Don't Bet On It

Chapter 5 - An Unexpected Visitor

Hope you're enjoying the story so far.

The song for this chapter is 'Don't you (forget about me)' by Simple Minds, it's from The Breakfast Club a brilliant movie.

the picture at the side is what Fezzik looks like, so cute! 

If you search for the Fenton video on youtube you'll see what I mean when you read the chapter. If you haven't seen the video it's hilarious, it was really big news here in England.

Something was tickling my face, I moved my hand up to push it away so I could go back to sleep. My hand met only soft fur, "Mmm, Fezzik stop it!" I tried pushing him away but he just whined. That's when I heard music, Simple Minds - Don't you forget about me; my ringtone. Who was calling me so early on a Sunday morning.

Blindly I reached for my cellphone next to me, knocking a plastic cup to the floor; finally I found my phone and looked at the screen. Fuzzy; glasses, I needed my glasses - one of my Velma moments. I found them on the bedside table near where my phone had been. Putting them on, I looked at the caller ID on the screen.

Robin! I pressed answer and put the phone to my ear. "No sane person calls at this hour, especially on a Sunday!" I moaned before she could get a word in, I sat up leaning my pillows upright against my wooden headboard.  

Running my fingers through my hair, pain shot through my head; I felt my scalp and found the lump from last night's incident. Ow!

"So how did last night go?" How could she sound so perky and awake, it was too early to even contemplate waking up yet.

"Please tell me you put him in his place."

"I tried, it was kind of a strange night." I thought back to what had happened; the lamp post, the flirting, the awkwardness, the pain.

"So what happened?" I could practically hear her bouncing on her seat in suspense.

"Well it all started with him walking into a street lamp." She burst out laughing at the other end of the line, I pulled the handset away from ear trying to escape the loudness.

"Then he took me to a really great coffee place that had amazing muffins. Where I banged my head and nearly knocked myself out then he walked me home. I did make him jealous though." I neglected to tell her about embarrassing myself, wanting to put the whole moaning thing out of my mind.

"Cool, what did you do?" I scratched Fezzik behind his ear as he lay on the pillow next to me; he looked up at me in perfect contentment, then closed his eyes and went to sleep. Lucky you!

"I flirted with the guy who made our coffee, one of Noah's friends. Who happens to be Olly Parks, you know on the soccer team." I smiled feeling quite proud of what I'd done. 

"What do you mean by 'flirted'. No offense but you don't always make it obvious."

I put on a voice of mock hurt. 

"Oh, how dare you. I may not be the most flirty person but I know what I'm doing. I basically said Olly was cuter than him and smiled and batted my eyelashes." 

I waited for her to respond unsure what she'd make of what I'd done. 

"That sounds promising. Did anything else happen? Kissing, making out, heavy petting?"

"No, I don't put out on first dates. Unless you count me checking he hadn't broken his cheekbone, no. How did Casey get on with Sam?"

"Who? Oh you mean Noah's friend. As far as I know, really well. They came and chatted to me and Rae, then went off to dance and we didn't see her again. I got a text saying she'd got home safe though, you've probably got one too. Anyway I've got to go, my dad's dropping me off at the gym on his way to work."
