Chapter Twenty Five
"Honey are you sure you wanna do this?" Laura asked Shelly for the tenth time today.
They had woken up this morning to a heartily breakfast prepared by Shelly and now she was taking them out on a game organized in the village.
Today is dedicated to family every year and Shelly intended to make the most of it by carrying everyone along. Her supposed parents, her boyfriend and of course Kiara.
After Kiara's trust in her by telling her the mysterious circumstances surrounding her child's birth, their friendship bond had been strengthened even more and Shelly on the other hand had decided to make the most of her time by enjoying in every universe she finds herself in.
"Yes mom. I wanna hang out with you guys." Shelly smiled at them.
Kiara eyed her suspiciously then turned towards Ace, "Do you feel sometimes as if your girlfriend is an alien?"
Shelly glared daggers at her while waiting for Ace response. Ac
Chapter Twenty Six"I c...can't b... blive I was talked into this!"Shelly kept a straight face to prevent herself from bursting into laughter and gulping in some of the mud water."Yer dink is onny," Cindy gulped in more of the water."Perhaps if you keep quiet you wouldn't drink so much water, Miss Cindy." Someone in the crowd chuckled."Damn you!" Cindy swore loudly and gulping water again.Ignoring everyone, Shelly raced to the finish line and swam out of the water diving into the neat swimming pool where she washed herself off. Then she returned to begin cheering for her family."You can do it, Kiara. Race to the finish line, Ace. Just one more person and we will advance to the next stage!"A voice boomed from the megaphone. "Thirty seconds left to the end of this round."Huffing and panting, Ace and Chase emerged at the same time diving into the swimming pool while Kiara followed suit. The timer
Chapter Twenty Seven"This is the final phase of this competition. We have only two stages left with ten families. The first five to finish in this 4th stage will proceed to the final stage. Good luck families."Cindy grimaced as she listened to the voice. "I thought this competition was over!"Shelly smirked at her. "This is far from over, Princess."Kiara clapped her hands excitedly, "I wonder what the next stage will be?""No need to wonder anymore," Luke clapped his hands excitedly."Mr Lucas I don't think that there's anything to be excited about us being stoned to the floor with puffy balls," Roy shook his head looking rather apprehensive."No uh, it's Luke not Lucas. Lucas makes me feel old so I go by Luke now," he explained.Roy looked a bit taken aback. "Pardon?""I'm explaining why my name isn't called Lucas again," he beamed happily."But... I... Not... Competition..." Roy stammered totall
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
