Chapter 112 - The Real Surprise (2/2)
They stayed next to each other for a short while saying nothing as they enjoyed the quiet moment. After Felicia once again gave a playful smile as she poked his side. She pulled out her phone as Peter turned to her.
”I don't know who your hacker friend is but….” Felicia waved her phone in front of Peter's face, showing the stupefied visage of Peter taken just 30 minutes ago. ”She truly knows her timing and how to pull off a joke.” She paused for a second and scrutinized the photo. ”Though I have no clue how she got such a high vantage to get such a clear photo. I mean look at the bug eyed look you have. Haha”
*Urhg* Peter shook his head wearily as he let out a groan looking at the photo, slamming his head on the table it looked like his soul was about to leave his body. He didn't even bother trying to take her phone and deleting it, he knew Crystal had already saved copies to multiple sites, with encryption that no one could break. Seeing his reaction only made Felicia laugh harder.
They passed a few more ribs at each other as Felicia waved the photo about, before Peter finally had enough. Downing his now cooled coffee in one shot he stood up abruptly and dragged her out of the Café.
They got a few raised eyebrows as they left, specifically one from a certain barrister and a few knowing smirks seeing the two leaving, but they turned back to what they were doing after a few seconds. Once outside Peter continued to drag Felicia along as he spoke. ”I believe someone was going to show where our new apartment was. I hope it has a nice balcony I can come and go from, plus good privacy.”
Not looking at her at the time, he didn't see the small smirk that crossed her lips. ”Mmm Maybe.” Peter stopped for a second at the response to look at her, he didn't exactly like that shifting tone, there was a foreboding feeling that welled up inside him as he looked at her.
Turning and not willing to tempt fate Peter continued to drag Felicia away, but just before he turned the corner Peter cast one last glance at the coffee shop they just left, hoping to come back another day. His eyes locked onto the sign board above it and he stopped in place for a few seconds.
Stacy's: The one cup of Jo to rule them all
Peter right then at the moment couldn't help but think. 'Is the world just messing with me on purpose now?' and the thoughts would be proven wrong just 10 minutes later as Felicia showed him her new apartment.
Looking up at the sprawling tower before him, with the emboldened 'A' jutting out for the world to see, Peter stood stock still in front of Avengers tower, his jaw slightly unhinged, flapping open. Looking down from the building to Felicia who had a teasing smirk on her lips, then back to the building, he repeated the action a few times before she spoke up in a sickeningly sweet voice. ”Welcome to our new pad Petey.”
Peter was at a loss for words as he turned back to Felicia one more time, he just caught sight of her putting her phone back in her pocket and knew she had just taken a snap. His expression soured as he pouted at her. To add salt to his wound the small voice of Crystal pinged in his ear. ”Surprise.”
”Oh F.u.c.k you Crystal.”
