Chapter 115: You Are A Hypocrite
Abigail loudly shouted in excitement when she saw a big diamond ring on Mia's finger. Carol too jumped in joy and the two women rushed to hug Mia.
Samantha smiled seeing their excitement.
Chance and Jack were already aware of it as before proposing to Mia for marriage, David shared the news with them and they wished him luck.
David approached the three people and smiled, "She said Yes" He sighed in relief.
"Why would you think she would say no?" Samantha questioned him seeing how relieved her was.
"Yeah David, why so worried? Although you are weird and crazy, she loves you dude" Chance patted his arm.
David rolled his eyes at him and answered Samantha, "I was a bit worried and was not sure if she was ready for marriage or not. I was literally scared assuming she would freak out with the proposal."
"Oh" Samantha nodded her head, "Congratulations by the way"
"Thank you" David continued smiling seeing how happy Mia was.
They all then congratulated Mia too, who was very happy.
"Why did you decide to propose her on this trip?" Jack asked him.
"Chance would be here, so.."
"And I am glad Samantha you were here too. You have to come to New York to attend our wedding, once the date is finalized, I'll send you the invitation with all the details" Mia excitedly invited her and Samantha politely smiled and nodded her head.
She didn't feel any connection or bonding with Chance's friends but she did not hate them either, she didn't mind attending their wedding as long as Chance was with her.
Mia then told them in detail how David proposed to her, Samantha was trying to control her yawn as she was very bored of this proposal story but she didn't want to look rude.
Chance saw how bored Samantha was and he couldn't help but smile, she was a very unromantic person so her reaction was not a huge surprise for him.
He leaned closer to her and whispered in the volume, only she could hear, "Don't worry, I'll ensure to propose you, as unromantically as possible."
Samantha who carried bored expressions on her face, suddenly widened her eyes in shock and looked at him. Chance had his signature smile on his face, she couldn't help but smile back when she saw him.
The two then waited for Mia to get done with her story and once she did, they wished them night and left for their tents.
While Samantha was heading to her tent, Chance stopped her, "Would you like to sleep in mine?" He smirked at her.
Samantha crossed her arms and glared at him, "Would you like to get beaten up by me?"
"I just wanted to hug you and sleep" Chance muttered loud enough for her to hear.
"No need" Samantha refused and went back into her tent.
Chance smiled to himself and thought, 'Worth the try' but when he turned around, he saw David standing there looking at him suspiciously.
"What?" Chance raised his eyebrows.
"We need to talk" David commanded and started walking, Chance calmly followed him.
David looked very serious so Chance didn't joke, he calmly followed the guy to one corner of the place, where there was not one soul.
"What happened?" Chance questioned David why they were here.
"What is going on with you?" David seriously asked him.
"What do you mean?" Chance looked confused.
"Earlier you were in a very bad mood. So bad, that even I was afraid of talking to you. Even before I went to propose to Mia, your mood was sour. After we came back, you were all happy and cheerful. What happened?" David asked him suspiciously.
Chance was not sure if he should be impressed with his friend's amazing observation skills or he should be worried as he already saw through him.
"Nothing happened Dave, I was just happy that you are proposing to Mia after all these years and that improved my mood." Chance lied as he didn't intend to reveal his and Sam's relationship so soon.
He wanted to settle in this feeling before sharing it with others including David.
"Do I look like a fool to you?" David pointed at himself and he seriously looked at Chance.
"Dave, I am serious.."
"Something happened between you and Samantha, right?" David earlier had a conversation with Samantha so he knew she would have talked to Chance and indirectly contributed to extinguishing his anger.
Chance couldn't hide his surprise at David's on-point observation.
For a moment, he got worried and wondered if he is growing old and is not able to mask his real feelings well.
Chance's emotions can be understood by other people only if he wishes for them to understand it. If he decides to hide it, then no one can see through him.
"What? Are you surprised at my on-spot observation, Mr Grim Reaper?" David looked proud.
"I really am impressed"
David brightly smiled, "Tell me what happened?" David looked very excited.
"Nothing bro, Samantha sincerely apologized to me and I forgave her"
"But what happened? Why were you angry?"
"Forget it bro, it is your night, you should be with Mia, not me, go" Chance dragged David with him towards the tents where they were staying at.
"You are trying to change the topic" David sulked as he was hoping for some juicy gossip but he didn't get any.
"Mia should be your priority, not me. Go or else Mia will think you are cheating on her with me."
"Fine, I am going. By the way Chance, you remember the promise you made to me?" David looked very serious.
Chance wondered which promise was David talking about.
"Dave, I made many promises to you, please help me recollect which one are you talking about?"
"You promised to introduce me to the Exterminator." David reminded Chance of the promise he made last week.
"Right, let me find a way to make that happen"
"Yes, please do"
"By the way, Dave" Chance stopped the man who was heading towards his fiancée's tent.
"Yeah?"
"I told The Exterminator everything."
"Everything as in?"
"Everything about me" Chance dropped a bombshell on David.
"Wait, do you mean you told him you are the?" David looked at him doubtfully.
Chance nodded his head to confirm.
"Why would you do that?" David was really very surprised and had no idea how to react.
"Well, things happened like that. I'll tell you all the details tomorrow"
"Okay, but is he really Samantha's.." David raised his eyebrows.
"Hmm, he is her adopted father"
"Fuck" David shouted in shock.
Although Chance predicted this already and shared his theory with David, David always had an open-mind and he was prepared to face the fact that his theory can be absolutely wrong.
So, when Chance confirmed his theory was on-spot, David couldn't help but shout loudly as he was really surprised to know that The Exterminator is Danger-Ace's father.
"You are going to have a very strong family soon" David exclaimed as he imagined Grim Reaper being married to Danger-Ace and having The Exterminator as his father-in-law.
Chance chuckled at David's expression, "Good night, go to Mia"
"Chance, your kids too are going to be assassins?" David still couldn't get the picture of three strong assassins being a family out of his mind.
Chance lightly smiled, "I would wish my children to never have a fate like mine and Samantha to end up as assassins. I'd rather hope they would never wash their hands in blood"
Although Chance was smiling, there was a sadness in his eyes which made David's heart wrench in pain. He patted Chance on his shoulder, "Don't worry, they won't"
"Now, go" Chance pointed at Mia's tent.
David wished him night and left.
Chance headed towards his own tent but his heart dragged him towards Samantha's tent, "Hey Sam, still awake?" Chance softly called her from outside her tent.
Inside, Samantha was not able to fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
She had a very tiring day, so she should have been able to fall asleep soon but after what happened between her and Chance, it messed with her mind and she could only think of him, losing her sleep.
When Chance's low whisper called for, she immediately sat up and unzipped her tent.
"Come in" She softly said and without wasting another second Chance went inside her tent and she immediately zipped it.
"I didn't expect to get an entry so soon" Chance said while lying comfortably on her mattress.
"I didn't intend to give you an entry so soon" She exclaimed still sitting next to him.
"Come, let's sleep together" Chance happily patted on the area next to him.
"You are shameless" Samantha taunted him but she lied next to him.
"And you are a hypocrite" He taunted her back.
Chance made her lie on his arm and brought her closer to him, hugging her waist with his free hand.
