Weeping Willows

The Worst Surprises

Chapter 33

Elizabeth's breathing quickened as Ryan's hand moved away from the wall slowly. Her eyes widened as both dread and anticipation filled her. Did they take the game too far? She clearly remembered vetoing any of the texts that she felt too illicit so really the ones he should have gotten were PG rated at best. None of them had thought any of them would be able to push him to the edge. In fact, the girls called her a wuss for being so tame. Had she overestimated his self-control?

She shivered as his hand grazed her neck as light as a feather in touch before slowly skimming down the skin of her arm. Fear began to grip her as she realized she wasn't so sure she was ready for things to be progressing this quickly. His hand disappeared from her skin making her breath catch waiting to see what he would do next. Elizabeth was so wrapped up in the different scenarios running a race through her head that it took her a minute to realized what he was doing.

There, in front of her face was his phone turned so the screen was facing her. She gasped out in shock lunging for his phone, but Ryan was quicker than she was as he moved it out of her reach. She looked on helplessly in horror at a vivid, clear picture of her in one of the lingerie outfits blazing right at her. It was one of the lacy and sheer white ones with stockings she had bought today after trying it on and deeming it not bad. In the picture she stood facing one mirror while moving her curly dark red locks out of the way over her shoulder so she could look over her shoulder at the mirror behind her. She was arched back slightly while looking down loving the fact that the outfit actually made her look like she had a nice butt. Elizabeth groaned in humiliation as she attempted to retrieve the phone from Ryan so she could delete the picture. She hadn't realized that any of the girls had broken the deal and snapped a picture to send him. When she found out who it was, they were going to be toast. At the top of her list at the moment was Jan with her cryptic plea before fleeing. When she got another look at the message the picture came in, she froze in disbelief.

"That little a-hole." She growled out recognizing the number at the top of the screen.

"Who?" Ryan asked puzzled by her outburst.

"I've been Courtney-ed." It took a minute for the words to register but once they did Ryan cracked up laughing.

"This is her revenge isn't it?" He asked her moving the phone once again just out of her reach. Huffing in annoyance Elizabeth folded her arms across her chest while trying to glare at him. All it did was make him smile at her.

"You're cute when your mad." Elizabeth rolled her eyes before a thought dawned on her.

"Did anything happen to Mikey today?"

"Not that I could tell, why?" Elizabeth sighed feeling bad for Mikey.

"If she hasn't struck yet, then he's in for a doozy. I'd hate to be in his shoes right about now. She must have hit me first since I didn't do anything all that bad." Elizabeth took out her phone and video called Lauren to check on her. Lauren picked up after the third ring.

"Hey Liz....ooh I'd say from the look on you're face Courtney paid you back already."

"You could say that." Elizabeth gestured for Ryan's phone but instead of handing it over he held it up to the screen himself. It took a minute for the screen to focus so she could see it clearly but once she did laughter erupted from her. Elizabeth waited impatiently for Lauren to calm down as Ryan turned off the phone and tucked it away. Once she had managed to calm down, she took a minute to size up the man standing next to her fuming friend.
