Stranded (Roc Royal)

Chapter Twenty-Four

Day Thirty-Five:

...

Karen.

''Karen...Karen..''

I woke up to be greeted with a pair of eyes. My eye's fluttered open to see Chresanto smiling. What the hell is he so happy about? I stood up and walked out the tent before putting some pieces of banana in my mouth. It was dark outside. Chresanto noticed my cheeks and started to joke.

''Damn, Karen how much food you store in your cheeks?''

I rolled my eyes in a joking manner. ''That's very funny, Chresanto. I'm sure you have some Lucky Charms hidden on you, little leprechaun.'' I smirked.

I bent down a little and said, ''They're magically Delicious!'' in an Irish accent.

He sucked his teeth and laughed a bit. ''You have jokes on you now, huh?'' His eyebrows risen and smirked. I quickly shook my head.

''Hey, guys!'' Clyde was sitting in the fire place. We ran on the wet sand and joined him on the ground. He looked between me and Chresanto and a smile tugged at his lips.

''So, you get the kiss yet?'' He glanced at Chresanto.

I answered for him, ''No, frosty the shortman.''

''I am not short! For the record Karen, i was gon' be at the basketball team for the summer, which the tallest stands, and guess which team i'll be in?'' He said proudly.

I interrupted Chresanto again.

''What? Shortland Trailblazers?'' I laughed, referring to the Portland Trailblazers where he was from. I earned a little laugh from both Clyde and Chresanto.

''Stand up. Chres, man see who's the tallest.''

I stood up and stood back to back with him. It was clear that i was taller than him. I'm surprised it took him a while to realize this.

''She's taller than you, Clyde. Hell, she almost my height.''

I was known to be very tall, but it was never a problem to me. Although many people have different opinions too. Chresanto was taller than me by just a little inch. We're almost compatible.

''Damnit.''

We sat back down and only ate some leftover fruit for the morning, Chresanto's hands slid around my hips unexpectedly, and pulled me on his lap. Well he did after i struggled for him to let go of me. It's not comfortable to be sitting on his thigh.

''Just enjoy it, Karen.'' He mumbled.

I turned my head to face him and frowned. He chuckled, ''Turn that frown upside down, Karen.''

''Oh shut it up, bubbles.'' I called him by his old nickname. He frowned, and i lifted the corners of his mouth to make a smile. He bit his lip and attempted kiss me, but i quickly reacted and turned my head, and he ended up kissing my cheek.

''Karen..'' He groaned and wined. Messing with him is the most funniest thing on earth.

I rolled my eyes and got up from his lap, surprised that he didn't complain or hold me back. I got some strawberries that were still almost ripe and bit into it.

''Hey, where's Kevin?'' I asked. Both Clyde and Chresanto looked at each other, then at me in a weird fashion. They shrugged their shoulders and continued eating.

''What'd y'all do to him?'' I asked suspiciously.

They sighed and stood up, wiping their mouths. Chresanto grabbed my arm and led me to where Clyde was walking to. We stopped near a tall tree.

I looked and saw Kevin tied to the very high spot of the tree with a white colored string. Something covered his mouth which prevented him from speaking. All i heard was muffled screams.

Before i began to protest, Chres and Clyde hushed me.

''Don't you want to leave him here? It leaves less trouble!'' Clyde spoke.

''We have to feed him!''

''We will every day!''

''What about sanitation?''

''There's a bucket right beneath him.''

I shooked my head and turned around, getting back to our main spot. ''Y'all are ridiculous. When did you do this'' I wasn't okay with this but it does brings less stress for us.

''Somewhere around midnight.''

I scoffed, ''Okay then.'' Once we got to our spot, i sat down in the fire place and picked up some grapes that were seconds away from expiring, but still healthy to eat.

Chresanto sat next to me while Clyde sat across from me. His eye's were closing and soon, he fell on the sand and sound asleep. Dumbass. I chuckled at his foolishness.

''Karen, what if i get married to a girl-''

I giggled, ''Can't no girl be married to a donkey..''

He glared at me in a playful way. ''Hush up Janet Jackass. You're a handful i swear.'' He smirked and attempted to pull me next to him. I struggled with him, because i didn't feel like being this close to him. Although the air out here is cold, it still didn't bother me.

His hands gripped my hips tightly, and firmly sat me on his lap. Both of my legs were sat swiftly on his left side. I wined and wiggled out of his grip. ''Karen, quit playin'. I can't cuddle with you? You're like a big teddy bear.'' He smiled and twirled my hair around his finger tips.

''No i''m not. And this is uncomfortable.''

He raised an eyebrow and shook his head. His hand reached my left thigh and he brought it to his right side, leaving both my legs at each of his sides. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly, leaving me to struggle.

''Let go of me, Chresanto. This is not any comfortable then the last.'' I mumbled. Although he took that into consideration and tightened his grip on my left leg. He pulled me closer to his stiff structure, grabbing my arms and wrapping it around his neck.

While i continued to struggle away from him, he in fact was enjoying the fact that i declined his ''kindness''. ''Stop..'' I wined.

''Nope. You need to accept the fact that we're together. But you think otherwise somehow.''

I scoffingly smirked. ''Bruh, i do think that we are together. But-,"

''Then give me a kiss?'' He softly spoke.

I rolled my eyes and leaned in to give him a kiss. It was only a peck, nothing real. But he on the other hand took it like the whole world exploded with confetti. He had a goofy grin and loosened his grip on me. I got up and straightened my shirt before he stood up and stuck is hands in the back pocket of my short jeans.

I just know he's aiming for another kiss. But i can't lie, his lips are softer than i expected.

''Can you kiss me again? I'ma need some strength to get Mike out of the tree.''

...

(Mike is the cat they found just to remind y'all.)
