Here's Chapter two! I hope its as good I think the first chapter was! I love all the love I get for writing these stories, every single e-mail I get about them make my day a bajillion times better. I love seeing names I recognise popping up in my inbox, but its also pretty cool to see new timers here. I really REALLY hope that we haven't seen the last of Revolution.
Miles and Bass watched as Charlie's dashed towards the Skee-ball game. "Miles you are going to pay for last year." She said pointing at him.
Stepping up the game she had her little bucket of tokens in hand. A few years before Miles had given a little snoopy popcorn bucket -had a thing for buckets apparently- while they were at one of the game places, she'd plowed through the popcorn and started using it to hold her tokens and tickets she'd won at the games place, it lived in the trunk of his car so he never forgot to see her on her birthday. Plunking a few tokens in the game guys hand he handed her three balls to toss.
"Bass, you gotta play bouncer this year. Keep him away from me." she said smiling at him and glaring at Miles. Bass glanced over at Miles who had a mischievous grin. "Sorry kid, you make it to easy." Miles said with a grin. Charlie rolled her eyes and turned towards the game. steadying herself she brought her arm back for an underhand throw, but what she didn't notice was the child like grins Bass and Miles shared. Bass raised his finger to his lips hoping Miles would keep quiet.
creeping out he waited until Charlie started to swing her arm forward before he reached out and started ticking her sides. Charlie screamed and the ball lept form her hands and landing with a sad thump on the game track.
Charlie whipped around expecting Miles to be backing away laughing but instead her nose bumped against Bass' chest.
"Oh." She said stumbling back. Bass caught her arms and steadied her.
"Look." Charlie said brushing his hands off while trying to hide the pink that graced her cheeks. "You only get one Monroe, next time I'm kicking your ass." She emphasised her seriousness with a poke to the chest, the gesture earned her a smile.
"What?" Miles cried behind Bass. "Why does he get off easy! If I'd done that you'd have crippled me!"
Charlie leaned enough to see Miles around Bass. "Because jackass, he's new." She turned back to her game and picked up the ball that had rolled back to her. "Now if you don't mind, can you quit your bitching and start your own game? I don't trust either of you. We'll count up the points after three rounds who ever loses buys lunch."
And with her words the boy went to the lanes on either side of her and nothing was said between them for 10 minutes, the only sounds being the thuds and rolls of the balls flying up the ramp.
After the rounds were done and all counted up they collected there tickets and compared notes.
"Well Charlie it looks like you lost." Bass said holding the note pad in front of them. "Looks like you're gonna have to buy lunch."
"Lets see." Charlie said taking the pad and pencil from him, turning around she started scribbling on the paper.
"What's she doing?" Bass asked trying to peer over her shoulder.
"She's adjusting the birthday score." Miles said rolling his eyes.
"What the hell is that?" He asked turning to his friend and raising an eyebrow.
"You'll see." He said as Charlie turned and thrust the paper back in Bass' hands. All over the column for Charlie she had scratched out or slyly adjusted the scores so that she'd come in first, putting Bass in last place.
"Looks like you're actually buying lunch Bass." She said with a cheeky smile. "I could really go for a burger and fries." She crossed her arms and dared him to question her.
Bass just sighed and looked at Miles. "Hey don't look at me, she's the crazy birthday girl." Miles raised his hands in defence. "You wanted to come, don't blame me." Miles had turned and was walking to another game.
"Alright, guess I got sucked into this." Bass said sighing again.
"Come on, lets go play a couple more games." Charlie said pushing him after Miles. They caught up with him in front of the basket hoops.
"Great, I'm good at this one." Bass said rubbing his hands together.
"That so? you go first then." Charlie said handing him the ball. Bass turned and eyed up the hoop, felt the weight of the ball then stopped and faced Charlie.
"Stand over there." He said pointing off to the side. "I wanna be able to see you, I don't trust you won't get revenge."
Charlie rolled her eyes and slid to the appointed spot. "You'd deserve it though." she mumbled, smirk in place.
Bass turned back and raised the ball, he effortlessly pushed the ball from his hands letting his hand drop and watched it sail through the air and sink through the ring. A triumphant and cocky smile in place, he turned to the other two and shrugged like 'I told you so'.
Charlie had watched every move Bass made and tried to not make it obvious she was checking out his lean arms and kissable neck as he tossed the ball. Shaking her head she noticed Bass was handing her a ball.
"Your turn." She looked down at the ball and tried to hide her fumbly fingers from them as she took it from him.
"Yah, ok." She stepped up the X and prepared herself for what she knew was now going to be an awful throw, she should have made Miles go first. Lifting the ball she tried to smoothly toss the ball like he had, but she all but launched it like a cannon and it smashed off the back wall and rolled to her feet.
"Well!" Miles said loudly. "That was terrible." He grabbed the ball off the floor and looked at Charlie. "You ok kid?" Miles asked eyeing her suspiciously.
"Yah, I'm fine Miles. I need some water, I'll be right back." And with that she turned and practically sprinted away from them.
"That was weird." Miles said watching after her. "Probably all those gummy worms we let her eat in the car." he said turning to the net. He tossed the ball not realizing Bass was still watching where Charlie had run off to, a slight frown on his face.
"Yah, probably. She'll be fine." Bass said distractedly. Miles in his oblivion clapped him on the back as he made a nothen-but-net shot.
"Come on, lets go get some drinks." Miles had started walking away before Bass heard him.
"ok." Bass shook his head trying not to read into anything.
