Chapter 794 - Wedding party (J&J) (7) (1/2)
Melodie and Kyra glared at JoAnna while thinking, what did she do to deserve a man like Jeffrey White to dote on her so much?
Kyra reminded herself to stay neutral and to fix her expression, but Melodie was still giving JoAnna an evil eye when JoAnna turned toward them.
JoAnna innocently smiled while her eyes moved from Melodie to Kyra. ”So… what is the wager? Money? Things? I don't have much money or things, and I am still not comfortable using my husband's… how about loser does something? You know, when I was a kid, I played with my sisters and whenever we competed, the loser had to get on all four and bark like a dog… but we are big girls now, and that will be way too embarrassing. I am afraid that if I end up in such a situation, Jeff will ask for a divorce right away and I can't allow that. Do you have any suggestions?”
Kyra shoot a glance at Melodie, but seeing that Melodie is not responding, Kyra spoke: ”I think that is interesting. What do you think, Melodie?”
Melodie is not aware at what point she ended up accepting this ridiculous competition which involves loser to go on all four and bark. They even shook hands on it! But she knows that there is no way she will lose.
”Melodie, please, go first. It will help me see how to use this gun.”, JoAnna shamelessly lied.
Jeff hid his laugh behind a cough.
Kyra whispered something with Melodie and then acted like an officiator: ”Cylinder holds five bullets. So you get five shots. Highest sum of five shots wins the competition. Melodie will go first.”
Melodie put the bullets in the magazine, took her position and aimed…
BANG!
”9.5”, Kyra read from the electronic board.
Audience cheered.
BANG!
”9.4”
Another round of cheers came.
BANG!
”9.7!”, Kyra raised her voice in excitement.
The cheers got louder.
BANG!
”9.3”
BANG!
Melodie turned toward Kyra with a confident smirk on her face.
”9.9”, Kyra read the last score and announced: ”Melodie Wright has a total score of 47.8”
JoAnna had to admit, considering the pistol Melodie is using, that is a pretty good score. It's just her bad luck that she decided to challenge JoAnna.
JoAnna clapped enthusiastically with the rest of the spectators before skipping toward Jeff. ”Can I have a good luck kiss?”
Kyra closed her eyes and exhaled in frustration. Why does she need to watch two of them kissing? Again!
Melodie's smile faded. She looked away dejectedly. It seemed like that kiss lasted forever.
”Melodie, can you help me put the bullets in the gun?”, JoAnna sweetly asked.
Melodie forced a smile while thinking how soon she will get to see this blasted woman barking in front of Jeffrey. Then Jeffrey will see how pitiful she is… and how he made a wrong choice. Who wants to be married to a dog?
JoAnna held the loaded gun and shook her arms carelessly for few seconds.
Jeff smiled. JoAnna might look like she is carelessly shaking her arms, but he saw her shift the gun in her palm… she was getting used to its weight. He was pleased with himself that he noticed that. It seems that all this time with JoAnna and going with her for shooting made him learn few things.
JoAnna took a deep breath and aimed at the target next to the one Melodie used.
BANG!
”9.6”, Kyra read from the electronic board. She was unable to hide her surprise by this score. 'How is this possible?'
The only one more surprised than Kyra was Melodie. Her mouth was slightly open.
