Chapter 74 Descent To The End (1)

" This is a bad idea...", Katherine proclaimed as we stealthily walked out of the farm of 'joy'.

I ignore her nervous chatter and lead us to where the music was coming from and it was a sight to behold,

La Strawberryina was basically a very large procession filled with people from all walks of life. A huge, when I say huge....I mean humungous truck filled to the brink with strawberries was slowly driven through the middle of the procession. All the houses were covered with plastic sheets to avoid messing the house up.

A group of people stood inside the trunk of the truck along with the strawberries and hosed people with water while the people danced to the festive music.

The truck stops in the middle of the procession and unloads the whole load of strawberries unto the ground and then begins the largest food fight in the world.

Seeing all this in person was.....just as perfect as I thought it would be.

" I'm not so sure about this, Adam....it looks way too messy.", Katherine complained.

...

I should have left her at that stupid farm.

" Being messy once in awhile isn't that bad, Kathy.", I say in a mocking tone.

She glares at me but before she can retort I drag her and join the procession.

We or I dance to the music while slowly moving forward in the procession. My goal was to reach just behind the truck since that's the best spot. All those heavenly strawberries fall right on you...you'll literally be swimming or drowning in a sea of strawberries.

But it was going to be tough since that was the most sought after place inside the whole procession, so I use a little bit of my strength and push through the crowd holding Katherine's hands.

Katherine's POV

________________

I slightly blushed looking at his hand that held mine within it's grasp.

How can he act so brazen with a lady ?

We danced and moved forward at the same time, the more we moved forward the more crowded it became, but strangely I find this messy festival... kind of fun. I was starting to get into the dancing a little bit now.

Adam was prancing [ dancing ?] around like an idiot, so I felt the need to do something as well, but I stop dancing as we suddenly stop in our tracks.

" What happened ?", I ask Adam who looked forward with a smile on his face.

" We're here."

That's all he says, but looking at the truck which had come to a halt in front of us...I understood his intention.

No...I'm not going anywhere near that thing.

" Adam, I don't think I-", but before I could complete what I was saying Adam dashes forward, dragging me with him.

Adam finally lets go my hand as we reach just behind the truck.

" I didn't wan-"

I'm yet again interrupted [ seems to be happening a lot] but this time it wasn't Adam, the trunk of the truck had been opened up leading all the strawberries towards us.

The strawberries are everywhere....

It's a nightmare....

To make it worse, I slip down and was falling right now. To avoid my fall I try to find something to hang on too, which I do find but it's weird....the object felt squishy....was it a strawberry ?

As soon, I get hold of the object....a pained groan reaches my ear and I look to the side to find my hand on Adam's....'thing'.

.....

Adam falls on top of me and we roll around the ground.

Adam's POV

______________

Well this is awkward.....

After the whole 'smashing my penis' debacle, we decide that the both of us had enough of the festival.

We were sitting in a bench in a park while silently munching on some strawberry scones.

The atmosphere was, as anyone can imagine a little awkward.

Katherine hadn't spoken a word since the incident, but I seriously don't understand what the issue was here ?

This isn't that big of a deal right ?

I mean, sure my groin still hurts like hell but there wasn't anything else to it, it was an accident....unfortunately it wasn't a lewd accident like the ones we see in cultured works....it was a rather painful one...

' My poor babies..', I think while slowly savoring my food.

" I'm sorry..", Kathrine says very quietly.

" What was that again ?", I ask amused.

Katherine's face was red like a tomato as she repeated her words,

" I'm sorry."

" For what ?", I ask grinning.

But it seems that she's had enough of my teasing as she shouts causing passerby's to look at us,

" I'M SORRY FOR TOUCHING YOUR BALLS !!"

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Across from us, a group of mother's had gathered together and were watching their children play in the park. Both the children and the mothers turn around to look at us.

I wave at them while putting a smile on my face.

.....

Maybe I shouldn't have teased her that hard.

~~~~

" I've never been kicked out of a park before...", I say while walking aimlessly through the streets of Kauai.

Katherine remained silent as we walked aimlessly.

She was a little down from the beginning....am I that bad of a tour partner ?

Or is it something else ?

" You know...you didn't touch my balls...it's more like you crushed them.", I say.

Seeing her turn bright red, I smile thinking,

'Finally...a reaction !'

" I said I'm sorry...", she says looking a little guilty.

" Do you think a simple 'sorry' will be enough ?"

I get closer to her until the only thing I could see was her, I could feel her breath on me...she smelled like strawberries...I suppose everybody here smells like strawberries.

" You're going to have to take responsibility."

She tries to back away, but shakes her head and closes her eyes.

I smash the scone I had in my hand into her face.

What did she think was going to happen ?

Did she think I was going to kiss her....seeing that she closed her eyes and all..did she want me to kiss her ?

Geez, girls are weird.

The shock on her face was a sight to see.

She starts running after me with her crepe in hand, I run for my life.

By the time we were done, the both of us were a mess.

We both had stains of strawberries on our clothes, after the food we had had finished we continued our fight with the strawberries that were lying around on the streets.

We were on the ground, panting for air...dead tired.

I look at the blood like stains on my clothes and say,

" This isn't gonna come off that easily..."

Katherine starts laughing at my words and I smile a little as well.

All in all, today wasn't that bad.

~~~~

We returned to the resort after a quick snack stop.

Eric, Emilia and Max had recovered but decided to stay in the resort until the auction, but that didn't mean that they were just sitting on their asses. They mooched of Eustace as much as they could.

They used the resort's exclusive options...like using the pool, get massages and having a lot of food.

....

Shameless Bastards.

We greet them and tell them about our day, of course we leave out some details like the ball smashing....we promised each other to never talk about it again.

They didn't seem that sad about missing out on the festival.

After exchanging information, we decide that it would be better to start getting ready for the auction. Eustace had apparently said that he would arrive within an hour's time to take them to the auction house.

I go to my room and gather the things I needed.

After getting ready quickly , I start heading down.

Finally....it's time for the auction.
