“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Tessa and Robert screamed
The woman brou-ght out a knife and began chasing them.
Robert caught Tessa’s hand and tried running away from the woman. He saw a little spot where they could hide. Without wasting time, he pulled Tessa into the hiding.
Robert released Tessa and placed his hand on his chest catching his breath. Tessa too was busy catching her breath.
“Thought you said you weren’t scared” Tessa mocked, breathing heavily…
She peeped out and could see nothing scary.
“Let’s go, I really wanna win this game” Tessa said but got no reply.
“Robert! Let’s go!!” She said, still looking out of their hiding.
Tessa frowned and looked at Robert. She furrowed her brows seeing him staring at her..
“Why are you staring at me like that? It’s creepy” Tessa frowned.
Robert on the hand was busy staring at her. Now that he looks closely at her, she’s not that bad in fact she’s pretty. His gaze traveled and stopped at her li-ps. He could see it moving but he couldn’t hear what she was saying.
“It’s official, you’ve gone nuts! I’m leaving!” Tessa said and rolled eyes then made to leave but he pulled her back and pinned her on the wall with both hands above her head.
“What do-”
She was cut short when Robert crashed his li-ps on her. Her eyes wide-ned almost popping out, this makes it the third time.
Robert ki-ssed her like his life depended on it, su-cking on her lower li-ps. Tessa tried to free herself but his grip on her was tight.
Robert bit her lower li-ps making her gasp. He used that opportunity to su-ckon her tongue. Robert pulled away when he heard her sniff.
He was surprised to see her in tears.
“Tessa…”
She pushed him away and ran off not minding if she’s in the haunted house.
**********
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!” Emma screamed and buried her face in Romeo’s jacket.
Romeo laughed seeing that she was scared of the spiders.
“Hey, those are just decorations” Romeo said softly.
“How far are you sure. When I was a kid I heard that they killed people here” Emma said still clinging onto Romeo.
“Those are just tales, they aren’t real” Romeo said and held her hand they continued walking.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!” They heard an earsplitting scream.
“Who could it be?” Romeo said.
“I have no idea” Emma replied.
*******
“I’m dying…Britt!” Chi said breathlessly.
The scream was coming from Brittany. Right now, she was on Chi with her legs clamped tightly round his wa-istand her arms holding his neck tightly, almost suffocating him.
“Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!” She screamed again when she saw crawling skeleton hands.
“Abeg,,,,release my neck naw. I’m dying!!” Chi said already red.
He forcefully removed her hand from his neck and placed her down. The skeleton hand touched her legs….
“Ahhhhhh!!!!!!” She released another scream and jumped on Chi. Chi now carried her in a bridal style.
“This one better” Chi said and began walking with her to the exit. Only God knows how happy he was at that time, Brittany clinging onto him was so…gosh!!
*******
“You’re not scared. How come??” Presh said surprisingly, following behind Olive.
“Ehen na!! Haunted house are just kid’s play” Olive said proudly walking in front.
Presh picked a stick with a smirk on his face.
“I’m coming for you!!!” Presh screamed while placing the stick on her shoulder.
“Mummy!!!!!” Olive screamed her lungs out.
Presh threw the stick and laughed boisterously while holding his belly.
“You were saying?” He laughed.
“I hate you!!” Olive said and threw the stick at him.
“Ouch…and I love you too” Presh winked at her. He walked up to her then held her waist.
“F*ck those Jordan’s play tickets. I even bought us the ticket so we can go even if we loose” Presh said and lifted her up then placed her on a place where she could sit. He stood in between her legs.
“What I want right now is those li-ps on mine” Presh said and claimed her li-ps. Olive dipped her hands in his curly hairs, ki-ssing him back too.
*******
“Finally!!” Brittany exclaimed and got down from Chi as they walked out of the haunted house.
“Don’t you dare tell anyone that I touched you” She muttered.
Chi blobbed his head up and down then made a zip sign with his hand on his li-ps.
“Thanks anyways” Brittany said and rushed to Melissa and Johnson.
“Who won?” Brittany asked.
“Tasha and Linc” Johnson said gesturing and Linc and Tasha who were out already.
“Too bad!” Brittany frowned and went away…
Emma and Romeo were the next to come out.
“Finally, I can see the clear blue sky” Emma sighed in relief.
Romeo chuckled and pinched her nose.
“I love your scared side by the way” He smiled.
Linc saw that looked away, he stood up and went elsewhere other than there.
Carl and Angel walked out with Carl giving Angel a piggy back. Surprisingly, Carl wasn’t scared at all. Angel thought he will be but he proved her otherwise.
The next person to follow was Bolu and Percy. Well they got lost into the haunted house…
“Where’s Olive and Presh?” Romeo asked.
“Probably ki-ssing somewhere” Emma replied.
“My worry is where is Robert and Tessa?” Emma said worriedly…
**********
Tessa was sitting at a secluded area. She hug-ged her knees to herself with her mind far away…
“Why did he ki-ss me?” She said to no one in particular.
“Well duh…maybe it’s just to get back at you for locking him up outside. Or maybe…. he likes you” Her subconscious mind said to her.
“Likes me? Who likes his enemy?!” Tessa snapped at herself.
“Well if the enemy is cute and beautiful then yes” Her subconscious mind replied to her.
Tessa scoffed loudly….
“Even if it’s true, He’s just wasting his time. After all what he did to me?” Tessa said.
Well that was just the reason why she cried earlier. The thought of Robert, the reason why her life was a mess, Robert her worst enemy ki-ssing her. That just got her angry the more…
She dipped her hands in her hair and gro-aned loudly.
“I’m going crazy…Talking to myself,,,,gosh!!” She gro-aned.
Robert heard voices coming from there so he walked to the direction. He peeped in and saw Tessa sitting by herself with her hands dipped in her hairs. Finally, he has found her.
Robert walked closer to her then sat down beside her. She looked at him for a while before looking elsewhere. What followed was a moment of silence.
“Tessa” Robert finally spoke. Tessa looked at him…
“Tessa, I’m tired. I’m sick and tired of this st*pid enmity between us, I’m also tired of being the bad guy in the story. Where will all these lead me to?” Robert said and sighed.
He looked at Tessa…
“I’m sorry” He said slowly while looking de-ep into her eyes.
“Sorry for?” Tessa asked with a frown on her face.
“I’m sorry for everything. Sorry for sending you to jail, for making you hit your friend, for making your family hate and disown you and…for stealing your first and second ki-ss though I’m not really sorry about the last one” Robert shrugged.
“What?! Alright for your information you also stole my third ki-ss” Tessa frowned.
“I still don’t care. That’s your punishment for almost killing me last night” Robert said.
Tessa laughed…
“I just left you for 20mins and you wanted to die. You’re such a weakling” Tessa said.
Robert smiled and got serious again.
“I promise I’ll fix everything once we get back home” Robert said.
Tessa looked at him for a while then sighed and looked elsewhere…
“Alright, I forgive you just stop saying sorry that is really scary coming from you” Tessa said.
Robert laughed and stretched his hand forward.
“So…friends?” He said.
“Friends…well partial friends” Tessa said.
“C’mon, let’s join the others” Robert said and stood up. Tessa stood too and they began walking to the entrance.
Robert pulled her hair from behind.
“Hey! Thought you said you have changed?” Tessa frowned rubbing her head.
“What?! People don’t change over night, I have to made baby steps first” Robert shrugged…
******
Presh and Olive walked out with their hands intertwined together. Emma became more worried.
“Oh no! We need to call the cops, I’m sure they must killed each other by now” Emma said worriedly.
“Or not…”Romeo said with an expression of shock on his face.
Emma followed his line of vision and what she saw too made her jaw drop.
Robert and Tessa were coming out of the haunted house while discussing together with Tessa picking at Robert who was smiling.
“Someone pinch me for I’m dreaming…” She gushed…
“Babe, I’ll be back. Need to get some cotton candy over there” Olive said.
Presh nodded and ki-ssed her hand before releasing it. Olive rushed to the cotton candy stand. They were some people there so it took time before reaching her turn.
“Two cotton candy please?” She said removing money from her pocket.
“Here miss” A man said.
She looked up to take the cotton candy and froze when she saw the person’s face. This was the last person she’ll ever wish to see…
“Laycon?”
