The Ugly Bet

Chapter 25 - Amusement Park

Lyz

"Why don't we just watch the movies individually like you choose the movies you prefer to make an analysis of your own so I don't have to disturb you there, you know, less time, less effort, less hassle... it's a lot easier--"

"I'll pick you up at two. You've slept much enough. Bye." then he hung up.

Damn.

My brows creased as I stared at the ceiling with my phone on my hand rested on the pillow I was hugging on my chest. He really was serious when he said we're watching the movies that we were working on as our project. I breathed out with exasperation as anxiety began eating me. My guitar shape wallclock says it's eleven thirty nine. I wonder if I should go with him or hide inside my room. If it would be in a movie house, it would be okay, but hell, he said we'll watch the movie not only in his house but in his room.

Inside HIS freaking room... when no one but US is home!

I can't go.

No.

I buried my face to my pillow while rolling my body side to side. What will I do if he demands something like me going to bed with him? Of course he has a right, he's my boyfriend. And what would be my reason to say no? That I was a freaking virgin? That would just add him more excitement. That I am not yet ready? Well, his seductive smile alone can make any girl ready for that. Or the petty excuse that I'll only give myself to the one I really love, which is just what

I really want, and blow the fact that I wasn't really inlove with that arrogant guy?

I'm dead.

I don't know how long I stayed staring at the ceiling again when Pamy crossed my mind. She will be my savior! I can just hang out with her the whole afternoon then extend it by the eve. Or I'll invite her to go shopping in New York or Vegas and just return tomorrow evening. That would be fun to her, I'm sure.

"Hey Lyz?"

"Pamy!" I sat on my bed while still clutching a pillow. "Let's go shopping at Vegas tonight. My treat."

"Really?" She sounded so excited and I thought she's gonna take the offer, but no. "Oh my God, I love to, but Keith and I were working on our project this weekend. Wait! You are going to Dustin's house tonight, right?"

"Today, not tonight--"

"You're staying til eve, Oh my God! I'm so excited for you!!!" I had to remove the phone from my ears coz her whining hurts my eardrums. "Oh my Gosh, this is it girl, the moment you've been waiting for!"

"I'm not going to bed with him." I said flatly, disencouraging whatever malicious thoughts she bears on her mind. Pamy asked why not. "Coz I'm a virgin!"

"Oh my God! You're losing your virginity to Dustin! That sure would be unforgettable!"

I stuck my eyes up. "Listen, I know every girls would dream to give their virginity or whatever they have to Dustin. Well, I'm not like them. I'll only give myself to that man who truly deserves me, the one I really love--"

"I thought you love Dustin?" That's when I returned to my proper mind. Yeah, why did I forget that that's my act? "But don't worry, I know how unbelievably conservative you are, like grandma. I am conservative too," she giggled and I can't help but sigh. Thank God she didn't caught me on that. "But you don't have to worry about Dustin. Stop overthinking. He's not gonna force you, or harass you, or rape you if that's what you think. It's the other way around," she laughed while I deny. "I told you, relax! Calm yourself down, stop overthinking and just enjoy the moment with him. Okay? Bye." I said bye too and about to end the call when she spoke from the other line again. "I forgot to tell you. Brace yourself." she followed that with a crisp laugh and hang up on me.
