Chapter 477 - Did you imagine

"Why don't you guys look like a newly wedded couple? Did you guys fight with each other so soon? What are you doing here instead of going on a honeymoon?" Joe hadn't noticed her reaction.

Sky didn't know why she felt like laughing but she controlled and lightly briefed why they got married. "... In fact, at last, he said it's not required. Do you remember you called me to ask about this trip here?"

Joe nodded, "That time we were in marriage bureau. After talking with you I signed the paper. So we are just lawfully married. Nothing else."

Joe analyzed and remembered about her questions and his answer on that day. "Was that the reason you asked those questions?" Sky hummed. "So you married because his grandmother likes you and wished for it."

Sky who had finished checking pictures. She returned his camera and replied, "That's how I convinced myself." 

Joe was smart enough to understand what she meant. Seeing her looking at Arlo, he didn't know whether to call her an idiot for not understanding herself or stupid think their marriage as just lawfully valid.

Sky hadn't told him how Arlo told her to marry him.

Seeing his mood complex, Sky tried to made fun, "Advantage of this marriage is I got a free best chef."

But Joe didn't know whether to laugh or give a hard flick on her head. At least he was happy that she shared it with him instead of hiding which she could have done easily.

Soon they had dinner and slept in their tents excluding two who slept near fire camp. Sky wanted to stay outside to watch stars but ultimately she was sent to a tent by three men giving numerous reasons.

The difficulty level increased on the second day. But Sky coped up with them. She took help only when there were steeps that she couldn't handle.

That day night too, They camped on a different hilltop. One who looked down on Sky apologized and asked, "Young miss! You look very delicate but you are strong. Do you workout? Your stamina is pretty good too."

Arlo who was sitting next to her having their dinner furrowed his brows. He didn't know whether he should be happy that she was getting praised or sad for attracting too much attention from them.

"I do!" Sky gave a curt reply.

He wanted to say something but sensing cold glare from Arlo, he shut his mouth. Sky who was sitting next to him didn't notice but others did...

Third day afternoon, they reached their destination. Joe could understand their language but he didn't know to talk. One of his teammates knew the basics about it and managed to converse.

It took them nearly two hours to convince them for cooperating. A few of them mingled with the tribe and looked around.

Sky was either with Sam or Arlo or Joe. She didn't dare to move around freely as she felt they were looking at them like aliens.

They had tanned skin and most of them looked very serious. She felt they were unfriendly and cruel-looking at there stripped short skirt which was made of animal skin and X/crossed cloth on the upper body of men. Few had feather crown of different color and only one had long feather crown who was head of the tribe aged around mid-fifties.

Women wore skirts that were wrapped tightly and the top was too short which covered what it should cover. Their slim or plump waist and belly were exposed. Looking at half-exposed people around them, she didn't know how to react.

"What are you thinking?" Sam saw her stand still for a long time.

"Searching for your girlfriend." She teased but it was more like calming herself.

Sam's face darkened instantly. Sky lightly chuckled and asked, "Don't they feel cold?"

Arlo who came behind her answered, "They are immune to this temperature after living so long time."

Sky nodded and asked for fun without looking at him, "Do you want some?"

Only Sam understood what she meant. Arlo was confused and asked, "What?"

Sam replied before Sky, "Beauties around you."

Sky laughed hearing him, she would have just told ' them ' pointing group of women who were swooning at Joe and group who had the strong well-built muscled body. Whereas Sam and Arlo looked slender with respect to them.

Arlo's face turned rigid. After Sky stopped laughing he commented, "I already have the best."

Sky's lips twitched. Sam sensed both fuming and would start a battle any time unlike how normal couple blush or praise.

Sky faced Arlo and raised her brows, "Oh! Then help me search for the Best."

When she was leaving towards Sam, Arlo pulled her back to him, "So! You want the best in them?"

His voice wasn't gentle, it was emotionless which was difficult for Sky to understand whether he was angry or sad which always vexed her, "There is a difference between search and want. And are you sure you want to have a verbal fight with me here and now?"

Both glared at each other, Arlo was the one to react first. Sky's expression turned normal thinking she doesn't have to be the one he mentioned.

"Are you calling Mr.Ray as beauty? Not bad." Sky said and left him confused.

'Where did he come from out of blue? and why will I call him beauty?' He thought to himself looking at her going towards Joe.

Tribe left two huts for them. Sky and the other three stayed in one and rest four in another. When they got fresh and went out, they had prepared a huge fire camp and some were cooking dinner aside.

Joe and the team interviewed, took videos and pictures. Sky hung out with Arlo and Sam. The latter felt like there was a cold war between the other two.

Sky who was saying about something suddenly changed the topic, "Sam! Do you want to try that skirt?"

Sam knew well what was on her mind and she was also successful in her attempt. She started laughing looking at Sam's expression. His face was turning dark and darker.

Arlo couldn't understand it hence he remained silent as always.

Sky controlled again and asked seriously, "Did you imagine this skirt or white dress?"
