CHAPTER 8: Plan Backfired (Part 1)

PHEOBE'S POV:

"If so, then why did you both kiss", The question made my whole world stop. My heart stopped beating my brain stopped functioning, my whole body went numb.

"We..we did.. we did not kiss", My voice betrayed me so badly that Rosy started laughing. Her laugh reminded me of the crazy witches from Disney movies.

"Oh! dear, Aiden is a 39-year-old man and a father of two boys. Looking at your's and Justin's messed up clothes, ruffled hair, swollen lips it was not hard for him to know that you guys were not just watching the movies", she crossed her arms, looking a bit angry.

Shit! this was the sole reason why I never let all my feelings for Justin come out. Why I never allowed myself to think of him more than a friend.

"What kind of gold-digging bitch you are Phoebe? You befriended my son just because you had an eye on his money. All these years we treated you as a part of our family and fooled us. Tell me did you do all this just for money? Huh! Tell me Pheobe, Tell me"

"Phoebe! Phoebe, are you listening", Holy fuck I was dreaming. For a few seconds, I really thought Rosy said all those things to me.

"I am sorry. That kiss was nothing... I mean it did not mean anything to either of us. It was just.. it was just an awkward moment. We did not do it before neither did we do it after that day. Trust me Rosy I.. I know my place. I just.. We are just friends ok! I will never cross my line and try any move with him. I never befriended him for his money......", As I said the last sentence Rosy pulled me into a hug.

"Hey! we never said that you befriend him because of his money. Hell! when you two became friends we were poorer than you. You had your dad to support you, at that time we did not have anyone. Your family helped us to settle after Justin's father's death", She stopped and took a deep breath. Her next question was like an emotional bomb on my heart.

"Do you like Justin?"

I stared at her, mouth hanging open.

"I.. I don't..............", what should I tell her. I don't like Justin, I fucking love him. I love him since I got to know what love is, or even before that.

"You don't have to say anything. I can see it in your eyes. You love him. And you know what we don't have even the slightest problem if you two get together. Instead, we will be happy to see a girl like you in our son's life", I searched for some kind of humour or trick in her eyes but found none. She was indirectly saying that she would love to make me her daughter-in-law.

"But I am poor, I am ugly, I am fat. He won't like me. Never. He thinks of me just as a friend nothing else", Shit, I sounded like a spoiled child who is not getting her favourite candy.

Rosy's lips pressed into a thin line, her face clearly showing disapproval for my sentences.

"First of all- you are not ugly, you are very pretty. Second- you are not fat, in fact, I would die to have a perfect body like you. Third- Justin is a very stubborn boy if he does not want to do something he won't do it. The fact that he kissed you itself tells that he wanted to kiss you, which means he likes you too. And lastly poor or rich does not matter in love. Ashley and I both were poor yet our husbands fell in love with us. Ethan was not much rich when Selena fell in love with him. Love does not see the status", Saying that she again went inside the room and left me alone. My mind still processing the things she said.

I denied my feelings cause I thought his family won't accept me. I denied them cause I did not want others to think that I did it for money. I denied because I did not want Justin to think that I was after his money. I denied them because I have a fucked up life and I have to help my mother. I never wanted to drag Justin in the mess called my life.

But above all, I denied my feelings because I thought that Justin never loves me. He thinks of me just as friends.

But do friends kiss, I mean not a kiss on the cheek of hand but a fully heated kiss, involving the battle of tongues? Also, does a friend ogle your body as Justin does to mine?

Yes! I am not that naive to not notice the time when he walks behind me just to stare at my derriere and complement my faded, old, worn-out t-shirts when I catch him staring at my bosom.

Not just it, he takes care of me, he worries about me, he protects me, he is always by my side.

Does that mean he loves... I mean at least likes me?

-------------------------------

By 12 we all were ready in those pathetic pieces of clothes. Everyone except I and Ashley was admiring themselves in the mirror. We, on the other hand, were shocked.

"I guess I should wear my bra and panty, they are more comfortable", I commented sarcastically.

"Arthur will not like that I am wearing such clothes, out of our room", Ashley said while blushing. She has always been the shy one.

"How am I looking", Kelsey asked. She was wearing more comfortable clothes than us. A pink short pant and a pink bikini top. At least she was wearing something that covers her small bum.

"You look, lovely princess, I am sure Ashur will like it", Kell said and to my surprise that little girl blushed.

Seriously, she is only 10. For God's sake!

"Kid's these days", Rosy said rolling her eyes.

"Parents these days", Ashley said looking at Kelly to which she just laughs.

I guess they forgot that I said I am not comfortable.

"I said I am not comfortable", I waved my hand in front of Selena who was too wearing a bikini but her's were a bit decent than mine.

"Yaa whatever. Don't sulk take this", she then threw a pink sarong in my direction. I gladly accepted it and wrapped it around my waist.

All of us were ready by now. The main door that leads to the Theater room was locked from outside.

The operator was given instruction to play the video (which Selena will be shooting by one of her hi-tech cameras) on the mini theatre's screen.

We all were ready to frustrate our respective partners (If the partner term counts in my case).

Everyone had a sarong wrapped around their waist. Even Kelsey demanded one.

Liam and Aries will be with Liam's babysitter.

"Ready Girls?", Rosy asked.

Yess!", unlike others, I and Ashley answered in a bored tone.

Then we made our way to the war zone aka swimming pool.

---------------------

JUSTIN'S POV:

"What the fu... Hell!", Uncle Arthur shouted. He wanted to use that F-word but stopped as my little brothers are with us.

"I told you", dad said proudly.

"Yaa Whatever"

So the situation is that the match is over and the team which Dad and I supported won.

"I am gonna leave, don't want to make mom angrier", I said and grabbed Aikens hand. We both walked to the door only to go back again because the door was locked from outside.

"The door is locked, from outside", I announced.

"What?"

"Try it again"

"If we don't go out now our wives will kill us"

"I don't want to sleep on the sofa"

They started complaining like kids and even walked to the door to try and open it.

Suddenly the voice of women laughing and talking stopped us.

"Mommy!", Aiken exclaimed pointing towards the screen.

And there were noises of gasping, cursing, gulping, etc.

"Holy fuck!"

"Wow"

"Beautiful"

"I want to go out now"

The video on the screen made all the men go into the state of shock.

There they were, my mom, aunt Ashley, Selena, Kelly, and Kelsy in sexy swimsuits playing in the water.

The men were gaping. Even Ashur was looking at his girlfriend but unlike the men, his eyes were filled with adoration for his little girlfriend.

While the other surely must have got a mini boner just at the sight of their wives in those sexy bikinis.

I started laughing at their state.

"Seriously, the ladies planned good revenge", I said between laughter. "They are really doing good....... What the...", my laughter died and those not so holy words were about to come out of my mouth.

Now it was their turn to laugh. Dad, uncle Arthur started laughing just the way I had just laughed at them.

And the reason was Phoebe Fucking Morris.

There she was in a very sexy bikini, showing her perfect body.

I gulped at the sight of her, she was perfect. Her skin, her figure her outfit, her hair everything.

"Close your mouth dear", Dad said and laughed again.

Embarrassed, I bent my head down and scratched the back of my neck.

But then again I could not help but bring my eyes back to the screen.

She was looking so fucking sexy at the same time so cute pulling the cloth wrapped around her waist. Her pink bikini top showing the perfect amount of cleavage that would make any man worship her body. Her fleshy thigh was visible from the part where the cloth was knotted around her waist.

Her long sexy legs full-on display.

Pheobe isn't a girl who likes to flaunt her body, the sarong wrapped around her waist and the way she was adjusting it, again and again, was showing her shyness.

But then a question made its way in my mind.

Einstein's brain was not needed to know that the whole door locking and brain fucking thing was planned by the ladies.

But they were doing this to frustrate their husband's what was Pheobe doing there?

Is it possible.... Was she there ..... Was she there for me?
