469 Rubbing Sal (2/2)

”Wow! Cali is awesome! You're doing great. Kill all the enemies!”

Xiu leaned close to Dylan as she said, ”Oi! Stop doing that. You sound like a bloody cheerleader and that's annoying.”

”But I only trying to cheer my girl up,” retorted Dylan as he looked at the screen as Cali shot down another enemy. ”Oh, she's marvelous!

”She's only playing a game. She isn't in a war. Stop overreacting!”

”I'm overreacting?” asked Dylan and Xiu nodded. ”Okay.” His eyes wandered around as he set his target and said, ”Let's have a round of basketball. Whoever scored more will get a wish. Don't worry, my only wish is for you to get lost and let me spend some time with my girl!”

Xiu cracked her knuckles and stretched her neck saying, ”Bro, you'll regret it!”

Coming to the gaming arcade hall was Cali's idea but apparently, Xiu and Dylan had been having their own battles. Dylan was trying to kick Xiu away while Xiu was trying to become the century's best and biggest lightbulb!

Soon, they started on their bet and played the basketball game. It was already great for Dylan to score 58 in 60 seconds but Xiu knocked him down with her 61 scores. Dylan's shoulders slumped down while Xiu's face brightened up, ”Oh, poor you! I told you not to mess with me.”

”Let's do it with that shooting game.” Dylan wasn't gonna take it lying down. And Xiu would happily comply.

By the time, Cali noticed what was happening, Dylan had already lost three times in three different games from Xiu. Not only that, now Xiu had three wishes as well. And seeing the devilish smirk on her face, Dylan could tell he wasn't gonna have it easy.

”What are you both even trying to do?” Cali interrupted the staring battle between them. ”How can you childishly fight over this? It's just games. Take it easy! We are here for fun.”

Dylan held Cali's arm as he provoked Xiu, ”Yes, what good is it winning from me? If you have the guts, play with Cali. She's a basketball pro. She'll knock you down along with your arrogance!”

”Bro, I'd love to play with her but you see, I don't want to hurt her feelings. She's already feeling bad for having an incompetent boyfriend like you. Oh, wait. You're not even her boyfriend yet!”

Xiu's laughed got Dylan mad.

”How can you rub salt on my wounds?”
