The She-devil

"Welcome dear lovers. Do you wish to play the game. If you manage to hit all the six targets you can win this lovely big teddy bear as a prize! So what do you say?"

"You better win me that teddy bear otherwise...I will turn you into a teddy bear and trust me...it won't be for hugging and cuddling!" Threatened Nicole as she gave Davis a warning look.

Davis sighed and said, "Look lady! I only agreed to pretend to be your boyfriend in order to escape the 'tiger' called my Captain. Either way he is still going to deal with me. But I am not going to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore. So please enjoy your festival and leave me alone, okay." And he started walking away until Nicole's words stopped him in his tracks.

"I wonder which story would make your Captain more pissed. Either 'You and I were already dating and we were lovers before this whole entire thing came about and we continued to see each other since we didn't know it would come to this point'. Or 'You were so dumb and stupid enough to easily get caught and exposed whilst doing your secret mission of spying on Patricia'. I could even tell him about the time you even secretly took pictures of her in her underwear at the Spa when we were getting ready for our beauty treatment. Or I could just show him this." Then she showed him the screen of her phone and a video started playing, 'Oh...Oh..Patricia..I really wish I could just f...'

Davis immediately grabbed the phone and stopped the video whilst his face was pale stricken with disbelief.

Nicole laughed out loud at him, "Seriously a bottle..hahaha! Man! You seriously need to get real..hahaha!"

Davis looked down at the ground his face flushed with embarrassment whilst Nicole kept on laughing.

"Okay! Okay! That's enough!!" He yelled that passersby looked at them making him feel more embarrassed.

Nicole then calmed down and said, "So...Babe...is it going to be the teddy bear or the video."

Davis did not reply but cursed under his breath and took hold of the balls used to hit the targets in the game. He hit all the six targets and won a very big brown teddy bear.

Nicole chuckled delightfully as she received her gift. "Oww thanks Babe!" Then she kissed him on his cheek and continued, "You truly know how to treat your girl right." Then she cutely pouted and blinked her eyes at him.

'This woman is a beautiful devil! What did I get myself into..' complained Davis.

"Now come on Babe! We still have to visit the snack booths! And I am craving for some hotdogs right now!" Said Nicole and she grabbed Davis' arm and she dragged him with her to the food stalls.

After surveying and tasting food from numerous food stalls, Nicole and Davis found space on a sitting booth and sat down to relax for a while.

"Oh my gosh. I feel so stuffed. I can't believe I ate so much in just an hour. Uurrg! I hope I won't gain some weight otherwise all my efforts to maintain these luscious curves will be for nothing." Whined Nicole.

Davis looked at Nicole intently. She truly was also a beauty with long wavy brown hair, luscious breasts and curvy hips with a full backside, brown eyes, small flat nose, light creamy skin and pink soft lips.

"You better not be drooling over me. I am sorry but I am not interested in dogs who move around humping every female dog they come across in heat. I am a well sophisticated lady... groomed to be prim and proper like a princess...so you better treat me with respect or else...you won't know what's coming next..." said Nicole.

'Princess, my ass. You are nothing but a hooligan and a 'she -devil' from hell. A beautiful 'she-devil' actually. If you were right in the head I would have gladly complied to be your boyfriend for real, but hell! Tsk! That would be like walking in hell...owww' thought Davis until he was interrupted by a firm kick on his leg by Nicole.

"Owww damn you hooligan! Is that the way to treat your boyfriend jeez...! And you call yourself a princess!"

"I am, a princess. But only to those who deserve my sweet side because I am also merciless to those roaches that dare to curse me in their minds whilst sitting right in front of me! If you weren't a handsome roach, I would have gladly ripped an eyebrow or two, alongside with a broken lip. But since you are so handsome I guess it will not be fair for me to move around with a disfigured boyfriend but...that doesn't mean I will be lenient to other parts of his body." Said Nicole and she leaned forward and said in a low sweet but chilling voice, " I will make sure to discipline him until he learns not to cross me...ever again.." then she dropped her eyes to between his legs and gave a chilling smile. Davis gulped at seeing the chillness in her eyes whilst looking at his precious treasure and he wondered what this hooligan would do to him. Then as if the winds have shifted, Nicole's smile became brighter and she said in an enthusiastic tone, "Oh my gosh! Is that a lantern! I guess they are going to the 'Lovers' Stream'!"

Then she stood up and said, "Come on Babe! Let's go place our lantern in the stream as well. I truly want to do it this year!"

Then she started heading towards the Lovers' Stream whilst navigating her way through the throng of other couples heading there.

Davis remained seated at his place for a while whilst dumbfounded. 'This woman is truly a 'she-devil', a chameleon. How did he end up being entangled with her..huh..'. He then contemplated to follow her or just leave but he knew if he chose the later, he would see a greater hell than the one of his Captain. So he shook his head and sighed and followed Nicole to the Lovers' Stream.

"Look, Babe! I bought us a pretty lantern!" Said Nicole in all smiles as she showed Davis a pretty rose printed lantern.

Then she moved towards the bridge and said, "Come on, Babe. Let's make our wish and float the lantern."

Davis followed her and stood beside her whilst watching as other couples floated their lanterns. He snorted and said, "I can't believe that you actually believe in such stupidity! You truly amaze me hooligan. And here I thought you were sensible. Tsk..tsk...too bad."

"Well my dear roach...love is not stupidity...and besides the stream does make your dreams come true." Replied Nicole and she lighted the lantern.

Davis snorted and said, "Oh really? Haa! So...what wish of yours came true, huh! Tell me?"

Nicole shook her head and sighed. Then she took hold of Davis's hand and placed the lantern between them and said, "Three years ago, I came here with my previous boyfriend, and I wanted to float a lantern with him but he duped me and left with another woman he hitted on right in this festival. I was so angry and disappointed that I vowed not to attend another festival again. But in my anguish a kind woman said to me that...the Lovers' Stream is not for couples only that wish for love but also for those single ones that wish for love as well. So she encouraged me to float a lantern and make my wish for love. So I did, and it came true today."

Then she stopped and sighed. Davis also sighed and said, "Your wish didn't come true hooligan. You don't have a lover, besides this meeting is only temporary and you and I are never going to see each other again after this. So stop believing in those folklore shit and get your head straight because shit like that ain't real."

"But my wish did come true! I wished that in three years time I would visit the Lovers' Stream with a new boyfriend. But not just any boyfriend but a 'roach' that I would torment, violate and dump all my frustration on however and whenever I like. So I thought since my previous boyfriend tormented me, so why can't I also torment my new boyfriend if he also turns out to be a 'roach'. So my wish came true because I am back at the Lovers' Stream and with a roachy boyfriend, who I am going to torment, violate and dump my frustration on however and whenever I like, and I also wish he will keep me entertained until he becomes....mmm useless to me."

Davis could feel his veins about to pop in disbelief as he looked at Nicole dumbfounded. He could feel a headache coming. 'This woman...this hooligan...she truly is a she-devil indeed! How the hell did I get entangled with her. Not only is she a hooligan but she has some screws loose as well. Captain, I am going to make you pay for getting me involved with this beautiful terror. When this mission is over you are going to feel my wrath.'

"Look hooligan if you think...." but before he could finish talking Nicole moved him towards the edge of the bridge and placed the lantern into the stream and it started floating away.

"There! Our lantern has floated away! Now our wish will come true! Isn't that great Babe!" Exclaimed Nicole as she smiled at Davis.

Davis looked at her in disbelief and before he could retaliate, she said, "Oooh...looks like we are not the only two destined lovers tonight. Aaah...I guess love is truly in air tonight."

Davis turned around to see what Nicole was talking about and his eyes landed on his Captain and the woman of his fantasy floating a lantern together and engaging in passionate kissing.

"I guess that video is going to come in handy now huh..."

Davis turned to face Nicole after she said those words. Nicole just smiled at him and continued, "So you better not irk me my dear sweet Roach otherwise I won't get the chance to torment you any more since someone else would have beaten the daylights out of you. But don't worry I will be gentle with you as long as you obey..." then she hugged Davis's waist and placed her head on his chest and said, "This is really nice, Babe. Let's visit again next year."

Just as she finished saying those words fireworks started booming in the night sky and Nicole giggled and turned to look at them in awe. "Oh Babe look! Fireworks! Wow they are so beautiful."

For others it was a marvelous display but to Davis it felt like that was the explosion of his life. A reality that he was now in hell and with no way out. Davis felt like crying as he looked at his predicament and he turned around to see the person responsible for his misery only to see her in all smiles watching the fireworks without a flinch of sympathy to the misery that she put him in. 'Tsk! This woman is truly a 'she-devil' indeed. But it doesn't matter. Who said that devils cannot also be tamed. You brought this upon yourself hooligan and don't blame me if your 'roach' decides to fight back and tame you. And I just can't wait to get started'. Then he smiled whilst looking at Nicole and then he turned to look at the fireworks display.
