Chapter Fifty-Five ‘The Bet’
Charlene wasn’t going to let Edison off the hook. He hid from her after they left Jay and Selina. She didn’t mind. She was planning what she’s going to ask him to do and it sure won’t be something easy. Oh she’s going to be a naughty girl alright. She couldn’t wait.
Edison knew that Charlene was planning on how she was going to pay him back. He wished he didn’t make the stupid bet in the first place. He should have guessed that she would be determined to win but he was acting too cocky to realize that. He couldn’t hide from her forever, he thought to himself the next day. After all he had to drive her back to his parents. He then thought he might wait ‘till the afternoon since that’s when they will depart. So he went to one of the spare room at the bottom of the ship where it was deserted.
Charlene looked everywhere for Edison the next morning. He wasn’t in his room or at the deck. She asked everyone if they knew where he was. No one knows but their first thought was that he fell off the ship which they found hilarious. That would probably be the best thing he could do to stay away from her but she knew otherwise that he was somewhere on the ship. She didn’t mind. She could wait ‘till they get back to his parent’s mansion.
‘Char,’ a voice called out from behind. She turned to face Selina. ‘I just wanted to say thank you.’
‘Don’t be silly, you don’t have to thank me for nothing.’
‘But I do!’ she insisted. ‘If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have had the courage to face Jay.’
‘Yeah, well, he still is the Freaky Geeky Jay as always,’ she joked.
‘To you anyways,’ Selina said. ‘To me he's my…’
‘Virgin man,’ Charlene interrupted her to crack a joke.
‘You’re a virgin yourself,’ she pointed out.
‘True, but I’m a woman.’
The playful bickering went on ‘till afternoon came where everyone was packed and ready to leave. Charlene then got to see Edison who just climbed up at the deck. He kept his distance from her as they got off the ship and made their way to their cars. Charlene was already waiting at the passengers’ door for him. He disalarmed the car and unlocked the car for her while he was chatting to Louis and Jay. She climbed in. When Edison was finished he took his time putting the luggage away at the back and then finally he climbed in.
‘Hello,’ Charlene said. ‘You know I had the funniest idea that you had been avoiding me.’
‘Really?’ Edison said not meeting her eyes. ‘You must have got the wrong idea.’
‘Maybe,’ she was letting him off now. The journey back was silent. When they got to the mansion she broke the silence. ‘Guess what, Honey? The bet starts now. So what does that mean?’ Edison grumbled. ‘You betcha. You’re my slave for 24 hours.’
‘Can’t you just let it go?’ he moaned.
‘And not have fun?’ she asked. He gave her a puppy look. She felt sorry for him. ‘Aww, you poor thing,’ she cooed. Then, ‘Not a chance,’ in her normal voice.
His face dropped. ‘You can be so mean sometimes, you know?’ He muttered. She just laughed at him being a sore loser.
‘For that, baby, you get to carry me to the mansion,’ she ordered him. He grumbled some more. ‘Do you want to carry me all the way upstairs?’ She playfully threatened. He shut his mouth automatically and got out of the car. He walked to the passenger’s side and opened the door. He then picked her up and carried her. He slyly smiled at her. She knew he was going to try something at her. ‘On second thought I can walk actually.’
He laughed. ‘Not a chance,’ he copied what she said earlier.
‘You know if you try anything I’ll get you back, right?’ She warned him.
‘Yeah, yeah,’ He grinned. He pretended that she was heavy. He slowed his pace and pretended that she was slipping out of his arm. She screamed.
‘Let me down,’ she screamed. It only made him do it more. She grabbed hold of him tightly. He found her cute hugging him. He got inside the mansion and dropped her down on the couch. She jumped off the couch as he turned to walk away. She went after him to the stairs.
‘Hey I’m not finished with you,’ she complained. ‘I want some tea.’
He paused midway up the stairs. He turned and went face to face to her. ‘Yes, your majesty.’
He walked away disappearing in the kitchen. She smiled. He didn’t like her bossing him about. He wanted to be the boss of everything. But not for another 24 hours he won’t, she thought naughtily. She had time to plan what she’s going to ask him to do.
Voices were heard from outside. The front door opened and in came Edison’s family including Louis. Jay wasn’t here. He went with Selina to sort their relationship out and catch up for all the years they missed.
‘Where’s Edison?’ Mrs. Chen asked.
‘His in the kitchen making me a hot drink,’ she replied. ‘Would you like me to ask him to make you something?’ she added just for the sake of it. Mr. and Mrs. Chen were gaping at her dumbfounded.
‘Yeah,’ Michelle spoke up, amused by her brother making tea. ‘I’ll have black coffee
With two spoon of sugar.’
Just then Edison came holding a cup of tea. He stood frozen on his root when he saw his family. He didn’t want to be caught doing as Charlene asks in front of them. ‘Hi,’ he smiled nervously. He walked over to Charlene and handed her the cup.
‘I asked for coffee,’ she complained.
Edison gasped. ‘You asked for tea, I’m sure of it,’ he said.
‘I know what I said,’ she argued. ‘Now I want coffee with one sugar.’ He groaned and walked away ignoring his parents questioning stares. ‘And, honey,’ she called out. He stopped not turning to face her. ‘Michelle wants black coffee with two sugars.’ He then walked on cursing himself for getting into this mess. She sipped the tea grinning widely. His parents were watching her now. ‘Oh, did you want anything?’ she asked.
They didn’t reply but walked away. She shrugged her shoulder and turned to Michelle and Louis. ‘How come his putting up with you?’ Louis said feeling sorry for Edison.
Charlene glared at him. ‘What is that meant to be?’
Louis gulped. He realized what a big mistake he had just made. Not only was Charlene giving him murderous look but he was also getting it from his fiancée. ‘That you’re too good for him?’ he managed giving a sweet smile.
He took the opportunity of the silence saying a quick goodbye to Michelle and promising to call he left in haste.
Michelle chuckled. ‘You, girl, can make people scared, you know that?’
‘Me?’ she said a little taken aback. ‘I do not!’
‘Not intentionally,’ Michelle quickly corrected.
‘But I’m a nice person,’ she stopped when Edison came out of the kitchen holding a tray that had three mugs with some snack. He was trying to balance the tray. ‘Take it to the terrace,’ she ordered. Michelle lifted an eyebrow implying that this was what she meant. ‘This is different,’ she explained.
He huffed but did as he asked. He asked for this when he made the bet. He deserved everything he got. Next time he would just trust her and not interfere with her meddling. Ever again, he added.
Both Charlene and Michelle followed him. Charlene was feeling sorry and guilty for this whole thing. But she didn’t want to give in. She wanted to teach him not to bet with her again.
In the library she fell back on the chair and plopped her feet up on the couch. She took off her high-heeled sandals and rubbed her feet. ‘Edison, can you massage my feet?’
Edison had just put the tray down at the other end of the coffee table and was going to take a seat on the opposite chair to her and next to Michelle. He stood up but not before giving a pleading look to Michelle. She shrugged her shoulders. ‘I have to take a shower,’ she excused herself and left with her mug not wanting to get involved.
He hugged. ‘Thanks a lot,’ he muttered behind her. He went and sat next to Charlene and put her foot on his lap and began massaging.
‘Oooo,’ she groaned out loud. She shut her eyes tightly closed and tried not to groan pleasurably out loud.
He smiled down on her. He had been massaging her foot for five minutes. He didn’t realise it until she fell a sleep. Her head had fallen back on the armrest. She looked like an angel, he thought. He got up sliding her feet on the long couch and leaned forward. He was particularly on top of her. His knees were at each side of her hips and his hands were placed at each side of her head.
‘Hello, sleeping beauty,’ he whispered in her ear. ‘You need at kiss to wake you up,’ he said grinning wickedly ear to ear. ‘Pay back,’ he added.
Charlene was a light sleeper. When she felt someone on top of her she woke up but didn’t open her eyes. The only person it will be would be no other than Edison. She heard everything he said. Pay back, ey? She thought.
She could feel his warm breath on her. She then felt his lips on top of hers. She stopped herself from groaning out loud by his touch. She had to force herself from responding to his kisses, which was really hard for her. She couldn’t take it. She bit his lips making him pull back with a yelp but that only made him fall off her and off the couch to the floor.
‘Pay back?’ she laughed. ‘Ha!’
He touched his lips. ‘Oh you think that’s funny?’ he told her. He got up and got on top of her. She screamed but she kept ending up laughing. He was back at his position earlier. This time he was holding her hands down. He then began nuzzling her neck making her laugh louder. He was tickling her. That was one good way to get her back.
The plan to make her his slave didn’t go, as she wanted it. He wasn’t much of a co-operating person. He was more like in control than she was. At the end of the day he apologised and took her out in a romantic dinner. They talked about their wedding preparation.
When it was time to leave Jay and Michelle were sad that she was going. In the other hand his parents were relieved. After hugs and kisses they left. She was sad her holiday with him was over too quickly. But then she assured herself that she was going to stay with him for the rest of her life making herself feel better.
