Chapter 11

Finally, it's out. Did hard work on this one. Tell me what you think and review :)

I put up a poll on my profile relating to this story. Go vote :)

"Welcome to Couple's Ripple! As you can see this place is famous for it's raspberry ripple ice cream meant for only couples. Did you come here to win a free room? Then let me assist you, you've come to the right place at the right time, the competition is about to start and would you like to feed the fish in the aquarium? You both look like a cute couple. The fish like you. Do you guys like to tango, because that's what you have to do to win this competition" said a waitress. She just kept on talking.

"She sure talks a lot" Drew said to May

"Agreed" said May

"So, are you up for that?" asked the waitress

"Huh?" May and Drew asked in unison as they didn't even hear to what she was blathering.

"Are you up for the contest? You have to tango in order to win the competition. Shall I take you to the costume room so that you can change?" asked the waitress

"Yes, sure do please" said May

The waitress directed them to the changing room which had many costumes in there.

"The stage where you'll be dancing is just opposite to this, please come there when you're done, make sure to pick out a good appealing outfit. You both must look like a cute couple, which you already are and I guess you don't need much effort. Change now and come fast. The competition will start within half an hour" said the waitress. She sure likes to talk. Both May and Drew sweat-dropped.

"Right" said both in unison. The waitress shut the door and left.

"Now what?" asked May

"I don't know, maybe we should put a costume on and dance. 'The tango dance'." he said stressing on the last part.

"Yeah, anything for a free room to keep us safe from the storm out there" said May and started searching for an outfit. Drew did the same. May found a really pretty ruffled dress. It was white, long and looked fragile. She really liked it. Drew chose a plain white shirt with black skinny jeans and a loose tie. He just wanted to keep things simple. Just when May thought to change, she realized Drew was in there too.

"Drew, get out! Can't you see I need to change?" yelled May

"Calm down, as if I ever wanted to stay" said Drew and left, closing the door. He would change after May. Once May was out, Drew went in and put on his costume. Both were ready. They looked at each other.

"Looking good" said Drew

"You're not bad either" said May smiling

Both headed to the stage. They found the talkative waitress waiting for them.

"Finally, you both are out. Now take this form and fill it. Don't leave a thing. It's for registering you guys. You do know that you can't enter without registering..." May and Drew took the form and already started filling it while the waitress was speaking away.

"...and you definitely have to use a writing tool to fill it in, oh! You're done already?" said the waitress when Drew handed her the form.

"Now wait here while I register you. The contest will start within a couple of minutes. I wish you luck, seal it with a kiss. Consider my tip, it may just make you win. But I'm pretty sure everybody will kiss at the end, so I don't know. But anyway, sit there and wait until you're called." said the waitress. Both May and Drew blushed when she said them to kiss at the end.

"Okay" said May and they both sat on a chair.

"You are couple number 5, okay? Be ready when they call you. Try to do your best. I'm cheering for everyone. How cool is it to win a free room. I know, our restaurant is just awesome like that" the waitress said.

"Okay, yeah" said May.

After awhile...

"I really don't think we should do this" said Drew

"You think so?" asked May kind of in sad tone. She liked to dance and dancing for winning a room sounded cool to her.

"I'm mean not really but it's really stupid to dance to get a room. This is a weird restaurant." said Drew

"But I think it's awesome because we can get a free room just for dancing" said May cheerfully.

"Yeah" replied Drew nonchalantly

"And now our contest is going to start" said the announcer. There were really few people as the audience as it was already 10pm. "Couple number 1, please come over" called the announcer. There were about ten couple competing.

After a couple of dances (a/n- no pun intended lol!), it was May and Drew's turn. They both really didn't know to tango. In fact, it was their first time.

"You ready?" asked Drew

"Yeah" May said.

The slow romantic music started to play. They were on the center of stage. Drew slid his arms around May's waist. May blushed scarlet red which was obviously visible. Drew blushed too. They both held each other and started to move slowly. It seemed perfect. They both secretly liked each other and they were surely enjoying this. Their faces were so close and they could feel each other's hot breath. May put her arms around Drew's neck. If it wasn't for them to dance, they could've just kissed. May and Drew were blushing madly. They just danced the night away! Then they realized the music stopped.

"Wow, that was an amazingly romantic performance" said the announcer. Both May and Drew blushed again and returned to their seats. They just remained silent. The waitress came up to them.

"Wow you both were cute. Look I already told you that you were a cute couple. You totally did great out there. But you didn't kiss, so I don't know but you guys just may win the free room. That was good. The fish too appreciate you two" said the waitress.

"Thanks" May said blushing. After awhile, the announcer started to say something.

"Okay, we've analyzed and the winner is couple no.5, May and Drew. Please applause for them. Couple no.5, come to the stage to get your room's key." said the announcer.

"Guys, that's you. Wow you actually won as I predicted. I guess I am physic!" said the waitress.

"Wait what, we won?" asked Drew

"Yes, you did win. Now go to the stage and get your key. Unbelievable that you won without kissing at the end" she said.

Both May and Drew went to the stage to get the room's key.

"Congrats. You both make the best couple. Always stay together. You can have free dinner and stay until tomorrow noon. Have a good time" said the announcer.

"Thank you" said May and Drew blushing.

"Yay, free dinner!" said May happily.

"Yeah, can't believe we actually won" said Drew.

"Take a seat here, I'll get you raspberry ripple ice cream with some lasagne and wine" said the waitress. May and Drew sat in the restaurant. The waitress served them their free food.

"Looks good" said May

"Sure does" said Drew

May started to dig in while Drew kept thinking, he stared at May but he wasn't gawping at her. May noticed him not eating his food.

"What's wrong" she asked.

What's wrong with Drew? What's going to happen next?

Wait for the next chapter to know!
