Chapter Twenty Eight
"It's a tie?!" Shelly asked surprised.
"Oh my freaking bananas! We're tied with The Rivals!" Cindy looked ready to explode as she stared at The smirking face of The Rivals.
"How is this possible?" Kiara asked.
"Don't you get it losers, we won the competition just like you guys," the rivals mom smirked.
"We are going to need to break the tie by another competition," the announcer continued, "your both families will be competiting for the ultimate price."
"What's the competition about?" Laura asked slightly irritated.
"Patience, woman." Luke growled. He was grinding his teeth and seething with rage. He would show The Rivals who the real losers were.
Ace, Chase and Roy watched the scene with a bored expression. The announcer had a way of making things boring before he would break the ice and right now the ice they were waiting for was the type of contest they were going to do to prove that
Chapter Twenty Nine"I'm not going daddy and you can't make me!"Shelly rolled her eyes. Here we go again with the princess being so annoying. Who cares if she joins them for the trip or not. All that mattered is that she had actually done it. They had won the plane tickets for a family vacation."Princess, it's not compulsory for you to go alright." Roy patted his daughter's hair.She smiled. "Oh, of course then. Let's be on our way."Chase shrinked back from her. "Uhm you go ahead first."She glared daggers at him and turned towards her dad expectantly. "Daddy?""Baby girl run along. The driver will take you home," he said."What about you?" She asked surprised."Oh, I and Chase will join the Hillarys for a little family dinner and rejoicing then we'll discuss where we are gonna go for the vacation," he replied casually.Cindy saw red. "What! You're going for the vacation with... them?"
Chapter ThirtyShelly couldn't help herself or the happiness that blossomed deep within her heart. For once she actually felt at peace and couldn't keep the smile off her face."I believe I'm the reason for your smile." She heard his voice and allowed him to engulf her in a hug from behind. "I missed you," he murmered nibbling on her ear.She giggled. "Stop it, Ace we're in a public place."He gave her a blank stare, "Does it look like I care?"Someone laughed from behind them. "Oh, the joys of young love."Shelly rolled her eyes. It's been two days since her passionate night with Ace and since she had refused to tell Kiara anything about it, Kiara hadn't stopped teasing her any chance she got. Even if it was in an airport filled with trillions of people.Yes, they were in an airport. They had just arrived at Hawaii not up to ten minutes. They were waiting for the others in the arrival terminal as they waited for them to
Chapter Thirty OneWhat happened in the sauna stays in the sauna. And yet, Shelly could not wipe off the giggling or the color that rosed to her cheeks each time Ace stared intently at her. She felt like he could see through her and see all her fantasies she had about him. The experience he gave him in the sauna was just a tip of the iceberg, according to him but if the tip was intoxicating as that how will the main iceberg be, literally speaking."Ugh! I'm sick of seeing your smiling face."Shelly turned towards Cindy, glaring daggers at her. "Then stare elsewhere.""I wish!" She sighed longingly, "This place is boring as fuck!!""No swearing on the dinner table, Cindy." Roy scolded her.They were all seated to dinner in front of the beach and having a splendid meal of sea food and cocktails."Sorry," she mumbled.Shelly ate her food quietly avoiding the curious stare of Kiara and avoiding her boyfriend lovey dov
Chapter Thirty TwoRight there with her friends basking in the evening moonlight and having an uninterrupted conversation without Cindy in it, already deciding that this vacation was the best vacation ever some group of miscrents decided to ruin it for her by revving a motorcycle around them thereby turning them into sand monsters!"Wow! That is so cool!!" She heard a young boy's excited voice.Yeah, he'll see how cool my fist is! She grinned inwardly as she cleared the sand away from her body. Turning towards her friends she saw they were totally unscathed from the sand attack."Don't look at me, look at me." Kiara smirked raising her hands in defense staring at the direction of the engine revving.Shelly turned towards the direction she was staring at and saw a guy jump down from the bike, remove his helmet and shake his blond curls. Even from a distance she knew he had the type of bad boy look, a high school heart breaker. He was d
Chapter Thirty ThreeShelly walked away from the camp fire and went inside, one of the crew members had told her that she was being needed inside by Faye.Walking quietly and listening to the sound of the breeze as it blew softly around her, Shelly entered the first room on her right__according to the directions she received__ she walked in and shivered at the coldness of everywhere. She had barely entered when the door was banged closed and locked with a click.She felt goosebumps rise on her arm and struggled to take out her phone.She finally brought out her phone and turned on the torch light and gave a blood cuddling scream when she realized someone was standing in front of her.Surprised and amused, Faye finally turned on the light. A brightness of white light flooded the room momentarily blinding Shelly."You're no fun!" Faye pouted before taking her phone from her.Shelly groaned rubbing her eyes, "I was sc
Chapter Thirty Four"Honey, it's not a good idea for you to go with them."If looks could kill right now, Roy Champman would be six feet under with the looks his daughter gave him. Cindy had just arrived with the others and told her dad she was going camping and he had tried to stop her__only her and not any other person. How annoying!"Daddy," she called smiling sweetly yet her eyes spoke volumes, it showed anger and embarrassment.Roy was not in the least perturbed, "yes dear.""I. Can. Take. Care. Of. My. Bloody. Self!" She gritted her teeth, cheeks flushing.Roy chuckled. "Alright, Chase take care of my daughter."Ignoring her protests, the rest of the group left her.Shelly walked hands entwined with her boyfriend as she scanned the number of people going camping with them. They were 13 in number and they were all couples except Faye that was walking alone in front. She felt slightly guilty for not trying to
Chapter Thirty Five"I'll go with you to find her," Shelly offered immediately. She had no idea why she had blurted that out but deep down she was very worried about Cindy."We'll all go look for her," Logan added."Nah," Faye who was just joining them objected, "someone needs to be here guiding our camp site and tents.""She makes a good point," Ace agreed, "so I'll go with you guys."Logan stared at them for awhile before nodding."Be careful," Kiara said letting her go reluctantly, "I don't know why you wanna go find her."Shelly smiled. "That's a story for another."~~~~*She left with the two guys, Chase was right in front of them while she and Ace trudged behind. Her heart was racing at the possible thing that could have happened to Cindy and she hoped nothing has happened.They kept walking together till they came to a cross road divided into three.Chase gav
Chapter Thirty SixTurns out both the boys and the bears didn't find them on time but that was supposed to be a good thing right, so why was she feeling so sad. Maybe being so close to her sworn enemy could do that to her, Shelly thought as she stared at Cindy sitting on the ground doing nothing."Come help me," she grumbled at her.Cindy just stared at her blankly before lying down on the grass. "There is nothing to help with."Shelly glared at her. "I'm trying to make fire so it will alert them of our presence."Cindy shrugged. "I still think it's a bad idea. The bear could come for us."Shelly paused to think for a second before she continued arranging the woods. Cindy muttered under her breath while ignoring Shelly."Why you never listen baffles me," Cindy mumbled."You are the one who's not listening," Shelly snapped, "we are supposed to be working together.""We?" Cindy gave her an incredulous look, "
