Curse Too Much

Chapter twenty-two: "Curse Too Much"

I heard loud footsteps coming up the stairs and Cloud saw Alice and Will looking disheveled no matter how much they try to fix their appearance, Cloud's eyes instantly went to Alice's neck
"Damn Will, the least that you could do is hold back"

Alice and I were looking at each other with puzzled looks when suddenly I saw it "Alice your neck"

I was at loss for words "Cloud was right Will, you should have held back, look at it!" I dragged Alice in front of him and he wasn't even embarrassed

"There is a hickey, not one, not two, but three Hickey's!" Alice said it in surprise as she saw her neck in the mirror, I patted Alice's shoulder
"So how will you cover that up?" I whispered

"Good on you dude but you are going to get Alice in trouble so you better help out right Angel?" He looked at me with a teasing smile, Will raised a brow and Alice gave me a look that I could only describe as confusion making their heads tilt sideways

I cracked my knuckles in trying to hold back my anger, Will slapped Cloud's back loudly and Alice was now in a position where she is ready to stop me
"What the hell?" Cloud spoke as he glanced at Will who was now in front of him like a shield

"I don't think you know this even in your preschool years but Penelope has a habit of making someone be sent to a hospital just like Jane does" Alice stared at him

I crossed my arms and raised my brow "Hey, I'm not the one who took a picture of a girl's underwear under her skirt you know. The guy was being a pervert!"

Will sighed as he sat down on the bed "He already confessed it out loud as you beat him up but you didn't stop until he lost consciousness"

"Jacob was being a pervert Will, good on you Penelope for beating him up" Alice supported me but Cloud has a different reaction, he has that blank look again like he was trying to figure me out

"Mind explaining why Penelope's nickname is now Angel? I thought we all agree to use our dwarf nicknames" Alice said as she look through her drawers to find something to cover up her hickeys that were the size of a thumb and some are bigger than the others

I shot a glare at Cloud who was now planning to say it to them, I shake my head multiple times and for the first time he actually listened to me
"I just remembered that it was her middle name and it suits her a bit, I will be the only one calling her that"
He call dibs on being the only one calling me that

Will was about to ask something when we suddenly heard a knock on the door, it was Stephanie. Alice's cousin who has the biggest crush on Cloud just like Danny, Stephanie was giving him flirty looks

I got uncomfortable, Alice was way different from her cousin from their looks all the way to their personalities
"Being a little slut again eh?" She said to Alice as she saw the Hickey's on her neck

"At least someone did, I doubt anyone would do it to you," she remarked, I just don't want to be in their passive-aggressive conversation so I wander my eyes around Alice's basketball themed room

Alice was a basketball player on our schools' all-girl basketball team and she was really good but she wanted to try out for a different club this time, she gave off a tomboyish look but still have some hints of her feminine side like sometimes wearing hair clips and beaded bracelets

I was happy for Alice and Will because I think they are a perfect athletic couple match, they might even be a power couple if they want to

I listened back to their conversation and this time I think things got a bit heated between Stephanie and Alice
"Stephanie stop being so nosy and bitchy" Alice forced her out of her room but Stephanie wasn't moving an inch
