•Chapter 23

" So, Bob.. "

You suddenly spoke, to Bob, while you two were cuddling, about to confront him about what he did a while ago.

Bob turned his face to you, as he hummed, waiting for you to reply.

Y/N fixed their position as they were still sitting on Bob's lap. They were now sitting up, not anymore that comfortable to fall asleep on Bob.

Y/N crossed their arms as they furrowed their eyebrows.

" Why did you steal the kids' candy? "

Bob widened his eyes a bit as he started to slightly sweat.

" What do ya mean, darlin'? "

Bob tried to seem like he didnt do anything and tried to look innocent, but he wasn't.

" Stop trying to look like you dont know what im talking about. "

Y/N said as they fixed their arms, still crossed.

Bob also crossed his arms, mocking his darling as he sighed and rolled his black eyes.

" C'mon, they were annoying. "

Bob looked away as his mumbles with his country accent was heard.

Y/N chuckled as they raised their eyebrow.

" That's not a reason, Bob. "

Bob made a deep sigh as he removed his arms from crossing it and tried to look away and did not reply.

He looked like a kid getting yelled at by their mom.

Y/N grabbed Bob by his collar of his gray sweater that they bought for him and spoke,

" How dare you steal from them, they are like my children! "

Y/N whispered jokingly, but it sounded like yelling.

Y/N didnt realize that the two of their faces were close to eachother, but Bob did.

Bob smirked and smacked his lips into  Y/N making them be shock of this sudden action.

Bob smirked in the kiss as Y/N pulled away, thinking of what happened before they furrowed their eyebrows.

" Stop doing that without asking! "

" But you loved it didnt ya, sweetheart? "

Y/N blinked multiple times before slightly yelling,

" YOU GOTTA STOP MAKING ME FLUSTERED!! "

Bob just chuckled silently and made Y/N fall to his chest again as he wrapped his large arms around Y/N's waist.

Y/N could just scream as loud as they could as they were about to burst like a tomato.

~~~

" Mnngh.. "

Y/N groaned as they tried to look around their surroundings.

They were still lying down on their couch but Bob wasn't there anymore.

But they do hear Lila's calming voice and Skid'd happy squeals.

Y/N sat up as they looked around and went upstairs to see Lila giving Skid a bag of candy as Skid munched of multiple pieces of candy.

" Oh, N/N! You're awake! You fell asleep on the couch while you were watching tv. "

Lila said as she chuckled and put her hand on Y/N's shoulder.

Oh, so Bob already left before the two arrived... Hmm, okay.

Y/N chuckled silently as they went downstairs to grab their phone.

They opened their phone and was quite surprised to see a notification from Radford.

[ Yoo, Y/N! We haven't seen

eachother in a while, so u wanna

drink in the new bar? 🍻 ]

[ How about in 9 pm? Is that goof? ]

[ good* ]

[ Ye sure thats sounds cool ]

Y/N was kinda bored so they decided to clean their room.

It was.. a bit messy so today's a great day to tidy it up.

Y/N happily hummed their favorite song as they folded their clothes.

They also used a broom to remove the dust from the floor.

Y/N fixed their bed, and arranged the plushies on it.

After a long cleaning session, Y/N decided to order delicious food online.

" Hey Lila, imma order food online. What you want? "

Lila tapped on her chin, and put her finger on the air as she looked like she had a good idea.

" Oh! What about f/d? "

( f/d - favorite dinner )

" Hm.. sure! "

Y/N went to their phone and started going to the app where you could order food as they scrolled, trying to find their f/d.

After finding it, they tapped on the order and scrolled throught the available options.

They tapped on the specific one that Lila and Skid might like. Or even love!

It tastes so good, that's why its Y/N's favorite food for dinner.

The order was placed and a time where it could possibly deliver appeared on screen

20 - 35 minutes.

Y/N sighed, while realizing that ordering food online can still take time even thought you did not make it.

How impatient are you?

Because I am. Lmao

" Hey Lila, the food will take like.. 30 minutes is that okay? "

Lila chuckled and nodded in response as Y/N hummed and went to the couch and watch more television.

~~~

*Doorbell rings*

" Oh, finally the food is here. "

Y/N quickly went to their bedroom to get money.

They grabbed their wallet and went downstairs and to the door.

They opened the door, and see Rick holding their order with a bored and tired look.

" R-Rick? "

Rick just blinked before responding,

" Yes, Y/N. "

He tiredly spoke with his signature bored-and-tired smile.

" Oh. "

Y/N said as they went to their wallet and grabbed some money.

They handed the money to Rick as he handed the food to Y/N.

Y/N thanked Rick and told him to keep the change as both of them waved to eachother.

Y/N went inside and went to the dining room as they yelled to call the two,

" Lila, Skid! Food arrived! "

Lila walked downstairs as Skid sprinted past Lila and went to the dining table and happily looked at the food.

The three then happily ate the food as they were having a conversation about their childhood while Skid was talking about what he wants to be when he grows up.

~~~

" Mm!! That was so good!! "

Skid joyfully squealed as he rubbed his tummy showing that he's full.

Lila chuckled while patting her son's head.

Y/N lightly chuckled too and checked the time on their phone.

8:37 PM.

Y/N informed Lila on where they were going.

" Hey, uh, Lila? Im going to hang out with my friend. You know, were.. going to drink.. special juice! "

Y/N chuckled and pretended to drink a glass.

Lila giggled and responded,

" Sure, N/N. Dont drink too much! "

Lila joked as she winked and Skid looked at his mother and Y/N.

Lila and her son then walked to the couch, putting on some kid-friendly shows or maybe movies.

Y/N quickly sprinted upstairs and into their bedroom as they put on their favorite clothes when they go out or visit somewhere.

It was their favorite color, that's why.

They put on their perfume and took their phone.

Y/N went downstairs and put on their.. hmm second favorite shoes? Yeah.

They walked to the front door, and before opening it, they yelled,

" Bye! Im going now! "

Lila looked at Y/N's direction and smiled,

" Stay safe! "

Y/N smiled back and walked outside. Since it was late, they called Radford on their phone to pick them up, to be safer, of course.

" Yo, can you pick me up? "

" Oh hey, N/N. Yeah I sent a friend to your place. "

" Oh, cool! Thanks Rad! Dont be drunk without me! *chuckle* "

" No probs, dude! "

" 'Kay, see ya! "

" Bye! "

Radford then ended the call. Y/N deeply sighed knowing a stranger would pick them up.

They didnt know much of Radford's friends, so it's going to br hard.

Well, what if it wasn't actually Radford's friend but another kidnapper?

Ugh.

Y/N went back to their place and waited outside their house.

There was a slow car passing by and it suddenly stopped, making Y/N glare at the dark blue vehicle.

There was a head popping out, and a young teenager's voice.

But, it wasn't coming from the driver.

" Yo, is that Y/N!? Quick! Go back! "

Before the car could, Y/N sprinted to the car, a little nervous.

Y/N couldn't say anything, they were just eyeing the driver until the passenger's seat's window rolled down.

It revealed Robert, smiling as he spoke,

" Hi, Y/N!! "

Robert happily squealed as he opened the door for Y/N and gestured to come in.

Y/N chuckled nervously and waved to Robert.

Y/N then quickly entered the car.

" Y/N, thanks for the candy again! "

Robert said while swinging his feet.

" You're always welcome Robert. "

The driver suddenly spoke, making Y/N glare at the rear-view mirror.

" So, Y/N, right? "

The brown haired and green eyed woman asked Y/N politely.

" Yep! "

" Nice to meet you! I'm Luna, by the way. "

" Nice to meet you too! "

Luna just chuckled in response.

The trip was silent, why?

Because Y/N and Luna didnt know eachother that much. They just met.

Or did they?

It was not that quiet, Robert was asking a few, random questions to Y/N, like, ' Do you read books? ' ' Do you play Skeleton Women? ' ' Do you have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend? '

Robert really asks silly questions.

Luna suddenly spoke again,

" Y/N, you look really, REALLY familiar. "

Luna said, as she grabbed something from her shirt, trying to stretch it out and showing it to her side., Y/N couldn't see what it was, but it was something gold, and it was really shiny.

Y/N tried to process what it was, and eventually realized what it was.

The cult necklace.

~~~

They arrived in the bar, they entered and looked around, looking for Radford.

They saw a hand waving, so they quickly walked to that direction.

When they went there, they saw Radford and a few other friends of his. Radford waved and patted a seat beside him.

Y/N waved back and sat beside their friend

Luna and Robert went outside, but Y/N didn't know where they were going.

The other friends of Radford waved happily to Y/N like they were close, but really, Y/N doesnt know a single one of them.

Y/N didn't want to be rude, so they shyly waved back.

" So.. How are you, Y/N? Still single? "

Radford asked and mumbled the last part as he elbowed Y/N.

( Why do ur friends keep wanting to know ur dating life? )

Y/N chuckled nervously as they rubbed the back of their neck and replied,

" Hah, Im fine! And yep. Still single. "

Radford raised his eyebrow and suggested,

" Dude, you should try out dating apps..! "

Y/N sighed and blows raspberry as they responded,

" Y'know what? Im not interested in dating. Its boring.. "

" Well okay if you say so. "

Radford crossed his arms, as he still eyed Y/N, then to his friends.

" How 'bout you? You dating? "

Y/N suddenly asked, making Radford start sweating and stammering.

" W-Well uh.. I.. "

Y/N raised both of their eyebrows and hummed, waiting for a response.

Radford deeply sighed and answered,

" No, but there's this person at work.. "

" Ask them out already! "

Y/N slightly yelled raising both of their hands. Y/N's voice made Radford's friends look at Y/N, making them feel embarrassed so they apologized.

" Shh! They're here... "

Radford whispered while glaring at his friends.

" Hope you guys get together soon!~ "

Y/N jokingly whispered back, making Radford slightly blush and look away from his friends.

A waiter holding 3 bottles went to their table and placed the bottles down. He was also bringing glasses for drinking and placed it down infront of each person.

Radford happily looked at the bottles while he looked at his friends and to Y/N.

Y/N and Radford thanked the waiter and the waiter walked away.

One of Radford's friend were going to get one bottle to poor their self some, but Radford stopped them and spoke,

" Wait! Let Y/N drink first. They havent drank in a long time! "

The friend of Radford nodded and gave the bottle to Radford.

Radford chuckled looking at Y/N and opened the bottle and poured ALOT in Y/N's glass.

Y/N's eyes slightly widened seeing how much Radford poured.

Y/N nervously took the glass as they looked around while Radford and his friends started chanting,

" Drink! Drink! Drink! "

Y/N sighed deeply, ready to drink.

They chugged the drink in a few gulps as Radford and his friends cheered for them.

After Y/N finished the drink, they put their tongue out because of how bitter the drink was.

Radford chuckled at Y/N's reaction to the taste.

Even if the taste of the drink was awful, Y/N still wanted more.

" Hey Y/N, dont drink too much, you still have work tomorrow, right? "

Radford asked Y/N with a worried tone and look as Y/N nodded and hummed in response as they swallowed another drink.

" Hey, started without me? "

Luna chuckled, while she sat down infront of Y/N and Radford.

Luna then grabbed a glass and poured herself a drink and raised it,

" Late cheers! "

The other friends of Radford giggled and laughed as they raised their glass which they already drank from.

Luna chuckled and drank from her glass.

Y/N seemed worried as they looked around, then turned to Luna about to question her.

" Hey, Luna? Where's Robert? "

Luna swallowed her drink before replying,

" I brought him home, not too far away from here anyway. "

Y/N nodded slowly in response.

~~~

Luna, Y/N and Radford were walking to the direction of the exit of the bar.

Radford took a couple of glasses, Luna took like only 1? While Y/N.. I mean, who's counting? Cause like, not me! But Im pretty sure Y/N is SUPER drunk.

Y/N clumsily went closer to Luna, and whispered,

" So you are a part of the *hiccup* cult? "

Y/N almost yelled the last part, making Luna shush them.

" Shh! Yeah! Didnt I show you already? I saw you in the party last time, with Bob. "

Luna replied, whispering the last part.

Y/N violently nodded their head and spoke,

" Yeah! With my.. boyfriend! "

Radford suddenly turned his head to Y/N's direction.

" Didnt you say you were single earlier? "

Radford asked, while clumsily raising his pointer finger in the air then pointed it to Y/N.

The three got out of the bar and went to cross the street, it was late at night, or early in the morning, so there wasn't that much cars but Luna still looked both sides but Radford and Y/N didnt even bother to.

" I *hiccup* did? "

Y/N questioned Radford, suddenly breaking the silence of the street. Radford nodded slowly still unsure of what Y/N said earlier inside the bar.

Luna chuckled at the two then joined the conversation,

" C'mon, Rad, they're drunk. "

Radford just raised both of his eyebrows and smiled then looked away.

The three arrived in an almost empty parking lot, only filled by a few cars and the car of Luna.

Luna unlocked the car and opened the passenger seat.

" Y/N, c'mon. "

Y/N didnt respond, but instead went inside the car, almost falling on the way inside.

Radford went inside the passenger seat beside the driver went on his phone to read the time; 12:56

" Wow, didnt know it would be that late. *Sigh* Stupid work. "

Radford mumbled to himself as Luna went inside the driver seat and started up the car.

~~~

Luna stopped the car infront of Radford's driveway and said goodbye. Radford waved goodbye and went inside his house.

" Hey, you still awake Y/N? "

" Mhm. "

" Okay. "

Luna started the car again and started to drive back to Y/N's home.

" Hey, tell me if I pass your house, okay? "

Y/N took time to respond,

" I think I drank too much juice to even know where I live? "

Luna snickered then replied,

" Juice? "

Luna tried her best to not burst of laughter.

" Yeah. "

~~~

Luna slowly stopped the car infront of  Y/N's house and turned back at Y/N, who was zoning out.

" You are home. "

Y/N snapped back, and looked outside, then squinted their eyes then nodded.

Both Y/N and Luna got out of the car. Y/N tried to open their door but it seems like they forgot how to use door knobs.

Luna chuckled at Y/N's behaviour and opened the door for Y/N.

" Thanks uh.. Luna. Byeee!!! "

Y/N said, and waved their hand violently to Luna.

" Bye, Y/N. "

Luna slowly waved back as she went back inside her car.

Y/N looked back to the open door for a few seconds then slammed it close.

It made a loud sound, but Y/N didn't care, dude, come one, it's their house.

Y/N sleepily walked towards the stairs until someone took them by their waist.

(Guess who)

" Hey darlin', why are you up this late? "

Bob questioned Y/N, while he was kissing Y/N's neck as Y/N tried to turn around to see who was hugging them by their waist.

When Y/N was able to see who it was, they squealed,

" Bobby! "

Y/N then hugged Bob by his neck and Bob raised his eyebrow and asked,

" What's with the nickname, sugar? "

Y/N didnt respond to the question, but instead, they just hugged Bob tighter.

" I missed you Bobby.. "

Y/N mumbled as they looked at Bob with puppy eyes.

" Miss ya too, darlin'. "

Bob then carried Y/N bridal style and carried them upstairs to their bedroom.

They both lied down to Y/N's bed as they cuddled to eachother.

Y/N looked really sleepy, but Bob looked like he's used to staying up this late.

" Your children missed you. "

Y/N suddenly whispered, but this phrase made Bob really confused.

" My what? "

Bob chuckled then Y/N repeated,

" Your children. "

Bob chuckled and decided to go with the flow and responded,

" I miss them too. "

Bob looked back at Y/N, who was already.. asleep?!

My darlin' must be very tired..

Bob thought.

Bob hugged Y/N tighter and kissed their forehead then closed his eyes.
