Chapter 17- Whoopee Cushion

I groaned when the sunlight reached my eyes. I turned to my side to try and block out the sun but it was no use. The damn sun won’t leave me alone. I grumbled nonexistent words and stood up to close the curtains.

I went back to bed and closed my eyes once again. I snuggled to the warm thing beside me, this is comfortable. Just as I was starting to drift off to sleep, I felt something press against my bladder. Dammit! I need to pee!

I tried to remove the arm pressed on my bladder. My thoughts stopped on one word, ARM. With that realization, I jumped and went to defense mode. Newly awakened me got clumsy and let’s just say I ended up on the floor with a thud and the word “umph.”

Seth took that as a sign to wake up and look around the room. When he saw me on the floor, his face flashed confusion then turns to amusement. “What are you doing on the floor?”

“Because I’m in love with it, what do you think?” I snapped at him, I am grumpy this morning and every morning for that matter.

He let out a chuckle and held out a hand to help me up. Seeing as I’m already pissed, why not spread the love. I pulled him and he landed beside me on the floor. He glared at me but I was laughing so hard to even care.

“I am never helping you off the floor ever again.” He grumbled which had me laughing again. What is wrong with me? Maybe I’m becoming crazy.

“Are you sure you’re going to keep your word?” I raised an eyebrow and smirked. He tried not to smile but failed, he chuckled then stood up and carried me bridal style.

I was now blushing profusely and I kept my mouth shut as he carried me back to the bed which is about a foot from us. Maybe he’s exhausted, note the sarcasm. As much as I want to stay with him, my bladder is about to explode so I sprinted to the bathroom.

I did my morning routine and got out. I made my way towards the dining room to find my family, Amy and Seth eating breakfast without me.

I sat on the only empty chair which is between Seth and Amy. I piled food on my plate which consists of pancakes, bacon, eggs, blueberries and strawberries. Am I that hungry? I think not, I just really love food.

My father spoke as which silenced the whole table. “How about we have a barbecue?” With those words, Sarah squealed and clapped her hands.

Denise rolled her eyes at Sarah while Amy snickered at my sisters. Sometimes I think Denise is more mature than Sarah. Seth agreed to my father’s suggestion and we distributed tasks.

My mother and Amy are in charge of food, Denise wanted to make the drinks and help in the kitchen. Sarah took charge of designing, let her be, she loves designing things, she totally took the wrong course. My father is going to man the grill and that left Seth and I to buy the groceries.

There is now an awkward silence inside the car and I didn’t know what caused it. “Seth, can I ask a question?” I broke the silence that enveloped the car.

“Sure.” He was still looking at the road, he was wearing a button down shirt and jeans. His hair is disheveled which look so hot.

“Wh-why a-are y-you l-looking for a w-wife?” I stuttered, that is one example of his effects on me. He chuckled which had me turn into a walking tomato.

“I need an heir.” He has his business voice on, the same voice he has when I first called him a month after I moved.

“Why?” I had a confused face on and I don’t think he got my question because he put on an ‘are you serious?’ look.

“I mean, why now? Why hunt for a woman and not wait for love to come to you?” I tried to explain my question, I winced at the word love, and it felt weird saying it. I’m curious and I’m not entirely convinced her wanted to marry for his family. Why is he looking so hard?

“Because.” He sounded exasperated and I clamped my mouth shut. I do not want to upset him mainly because it would affect both of us and my parents would know something is up.

“Seth, hey.” I opened my mouth courageously and reached out to his face. When I was about an inch apart from his skin, I stopped. What am I doing? I clutched my hand tightly, afraid that I would reach out to him again.

I looked out the window throughout the rest of the ride. We are looking around for things to but when something caught my eye. An idea formed in my head and I grinned. I took the thing and tucked it under my armpit while Seth wasn’t looking.

We walked towards another empty isle and I farted rather loudly. I snickered in my head but prevented myself from doing it loudly. Seth stopped in his tracks and looked me skeptically. I shrugged his off and walked once again.

As soon as he started walking, I farted once again. Seth stopped and faced me, I tried so hard not to laugh, it’s a good thing he hadn’t noticed anything.

I skipped past him, farting with every step I take. I heard Seth laugh loudly and I tried to glare at him. He put up his hands when I narrowed my eyes at him. He shut up when he noticed I’m heading in his direction, farting all the way.

Seth was laughing so hard when I reached him. I slapped him lightly on the arm. “What is so funny?” I acted innocently.

He stopped snickering and gave me a ‘do not play with me, I’m onto you’ look. “We both know you don’t have gastric problems. Unless those berries you ate at breakfast gave you problems.”

I smiled widely at him, I can never keep a straight face with him. “Give it to me.” Seth held out his palm and I know he’s talking about the whoopee cushion somewhere on my body.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I tried the innocent act once again but failed miserably. I was giggling beside him when a lady walked past us. I gave the cushion a squeeze and Seth glared at me, when I turned to look at the old lady, she was glaring at Seth.

Seth was now trying to find the whoopee cushion all over my body. I laughed when he hit my ticklish spots, which was everywhere. I was laughing so hard that people were now watching us with amusement in their eyes.

Seth then found the cushion and tossed it in the cart while maintaining eye contact with me. Breathing was rather hard right now especially when he’s this close. People started to leave us alone but Seth was still hovering over me. I tried to duck my way out of this one but Seth’s arm stopped me. I tried to back away but Seth followed, never leaving my personal space.

“You embarrassed me.” He didn’t sound pissed or angry, in fact, he sounded amused.

“No, you embarrassed yourself.” My voice sounded shaky and unsure. This is what happens when Seth invades my personal space.

“I think I’m going to punish you for your childish behavior.” There was mischief twinkling in his eyes and I can’t help but wonder what is going on in that gorgeous head of his.

Before I could ask him what he’s going to do, he put me over his shoulder like a manikin and I started to squeal very loudly. It’s a miracle security hasn’t thrown us out yet.

“Seth put me down!”

“I have legs!”

“I can walk!”

“Seth!”

“Put me down!”

“Listen to me!”

Those were just some of the words that came out of my mouth. Seth continued with the groceries like he’s not carrying a woman over his shoulders.  We are now in line towards the cashier and I wasn’t squealing any more, no. I slapped his backside a lot to annoy him and I don’t think its working.

Another old person was behind Seth, which means, I’m facing her. She was smiling widely at us. Before I could ask her what her problem is, she spoke. “You are a cute couple.”

Denying, yes, that’s what I should do. Before I can open my mouth, Seth spoke for me. “Thank you.”

And that my friends had me blush and speechless. What was I supposed to say to that?
