Chapter 166

**Acacia Point of View**

Can his neck still afford to keep his head on it after the pictures of him with heavy makeup was released?

My, my, this is so exciting!

Why didn't I think about these silly simple ways to torture him before?

Forget about everything but just the look of his face with makeup is so damn funny that I even woke up in the middle of the night to laugh for half an hour.

Given Igses nature of sharing all the good things with his family and friends, by the time we are back from camping, Jerk's pictures would be circulated even to the staff in the ranch.

"Is it so funny?" I heard him ask for the nth time today and for the nth time, I nodded my head with a grin.

"Look at your bucket and mine; mine is almost filled with fish and yours is filled with nothing but air. If you continue to laugh like that, you can never a fish for the day. Instead you will drive them away." He grumbled and pulled his fishing rod again with another plump medium sized fresh water fish hanging to it.

I looked at his bucket and mine and could help but feel disappointed. Everything about this campsite is good. There's also freshwater spring river which proved to be an excellent fishing spot but the fishes are too coward.

I only chuckled for a few times every now and then and they are already frightened and went to hang themselves against his fishing rod.

With three or four more fishes of decent size, he will be a clear-cut winner.

Initially, with how big our buckets are, I thought I can easily fill half of it in a couple of hours. Who knew Jerk would steal my thunder and almost fill his own bucket and so quickly?

Now, look at him, mocking me with those simple yet harsh words.

No, I have to win this fishing spree!

I didn't even win one game of cards yesterday, I should at least win in fishing.

So, I racked my brain for ideas, ways to catch the attention of fish and pull them to my side. After thinking for five whole minutes, I suddenly remember the cheat tool I have with me.

I dashed towards the camping van got everything I needed. In a matter of few minutes I set everything up and looked at Jerk proudly.

I can catch hundreds of fish now!

Jerk, not knowing what is happening, raised a brow at me. "What is going on now?"

"Fishing."

"With a movie projector?"

"Yes."

"Are you planning to attract fish by showing them Nemo movie?"

"No."

"Are you going to attract them with music? That's even childish."

"No."

"Eblilis, what are you going to play for -" Before he complete his sentence, he saw the portable screen that was facing the river.

Even in such cold weather, for some reason I could see a few drops of sweat forming on his face which made me even happier.

And with that, I started to reel in one after another fish continuously.

"You better take that down, Eblilis. Please." Jerk looks so constipated right now that his expression will even make me laugh in dreams.

Indeed his makeup pictures is the best tool to scare the fish away from him. His face never disappoints me.

"Or else, what? You aren't jealous that I will win this fishing competition with my cheat tool right?" This is so relaxing!

It's always him teasing me and making fun of me. Now that I have something on him, the world looks beautiful and fresh now.

Seems like I will have to think of ways to collect such treasure for future use.

With that, I successfully fished as many as he did but since both of us are tied, there's no loser or winner among us.

However, such good freshwater fish tasted amazing when cooked and roasted in different ways. What is the heart of camping? Isn't it food?

With right ambience, right people and right food, there is no chance not to enjoy it.

"What are we playing today?" After eating my fill, I'm excited to play now. With yesterday's game and punishments, I'm very excited now.

"Not cards anymore."

"You must be traumatized, right. Alright, since you paid a lot yesterday, we will play a game of your choice today. As long as it is fun to me, I don't mind even if you lose a lot." I changed the last sentence conveniently and looked at him eagerly.

Jerk thought for a moment and then said faintly. "There's this game I watched on television on some international channel. I though it's pretty entertaining. Why don't we try it?"

"Okay. What is it?"

"Although it will be fun with more members, we both can still play it for awhile. So, we have stick-it notes, yes? I will write one word, phrase or action on it and stick it on your forehead and you will do the same. I don't know what is written on my forehead nor do you. Now, we will have to talk casually and make other person say or do what is written on the paper on their forehead."

Hey, isn't this game from those Korean shows? When I watched this game in a few shows, I absolutely loved it and even play with my friends many times.

I can be considered a pro in it.

Tsk tsk, this Jerk sure knows how to lose without even knowing.

Playing as if I didn't know about it and was actually excited about the game, I looked at him eagerly, "Then do we have punishment for losers? Without that, it will be too bland." I tried not to be too obvious when I suggested it.

Although I saw a flash of doubt in his, I still maintained my usual calm as if I have no schemes in my mind.

"Then we will go with the box with task cards from yesterday?"

"Nah, isn't there any other way to spice it up?" No matter how the task cards from yesterday were fun, it's still boring to continue.

"Spice it up? Then how about smack or smooch?"

"Eh?"

"The winner can choose to smack or smooch the loser and the loser will have to complete the reminding challenge."

Smack or smooch? Then can I smack him if I win?

That doesn't sound bad.

"Okay." Muddleheaded, I nodded at the thought of smacking him without thinking about his complete explanation and future consequences.

And when I mean consequences, I definitely know what they are ten minutes later.

"You sure? You will not step back when you lose right?" For some reason, I found him suppressing his smirk.

Does he think I will lose like yesterday so he is being smug about it?

"Of course. Once a word is given, so given." I said proudly.

Soon, we both took our post-it notes and wrote on it secretly. With an experience of playing this game before, I chose an easy one so I can easily win.

After writing, I leaned towards him and stuck it on his forehead while he did the same to me. "The time limit is five minutes. We should make other person say or do what's on their forehead in five minutes or the game will be declared a draw." Five minutes is more than enough for me so I nodded in agreement.

"We will take turns to speak to make it fair. I'll start first." He proposed to which I agreed immediately.

"You look beautiful." He suddenly said making me blush inwardly. Then I realized that this is a game he might not mean it.

So with a pout, I answered carefully. "Uhm."

What might be the word on my forehead? Is it, 'okay'?

"You sure know how to upset me. Are you saying that I'm beautiful for this game purpose only?" I grumbled but my intention is to make him react as I wish.

And surely, he did. "No, Eblilis I -"

"Ah ha, you lost." I clapped my hands.

He realized that he said the word he shouldn't and pulled the post-it on his forehead to see the word 'Eblilis' on it.

Again, for some reason, despite losing, he has a small smile on his face. "Seems like you know me too well. Are you secretly crushing over me?"

Where does his confidence come from?

I want to buy some too!

"My words should be 'okay' or 'I know', right?" I said and pulled my post-it to see 'I know' on it.

Ah ha, a pro is always a pro.

"Hah, since you lost, I choose to smack you." I raised my hand and smacked him on the back of his head, not too roughly though.

I smiled and rubbed my hands in anticipation of smacking him a few more times. But before I can dance over my victory, he pulled me and kissed me loudly on my lips.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"As a winner, you chose to smack me, so as a loser, I have no other choice to smooch you. That's our agreement right? Did you forget already?"

And that was when I realized what exactly he said ten minutes ago and what important thing I chose to ignore when I got excited about smacking him.

No matter who smooched the other, wouldn't I be kissed after every game?

Acacia Dawn Winters, how can you be such a fool!
