the one to leave me is you

chapter 20

as planned by Thelma, Carter entered the gaming center with a mask on.

"are my rival for this evening?"Liv asked curious, Carson nodded "ok then"she said and the game started.

*********

"ouch!!"Carter cried,he has been defeated 20 times in a row,he didn't know he was that bad of a player or maybe Liv is just too good at playing.

"I have won so you have to keep your promise by honoring My order"she said with a smirk,"why should I Honor your order when you obviously cheated?"Carter said.

Liv looked at him like he had two heads"are you kidding me right now,I didn't cheat, you were just too bad for a player,I wonder if you have ever played a game before"Liv huffed.

Carter was too embarrassed to refute her,"what do you want me to do then?"he asked cautiously"your voice seems familiar to me, get your mask off so I can see your face"she said expectantly.

Carter was nervous but he nodded "a real man should always keep to his words"he said and opened the mask.

"what!! Carter!!"Liv exclaimed surprised"I have something to do I should leave now "Carter said and ran out.

Carter's face was full of embarrassment you when he approach Thelma.

"how did it go?, she fell for you didn't she?then you....."Thelma stopped when she saw Carter embarrassed face,"she defeated you?"she asked.

"it's all your fault, you didn't tell me she was that good of a player "Carter lamented, seeing him sulk Thelma burst out laughing.

"what is funny? Carter asked agitated,"you look funny senior so I had to laugh by the way senior I want you to help and create a time for me and senior Carson next tomorrow at our school field"Thelma said.

Carter scoffed"why should I help you when your advice for me failed".

but you promised you can't possibly fail your own promise "Thelma said unhappily.

"alright I will help you but you own me one "he said, Thelma nodded quickly and was about to leave when she missed her footing.

argh!!"she shouted about to fall but a hand grabbed her waist pushing her to a sturdy chest.

"be careful Thelma, don't get yourself hurt when you have a mission to complete"he said his breath fanning her face.

"urgh... thank you senior, I have to go now before my sister suspects that I am missing"she said and hurriedly left with a red face.

"that was close Thelma remember that you have to hide your feelings for Carter because he likes your sister, moreover Carson is your childhood crush, you should go for him instead "Thelma thought to herself.
