<h4>Chapter 88 - GETTING A WALLET FOR HIM</h4>


    "OOOOHHHHH."


    The audience eximed in awe and amazement. They didn''t expect that the two had a rtionship. They thought that he was still courting her since the woman, which was Cayenne, looked a little shy around him. A girlfriend should act like a girlfriend in front of her boyfriend.


    They didn''t know that their rtionship was fake.


    Cayenne got a body size brown teddy bear from the host as a prize for their participation. The male contestants got bracelet from them as well. Valkyrie chose the one that pairs up with Brown''s bracelet.


    "Thank you for your participation." Thedy host stated.


    "Thank you for this wonderful prize." Cayenne replied with a huge smile while hugging the teddy bear. "We''ll get going now." They bowed their head in front of the house and the audience before leaving the stage.


    Stefan wanted to hold hand with her but Cayenne was full upied with the huge teddy bear. "Give me that." He ordered.


    Cayenne looked at him with a deep frown. "Why do you want to get this? This is my prize."


    "I know." He didn''t say anything further than these two words and grabbed the stuff toy from her. "Give me your hand." Cayenne ced her hand on his hand which made Stefan nod his head in satisfaction. "You should hold me, not this dimwit stuff toy."


    "Tsk! What a jealous monster." Valkyriemented with a sneer.


    Stefan ignored him and continued to walk with Cayenne towards the shooting booth. Cayenne was looking for a thing that she wanted to aim for. Something that she can get for Stefan. She didn''t have money to buy him expensive stuff so, she wanted to give him something memorable instead.


    "Hello. How many times would you like to shoot?" The man who was responsible to look after the booth asked them.


    "Three times." Valkyrie responded.


    "Three times." Brown had the same number of times.


    "Until she gets what she wants." Stefan responded while eyeing Cayenne. "She''s the one ying."


    "Okay." The man turned around to get them the toy gun and the rubber pellets that they will be using. "Here you go."


    Stefan received the toy gun and gave it to Cayenne. Valkyrie and Brown had their own guns, too. "Well, let me get that wallet for you."


    "Wallet?!" Both Valkyrie and Stefan eximed. The brown wallet was the most difficult to get since it wasn''t ced vertically. It was lying on the tform which shows the thin side of it. She will have a hard time getting it.


    "How about you look for something else?" Valkyrie questioned her. "It will take you forever to get that."


    "No. I want that." Cayenne insisted.


    "Since she wants it, let her be." Brown approached her. "I''ll help you with the right position when ites to gun firing."


    "Thanks."? Cayenne smiled and shifted her gaze towards Stefan. "Don''t help me. I''m getting that for you."


    "Oh. O-okay." Stefan didn''t expect that from her. He thought that she was just randomly choosing things. He didn''t know that she was thinking of him while looking for her target.


    Brown stood behind her and lifted her arms. "Make sure that you position your elbow and arm steadily. Find the best position that you''refortable with and something that won''t too much strain on your hand."


    "Like this?" Cayenne questioned as she positioned her elbows and arms. She was holding the toy gun in front of her while sighting the wallet.


    "Open your legs a little."


    "That sounds weird." Valkyriemented when he heard the instruction.


    "Focus your eyes on the item that you want to get and the ce that you wanted to hit. And when you''re hitting the wallet, hit one ce again and again until it fell off."


    "Okay."


    "Come and give it a try." Brown left her side to let her do the shooting.


    Cayenne took a deep breath while keeping her eyes on the wallet. She raised her hand and aimed at the edge of it to make it fall from the tform.


    ''Bang!''


    The wallet moved few centimeters from its original ce which made her happy. She jumped up and down, looking towards Stefan with victorious smile.


    "Don''t be so happy. You haven''t gotten it yet." Stefan told her which dampened her mood.


    "Can you not ruin my happiness? As a boyfriend, shouldn''t you encourage me a little?"


    "Correct." Valkyrie added. "You should cheer for her since she was doing it for you."


    "She can just buy that kind of wallet and give it to me. Why go through all this? She can always aim at something bigger than that." Stefan retorted with obvious distaste. Internally, he was really happy that she was doing it for him but he would never say it or show it to her.


    "Whatever." Cayenne rolled her eyes and continued shooting. Every time she shoots the item, it will only move few centimeters from its original ce. And while she was still struggling to get it, Valkyrie got an elephant, a monkey and a strawberry stuff toy. No wasted bullets. The same went for Brown. He got a small box with a transformer inside it, a spiderman stuff toy and a peach squishy toy.


    "Go Cayenne!" Brown cheered for her. "You''re almost there. The edge of the wallet is already slipping off of the tform."


    "Two more shots and you will get it." Valkyrie added.


    Stefan looked at the two men who were cheering for Cayenne. It was really surprising for him to see that the two military officials got along with her even though they just met not long ago.


    Valkyrie calcted it right. Two shots and Cayenne finally got the wallet.


    "Yey!" She gave Valkyrie and Brown a high five each. "Thanks for your help."


    "Since you did really well, I''ll give this elephant stuff toy to you." Valkyrie handed her the toy that he got. "I''ll give the remaining toys to the little princess at home.


    Cayenne received it happily. "Thank you so much, Val. And send my regard to Jillyanna, too."


    "I''m giving you the squishy, too. They said that this toy can help you relieve your stress. Just squish it whenever you feel stress or upset."


    "Thank you, Brown."


    Stefan didn''t join in their conversation and just went ahead to pay for what Cayenne used up to get the wallet that she likes. He looked up at the dark sky and sighed. Cayenne, with so much happiness because of the people around her, forgot that they should be having dinner together. It was supposedly a date for the two of them.


    Valkyrie noticed that Stefan was silent and he knew what the man was thinking because that''s what he got in his mind, too. "It''s getting dark now." Valkyriemented. "We are supposed to have fun with our dates and although the ns were changed, we still have so much fun."


    "Likewise. I am so happy today. Thank you for being with us." Cayenne responded.


    "Now, the day is about to end. I''m sure that you and Stefan are still going to have dinner. Valkyrie and I had the same n, too. Let''s have our separate ways here and go for a romantic dinner."


    Cayenne blushed when she heard the words romantic dinner. Today''s date was a fake and even with that fact in mind, she was still looking forward to the romantic dinner that she will have with Stefan.


    "Thank you again for today." Cayenne bowed her head lightly towards the couple. It was never in her wildest dream that she''d be able to interact with Jillyanna''s friends.


    "See you soon." Brown replied while waving his hand at her.


    ''See you soon?'' Cayenne asked herself.


    ''See you soon? Are they going to show up in front of us again?'' Stefan asked himself as well. He approached Cayenne, expecting for her to give the wallet to him but she put it inside her bag instead. ''Isn''t she going to give it to me?'' he asked himself once more.


    The two of them had no idea that there was another meaning to Brown''s words. He was the one who investigated Cayenne Ardolf and provided the information to Travis. Therefore, he knew that there wille a day that Cayenne wille knocking on their door. And he was looking forward to see Stefan''s reaction when that dayes.


    "The person he loves will hurt him the most." Brown stated as he walked beside Valkyrie.


    "It''s their fate. We can''t do anything to help them. Sooner orter, if they continue with their current set up, the truth will be revealed." Valkyrie responded while holding the other hand of the monkey. Since the two of them couldn''t hold hands publicly, they took hold of the stuff toy, each hand in each of them – to be connected.


    Silly but sweet.


    Cayenne and Stefan continued with their ns, oblivious to the impending storm hovering over them – just waiting for the right moment tounch an attack and destroy the rtionship that they had so many difficulties to build.
