Chapter 22: 21. School Festival
Aaron looked bored on the side while watching Zade and Wendy roaming around and trying every stall.
"Why don't you atleast have fun Aaron rather than looking after us like our Dad." Mary said as Aaron smirked.
"It's not like I wanted too but I don't have someone to enjoy this event." Aaron said as Mary cling on him.
"Then consider yourself lucky! I have a lot of free time now and you'll have me as your date for awhile." Mary said as Aaron sigh as he knew that she is persistent.
He already lost sight of Wendy and Zade.
"Where's Steel anyway?" Aaron asked as Mary smiled.
"Did you forgot? Steel was stuck on the mansion since you wanted him to work on some papers rather than enjoying our festival. Your so rude on him!" Mary said and Aaron was guilty.
He remembered how sad Steel looked like before he closes the office door.
Jayden wasn't around either to look after Mary since he will be performing tonight the bands are preparing on their equipments.
"Fine what do you want to do then?" Aaron asked as Mary grab him to the couples stall where there are a match made by couples and they have to do it together.
"I see..." Aaron said as he knew he will take a lot of time here with Mary rather than he thought.
"Ahhh we lost Aaron!" Wendy said as Zade smiled. "I think he's with Mary since Mary doesn't have Jayden today." Zade said and sent a message to Aaron.
"Ahhh what the hell is this type of game!" Aaron murmured as he was pissed since he cannot eat on his left hand because their hands are locked up together that is why Mary is feeding him some noddles.
Aaron was about to take a bite when Mary starts teasing him.
"Ehhh? I thought your good at this, you cannot even take a bite on this noodles." Mary smirked provoking Aaron as he was pissed by it and start eating fast like a monster.
'this is fun...' Mary whispered to herself as Zade and Wendy looked at how amazing those two winning the challenge easily.
Wendy and Zade also participated in this game and they are taking it lightly like how couple should, yet Mary and Aaron are competitive enough to win the challenge.
"Pfft those two, I didn't know they would had a chemistry together." Wendy said as Zade agreed.
Aaron had been more open about his emotions now and lately he become more friendly with others.
He even helped them passed their exams and it was a quiet growth on Aaron's side.
"Zade..." Wendy called as Zade looked at her.
*Wendy whispered something as Zade looked at her shock.
Aaron sight both Wendy and Zade and was about to go after them when Mary didn't let go of his hands.
"What are you doing?" Aaron asked as Mary smiled. "Let's go to the horror house." Mary said and grabs Aaron towards the Horror house.
'If I knew this thing would happen then I wouldn't have left Steel in that mansion. Mary is way too annoying!' Aaron said to himself yet erase it as he saw how Mary is having fun.
'I guess this person knows how to smile after all.' Aaron said to himself and smiled at Mary's enthusiasm as he grip her hands and walk towards the horror house.
'Knowing Aaron is such a crazy guy, He still have the hand of a man.' Mary said to herself and smiled.
"Waaaaaaahhhhhhhh Aaronnnnn!!!!!" Mary shouted since she's scared. "Your the one who wanted to go here and now you want to back out?" Aaron asked as Mary shake her head.
"I thought you'll be scared about this!" Mary said as Aaron lean on her. "You know that I've seen a lot worser scenario's like this right?" He asked.
An up coming monster was about to capture Mary when Aaron grab it's hand and throw him in the wall.
"Here I'll protect you." Aaron said as he holds Mary's hand.
Wendy and Zade finished their intimate session in the car as Zade looked at Wendy buttoning her polo.
"What?" Wendy asked as Zade laugh. "You're quite wild aren't you? Doing this things in a public place." Zade said as Wendy smirked.
"Well it's not wrong at all since your my husband right?" Wendy asked as Zade smiled and kisses her passionately.
"Yeah it wasn't babe."
"My game will start at noon, we can still have fun together at other booths." Wendy said as she stopped when she saw Jayden walking towards the gym.
'What is he doing? He cannot play basketball since he's a varsity.' Wendy thought as she knew something is going on.
Jayden was worried about his performance later and he cannot afford to disappoint Wendy at all cost.
"Jayden," Wendy called as he shoots the ball in the ring. Zade was outside waiting for them to finish talking.
"Why are you here Wendy?" Jayden asked since he didn't expect her to find him in the gym. "I saw you walking towards here, You got a lot in your plate aren't you?" Wendy asked as Jayden sat down in the court.
"How did you know?"
"Just like me who always avoid problems by sleeping, You play this game for you to calm down isn't?" Wendy said as Jayden sadly smiled.
'She knows me well that I don't even have to say a word for her to notice that I am not feeling well at all.' Jayden's thoughts are full about Wendy and Zade is perfectly awared by this.
Zade is aware that her wife is being admired by Jayden in a lot of ways.
"So do you mind sharing your problem?" Wendy asked as she sat down next to him.
The gym was silent since the students are busy with the booths so it was just the two of them sitting at the center of the court.
"I don't know if I'll do a god job in my upcoming performance later." Jayden said as Wendy looked at him. "Why would you say that?"
"I want to satisfy you with my performance, I don't want to disappoint you but I am so nervous right now even if I'm not in stage." Jayden said as Wendy laugh.
"Come on you silly, It doesn't matter if you do well or not. What matters here is you step out of your comfort zone." Wendy said as she pats Jayden's shoulder consoling him that it is fine to be nervous sometimes.
"Jayden," Wendy called. "Do you remember when Mary and you lost the bet to me and Aaron wasn't disappointed at all?" Wendy asked as Jayden nodded.
"Rather than being disappointed he was quite happy with the outcome of your exam results since it was the best result that you ever have." Wendy said as Zade smiled knowing how Jayden understands it now.
Zade sat on the bleacher without the two noticing.
"It was a fun experience after all." Jayden said as Wendy smiled. "Indeed just like how you and Mary worked hard on your practices to get you this far." Wendy said as Jayden smiled.
"This isn't about winning or loosing, This is about you having fun on new things." Wendy said as she stands up. "Loosen up a bit and enjoy the festival today. Mary will be looking foward on your performance." She added and Jayden was about to say something more when he saw Zade in the bleachers waiting for her.
'I see, even if I satisfy Wendy with my performance it doesn't change the fact that she's Zade's Wife now.' Jayden said as he wave sadly at Wendy.
In the horror house, Mary and Aaron were scolded by the staffs and students since they broke the rule of not touching the monsters.
Aaron just laugh since he had fun kicking their butts out of the way as Mary kept saying her sorry for Aaron's actions.
"You could atleast say your sorry." Mary said as Aaron smiled. "Why would I when it was part of my job to protect you." He said as Mary looked at him.
"I didn't quiet notice it since your always angry but you're quite handsome." Mary said her thoughts out loud as Aaron smirked.
"Really huh?" Aaron asked as Mary just covered her face. "I heard Jayden was your first kiss." Aaron said as Mary didn't respond.
"So you didn't count our kiss as your first kiss?" Aaron asked as Mary looked confused.
The night when Aaron told Mary that they will execute her father Mary didn't show any emotions as Aaron feel bad for her.
Aaron cannot disobey Zade's command and he is sure that her father will die sooner or later because of all the things he had done to his boss. It was quite thoughtful for Aaron to think about Mary at that time.
Jayden excuse himself for a bit as he gave time for Aaron and Mary to talk. Mary was just staring at a blank space as Aaron lean on her and kissed her on the lips for her to come back to reality.
Mary stared at Aaron as Aaron left the room without saying anything...
'THAT WASN'T A DREAM??????!!!!!'
