready to harvest." Kayla said pulling out the said lettuce and giving it to her.
"Thank you Miss Blythe, that is very kind of you." Ruth smiled. "Here, make sure your brother gets this and I hope you come visit again soon."
She handed Kayla a key, "I guess that fertilizer worked pretty well, huh." Ruth laughed.
"Yeah, it did, growing lettuce that fast you think it would be magic." Kayla laughed nervously because Ruth never laughs unless she wants to kill you.
"Well good luck and have fun! Visit again!" Ruth chirped as they left waving.
"What the hell is going on?" Kasey asked with his eyes wide.
"I don't know, but I'm definitely not staying to find out, come on." Kayla said as she walked over to the locked gate.
"Finally those guys left..." Finn sighed as he flew over to us.
"Glad you could join us, you just missed Ruth laughing." Kasey stated.
"Really? How is that even possible!?" Finn asked as he landed on my shoulder. "So the fertilizer worked, huh."
She nodded, "Surprisingly quick...you would tell me if you used your powers to speed my crops up right?" Kayla asked as she unlocked the gate.
"Yeah, I would but..." Finn trailed off as they walked through the gate and followed the path.
"But what?" she asked.
"I don't have magic powers." Finn stated as they walked up to the yellow bell frame to see that Craig was praying to it, he heard them walk up and stood up quickly.
"Um...I was just checking the fields." Craig said.
"We know, they look great." Kayla smiled making the grumpy man's face form a small smile before he nodded a goodbye and left.
"Interesting maybe, being a girl farmer would have been a better decision..." Kasey mused tapping his chin in thought.
"Too late now to switch..." Kayla said as she and Finn walked over to the bell frame and put the yellow bell back in its place.
"Hi! Can I tell you a joke?" Collin asked, making Kayla smile slightly.
"I would love to hear one, but we would like you to ring your bell, we have to get the other bells back to their frames, I'm sorry." she said giving the yellow sprite a sad look.
"It's fine, Kayla! I just want to say you're very pretty... Anyway, oh mighty yellow bell ring so we can hear your beautiful melody!" Collin said with a faint blush.
"I hope I don't have to watch him try to steal my girlfriend away..." Chris glared.
Kasey chuckled to himself as they stood back watching Kayla complete one more step to her mission, "You have nothing to worry about, but I'm not so sure about those eight guys, they were blushing way too much for embarrassment."
"Yeah, you're right, looks like I have my job cut out for me, huh." Chris smiled sadly as he watched Kayla, soaking in everything about her that he loves so much.
"Let's go, Finn, we need to look for the other bells!" Kayla said cheerfully as they left the beautiful field.
"You've done enough work, we're suppose to pretend that we're tourists." Chris smiled.
"Well, too late now for that." Kayla smirked.
"Yeah, I guess your right about that..." Chris sighed. "Hey Kasey, you want to go watch TV while our little farmer keeps working?"
"Sure, let's go!" Kasey said as they waved and walked back to the farm as Kayla waved back before heading to town with Finn.
"Chris is right, we've only been working since you've gotten here, we both need a vacation." Finn sighed.
"Where would we go?" Kayla asked with a tilt of her head.
"Well...we could go to Toucan Island!" Finn stated with a smile.
"The boats can't go out that way, though because of the strong currents, they can barely get to the mainland and back." Kayla stated, Finn sighing.
"True..." Finn shrugged sadly. "We could always hang out at the bar and I promise I won't say anything to make you look crazy."
"I'll hold you to that!" Kayla laughed as they walked into town and over to the Brass Bar.
Kayla walked in and saw Chase cleaning a glass, "Hey Chase!" she smiled as she walked over and sat down in front of him.
"Hey...uh...Kayla, where's your boyfriend at?" Chase asked blushing slightly.
"Oh, he's hanging out with Kasey watching TV, they never understand why I always love being outside." she smiled sadly.
"It must run in the family." Chase stated.
Kayla shook her head, "No it doesn't, our parents are the best lawyers in the world, all they ever do is work inside on their billion dollar cases." she sighed.
"I'm sorry..." Chase trailed off.
She waved dismissively, "It's not your fault or anything, sometimes I wish I was born in a normal family like you." she stated with a frown.
Chase broke out with a chuckle making her look up from twiddling her fingers, "My family is the least normal family in the world, trust me you do not want them as your parents." he smiled slightly.
"Okay, we both have terrible families that's good to know, cheers." she stated holding her glass out as they clicked glasses and drank the shots.
"Yeah, good to know that even famous families still have problems..." Chase sighed, Kayla nodded.
Gill came in as Kayla was laughing at one of Chase's stupid jokes, he glared at the couple as he walked up and sat down next to her.
"What's got your panties in a bunch? Luna again?" Chase asks with a knowing look as Kayla covered her mouth to try to stop her laughter.
"Shut up and give me the usual!" Gill demanded making the pair go silent instantly as Chase handed the platinum blond his tomato juice.
"Anyway, how did you and your boyfriend meet?" Chase asked Kayla as he frowned slightly, making Gill almost choke on his drink wondering why would Chase ever ask that question.
"Well, we grew up together which you probably already know like how I was engaged to another childhood friend." she stated as the two guys nodded as she smiled sadly as she explained some more.
"Yeah, great huh...anyway, we actually were born on the same day a year apart and our parents are really good friends. My parents have saved his parents' company a lot of money, the three of us were babysat by the same people at the same time so we spent a lot of time together..." she explained sipping some grape juice before speaking again.
"I actually had a crush on Chris my whole life, but I was promised to Derrick as his wife before I was even born." she stated disgusted.
"That sucks..." Chase said, Gill nodded in agreement.
"Enough about my sad existence, how about you guys?" Kayla smiled.
"Um..." they trailed off blushing.
"Well, it's only fair that you each tell me something about yourselves since you two have listen to pretty much my whole life story." she stated with a smile an innocent tilt of her head.
"Fine...I'm an only child and my parents are divorced, nothing special." Chase stated, the two turned to Gill.
"Um...only child and I hope to become the mayor of Castanet someday in the near future." Gill said quickly with a blush of embarrassment.
Kayla laughed, she must have thought it was stupid of him to think he could ever become mayor.
"Sorry about that, I pictured you with a top hat and fancy clothes as you ran around town." she smiled brightly as Chase snickered picturing it.
"Yeah, I can totally see you doing that..." Chase laughed as Kayla giggled uncontrollably, Gill death glared them.
"Like either of you can do better!" he semi-yelled as he stomped out of the building.
Chase and Kayla watched as he left, the latter with a frown, "Did I say something to upset him?" she asked.
Chase shook his head, "Don't worry about him, he gets defensive when it comes to personal stuff."
"Ohh that's too bad, I wanted to get to know him better... Well, I'll see you later!" Kayla sighed as she stood up to leave.
"You don't have to leave yet!" Chase semi-yelled stopping her in place. "I mean if you don't want too...that is." he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"I would love to stay and chat with you, but I don't want to keep you from your job and plus I have to go put George and Ted away..." she explained with a small frown.
"Ohh..." Chase muttered with a depressed frown when Hayden came into the room.
"Take the night off, Chase, I got it covered." Hayden said grabbing a towel and putting it over his shoulder.
"But...are you sure?" Chase asked, Hayden nodded.
"You can finish cleaning up in here...I'll wait outside for you." Kayla smiled as she left through the door.
"Damn son, that is one beautiful lady, a real looker. Getting your charm on?" Hayden smirked making Chase blush.
"No, we're just friends!" Chase said quickly making the man chuckle.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop but she reminds me of my wife..." Hayden smiled sadly. "And your mother."
Chase snorted at that comment, "She's nothing like my mother." he stated with disgust as he wave and left.
"She's pretty hot, huh." Owen said to Luke.
"Hot as fire man!" Luke smirked.
"Don't you have other places to be instead of bothering me when I'm working?" Gill glared.
"If we aren't here to hook you up with a girl then how are you ever going to get a girl into bed." Luke stated as Owen nodded.
"For your information I CAN get a girl if I wanted too, but right now I'm trying to work on my career." Gill said as his father came over with a smile.
"Gilly, you said you wanted to be the mayor someday right?" Hamilton asked twiddling his fingers.
"Yes father I do." Gill nodded.
"Well, I know you have the work skills to be the mayor, but..." Hamilton trailed off.
"But what, father?" Gill asked.
"Your mother helped me become the best man I could be as mayor and I think a woman could help you too." Hamilton smiled slightly.
"WHAT!" Gill semi-yelled.
Owen and Luke snickered holding their sides.
"I want you to get married before you can become mayor." Hamilton said. "Preferably a girl like Kayla!"
"Really, you spent a day with my twin as he taught you how to farm!" Kayla laughed as Chase and her walked up with bright smiles.
Chase glared at the guys as Kayla stopped in front of Gill, he blamed them for ruining his 'date'.
"Um...hi Gill, I wanted to say sorry for earlier...I didn't mean to make fun of you for wanting to become the next mayor. Um...I actually can see you being the mayor and all. I'm really sorry again..." she frowned asking with her eyes for forgiveness as they shined brightly up to him.
Hamilton elbowed his son slightly as he stared at the reddish haired brunette while Chase glared death at him.
"Your opinion doesn't matter to me!" Gill stated snobishly.
Hamilton, Owen, and Luke mentally facepalmed while Chase smiled to himself slightly.
"Okay...sorry for bothering you, you ready to taste some of my famous orange cake, Chase!" she smiled up to the peach haired guy.
"Yeah, let's go!" Chase smiled as he held his arm out for her like a gentleman making her giggle as she entwined their arms and walked back to he farm laughing and talking as they went.
We watched them walk on the bridge that leads into town when Chris and Kasey walked around the corner and saw her with Chase and waved.
Chase, Gill, Owen, and Luke's eyes widen in surprise at Chris's appearance.
"Chase is screwed now since he is touching Kayla." Owen whispered, Gill and Luke nodded.
Kayla smiled brightly and ran over to Chris and jumped into his arms making the white haired and yellow eyed guy grunt as he caught her and spun her around making her laugh gleefully before setting her back on her feet. She smiled and hugged Kasey as they walked back over to Chase. Owen, Gill, Luke, Hamilton, Jin, Toby, Calvin, and Julius walked up to Chase. The last four sneakily joined the others while they were watching the whole situation play out.
"Hey Chase, what's up!" Chris smiled as he put his hands in his jean pockets while his black dress shirt flapped softly in the night breeze.
"Oh um...nothing, Kayla and I were doing nothing except talking...I was walking her home." Chase said in a nervous rush.
Kasey and Chris gave the guy a weird look.
"I thought you wanted to come over so you could taste my orange cake..." Kayla pouted with a sad look.
"Um...uh..." Chase sweat dropped totally not wanting to be beaten up by the girl's muscular boyfriend with a six pack, but also still wanted to hang out with Kayla.
"I wouldn't trust her cakes if I were you, remember Kasey that one time she baked our birthday cake with detergent instead of baking soda." Chris said as Kasey nodded laughing.
Kayla crossed her arms with a pout, "I was freaking five!" she yelled with a death glare at the two older guys with uncontrollable laughter.
"I hate you two..." she glare murderously. "I'm not cooking you breakfast tomorrow morning.
"Come on Chase, we're leaving!" she said grabbing the peach haired guy's arm with a death grip as she dragged him towards her house.
"Um...Kayla...uh..." Chase said looking frantically around for help.
"Have fun, hope you don't get sick!" Chris and Kasey waved as she glared at them.
She growled in anger at not making her boyfriend jealous, "I'm going to go do it with him while your still begging me to!" she yelled, making everyone's eyes widen in shock and some in jealousy.
"Have fun you two!" Chris called with a wave as they walked out of hearing range. "Let's go get some drinks, Kasey."
Chris started walking casually towards the bar with his hands behind his head, "Hey Chris, you know she'll do it to prove a point to you!" Kasey yelled as he chased after his sister's boyfriend.
"I know that's the point!" he called back as he went into the building.
"CHRIS...CHRIS, COME ON JUST SAY YOUR SORRY!" Kasey yelled as he went inside.
"Chase is one lucky man tonight, huh." Hamilton said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively before walking into townhall.
"Your dad is so weird sometimes, see yah tomorrow Gill!" his friends said with waves as they went their separate ways home leaving the blond standing there alone in the darkening light.
I lost my chance...
