CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: CHILLI CONTEST

Thoughtful advice, if you wanna lash out at the one person you think you hate but actually love...don't go over to his house in the middle of the fucking night to do it. There I was, lying barely clothed wrapped around Luca's arms. How the fuck did I let this happen?

"I think it's time for you to go back, your friends might get back early and start looking for you" Luca said as he gave her hickies in between.

"Do you want me to go back?" Sianna asked with a grin.

"If I say no would that make a certain someone happy" Luca answered and then he quickly rolled over and got on top of Sianna.

"It depends...what do you plan to do to make that certain someone happy?" Sianna asked with a grin.

"Well, I plan to adore your body like the temple it is. I plan to adorn your golden skin with kisses until I have run out of body parts to kiss" Luca whispered as he slowly began kissing her neck down to her abdomen. Then he slowly got back up.

"I plan to use your lips to glorify mine so I can proclaim what tongues have never tasted" Luca whispered as Sianna let out giggles and then he slowly went for her lips and when his lips were against hers, he halted.

"Should I?" Luca whispered.

"You've never needed permission" Sianna declared as if impatient for his kiss and immediately after Sianna's statement, he grabbed her lips like it was just their first time kissing each other. His lips brushed hers, softly, delicately, just long enough that he could inhale her breath and feel the fervour of her skin. Sianna then withdrew herself from his lips.

"Can...this be our little secret, you and I?" Sianna asked nervously.

"Done" Luca said with a smile and then Sianna smiled. Then she knelt on the bed facing Luca who was also doing likewise.

"Where were we?" Sianna asked as she grabs Luca and kisses him. Then they both fell to the bed this time for intense. Everything was then brought to a halt when Jesse entered his room.

"Oh my God!" Jesse exclaimed

"Dude, what the fuck?" Luca cussed calmly.

"Why doesn't he ever locks his door" Sianna stressed to herself.

"So you're into serial killers now?" Jesse jeered.

"Shut the fuck up. How long have you been here?" Luca asked as he stood up from the bed putting on his trousers.

"Not too long ago. But dude, she tried to kill you...how on earth do you fall in love with someone who tried to kill you?" Jesse stressed.

"I'm literally right here douchebag" Sianna said annoyed.

"You're just mad cause I cheated on your friend" Jesse said not bothered by Sianna's comments.

"Hey Jesse, that's enough" Luca urged.

"Oh, that's nothing compared to how mad you'll be when you find out she's moved on with your friend" Sianna said confidently hoping it would beat Jesse up but it didn't to her surprise. Instead, he just smiled and immediately, Sianna sensed something fishy.

"Can we go out of my room now?" Luca asked Jesse as he showed him the way out. Jesse then left his room.

"Are you okay here or..." Luca asked Sianna and then she nodded her head.

"Ok cool. I'm sorry about the whole Jesse stuff" Luca apologised.

"No, it's fine" Sianna said with a smile and then Luca closed the door and went to attend to Jesse.

"Dude, pls tell me you don't love her. I know she's kinda pretty, plus she's got a nice ass but please, tell me you two aren't serious" Jesse begged.

"We are Jes and as from now on, she's not the bitch who tried to kill me or the grim reaper, or a serial killer or any of those shit Brody calls her. She's Sianna and if you don't know how to pronounce that then you have a lot more work to do in college than you think" Luca said in Sianna's defence.

"Luca...you're really in love" Jesse said in disbelief.

"So?" Luca asked unbothered.

"So? That was not the fucking plan bro. Now you're weak" Jesse said with disgust and immediately, Luca gave him a hard punch on the face.

"Hey, what the hell Luca?!" Jesse exclaimed.

"How's your face?" Luca asked.

"You just punched me Luca, how do you expect it to be?" Jesse exclaimed.

"Good, so the next time you ever call me weak because of a girl, I'll make sure to prove to you how strong I am. You got me?" Luca said sternly as he prepared himself some toast.

"Whatever. Make some for me as well" Jesse said as he took his seat on the couch. When Luca was done with the toast, he served Jesse some on a plate and took his likewise. Luca then sat on the couch and they began eating their toast.

"Did you attend the carnival?" Luca asked.

"Nope, Veronica was gonna be there and I haven't spoken to her since your party" Jesse said.

"Honestly, I don't know where I got my group of friends from. You guys are nothing like me" Luca sighed.

**************************

Meanwhile, at the carnival, Mindy had already planned out how Angelica would meet with Daniel and confess her feelings to him. He was in a chilli contest and all his friends including Callum, Brody, Mindy, Angelica, Leslie and Veronica were there to cheer him on. They had their time limit to get the chilli ready and when it was all done, the judges were prepared to give their final judgement and crown the winner. When they were done with the tasting, it was evident that Daniel's chilli made it to the top of their taste buds and they crowned him BCC's carnival chilli contest winner. His friends were very happy for him especially Angelica. They all gathered around him and threw him up and down in the air.

"This is your chance to talk to Daniel" Mindy said persuading Angelica to go talk to Daniel.

"I'm a bit nervous...do I look okay?" Angelica asked nervously.

"Angie, you look amazing. You two have been together for years, you shouldn't be this nervous" Mindy insisted.

"You're right, I'll be in the bathroom for a while. I'll be back soon" Angelica said rushing to the bathroom so Mindy wouldn't hold her back.

"You're just stalling!" Mindy yelled. Seconds later, she noticed Daniel's disappearance. All of a sudden, he was no longer in the crowd. She then sighted him running off with some girl to a corner. She quietly followed them and successfully went unnoticed.

"I told you you would win today, didn't I?" The girl said with a smile as she held Daniel's hands.

"And what do I get for this crown on my head?" Daniel asked with a grin.

"A kiss from your secret princess...and maybe more after tonight" The girl whispered as she grabbed Daniel's shirt. Both their lips mashed against each other. Mindy who stood there watching couldn't believe her eyes.

"Leslie?" She said to herself in disbelief and immediately, she left the scene.

The thing about carnival nights is that many things we don't plan to happen happens, and no one least expects it.
