Twenty Three 𒆜 Tell Me A Tale
Koya and Bel stayed wrapped in each other's arms until the band went to a set break and then they wandered around the grounds finding a cozy bench and sat down.
Koya's heart was beating with passion but he just didn't want to use the night for random make out sessions. He wanted to get to know Bel. To share himself with her and hopefully she would be able to share herself with him.
She shivered slightly and he noticed right away. "Are you cold?"
"It's a little chilly out here."
"Let's go back inside. Let's find Ava and Cayde and hang out. Is that okay?" He asked politely.
"Of course," Belicia responded in kind. "I'd love to see if she's having fun."
He walked them back and they made their way inside where they found Ava and Cayde playing skee ball.
"Whoa!" Koya shouted. "Let's play doubles!"
Ava laughed. Koya was such a kid. "Okay then, its girls against guys!"
"Awwww its on like donkey kong," Cayde hooted.
The four of them squared off against each other and before long they were having a blast. They played for a good hour and Koya noticed the band was beginning to get a little louder and he was hearing some rock and roll.
"Let's go dance," he told them. "Things are heating up out there."
They headed out together but Belicia held back. "I need to find a restroom first," she told them.
Ava stopped and told the guys to go ahead.
"Let's go upstairs and look around," she told Bel, quietly. "I want to see what all is up there."
"Come-on," Bel took her hand and they went in search of stairs. Back in the main foyer was where they found them. "We missed them looking at everything else," she laughed.
She and Ava took off and soon they were wandering around in awe. It was as insane up here as it was down there.
Belicia found a bathroom as big as her whole bedroom if not bigger and she turned around in it several times as Ava stood in the door.
"There's another bathroom just down the hall, I'll go there" she said and took off.
Bel closed the door, marveling at the black marble and silver hardware. She looked in the shower and it was bigger than a sauna with a whole row of rain shower fixtures.
When she finally took care of the reason she was there she washed her hands and dried them on a tiny little towelette which hung from a countertop towel tree and she folded it nicely and laid it on the counter before opening the door to leave when her phone buzzed.
She took it from her back pocket and saw a text from Tuto. How did he even get my number, Bel mumbled to her self with a frown. He probably wanted to moan about her standing him up when he promised to prove how Koya and Desi had a whole relationship behind her back. Ava was right. Not that Bel didn't know Tuto was an opportunist. She would text him right back and tell him to get lost. She was done listening to his sob stories and she fully determined to do just that but when she opened the text she sucked in her breath with horror.
There, in full color was a picture of Koya and Desiree kissing. The picture was taken on the back veranda by the dance floor because she could see couples dancing behind them. Below it Tuto had written one sentence. 'I told you.'
Just as her heart was breaking, a flood of images suddenly downloaded filling her phone with one after another, damning images of Koya and Desiree kissing, from the veranda into a side door and down a hall to a bedroom. Bel couldn't look any more.
A garbled scream left her mouth and she clenched her phone in anger. Suddenly Ava was there and when Bel met her eyes, she burst into tears.
Ava tore Bel from the doorway and jerked her into her arms and held her as her emotions spilled forth. They stood there a long time until Bel was hiccuping, her breaths catching in her throat. "Come on Bel, we're getting out of here. They all deserve each other."
"No. We've only been gone ten minutes Ava!" she choked. "Did they fall in each other's arms as soon as we left? Because it sure looks like it! How else do you explain all these pictures?" Bel held her phone out. "I'm going to find Tuto right now," Belicia cried as she took off down the stairs. Ava followed her but her destination was Desiree.
As she entered the foyer she could see Tuto standing with several of his fanboys just inside the great room where Desiree had been earlier making out with Olivia and she headed directly toward him only to stop mid stride and stare in open amazement at something she was seeing that made her blink in sheer disbelief.
There, swishing about like a flag of glory, a tail, and it hung below the black khaki shorts he had on and every so often it twitched or flopped around like it had a mind of its own.
Belicia clapped a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming out loud.
Some of Tuto's boys saw her, saw the look of surprise and horror and tapped Tuto, pointing in her direction. Tuto turned slightly, saw her face, and looked down to see what she was looking at, finding that he slipped up and allowed his tail to manifest in the most terrifying way.
He immediately swished it out of sight even as he strode purposely in her direction. Bel began to back up in fear and ran back the way she had come, bolting for the front door. She jerked it open and took off just as Tuto reached her and he took off after her leaving the door wide open in his wake.
He quickly caught up to her and grabbed her arm, slinging her around into his arms. She screamed and cried and beat her fist against his chest and he stood there and took it, holding her against him until it stopped.
