Chapter 126 [Bonus Chapter] I’ll Kiss You!

Day Twelve…

~~*****~~

Abigail couldn't take her eyes off Nathan. Her gaze was glued on him as he was inching closer and closer to them.

Nathan was no longer wearing his black pants and long sleeves. He totally transformed after fifteen minutes. Nathan was now wearing a white open shirt, revealing his excellent physique. He partnered it up with below-the-knee beach shorts.

His sturdy chest and eight-pack abs caught Abigail's attention right away. She couldn't help but gulped hard as her eyes wandered on his body.

Not only Abigail, but several pairs of eyes were looking at Nathan, admiring and fantasizing about his muscular physique. He was like a model in a men's magazine. In fact, his body was on par with them. He was like a Greek god.

'Damn! What did he suddenly change into that?' Abigail lamented to herself as she could see other women feasting their eyes on Nathan's body.

Veronica, Kathleen, and Stephen finally noticed Nathan and his new attire.

Veronica: "..."

Kathleen: "Holy Crap! Nathan Sparks… changed his clothes?! For real?!"

Stephen: "Eh? Is that my best friend?"

Stephen reflexively gazed down to look at his own body, comparing it to Nathan's. Stephen could only scratch his head as he had to admit that Nathan beat him this time in this beachwear category.

"I shouldn't have taunted him a while ago," Stephen mumbled, smiling sheepishly.

Nathan usually ignored his provocation and teasing. Who would have thought that he would take Stephen's words seriously and change his clothes?

"Can I join you?" Nathan asked Stephen as soon as he reached their spots.

"Sure, Nate. We are going to play beach volleyball. We are supposed to play two versus one. But since you are here, we can divide ourselves evenly!" Stephen responded, rolling the ball in his hand.

"I like that! Stephen and I will partner up!" Kathleen didn't waste time as she moved closer to Stephen, hooking her arms at his elbow.

For the first time, Nathan finally heard something he liked to hear from Kathleen. Of course, he would like to partner up with Abigail.

"Can't we just do it as boys versus girls?" Abigail suggested. She didn't know if she could concentrate on playing if a handsome Adonis was with her.

"No, Abi! Do you want us to lose? Stephen and Nathan will not give their best as they will underestimate us." Kathleen objected because she wanted to be paired up with Stephen.

She looked at Abigail meaningfully, pleading with her to just agree. Besides, she thought Abigail was also trying to bond with Nathan.

"Okay, fine. I will team up with Nathan." Abigail agreed. Then she glanced at Nathan. "Play well, or else, I will beat you if they beat us!" Abigail threatened Nathan.

Nathan raised his eyebrow and said, "I should be the one telling you that. Don't hold me back."

Stephen and Kathleen both burst out laughing.

"Both of you are going to lose. You don't have teamwork. We haven't started yet but you are already fighting each other." Kathleen teased Abigail and Nathan.

"To spice up our game, we should make a bet!" Stephen suggested.

? The four of them hadn't decided yet when Veronica suddenly showed up, joining them.

"This is unfair! I want to play as well!" Veronica demanded.

Kathleen and Abigail just looked at her with their ridiculing gaze.

"But we already divided ourselves equally. Don't mess up our team match. You should wait and play a game after us," Kathleen said sarcastically.

Veronica was on the verge of losing her patience with Kathleen. Kathleen really knew how to annoy her.

"You can substitute me if I get injured," Kathleen added, smiling wickedly to provoke Veronica further.

"You can team up with Nathan once Kathleen and I are done playing," Abigail also commented, supporting Kathleen's suggestion. The two ladies were clearly ganging up against Veronica.

"Alright! Let's make our bet now!" Stephen had no intention of helping out Veronica. He was focused on Abigail and Kathleen.

"Okay. I'll go first!" Kathleen raised up her hand enthusiastically. "If our team will win, I want Nathan to carry Abigail on his back and run 20 laps here!"

Both Abigail's eyes and Veronica's eyes widened when they heard that punishment. But Nathan didn't comment on it. Only he was cool about the punishment. He didn't mind it.

Then Kathleen gave Abigail another meaningful glance. She already confessed to Abigail that she liked Stephen. So right now, she was signaling Abigail to make a punishment which she would enjoy together with Stephen.

Understanding Kathleen's intention, Abigail also thought of a punishment that was favorable to Kathleen.

"Ok. If Nathan and I will win… Stephen has to kiss Kathleen on the lips!" Abigail declared to them, making the group fall silent.

Kathleen: "..."

Stephen: "..."

Nathan: "..."

Veronica: "..."

Abigail's punishment was not the one in Kathleen's mind. She went overboard!

It was Stephen who broke the awkward silence first by laughing. "Hey, Abi… Do you think it's too much punishment?" Stephen was being cautious because Kathleen was Aiden's cousin. Aiden might beat him.

"Of course not. I'm an actress… so I think kissing someone is not a big deal." Abigail justified her words with her innocent look.

"Have you done it with your fellow actors?" Nathan asked Abigail with a serious look on his face.

"Of course! I'm an actress, remember? Kissing scenes are part of our work." Abigail said confidently, although she wasn't sure if the real Abigail already did it or not.

Meanwhile, Nathan's lips twitched fighting a smile as he recalled something. Abigail kissed him and the way she kissed him felt like it was her first time doing it with a guy.

'That is a lie,' Nathan thought to himself. He could tell that Abigail was inexperienced when it came to kissing.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? You don't believe me, do you?" Abigail scowled at Nathan.

Nathan tried his best to hold her laughter. He turned around and cleared his throat.

"Cough. Nothing. I just forgot that you are an actress."

Abigail lifted an eyebrow and challenged Nathan. "Hmm. Do you want me to prove it to you here? I'll kiss you!"

Nathan: "..."

Stephen: "..."

Kathleen: *Smiling broadly*

Veronica: "S#@!!!" (Fuming with rage)
