Chapter 132 - Door (1/2)
They were still inside the strange illusion and moving around the crowd. However, the only difference is that two crazy youngsters had fire coming from their eyes.
”I will not let you win, you crazy tomato hair!”
”HA… you are talking to me, little sunshine? I bet you won't even have the time to breathe my dust when I leave you behind.”
”Are you out of your mind? You are the one that will only see a flash before your eyes when I finish this stupid game.”
”HA… then do you care for a bet?”
”I always care for a bet, bring it on, stupid tomato hair.”
”Stupid banana peel head.”
”You!”
”What?!”
The two idiots that didn't have anything to do with the mission were more fired up than the real competitors. They were even making strange bets…
”Beth… wait…” Matheo was worried about the degree of competitiveness Beth can take out. She was even claiming now that she was the Queen of the world and will demand the shiny hair young man to kneel before her to kiss her shoe every morning for a week.
The young boy was also shameless in his request, he wanted to eat a chocolate box in front of her without her batting an eye. How cruel.
”I can believe you are requesting that… you know I can't… ” Beth was now feeling destroyed. There was no way she can accept that kind of torture.
John knew it, ”then… you will have to follow everything I request for a day.”
He smirked when she nodded without any choice. It was that or cruel but sweet torture.
”I will do that…” Beth was now returning to the arms of his dear Henry. She needed strength after such a terrible blow to her shameless heart.
Henry ċȧrėssed her hair and sighed, ”don't worry, my dear, we will win.”
”Yes, I know,” Beth smiled and then turned to see the other couple to show off her loving affection. However, now that John had his lover beside him, what kind of dog food can be thrown at him.
They were already kissing and is not in a sweet and modest manner. Beth could only open her mouth in a big O and hid her face inside Henry's ċhėst.
”That… Henry… we… we should go first,” she was still hidden inside his ċhėst and distracted with her own thoughts that she failed to notice that Henry was also in a flushed state.
Henry nodded and grabbed Beth's hand to run away from the scene before them. Matheo tried to follow them but he couldn't when they ran away as if they were chased. ”Sigh… they left me, a single dog here in the middle of people.”
”Whe… where should we start?” Henry asked when Beth was still looking at her feet with red in her ears and cheeks. ”Beth?”
”Henry, why are we not… we are… a couple, right?”
Henry nodded, ”yes.”
”Then… why are we not like them?”
”What… what do you mean?”
He was nervous. It was obvious what kind of couple were the two on the other side of the maze. The kind of affectionous couple that didn't mind showing off how close they were.
”We hadn't gone to a date, and… and you hadn't met my grandpa… and Gandalf… also…” she blinked her eyes shyly, ”you hadn't entered my room.”
That moment his mind blew up with smoke coming from his ears.
”Don't you like me?”
”I like you!” he pushed to the one wall, ”I like you so much, but I don't want this to be so casual… I want to have you by my side forever.”
Beth blushed even more. It was as if her heart had reached her face and suddenly flowers were raining in the background.
”Are you sure?” she asked while stepping closer to him.
Henry nodded, ”I had always been sure,” he said as he stepped closer to her. ”I had always felt this way.”
”Me too,” they were now one inch apart from each other. When… ”I have the answer!”
She took Henry's hand and ran after one man with a strange symbol in the back of his jacket. However, she was not the only one who had discovered him, but John was also running after that man. He was the only one who ran because Billy didn't have the energy to move. After all, his health and condition weren't that impressive as John's.
”You stop it, you banana peel hair!”
