Chereads / Miles Apart: Departure / Chapter 7 - Mini Golf

Chapter 7 - Mini Golf

Audri

When the festival ended, everyone was pretty much still in a party mood. We decided to head to our dorm room. It was a bit crowded, but it was interesting to have so many people in here at once. I smiled at Gun as I handed him a water bottle.

"Thank you." He said to me gently. I replied with you're welcome as I sat on the couch.

"What do you guys do for fun around here?" Kwan asked as he ran his finger through his hair. It was wild from the performance, and when his fingers ran through it every other second, it didn't help him.

"Dude, you're going to go bald if you keep doing that." I said to him from the couch in the living room of our dorm. All of L.Y.F.E were gathered in our humble little dorm room. I still couldn't believe it.

"We can go bowling!" Rachel spoke with cheer in her voice. I pointed at her with a nod.

"That's an idea." I agreed.

"Why can't we go dancing?" Ashley pouted.

"We've been dancing all day. Why can't we relax?" Haruhi raised a brow.

"Is she coming? Because she's going to need to relax, or she's going to get popped in the mouth." Ashley said to me as I looked at her with a lazy look, over the drama. I held my arms up as I shrugged.

"You know, my mom always told me to never let someone take me out of character. I think you should relax. She's not even antagonizing you." Rachel said in a calm voice looking at Ashley; to which the blonde replied with a huff. I pulled out my phone, just as Fred came out of the bathroom. His stage makeup was off, thanks to my makeup wipes, and he walked over to me. He moved my legs from the nice little nook I kept them crossed in, then placed them in his lap as he sat.

"What are we talking about?" He asked with a curious face.

"We were trying to figure out what we were going to do." I replied to him with a half-smile, as I looked him over. His hazel eyes shined, and his white shirt clung to his torso, showing his defined muscles. He was so delectable.

"Ooh, we should go skating." He grinned a boyish grin at me. I blushed and look at everyone else for their thoughts.

"I mean, it's not dancing, but it will do." Ashley plopped in Young's lap, who was sitting on the love couch. He looked just as shocked as I felt. She was so bold sometimes, it was beautifully painful. I wish I had her confidence. Maybe I could move a bit further with Fred. I mean, when we kissed, I didn't want him to stop touching me. It was weird, and something I'd never felt from a guy before. I'm sure Fred had been with a ton of girls. Me on the other hand, I'd only been with one guy. That was only because I didn't want to go into college as a virgin. I wanted some sort of experience, though it wasn't great. It wasn't like anything I read in romance novels where it hurts for a bit, then the guy caresses the women's face and whispers, "I'm sorry," and it gets better. No, mine just hurt. I don't know what went wrong, but I got nothing out of it. Maybe there is something wrong with my body…I hope not…maybe I should make a doctor's appointment. But how would they test me to see if I can "get there," That doesn't make any sense to me.

As I sat, in wonder of what was going on with my sex life, I hear Fred's voice.

"There is a place called "Joe's Party Extravaganza," It has a bowling alley, a skating rink, movie theater, Go-Karts, golf, and food. Honestly, it sounds like a deal to me." He strolled on his phone.

"Ok rich boy, some of us aren't as rich as others. That place is like 50 buckaroos a person. I dunno about you, but I'm living on a budget," Ashley crossed her arm.

"And that's why we look at party deals hun," Fred replied with just as much sass. "$150 for 6 people or more for 2 hours. $200 for 6 people or more for 4 hours…I don't think we'll be staying there for 6 hours. But from what I'm reading…" Fred abruptly stopped and looked up at everyone with narrowed eyes. "Hold on, I just realized that we have half a room that doesn't speak English. Has anyone been translating, or have our members just been floating around wondering what the hell is going on?" He gave a dry laugh.

"Oh yeah." Kwan laughed, then started speaking in Korean really quickly. Fred shook his head with a laugh. He looked at me as I was still pondering over if I am able to enjoy sex.

"Audrey?" He asked. I blinked and smiled as a response, leaning my head on my hand. "You good?"

"Yeah, I was just thinking," I blushed as I sat up. "Don't worry about it." I reply at his eyebrow raise. He hummed, then looked at his phone again.

"So, Joe's Party Extravaganza?" He asked again. "If we do the 2 hours it's only $15 each, and if we do the 4 hours, then it's $20 each." He said looking at everyone. Kwan spoke to everyone. Gun nodded, then snapped his fingers. He spoke in Korean with a shine in his eyes. The guys let out a choir of "ohs"

"That's a good idea." Rachel said with a nod, understanding but not able to respond in Korean. She and King have been working diligently on their languages.

"What happened? Uncultured person here." Ashley raised her hand. Kwan chuckled.

"Gun was just saying, we could probably use our group funds to pay for it if we vlog for our YouTube channel. We just have to ask Un." Kwan took out his phone.

"That is a good idea." I nodded, then looked over as Fred rubbed my leg gently, in his own world.

"I'll call him really fast and ask." Kwan mumbled walking out of the dorm room, into the hallway.

"Well, if we're gonna do that, I kinda wanna change into something else." I stood as I spoke. I turned to look at Fred, who was looking up at me. I wanted to kiss him, but instead, I tapped his nose, trying to figure out a way to get him alone. He leaned his head up to bite my finger gently, then smiled holding my finger between his perfect white teeth. I smirked, as an idea came to my mind.

"How are your teeth so white?" I asked suddenly, leaning down to look at them. He let my finger go.

"I do that teeth whitening thing that all the YouTubers do." He laughed, then licked his teeth. "Want some? We're sponsored by them. I'm sure I could get you something. Though, your teeth are pretty white so," He shrugged, then stood up next to me. I looked thoughtful.

"I mean, my teeth aren't as white as yours," I started to walk towards my room. He followed me, unknowingly following my plan perfectly. "I'll show you what I use." I added once in my room. Then I close the door quietly. He turned to look at me curiously. I giggled as I jump on him. He gasped, but caught me, his hands on my ass as he held me up. I half-smile as I look at him. He chuckled and pecked my lips.

"Who's a sneaky sneak now?" He asked as I rested my forehead on his.

"Me." I sang as I cup his face gently, then lean in to kiss him.

"Hi," I waved at Fred's camera as he pointed it at me. Un was nice enough to let us use the group fund for the amusement park, as long as we got vlog footage. I was just happy I got to spend more time with Fred. We had split from our normal group, wanting to spend alone time together.

"I know a lot of you guys were curious when I posted that picture on Instagram. So now you get to meet her. Or the few of you who didn't go in V live with us. Which, hello? Subscribe." Fred spoke to the camera naturally. I giggled softly as I looked at him behind the camera.

"That's how you talk to your fans? Rude." I stated smirking.

"They know what's good." He nudged me gently. I grinned at him, then walked ahead of him slightly. I looked at a map trying to figure out where I wanted to go. Joe's was mainly an outdoor attraction. It was kind of like a Putt-Putt and Six flags had a baby that was smaller than the two. It had rides for kids and even stands where customers could buy food or try for prizes. I was happy we decided to come here. We had wristbands, so we could go on everything. I turned and stopped walking to speak. I looked up from the map to come face to face with a black glazed lens staring at me.

"Uh, did you want to play golf?" I blushed looking at him. I fixed my mini bookbag scrap as I spoke.

"Sure, as long as you're ready to get beat." He smirked. I narrowed my eyes playfully.

"You're on Lee. I don't lose." I replied. He snorted.

"Until today." He grinned playfully at me. I giggled and turned again. "Lead the way, madam." He said. So I did.

The mini golf wasn't far from where we were at. When getting our golf balls, I got a pink one, and he got a baby blue one.

"Can we go over there?" I asked, grabbing his arm since he stopped recording. Then I point at where the dinosaur and volcano golf course was.

"It says advanced." He pointed at the sign, then looked at me. I pout up at him. He chuckled softly. "Fine, I don't care much." He kissed my lips gently. I grinned and cheer, happily pulling him towards the golf course.

Three holes down and both of us were already frustrated at the course. I huffed as I missed the hole again. It took me at least 10 times before I got the ball in the hole at the level before this one.

"Advanced," Fred said at my huff. I glared at him, and he held his hands up. "I'm just reading the sign." He chuckled as I focused on my alignment. I felt his eyes on me as I hit the ball, finally making it into the hole.

"Thank God," I mumbled and rubbed my arms as the wind blew.

"Are you cold?" He asked as he walked to me, ready to move on to the next lane.

"A little." I replied softly, I looked at him, still a little irritated at the "advanced" comment. He shrugged off his olive green bombers jacket and put it over my shoulders. He was in a white shirt, dark washed jeans, and white shoes. He had basically copied me after I changed and we stopped at the Hotel to get the money from Un. I was in a white cropped top, dark-washed jeans, and white vans. We definitely looked like a couple or really close friends. I didn't mind at the moment though, it kept the girls away from him at the moment.

I pushed my arms through, then smiled softly.

"Thank you," I stood on my toes and kissed his chin. He half smiled.

"Of course," He put his hand on the small of my back and lead us to the next hole.

"Want me to record this one?" I asked.

"Sure," He handed me his camera. "Just shoot what you want." He stood in front of me as I turn the camera on. I point the camera up at his face and start recording. "Well, not my nose." He chuckled as I giggled. He backed up, slightly blushing.

"So, Audrey and I have made it four holes in. Uh, we both are struggling a bit." He said.

"Let's show them our scores." I spoke up. He dug in his back pocket and walked closer to me.

"Look at this." He said. Both of our scores were in the double digits. Though, I was two numbers lower than him.

"I'm winning." I hummed happily.

"For now, I haven't produced all my skill yet." He replied folding the paper and putting it up. I turned the camera to me as I made a blank face. He laughed at me. "I'm serious! Watch, I bet I'll make this whole in at least 5." He pointed to the hole with this club as I turn the camera around.

"What are you betting?" I asked curiously. He looked at the camera coyly, then winked at me. I blushed.

"It's a secret." He said in a tone that gave me goosebumps. He stretched downwards to put the ball down.

"How am I supposed to bet if you don't tell me what the bet is?" I asked. He gave me that look again as he stood. I bit my bottom lip, feeling the spark usually ignited between us. I took a breath, then looked away. "Fine, bet," A smile spread across his lips. "But if you don't, then I get to pick."

"Bet." His deep voice replied. Then got into position, extremely focused. I wonder what he was betting. No doubt it involved us kissing, but what else? I slightly smiled, feeling a bit excited to find out. I watched as he hit the ball. I followed the ball with the camera, only for it to hit multiple walls and not go close to the hole. I made a noise and turned to point the camera back at him. Fred scratched his head looking at the ball. "I got four more." He mumbled walking towards it. I laughed and followed him. I shook my head after his fourth attempt.

"Looks like I'm getting him to feed me Ice cream guys." I said.

"Nah, I'm right there." He said. "I'm gonna win." He smirked, walking closer to me.

"We gotta love a man with confidence." I licked my lips. He smirked at me, then took aim. I gasped as it went really close, but didn't make it in the hole.

"Damn it." He mumbled, then hit it again to make it go in.

"It's ok," I rubbed his shoulder. Then allowed him to take the camera from me. He points it at me as I pulled his jacket closer around me. I peered up at him. "I'm hungry." I was over golf and I was cold.

"You're always hungry," He teased.

"Cause you don't feed me," I whined. "Don't we get to go to the buffet with these things?" I held up my wrist that had the ban on it.

"Yeah, let's go. I'm tired of golf anyways." He chuckled. Then turned the camera off. I agreed and grabbed his hand. We took our clubs back to the station, then headed to the buffet.

"Mm mm mm," I rocked side to side in my seat, holding up my slice of pizza. Fred recorded me as I took a bite of the thin-crusted pizza.

"Is it good?" He asked as I cover my mouth shyly as I chewed.

"Greasy, crunchy, and cheesy; delicious." I licked my lips. He chuckled, then I reached over to film him. He got a sausage pizza, instead of cheese like me. He took a bite and nodded.

"It is good," He agreed. "There is this place in Korea that has really good homemade pizza. When you come to Korea, I'll take you." I blushed, not realizing I was going to Korea. I never agreed to it. Though, I would love to. So I simply said ok.

I put the camera down and enjoyed my food and Freds company. I felt happy that I was able to spend so much time with him. I didn't want our time to end. It made me sad knowing he'd be gone in 2 days. But tomorrow, I got him to myself again. I wanted to make the most of it.

"Can I spend the night at your dorm?" He suddenly asked. I looked up with wide eyes, slightly shocked at the question. "Is that a forward question? I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." He stated when I didn't reply right away.

"Uh, no, it's not forward. Not to me anyway. I just didn't see it coming. I mean, I don't mind...my bed is kinda small though." I replied still blushing.

"I don't mind sleeping on the floor. I just wanna be with you when I wake up tomorrow. I want my day to end and begin with you." The statement made me flush. How could he just say such romantic things out of nowhere, like it's just natural to just say? I looked at him again.

"I-I don't mind you spending the night with me. I'm enjoying your company, a lot actually." I admitted. He smiled.

"I'm glad. I'll tell Un then." He smiled at me. I blushed and nodded as my heart sped up.

"Ok."
