Chapter 16
DAY 8
Catherine
The next day is the next game. George and I were like strangers to each other!
He will never speak to me and quietly treated me.
And I don't know why the sudden change.
Yes, I changed too but I still value and choose our relationship over anything else.
But how about him? Treating me this way!
"George, we should win and get the prize," I said.
"Yeah," he answers lazily.
Just, what happened to him? Where's the warm and active George? Where's the energy and willingness to win?
"George, are you having a problem?" I asked.
"No, I don't have any problem," he answers.
"Are you sure? You seem no care at all! Especially in this game," I said.
"Don't start Catherine. I'm just stressed," he answer.
Catherine?!
"Now, you're calling me Catherine. Where's the babe?"
"You are doubting and accusing me again!" he suddenly raises his voice.
"I'm not, just asking what happened babe?" I asked but trying to control my voice.
Everyone is waiting for the host to arrive. I don't want to catch some attention.
I can see Vincent from afar, frowning at me!
I don't care at all. I must avoid him!
"Don't ask me. Because you make me like this!" he answers angrily.
Now, it's my fault? I don't understand at all! I'm confused by his sudden change of behavior.
The host surprisingly appear in the middle of the stage and I did not able to speak with George.
We should talk later. This is getting serious!
But every time that I want to talk to him. He will avoid me!
Just when the hell started that our relationship gone wrong?!
"Hello, Players! How are you all? Did you miss me?" The host cheerfully asked.
"Yeah!!!!"
"We miss you!!!
"Come on!"
They are all happy except me and George who has a sour face. And oh! There's Vincent who is now scowling at me!
"We are down to Game Five! And 100 players remain. Are you ready for the next game?!" He asks.
"We're ready!!!"
"Yes!!!"
"Bring it on!!!"
Everyone is ready and excited except us! I just hope that I will win this game. If not, I guess that it's much better! I can go home and go on with my life!
But I suddenly feel sad and look at Vincent.
What are you doing Catherine? Forget him!
I will never stop scolding myself!
"The Game Five is called the Temptress! Sounds tempting right? Hahaha." The host looks happy and excited.
"The mechanics are very simple. You are not allowed to be tempted! You are all given 30 minutes to look and drools at the temptation in front of you but no touching! Or else you will be disqualified and kicked out of the game! You are free to see but not touch!" It's a long explanation.
"Now, are you ready players?" He asks and dances with his signature moves.
"Ready!!" They answer in chorus.
"The Billionaire's Temptation Game Begins!" He said and disappear.
We are still located near the beach under a big tent.
Lots of sexy and beautiful women come out!
They are all beautiful having a perfect body!
Followed by hot and handsome boys! And all of them have perfectly sculpted abs and muscles.
But why do I suddenly remember Vincent's abs?
Damn!
I look at George and he remains calm. He's not tempted at all.
While the other men are drooling and feasting their eyes on the beauty in front of them.
The big men in black give us a chair to sit down.
While the Temptress which is the handsome men and women are in front of us.
Good thing that I am not tempted at all. But the Temptress will always tempt the players until they give in!
"Want to touch it?" The boy in front of me asks.
I didn't look at him and remained silent.
"Baby, you want to drink some milk?" The girl in front of George asks while showing off one of her nipples.
George just frowns and is not in the mood at all.
I'm supposed to get angry because she is flirting with George but I felt nothing!
"You don't like my abs, how about this one?" The boy asks me touching his hard d*ck and stroking it up and down.
But All I can see is Vincent's hardness! What happened to me?
The Vincent syndrome is starting again!
And I was saved by the sudden alarm! It's like the alarm of an ambulance.
Someone touches their temptress!!!
Many players didn't able to control their lustful desires and succumb to temptation!
The boy in front of me takes off his shorts!
I look at George but his eyes are somewhere else.
He doesn't care at all if I'm tempted or not!
I don't like what I'm seeing. The boy thought that I like it and his very proud of his small d*ck! I thought it will become long like Vincent but it remain small and hidden inside of his brief!
I want to laugh out loud but I'm afraid to cause misunderstanding. I remain quiet.
"Baby, how about this!" The girl in front of George takes off her skirt.
Showing off her sexy pink underwear! I look at George and he is angry.
"Get lost," he whisper.
But I heard it!
Well, that's good but I don't care!
What is happening to me?
Did I fall out of love?
Why?!
The girl in front of him pouted her lips and shakes her head.
"You're so strong! I think you will win haha." She said laughing.
My eyes went far and found Vincent. He remains calm too and pissed off!
The girl in front of her is showing off her red bikini and she's very sexy!
All parts of her body are almost perfect. I suddenly feel ashamed of my average body!
But Vincent said that I'm sexy!
Oh! Why it's him again? I should stop thinking of him!
Focus Catherine!
"Get away from me!" Vincent scream.
I can see that he is trying to control his anger.
Why join in this kind of contest if he easily gets irritated?
And now the girl in the red bikini run away!
It's funny but the Temptress won't stop in front of me until the time is up!
"Come on, touch it!" he said biting his lips to seduce me.
But I find it funny and couldn't help myself from laughing out loud.
All eyes are on me!
What did I do?
I think I'm allowed to laugh?!
George just look at me while Vincent from afar is sending death glares!
"Wow, you're a strong couple!" The Temptress in front of me said.
I just smile at him and finally, the time has ended!
We are saved by Vincent Syndrome. What am I talking about again?!
You should erase Vincent from your system Catherine!
"Players, are you still alive?! Just joking! hahaha." The host appears cheerfully.
"Now! How many players are left?!" He asked in suspense.
"Damn! I'm out!
"Better luck next time, Damn Temptress!"
"I survived!"
People have mixed answers to his questions.
"Only 50 players left! The Game is getting hotter and bolder! Brace yourself for the remaining temptation Game!" He announced.
We are down to 50 players and we survived!
I look at George happily but he seems sad!
"Congratulations to us, George. We managed to survive," I said.
He looks at me and nods his head.
"Yeah, I'm glad," he answered.
He's very cold! I might freeze if it will continue.
"See you for the next round of Game!" The host said and dance his signature move, then disappear.
"Do you have a problem?" I ask.
We should talk it out!
"Nothing, it's just..." he answers hanging.
"What? Tell me! You need to be honest with me George," I answer.
"Congratulations, friends!" Fred suddenly appears out of nowhere.
Smiling all ears he passed the Temptress Game.
"Thank you, Fred. Congratulations to you too." I said and smile.
George didn't speak and is quiet beside me.
"Thank you," he answers. "There's a small celebration at the cafeteria. Wanna join?" he asks.
People love celebration and food. But I want to rest and talk to George honestly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. I can't join." I answer.
"Oh, you should take a rest then and take care of your health."
"Thank you,"
"Let's go, George," I said and hold his hand but he throws it away!
And it hurts!
Why he is acting this way?!
"You take a rest, I will join the party." He said without looking at me.
This will not do! If he doesn't love and care for me at all. He will say it in front of me.
Why giving me this cold treatment?
"No! We will talk. And you will tell me what's the problem!" I suddenly raise my voice and I don't care at all.
I know that people who are watching me will be disappointed with my sudden behavior.
But I don't care!
I want to save this relationship but if George will leave me, then I will let him go.
But I don't like this cold treatment at all!
"You should stop making scandal Catherine." he looks at me sharply.
"We will talk later," then just like that he left me!
The hell with him!
"George!" I shouted but he didn't look back.
If this is what he wants, then be it!
"Karma strikes so soon." I was surprised by the voice and it's Vincent!
"Karma your ass! Just wait for your own Karma!' I said and leave him.
"You're my karma, Catherine." He seriously said and I stop walking.
I turn around and said...
"Stay away from my life!" I said angrily.
He just chuckled and get near me.
"What to do? I want to get near you..." he whispers and I can feel his warm breath tempting me!
I push him away.
"I don't care, I want you to get lost!"
"Too bad! But I want you badly!' he answers.
Damn, Devil Bastard!
