《Unknown》Eight: Blackmailing Boyfriend
Advertisement
Ali's POV:
"What?" I spoke up, releasing myself from the mans grasp. As I walked closer to Caspar I tried to see if he was hiding a smirk or was laughing on the inside, but nothing, not his usual small details of how he will twitch his eye when he is close to cracking, he was silent. Do I go with it?
"Oh, Ali how you kid with me sometimes!" He said in a sweet very irritating voice as he draped his arm around my shoulder. "Don't worry sir, I've got her now and we'll be leaving, sorry to bother you. Come on babe." I shuddered slightly at the use of him calling me 'babe' it's just so cringe worthy.
Once he was out of sight I shook off Caspar's arm and my cheeks began to go back to their normal colour, or at least I hope they were. Except Caspar put his arm back around my shoulder eventhough I didn't want it there and he knew it.
"So, when did this happen?" Zoe asked smiling at me but she was also very confused, if she's confused imagine how I feel.
"This." I say pointing at us. "Isn't a thing, that was just his excuse to get me out, right?" I turn to Caspar hoping for an explanation, he pauses.
"Babe, I think you should be honest with your own sister." I raised an eyebrow, what is going on?
"Caspar, I've had enough of your jokes, stop this." I reply slightly frustrated.
"Whatever this is, that's not the most important thing right now, Ali. Come with me." If I had to either stay with Caspar being my 'boyfriend' or fess up to Zoe, I'd take the boyfriend.
As Zoe dragged my away part of me felt happy to not have Caspar leaning on me and calling me 'babe' as we walked away he smiled and waved me off, I replied with a rather unpleasant gift, I showed him a finger, and not a nice one at that.
Once we were out of sight me and Zoe sat down on a bench, I looked around at all the rides I could've gone on and spent the day carefree but no, my sister followed me.
"Ali, listen Alfie's been a bit, well odd and I was hoping you would know why. I heard him talk to you and he sounded angry at you about a secret or something." She turned to me looking me in the eyes, oh she knows when I'm lying it's one of her big sister traits.

"I well, I called to speak with you, then I spoke to Alfie about a surprise party for you. Except er, it didn't go to plan so he got mad." That sounded buyable, I'm sure she'll go for that.
She folded her arms and paused for a moment, it looks like she is progressing what I told her, it could be true I would believe it if I were Zoe.
"Fine. Anyway getting to a bit more of a pressing matter you and Casp huh?" She raised an eyebrow and I began to blush.
"That is nothing seriously if I had a boyfriend I would tell you, I don't keep secrets like that. I promise you." I can only keep secrets about more pressing issues, such as her boyfriends secret love life.
Flashback:
"-Alfie?" I turn to Caspar who has the same expression on his face as me, utter and complete confusion.
"Maybe he was in London for business and decided to go to a club?" Caspar suggests, I turn to him with a blank expression, he shrugs his shoulders at me.
"Maybe we should just observe, and keep watch. I want to know what he's doing, hold on I'm going to phone Zoe." I said as I dialled Zoe's number.
"Hello?" She answered cherpily.
"Zoe! Hey it's Ali." I said as loudly as I could, hoping she could hear me over the music, and still a far enough distance from Alfie so he doesn't hear or see me.
"Ali! It's been too long, how are you? How's everything?" She asks, I would love to have a long chat but now isn't the right time, I have questions.
"I'll explain all of that later I was just wondering if Alfie is home at all, I just had something I needed to ask him." I said calmly, not trying to get tense.
"Oh he's not here right now, he's gone to Cardiff with Jim." Cardiff?
"That's alright I'll talk to you soon bye!" I quickly hung up and explained to Caspar, he looked even more confused.
"Why would he lie to Zoe? I mean where's Jim?" We both looked aimlessly around trying to spot Jim but we had no luck, I let out a frustrated sigh. "Hey, look at me." Caspar said, turning me around so I would face him.
As I looked at him he smiled causing me to smile, I can't not he happy around Caspar, he has that sort of happiness glow.

"Wait, who is that?" Caspar points in the direction of Alfie and we see a blonde walking towards him and sitting down, now Alfie is facing us and she has her back to us.
She has long dirty-ish blonde hair and a short red dress on, she wasn't very tall, I would say she is roughly a bit taller than Zoe. She looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it.
"Do you have any idea who it could be?" Caspar asks and I simply shrug my shoulders.
Next thing we know is they start to laugh, loudly, I know that laugh! Argh, why is this so hard.
"Caspar I think I've heard that laugh befo-" He puts his hand over my mouth before I can continue and turns my head in their direction and I want to scream and rip his head off, he's snogging her!
"That cheating son of a-" I covered Caspar's mouth with my hand, we must look so weird.
We both sit there with our eyes wide and mouths covered in shock, they eventually stop but before they do I snap a photo of it, just in case I ever have to prove it to Zoe.
Zoe! How could he do this to her? I mean they are the perfect couple, how could be cheat on her? He can't do better!
Alfie gets up and walks away, I continue to take photos of this capturing every movement. She shortly follows flipping her hair and I manage to take photos as she leaves, once they're gone I look through the photos trying to find one where I can see her face.
Caspar let's out a loud gasp, I turn to him with a confused expression. "Do you know her Caspar?" I ask.
He zooms in on her face and nods, "Ali, that's Marcus's girlfriend Niomi."
End of flashback.
Zoe's POV:
Does Ali really think I'm that naive, of course she and Caspar are dating, I just don't know how I couldn't have noticed it before.
When did it happen? I know who will have some answers. "Broseph!" I yell into my phone.
"You alright Zoe?" He asks, sounding tired.
"Can I ask you something, it's about Caspar." I may have to say this delicately, considering he is Caspars room mate.
"Ask away." He replies.
"Have you noticed anything off about Caspar and Ali? I mean generally?" He takes a moment before he answers.
"Well when Ali was last here she and Caspar did go to a club, they were gone for hours and when they got back they were both very quiet and secretive."
"I knew it! They've been dating since then!" I yell.
"WHAT." Joe yells, ah not the reaction I was hoping for. "Are you trying to tell me my baby sister is dating my room mate?" He says shocked, I guess he's still processing.
"Yes. He even admitted it earlier." I say, then go on explaining it all to him, he doesn't interrupt and I can see in the distance Ali and Caspar talking, she doesn't look happy but he keeps trying to touch her face or shoulder but she keeps shrugging it off. Maybe she is just uncomfortable with everyone finding out, I haven't ever seen Ali with a boyfriend before.
"Right, where are you?" He asked as he started shuffling.
"Joe you can't just pack up and leave!" I said to him, being the wise older sister.
"If he hurts my sister, I want to be there for her." he said protectively.
After that he hung up and I was left hanging, god why do some guys have to be so annoying.
I head over back to Ali and Caspar and Ali seems paranoid, Caspar continues to grin at me so I politely smile back, we all stand in silence momentarily.
"Well, good seeing you sis but I'm going to head back to my hotel." Se said detaching herself from Caspar and gave me a long hug, she whispered into my ear. "I need your help, Caspars blackmailing me." Then she started to walk away, leaving me bewildered and confused next to Caspar who was wearing his famous grin.
"So, where to now?" He asked, and began to walk off in the direction of another ride.
What could Caspar be holding against Ali? What on earth has she gotten herself into?

The Stars Have Eyes
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place. Then life happened, and the universe was changed forever. Only a teeny-tiny bit, but definitely different. Then again, the universe changes a teeny-tiny bit every second of every day. For instance, if someone were to get off the couch and randomly drink a glass of milk? Bam! One less glass of milk in the universe. Changed forever. Well, excluding any time-travel shenanigans, but anyone who puts a big old hole in the time-space continuum just to un-drink a glass of milk should really reevaluate their priorities. Unless, of course, they were attempting to prevent some massive catastrophe vis-a-vis said glass of milk. Such a scenario is by no means impossible, as one should never underestimate the importance of calcium. Another important tip for any life forms out there is to keep things in perspective. Some look at the vastness of creation in relation to themselves and go, ‘Man, this sucks!’ These people really need to narrow their focus. Sure, they will never affect anything happening on the other end of the galaxy, but so what? That’s way the heck over there, where it doesn’t matter. Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy mindset, it is important to narrow one’s perspective to the things and people that affect them, and that they can affect in turn. But what happens if one is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality? What happens when such an existence is capable of influencing entire swathes of the universe just by its presence? A creature such as Magh'rathlak the Observer? That particular entity is only about average as far as reality-warping creatures from the dawn of time go, so its influence over the fabric of reality is rather limited. And it still struggles to keep things in perspective. That, among other things, is why it decided to narrow its worldview a bit by compressing the maddening vastness of its being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all, how hard could being human possibly be?
8 183Sand, Clouds, and Steel

Continuously roaming the sands in search of clouds, the only source of water, and quite possibly the next great Vortex. A being/machine/creature or something else entirely that forms a massive floating island and provides the other essential resource necessary for life, Aserite. It is used to power everything and anything. People cannot just take it as they will. They must fight the Vortex's guardians to claim the almost magical resource. This is a dungeon core storm story that I am working on in my free time. Please feel free to leave constructive criticism as I want to grow as an author.
