Okay folks, here's chapter three. Also, I'm re-doing a couple of parts in Chapter two, maybe one as well to fix some mistakes. Well, not mistakes but make it better! I'm doing that for my other story as well, so yeah… enjoy this chapter for the moment.
It was now four-fifteen in the afternoon and we were in the bunker.
It had been a very awkward trip back on Sewee, Ben's boat. No one had known what to say and still didn't know. The bunker was cool as always.
No matter what the temperature was outside it never affected it. I
was sweating, not as much as I normally would, cause I'll admit it, I'm a sweater.
"So, guys, any questions?" God that is the worst thing to say.
"Well," started Shelton, "what's actually happening at the moment? With Ben, and you both?" nodding toward me and Ben.
Here we go. This is gonna be fun. (note the sarcasm.)
"I'll start from the beginning." Ben.
He told Hiram and Shelton what he told me. How he met the Gamemaster and told him about me, Jason, and him. What he felt and how he got betrayed.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
"Okay. I got it now." Hi.
"That is a lot to take in." Shelton.
"Yeah. I know." Ben.
"Guys, we need to move on. The Gamemaster's definitely gonna go to jail, Ben's free, and we are all still here with no serious injuries."
"Tor's right. I know I shouldn't have done what I did, but it's done now, and I helped to put the son of a bitch into jail. And I know I should've told you when he betrayed me, and I was a jerk. I just hope you guys will forgive me. Oh, and girl. Sorry." He blushed.
"Do you really think I woulda kissed you if I hadn't already?" I winked. Ben put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer.
He grinned, "Well, maybe, if you wanted a real good kiss." I sat on his lap and put my arms round his neck.
"What if I did?" I started grinning as well.
"Oh stop it." He joked, still grinning. I got dead serious.
"Make me." Ben stopped smiling.
"Maybe I will." Then we both grinned and he kissed me again.
A few seconds passed.
Someone cleared their throat behind us. Hi and Shelton. I forgot about them. Opps.
Ben and I reluctantly pulled away and I sat beside him on the bench to the right of the door.
"You guys done?" Hi asked. Ben stumbled over words.
"Err, yeah, umm, sorry about that." He tried a sheepish grin. Hi didn't smile. We'll have to watch it.
"Just try to do the flirting on your own time. Please. It's kinda disgusting."
"Right, sorry." Ben and I spoke in unison.
"Anyway, on a more important note," Hi turned to Ben with a cocky grin on his face. "I didn't know you could flirt."
Ben opened his mouth to speak but Shelton stepped in and crossed his arms.
"Same for you Victoria. Where did you pick up flirting skills?"
Jeez guys. That's your question? Where did we learn to flirt? What the hell?
"Seriously? My dad has a girlfriend. I walk in on them flirting on the couch all the time. I'm bound to pick up something up. Besides, it's not exactly rocket science." "Okay. That's acceptable. What bout you Benjamin?"
A few seconds passed. Maybe minutes.
"Ok. When I visit my mum's place, she normally has some guy friends over, and I hear like five of them flirting with her at once. I can't help but learn. It is so disgusting though."
I never realised his mum had guy friends. It never occurred to me that she might be that sort of person to maybe juggle five boyfriends at once. How cruel to Ben.
"That's plausible too. Okay. Next issue. What's going on with you two? Please don't tell the more intimate things,"
Ben and I blushed.
"But just tell us some… stuff. Start from the courtroom."
Well, this gonna be awkward, and complicated. What do I say? Oh god. Whatever. Let's start.
"Well, you saw what happened in the courtroom. The Gamemaster started yelling about how Ben loved me and how he was jealous."
Ben dropped his head in embarrassment, but I continued.
"Then I yelled that I loved Ben, and he stepped into the room, asked me if I really did, I said yes and we ran towards each other and hugged. Then Ben whispered to me that he did indeed love me and that he was jealous and some other stuff you don't need to know, and then…"
I paused as a light pink rose up my neck to my cheeks.
Ben raised his head and gave a slight grin, taking my hand and looking at the other boys, "Tory kissed me. For a while. I won't go into detail. Then we realised everyone in the courtroom was watching us, including you two, and we walked to the front of the room and sat down. Then, we left and here we are now!"
"Thanks for clearing that up buddy." Hi had walked to the fridge while we talked and was now eating an apple.
"So, what do you want to do now? Cause I have an idea!" I smiled my most convincing smile.
A look of terror slide onto Shelton's face. "Oh no."
"What?"
"You're gonna ask us to go looking for trouble."
I actually thought Shelton was going to crumble onto the floor.
"Nope." I winked
"Wha-at? Did I fall down the rabbit hole into madness land? Or did you just say we can have a normal day?"
"You have not fallen down a hole, Shelton! I was just gonna suggest a swim in the sea by the beach. It is a pretty hot day today and we've had a hell of a week."
Shelton sighed with relief.
"But, we could go and look for trouble if you want." I gave him a cheeky grin.
His eyes went so wide I thought they might pop out of their sockets.
"No! A swim is what I ordered!" Waving his hands in the air above his head.
"So, Ben, Hi? What do you think?"
"I'm in!" They said at once.
"Wait, we don't have any swimmers." Hi.
"I thought you were the fun one! We swim in our clothes, and if anyone asks, we fell in getting off the boat."
"Right!" He yelled, jumping up and pointing one finger in the air. "Allons-y!"
This is gonna be great!
