"Did you know that guy?"
"Nope", Malakai replied, shaking his head.
"Why did you say fuck love when you left?".
"He told me he broke up with his girl a few months ago, so I gave him some advice", Malakai replied, still wearing his pink scarf over his face.
"Love advice from you?" Delilah doubtfully said, narrowing her eyes.
"Shut up man", Malakai replied. "Anyways, where's my drink?" he asked, holding out his hand. Delilah went to the store to get a drink, which is why Malakai was sitting on the bench. He didn't want to go into the store because he was paranoid.
"Your drink? You didn't ask for one. I had to buy one because YOU drank mine", Delilah replied, while holding a strawberry milkshake. "If anything, MY strawberry milkshake you drank from MY fridge was YOUR drink", she continued, keeping the drink close to her body so Malakai wouldn't snatch it.
"You let me in your dorm. It's common courtesy to offer your guest a drink", Malakai replied, pointing at Delilah.
"Guest? You barged into my dorm", Delilah said, pointing back.
"You let me in. YOU opened the door", Malakai argued back.
"I didn't know what was happening. YOU randomly called me".
You're probably wondering why these two aren't with Akari and Jason. Well, while those two argue, we can flashback to 20 minutes ago.
"Where are we going?" Delilah asked Akari, who was walking ahead clinging onto Jason's left arm.
"A restaurant I haven't been to yet. I've heard the food is really good", Akari excitedly replied. "We're nearly there. I'm sure both of you will love it".
"I don't think we will", Malakai whispered to Delilah, covering his mouth.
"Shhh, just play along", Delilah whispered back. They continued to walk until,
"I've got an idea", Malakai said. All of them looked at him. "For our next double date, how about we go on a road trip, and I'll be the driver?"
"NO!" he instantly got shut down.
"Why?" Malakai questioned like he already didn't know the answer.
"You already know the answer", Jason coldly replied, looking back at him.
"Aryt relax", Malakai said with his hands up. "You don't need to act hard, I've seen you scream like a bitch already", he quietly said, so Jason wouldn't hear. Delilah heard though, and she got a little laugh from that.
The four of them reached the restaurant, and Delilah and Malakai were stunned when they entered. Jason and Akari had done some research before coming, so they already knew about it, and their reactions were completely different from Malakai and Delilah's. They all joined the line and waited.
"This place looks boujee (expensive)", Malakai said, looking around and feeling the high-class atmosphere. Everything looked clean and brand new. White tiles plated the floor, and bright lights lit up the reception. Malakai looked at the cieling. "I think I should buy that for my room," he said.
"You can't buy a chandelier for your room", Delilah replied, despite that unserious comment not needing a reply. "What type of food is served here?" Delilah asked Akari.
"Seafood", Akrai answered.
"Boujee", Malakai commented under his breath.
"Can your credits handle it?" Delilah quietly asked Malakai.
"It can, but I don't wanna spend my credits on food I probably won't like. I can get an ice cream and have the same feeling", Malakai replied, still gazing at his surroundings. "Can yours?"
"Yes, but I don't want to waste my credits on this either", Delilah said, covering her mouth with her hand. The two looked ahead and saw the line shrinking.
"Should we go?" Malakai asked Delilah without looking at her, not to make it obvious.
"Yes, let's get out of here before she notices", Delilah replied without looking at him. The two quietly sneaked out of the restaurant without Akari noticing. She was too engaged in her conversation with Jason.
"Hello", the waiter greeted.
"Hi, can we have a table for four, please?" Akari politely asked.
"Four? Are you sure? There's only two of you", the waiter replied, confused.
"Two?" Akari turned around, and no one was there. Malakai and Delilah disappeared. Akari sighed, "I'm going to kill her."
Meanwhile, outside, "Akari's going to be so mad", Delilah said, walking next to Malakai.
"She can't be that mad. Now, she can focus on Jason. If we were there, we would've taken the piss", Malakai replied. Delilah giggled just thinking about it. "Plus, I don't think they would have let me in with my outfit. They probably have a dress code", he said, adjusting the scarf so it doesn't fall off his face.
"True", Delilah replied. "What should we do now?"
"Wanna go grocery shopping?" Malakai asked, remembering he still had to get groceries for William.
"Sure, but first, I need to get something".
That's basically what happened. The flashback is over, and these two are still arguing.
"Just buy me a drink", Malakai whined.
"No, buy one yourse-" Delilah cut herself off. "Isn't that Lucas?" she said, pointing ahead.
Malakai looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Lucas with an arm around a brunette girl. He squinted his eyes to get a better look at the girl's face, but he couldn't properly see her facial features.
"Let's follow them", he quickly said, pacing ahead.
"Malakai, wait!" Delilah replied, reaching out an arm to stop him, but he was already too far, so she followed him. The two secretly followed Lucas until he went into a shop, a cosmetic shop. Malakai and Delilah didn't follow them inside the shop; instead, they hid around a corner and waited for them to leave.
"Why are we following them?" Delilah asked, looking at Malakai peering around the corner.
"I saw Lu with a girl a few days ago. It wasn't this girl though", Malakai replied.
"That doesn't explain why we are following him", Delilah said.
"I was seeing who this girl was. They've gone into that makeup shop, so now I know she's a gold digger", Malakai confidently replied.
"You can't say that. You don't know. He might be buying her a present", Delilah said, giving the girl the benefit of the doubt.
"The girl he was with last week didn't get a gift", Malakai replied.
"How do you know?" Delilah asked. "Don't tell me you followed them as well".
"I didn't. Lu told me about it", Malakai replied. Then, a thought popped up in his mind. "He might be two-timing", he said, touching his chin.
"Come on Malakai, let's leave them alone. They might be on a date", Delilah said feeling bad for spying on them. She put a hand on his shoulder to try and move him, but he shook her hand off.
"My friend can't two-time. He's not a dickhead", Malakai replied. "Maybe I should frame him and put that bra in his room", he said out loud.
"Bra? What bra?" Delilah picked up on that piece of information.
"I got it from that Halloween party. It was in the bag of sweets I stole", Malakai replied. "I was gonna give it to you as a joke but Tanisha stopped me".
"A joke…" Delilah quickly caught on to what the joke was. She sighed, "What size was the bra?" She asked in a deadbeat voice.
"36 double D, I think", Malakai replied, smiling.
Delilah smirked, "Cadela (Bitch)".
Malakai grinned; he didn't understand but knew she swore at him in Portuguese. "Bro it's fine, your Brazilian. You've got a natural BBL", Malakai said.
"Huh?!" Delilah was caught off guard by what he said.
"Most guys are like me anyways. They prefer ass over boobs", Malakai continued keeping watch over the store in case Lucas left, so he wasn't looking at Delilah when saying this.
"What did you say!?" Delilah questioned.
"I said I like personality. Look, they're leaving", Malakai quickly said, trying to gloss over what he had said earlier.
"No, you didn't. Repeat what you said", Delilah said, raising her voice a bit.
"Bro, be quiet, they'll hear you", Malakai replied, putting a finger over his lips.
"No! I need to comprehend what you just said".
"I gave you a compliment, why you mad?" Malakai teasingly asked.
"Y-yeah, but you can't say that out of nowhere", Delilah replied.
"I was giving you motivation", Malakai said, looking at her.
"M-motivation?"
"Most girls would pay thousands for what you have", Malakai continued. He looked around the corner, "Delilah man, they're gone. You made us lose them", he said, blaming her.
Delilah was still processing the conversation that just happened. She didn't care that they lost Lucas.
Bzzzz Bzzz Bzzz
Malakai felt his phone vibrating. "Who's calling me?" he asked, pulling his phone out from his pocket. "Maria? This is the first time she's called me", He accepted the call. "Hello?"
"Hey Malakai", Maria replied.
"Yo, what's going on?"
"Is everything alright?" She asked, sounding a bit worried.
"Yeah? What's wrong?" Malakai was confused.
"Umm, William came over asking for sugar. He didn't look too well", Maria explained.
"Shit! I forgot", Malakai replied. "I was supposed to get groceries, but I got sidetracked".
"I gave him some sugar, so he should be fine", she tried to reassure him.
"He's gonna be so pissed", Malakai mumbled. "Wait, why did he go to you? Didn't he go to Ben's or Ray's dorm?" he asked.
"He said no one was at Benjamin's dorm, and I think your other friends were busy. He felt bad for asking me, but I didn't mind", Maria replied.
"Busy doing what?" Malakai asked himself. "Whatever, well imma go to the shop now. Do you want anything?"
"Me? You don't have to buy me anything".
"Naah, it's fine. You helped Willy so if you want anything I can get it for you", Malakai offered.
Maria smiled. Luckily, this wasn't a video call, so he couldn't see the big smile on her face. "My hot chocolate powder is running low", she shyly said.
"Hot chocolate? Aryt. I might buy one for myself", he replied. "Aryt, I need to get these groceries quick. Bye".
"Okay, take care. Bye".
Malakai waited for her to say bye before he ended the call. "Yo, Delilah, we've been completing too many side quests. Willy might die, I need to get these groceries", he said, walking ahead.
Delilah was quiet for a few seconds. "For the record, I've never been self-conscious of my boobs", Delilah said out of the blue. Malakai stopped walking and turned to look at her. "And if I ever need motivation, I would ask someone else. Not Malakai Junior", she said, walking past him.
Malakai stood there and watched her walk past him. "What do you mean? Malakai Junior complimented your ass. That's one of, if not the greatest thing any girl can hear in their life", Malakai joked.
Delilah smiled at his joke but still silenced him by saying, "SHUT UP!".
"You didn't have to buy me this", Jessica said, clinging to my arm and holding a bag filled with makeup.
"I wanted to. We couldn't walk in there and buy nothing. You were looking at it for a long time".
"Was I? I saw it the last time I came here, but I couldn't get it", she replied, sounding a little shy.
"You don't have to feel bad. I have a lot of credits".
Hi, I'm Lucas. Did you see what I did there? I lied. I don't have a lot of credits. Most of my credits are gone from going to the club and buying drinks. And now I spent 80 credits on a makeup set this girl wanted. Why did I spend that much? I mean, I know why I did it, but I'm still questioning myself. It's a good thing we get credits at the start of every month. When I see those 2500 credits transferred to my account, I feel like a millionaire. Getting money by doing nothing feels good, and having it sit in my account for no reason feels wrong. I still have about 1500 credits left, which sounds good, but it really isn't. David, Benjamin and Ray have a lot; I think they have over 4000 credits. They don't spend much, but Malakai and William do. They're not as bad as me, so I'm sure they have more than me. I used to be good at saving and spending credits on stuff that was needed, but a whole new world has opened up for me. Night life. This freedom is amazing. How can I not spend? I'm getting off-topic here. Anyway, I've got a dilemma. I don't know who to pick. Elizabeth or Jessica. Jessica or Elizabeth. The blonde or the brunette. I'm currently on a date with Jessica. She's a brunette from class 1-D. Today, we went out to eat and did a bit of window shopping until the last store, where I actually bought something. Which I regret, a lot. But I'm sure I'll end up with something better later. A few days before, I went on a date with Elizabeth, a blonde from class 1-A. For that date, we didn't do much. It was kinda like a study date; we walked around and talked, then ended up at the library and talked some more. She taught me stuff that was needed for class, which was great. Totally different from today's date. Just for clarification, they invited me out on the date; I didn't invite them. From this piece of information alone, it is clear they're interested in me; I'm not an idiot. I'm not like those main characters in romance animes who have no clue the girl likes them until the second season or something like that. I don't know if that's true; I hear Malakai, William and Ray talk about romance anime sometimes. I don't know how they can talk about romance; they're probably like those main characters. None of them have been in a relationship except David. To be fair, Benjamin and Ray could get a girlfriend if they wanted to. Malakai's an idiot, and William needs a glow-up. Okay, he's not that ugly, but he could change his image a bit. I'm getting off-topic again; I'm trying not to think about my current situation. Back to the main point, I got introduced to both of them when we were on the same team for the last challenge. I gave them both my number after the challenge ended, and since then, I've texted both of them. I've got to know them, and I want them both. Aarghhh! If only I could do that, but my friends would kill me. I've never two-timed before, but this time, I'm really tempted. I've had no problems in life. My family is good; my relationship with my parents and siblings is good. My family is good financially; we've never struggled with anything. I've got a lot of friends, some here and some back home. The only problem I've had is with girls. I'm no stranger to girls. I knew I was good-looking when I was younger because all the girls wanted me. I've never had a long-lasting relationship. I think my longest was eight months, but it's not my fault. I attract pretty girls. Pretty girls with ugly intentions. And every time, I fell for it. I may have messed up a few times with some of the girls, but every guy messes up once. And I was young, so I didn't know any better. Now I'm grown up, I know what to do and what not to do. I can think clearly now. You know what they say; think with your head, not your dick. I think that's a quote; I may have made that up right now. Anyway, I've been heartbroken before, but I've learnt from them. Those experiences have told me not to get too attached to a girl. So, right now, I'm not attached to either Elizabeth or Jessica. I don't know that much about them, but I do know they are beautiful, and they want me. So I want them. But I can only choose one. You see my problem here?
Elizabeth is more reserved, while Jessica is more forward. Elizabeth is more interesting to talk to, while Jessica is more fun to talk to. Elizabeth can teach me stuff, while Jessica can learn stuff with me. Jessica is a little clumsy, which is cute, while Elizabeth is graceful, which is attractive. Jessica is pretty, while Elizabeth is cute. Elizabeth or Jessica. Elizabeth or Jessica. Elizabeth or Jessica. Blonde or brunette. I want both.
