Chapter 47 The bet
Chapter 47 The bet
"We should join them soon, before Ace decides to come here himself…"
All three of them stood up and joined them to play different games which went down with Rachel
and Yandel being all competitive with each, and it wasn't the cute type of competition, it was the
competitive bitterness when the other lost. They left the glow hockey and finally decided to go to the
bowling alley section when they formed three groups, Amy and Ricky, Yandel, Rachel and Ace and the
twins, they debated having an official lunch before or after the game but then after the game won the
vote and the team with the lowest points got to pay for lunch. Yandel and Rachel went to get the
bowling shoes for them while the rest waited by the benches close to the pit.
"Hey afternoon ma'am" Yandel greeted the mid fifty looking woman behind the counter, he didn't
expect such an elderly woman to work in a place like this, at léast not the counter.
"I know what you are thinking, I'm just covering for my son who had an accident, he doesn't know
I'm doing this, he needs this money for the bike he so badly wants to buy," The woman smiled so
genuinely melted his heart and brought some tears to Rachel's eyes.
"That's so sweet of you ma'am, I hope he gets better soon," Yandel said.
"Yeah, we wish him a very quick recovery," Rachel added.
"Thank you so much," The woman replied.
"My name is Angela by the way, how can I help you today?," the woman asked.
"I'm Yandel, and this is Araceli," Yandel introduced.
"We will like three size forty three and three size forty," Yandel ordered.
"Alright then, I will get it for you right away," Angela went to the back of the counter. She came out
with a rack holding six pairs of shoes.
"Thanks so much," Yandel said, collecting it from her.
"You are welcome dear," Angela smiled sweetly at them as they took the shoes back to the group,
Emily and ethan were talking to Ace who seemed to be explain something and from his over
exaggerated hand description, it was probably one of his favorite movies, probably spider man or some
marvel movie or the movie with dinosaur.
"I see y'all getting along fine," Rachel said, staring at Ace who still had all of Ethan's attention
wrapped around his little hands and Emily was just laughing.
"Hey Araceli, you brother is so OP," Ethan said, patting Ace's back.
"So you guys saw the lego movie together?,"
"When were you gonna tell us?," Emily asked, folding her hands, staring at Yandel who had a
nervous smile on his face.
"Ok seems like some quality family drama so I'll just go meet Amy and Rick, I have had my fair
share of family drama," Rachel said, with the intent of slipping away trying to avoid the ongoing drama.
"Oh no, stay right here Araceli," Emily said, looking at her mischievously.
"It's best you don't cross her or make her more pissed," Yandel whispered in Rachel's ear. Rick
and Amy came closer as they saw that Yandel and Araceli were being apprehended.
"TELL ME ALL THE JUICY NOW," Emily emphasized on every word, she never knew that her
brother had gone on a date already and he didn't even think of telling her.
"It wasn't really a date," Rachel said, trying to clear the air, she had a very scary aura for someone
who smiled so sweetly at her just a few minutes before.
" Yeah, It wasn't a date," Yandel agreed.
"Oh so you guys just happened to meet up at the same cinema and watched the same movie
huh?," Emily said, getting her nerves stepped on pissed her off.
"Well the thing is that Ace and I were going to watch The Lego Movie while we met Yandel and
Maya there who were also going to see a different movie and somehow we ended up watching the
same movie with a very pissed off Maya," Rachel explained.
"I swear it wasn't a date even though it sounded like it," Rachel added.
"Exactly what she….Wait what?!!!" Yandel pursed as he processed everything she said, especially
the maya part, "What the hell do you mean by a very pissed off Maya?," Yandel asked.
"Ohh so he still hasn't figured it out, has he?," Emily said, slapping her hands on her forehead as
she shakes her head side to side.
"I don't think he has figured it out," Rachel said, chuckling sadly.
"Figured what out, what the hell are you guys talking about?," Yandel asked, looking between
Emily and Araceli.
"Maya likes you dumbo, she has always liked you if not been in love with you since we were kids,"
Emily said, rolling her eyes to how dumb her brother could be at times.
"What do you mean Maya likes me, she's like a sister to me, she has been my best friend since we
were six," Yandel laughed incredulously at the silly claims.
"Wow Yandel…"
"How could you not see it, she literally moved half of the world to school in the same boarding
school with you in london, she always made you guys wear a couples costume every halloween, she
turned down every guy in homecoming and prom to stay with you just because you didn't want to go,
she abandoned cooking school which was her dream to apply business school and after that she
always wanted to be around you and fanned off every girl that came for you," Emily got tired of listing
the ever going list of signs that Maya was into her brother.
"The way she looks at you whenever you are dressed and you are going to work!!" Emily
exclaimed.
"Wow...you are right, he really is dense" Amy said to Rick who just collect a Hundred bucks from
Amy and pocketed it, turned out Amy and Rick had a bet that Yandel was dense and was the kinda guy
who wouldn't even know when a girl was trying to get with him, he was just bound to remain oblivious
while Amy being sweet Amy thought he was just a little shy and needed a little push.
"Wait, you guys bet on my brother?," Emily asked, curiously.
"Yeah, we bet on everything, everybody"
"That's how we got some of our dinners and transport home," Ricky said, chuckling at the good old
times when they were both jobless and lived off ramen and Amy's handjob services in public restrooms.
"Damn, I like you guys already,"
"What did you guys bet on?," Emily asked.
"Well we had a conversation with Yandel…"
"I'm right here guy, Right fucking here" Yandel Deadpanned.
"Language Baldwin" Rachel warned, looking at Ace who was still engrossed in a conversation with
Ethan.
"Anddddd I made a bet that Yanny here was just dense and oblivious to signs and Amy here had
otherwise to say that he was just shy and needed a little push," Ricky said, laughing at a hundred dollar
less Amy who wasn't having any of Ricky's victory slap in the face, she headed to the bench to put on
her bowling shoes.
"Damn…" Rachel muttered.
"Alright, that said and done, we should start bowling, we only rented these shoes for an hour so we
should make most of it, instead of talking of Yandel's blindness," Amy said, as she stood up, she felt
the grip of her shoes and she got into her game mode, she has already lost a hundred buck to Ricky, Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
she couldn't afford to also pay the meals of seven people.
"Yeah, as much as I would like to scold her for being rude, I have to agree with her we need to
start this so we can eat because I'm already feeling like I can eat a whole zebra," Ricky said.
"Seriously??"
"You had three bowls of fries and two cans of coke," Rachel said, shocked that he could still feel
hunger again.
"What can I say, my metabolism works faster and helps me bet more accurately," Ricky said,
staring purposely at Amy who rolled her eyes and headed to take the first bowling ball.
"You are lucky we are in the same group, I would have loved to watch you pay for the meals," Amy
said, rolling the first one knocking all the pins down at one go.
"Well go thing you can play bowling because my skills are shit," Ricky said, blowing her a kiss just
to vex her.
The game went on with Amy and Ricky winning, leading with so many points that the last two
groups points added together still didn't reach their score. They went on for an extra hour and it was
already obvious that Yandel and Rachel were going to pay for their lunch because their skills were no
good, the only way they weren't going to pay for lunch was if they hit a complete knock down twice.
Yandel finally had his complete knock down which they both celebrated with a classic handshake
they made up when they started the game, Now it came down to Rachel making the shot, she felt him
come behind her trying to guide her to make the throw.
His breath down her neck made her skin tingle as she felt his heat radiating all over her, she
couldn't deny that she didn't like the feeling of having him hold her like that...
