Chapter 28

Fun can become a disaster in seconds.
You never know.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was sitting somewhere in this town, which I had called my country by the way, but the place is nowhere to be linked with me in my whole life. Still, I'm sitting here like a lost child with hairs juggled up all over up, face was red due to the sudden movements of a whole lot of running. And clothes? Well, let's not go there! Because I look like a freak! A complete freak

Still, when I heard the sound of breathing continuously humming near me, I came into the real whole shit of everything. Cole was sitting next to me. Looking like a complete idiot, with his clothes worn out from different places, his bottom lip was swollen, his eyes were red, and he had a mark of punch in there. Long in short he somewhat has beaten up.

As sensing my stare he looked into my eyes, all the anger he had was forming inside his raged body. I was expecting some swearing or some humiliating words from him.

But he is something else.

He hugged me," you will pay for this! Parker, you will have to do what I say, for the next three days! Understood." Ok, so what was that? I'm not going to do whatever he is going to say; in fact, I'll going to do the opposite of it. Because I've his video on my cell phone, His hug was tight, in fact, tight enough to hold my breath, and I was not ready for it. I nodded my head for his statement as he let go of me from his embrace.

And let me tell you one thing that hugs, is not what most people give us stares at, expecting something else.

It was awkward.

It was awkward.

It was awkward.

Did I mention that it was awkward?

Well. You must be wondering what the hell was going on here? And how did we end up like this? So a whole lot of crazy things happened due to Cole, and off-course somewhat of little me.

He is a jerk.

He is an idiot.

He is a bastard.

He is annoying.

He is sexy.

Shut up! Seriously, just shut up

Let me enlighten you what the hell happened, otherwise you'll act like me, and yeah I'm going crazy.

5 hours ago.

At the mall...

He was going to run away; I know that from his facial expressions, and with his trembling legs. But I can't let that happen, can I?

Obviously no!

"Hey. Cole doesn't feel embarrassed. You know; you are good at pole dancing aren't you?" I yelled with my toothy grin, and his reaction was priceless! As he wants to kill me at any moment, but that can't happen in this much crowd. Right?

Everyone has encircled him so that he can't run away from his place. He was bolted there like a wall of cement; never moving an inch from its form.

Something has to do. Otherwise, what was fun in his silence?

"Somebody, give him the microphone. He wants to thank you all the generous people here, who would have taken that much interest in his profile, and wants to see him doing pole dancing." I declared through a microphone, I know I shouldn't be afraid of anything because I'm far away from his embrace.

So, due to my high approach- Someone, from the staff members gave him the microphone. To hear his silky velvety rich voice.

Oh who I'm kidding? His arrogant voice, that bastard must learn a lesson from this! As he grabbed the microphone in his hands, tension increased in me. Why? Because his famous devilish smirk was back on his face, "fuck!" is the word he chose from his prestigious dictionary to yell.

And what the worst thing was? Here, the crowd can get offended by this! When you ask them to do wait for the entertainment, to enjoy in their prestigious time, but in return, they hear some not so good words swearing, then they must get offended, aren't they? If I didn't control this situation now, forget about Cole, all the glances were going to be at me.

I hold the microphone stronger than I thought, "Luck! He wants to say luck; I mean he's so lucky to get a chance of performing live in front of the audience, he's just very shy to admit that he's so lucky." I said while flattering my smile, which by the way almost caused pain in my jaw muscles!

One must easily get this smile like a wild cat smile.

Well, maybe I can live like a wild cat!

Let's think about it later. Shall we?

Though, by the looks Cole dragging in his aura, was as disturbing, as silence in the sea.

"There is no pole here! How can I suppose to do Pole dancing without Pole?" Cole suggested with hope ahead of the crowd, in his cracking voice. I don't know what is running in his mind? Or what he is up to? But whatever I have known about him, reassured me that behind his puppy face there is some serious agenda have buried in the depth of his mind.

Focus on the pole. There is no pole here.

Shit! Now, what to do? Without pole how can he does pole dancing, or rather than make fun of himself? An idea occurred to mind- why not he made someone from the crowd his pole? "Who wants to be this bastard, did I say bastard? Well, it had slipped out from my mouth, I want to say beautiful person's pole?" thank god I have recovered myself from saying that word ahead of that much crowd.

Here, goes the enchanting of the crowd, all-girls went crazy and they started shouting his name like he is a star. Well, he is rich, and heir of Maxwell Empire. But that doesn't mean that here everyone knows that or they?

Though the whole reaction thing, kind of caught me off guard. Nah! They didn't know that. he's not a celebrity after all. That was just because of his sexiness?

"I want to pick my pole; I mean I shall pick a person from the crowd to be my pole." He declared, but his eyes were glaring at other things! It's not that much to interfere on, and yeah it is pretty much fine. Just go with the flow, and have fun from his scenario ahead of the audience.

"Well. Pick then." I raised my chin in confidence.

And he started moving his finger from the whole a lot of bunch of crowds, and you would be surprised at that end it landed on whom?

Me!

It had landed on sweet little me. Did he pick me? Is he on drugs? I can't even stand still at one place for longer than ten minutes and he wants me to take his pole in pole dancing!

This is ridiculous!

I'm sure it is. But darling he chose you so that he can take his revenge on you.

Oh. I see. Well, let's watch then who will take revenge from whom!

"Oh no, I can't pretend to be your pole. I'm a very hypothetical person, who don't know how to react around boys like you, who are sexy enough to control anyone under their affection. I mean just look at you; you are the best! Best in everything; like- dancing, singing. irritating? And me? I have no idea about standing still at one spot. I'm such a poor baby. Now, we wouldn't want to watch a poor performer, and a high-class performer at one place would we? So pick one from the crowd. Oh, it may be hard for you to do that because you have such a big and wonderful heart. I will pick one person from the crowd." Let me tell you; you have gone through the shit for some entertainment in your life, either that was bitchin' about yourself in front of that audience.

Yeah. I'm that crazy.

He shut his mouth. And yes many girls wanted to be his pole for pole dancing!

But why go for simple?

After all what was fun in that?

Why do girls have to pretend to be his pole?

I mean; if a guy pretends to be his pole, then that would be different.

There were several hands shot up to be his pole in the pole dancing, where he could lure anybody from his embrace.

And what I was looking for was in front of my eyes. Yes, some guys had their hands shot up in the hope to be his pole. Why not give them a chance? After all, he always had his moments with girls. What about boys? Somebody had to think about them also. And yeah, I also wanted to see how he would handle things, Ahead of hundreds of eyes.

"You" I shouted while pointing my finger towards a boy, a blonde boy who had his hands shot up for Cole. When he realized I was talking to him he blushed slightly, but covered it up easily as a remark of being an actor, "me?" he asked with innocence, but his eyes were speaking different terms. "You are selected as a pole for Cole." I declared, just when these words spitted from my mouth, Cole came by my side, and hissed in my ear, "Are you crazy? Idiot? Stupid? Or what?" He was dragging his holes through his eyes to my face. "I'm bitch." I corrected him, raising my chin in that much astonishment that would create accidents on road.

Ok, maybe I exaggerated a little bit.

"Whatever, have you lost your mind?" he hissed again.

"Umm, Well I think about it. Yes." I'd lost my mind, in his perspective not in mine. And before he could open his mouth to again battle with me, I gave him a push towards the area where he was going to perform," ladies and gentleman get ready for entertainment from the future star himself." Though I wanted to say the bloody son of bachelor, I thought that would be wrong to use cussing words ahead of that many people.

Suddenly, music started. And I'd no idea who the hell started it, but whoever does that was amazing. Can you guess what song had played? Ok never mind I'll tell you that Nicki Mina's Anaconda was blasting from the speakers at full-on volume, and let me tell you one thing it had beeped those unusual words which would create disaster in this platform.

That guy was stood still like the natural pole; I must say he was performing his role best. Cole was nervous at first. I can see him through my eyes. Sweat was forming on his forehead. Maybe I'd to give him a little push again because everyone was enchanting his name, 'Cole! Cole! Cole!' everyone formed a circle near that area where that guy stood still like a pole. That boy's eyes were twitching, and I don't know why?

I went towards Cole, and hissed in his ears, "Cole, Go!" in a smooth voice, while batting my eyelashes, perfectly.

"Nooooo!" enough is enough he can't back out now!

So, this time, I, Amanda Parker, pushed him hard.

He was muttering something under his breath and changed his facial expressions from afraid, lost to confident and yeah his smirk was on his face.

Ok! So lets the show begin!

He stood close to the blonde guy and started swaying his hips near him, pretending to be a pole. From moving his body from upward to downward like a fish. Whoa! He is good at pole dancing? Now I'm wondering from where he had learned.

I must have captured this marvellous moment on my cell phone, so I videotaped his performance on my phone, while laughing because of his expressions, and that blonde guy's expressions.

Everything was going smooth, funny, entertaining, but. Yeah. Always come a, but he started acting weird, and that guy looks too happy! I don't know why? Cole's face became red. His eyes were a storm, as he was going to murder someone. I need to get my ass there.

I rushed where they were, and tapped on Cole's shoulder," hey Cole? Aren't you enjoying it? I mean this was your dream which came true. You should be thinking of me." I mumble, and what was his reaction?

"Fuck!" he yelled at my face.

"Oh yes. Fuck me hard please." Oh No. these are not my words. No! not at all these are the words that came from that blonde guy.

Shit!

I think he was gay!

But it's not my mistake. I didn't know that.

You are really stupid!

I formed an 'o' in the interpretation of the knowledge through my mouth when I understood the whole thing.

"Dude, Shut up. Up." He yelled across his face. Though he shut his mouth, he started touching Cole. Again

"Do not touch me!" he yelled, but the blonde guy didn't listen, so Cole pushed him hard, and that guy fell off on his ass.

Before I could say something or Cole say something, that guy started yelling," thieves! Scoundrel Thief's-"

Ok! Relax. Take a chill pill no need to hyperventilate. The crowd must understand us! Not him.

But the looks of everyone's eyes told us a different story, consternating the guard, and staff members took their step towards us.

Holy shit.

I hadn't thought that I would agree with Cole in my life over something, but this is not a regular situation. This is a do and dies situation.

Not acting like us, we captured our hands and intertwined our fingers with each other, as strong as that even a storm can't apart us.

We looked into each other eye's and nodded our heads in understatement.

"On a count of-"

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

"Run!"

***

So that is what happened! That was the reason for us sitting here, like a lost puppy. I came out of my dream of a world when Cole's cell phone started ringing, he picked up his phone, after taking out his worn-out pocket. After constantly yelling, God knows in what language, maybe in a code language? He uttered a word that I would understand and that is," you are such a loser man!" Oh so, he was talking to a man, here I was thinking he was talking to one of the girls. Ughh!

But wait a second why would I think that?

He gave his cell phone to me," hello?" I uttered flabbergasted.

"Amanda Parker, why the hell your cell phone is not working? And where are you? Are you done with shopping? And what the fuss this is about in the mall of a crazy guy, and a stupid girl? Tell me now." Vess poured all those questions at me in one breath.

"I'll show you something later." Is that what slipped through my mouth without thinking. I cut off the line before she asks another question.

"What? Exactly you are going to show her?" Cole demanded from his clenched teeth.

"Tell you later. And come on stood up, don't be a fun spoiler we have to do shopping!" I said while pointing my finger towards the local market.
