Hellbound With You

Chapter 886 Memorabilia

　　Alex's shoulders were trembling mightily, trying his utmost best to hold in his laughter that was really almost about to explode out of him. He had not been expecting that at all! And looking at Zeke's reaction right now, he just could not help himself but laugh at Zeke's expense. He had the opportunity to hear Zeke play some instruments before. The damn guy was actually a genius with instrument as well. But he had never heard Zeke sang in their many long years of knowing each other. Never. Ever.

　　And that was why he just could not wait for this next show to begin. Oh, what an exciting night! He was almost rubbing his two hands together like a perverted old man, chuckling out in glee in anticipation of Zeke's singing.

　　Leaning over to Abi, Alex's whispered. "Where is our phone, darling?" he asked, eyes twinkling mischievously as an extremely wide grin was plastered across his face.

　　One glance at her husband and Abi already knew what this man was planning to do. It was literally written all over his face. But she only chuckled at him and answered, "It's in my bag." She said and Alex immediately called for one of the maids and told her to bring Abi's bag over to him.

　　Meanwhile, on the stage, Zeke was still standing there, unmoving as he stared down rather aggrievedly at the card that Charles had handed over to him. Alicia had pressed her lips hard together as she looked on at how Zeke was behaving and trying her best to stifle the laugh that was bubbling up her throat.

　　She could tell that the punishment had shocked the hell out of him. Though his expression remained somewhat blank, that stillness said it all. He might as well be voicing out his utmost disapproval to the world. And despite the fact that she knew he was probably suffering a mental breakdown secretly right this very moment, Alicia was just too excited with this punishment. It was truly unexpected, and she was dying to hear what Zeke's singing voice sounded like. This guy was just so good and too perfect in everything that he did that it seemed as though that there is nothing that he did not know. But what about singing…? This is a really exciting moment for her.

　　Brimming with excitement, Alicia squeezed Zeke's hand as she smiled happily at the butler. Her eyes were almost screaming out the words 'I just can't wait for it to start!'.

　　"Alright, before we give Prince Ezekiel a moment or two to prepare, let's call back the two couples having their romantic dance over there, to come over for the remaining part of their punishment." Butler Charles announced into the microphone.

　　The couples who were now wrapped in an invisible pinkish air all over as the last sweet song ended had their bubbles popped rather rudely at Butler Charles' announcement. Their heads snapped to look back towards the stage, while their eyes all had the same question reflected in them. 'What? It's not over yet?! What remaining part of the punishment are you talking about?!'

　　Zeres, Kyle, Lilith and Iryz could only sigh in their hearts and moved back towards to stage obediently. The romantic mood that was cultivated from the dance was almost all but dispelled at the announcement.

　　They arrived and stood below the stage, waiting for the following instructions from Butler Charles. "There's still more? But in the card, it only said dancing." Kyle voiced a mild complain, curious at how the hosts were going to twist this to their advantage.

　　"Well, my prince. That slow dance was actually a warm-up for you all and this now, is the real punishment that we are getting to. Don't worry, it's still a dance." The butler replied with a conspiring wink, causing both the couples to look at him in speechlessness.

　　"Oh, just to inform you, this segment of the punishment would be recorded for our precious twins to watch it once they're a little bit older. That is so they have a memorabilia to know that their full month celebration had been celebrated by so many who loves them!"

　　What?!! The four of them had shocked expressions, most especially for Zeres and Kyle.

　　"Okay, get ready. Everyone, let watch their punishment." The butler announced with a flourish and the moment the music started, the four on the stage all stood there, paralyzed as they listened to what seemed to be the chicken dance song.

　　Laughter erupted from the audience.

　　"W-wait a moment… we don't know this dance at all." Kyle protested.

　　"You can dance according to the tune however you like it, my prince. Just as long as you all imitate how a chicken would dance. Also, please be serious because the music will only stop if all of you will take it seriously."

　　"Oh, goodness…"

　　"Umm… I actually know this dance." Iryz stepped forward a little shyly. "It's like this."

　　Iryz began to show them the steps to the dance and the other three had their jaws dropping to the floor.

　　"It's pretty easy… right?" Iryz encouraged them though she herself was blushing hard. But when she looked up and saw three pairs of incredulous looking faces staring back at her, she could only laugh sheepishly and scratch at her nose.

　　Lilith was the one who took a deep breath before looking over at Zeres and Kyle before seriously saying, "Let's be serious with it and just do it the way Iryz had shown us. Or else this won't end anytime soon." Though after saying that, she sighed heavily and still looked a little lost.

　　"You all can follow my lead... if you don't mind." Iryz offered after a short while of teaching them the moves.

　　Seeing that they were all about ready, Charles restarted the music and the four started dancing. For the first step when everyone was to use their hands to imitate the opening and closing of a chicken beak four times was not too bad. The second part, they were supposed to flap their elbows four times as well, as though they were chicken wings – this part, the girls were fine with it. But Kyle was a little shy so while he flapped his 'wings', his face was burning red. But Zeres just could not get the coordination of that movement, causing massive laughter from the rest because when his elbows flapped out, his fists somehow flapped in, and vice versa, causing more raucous laughter to burst out. By the time they got to the last step where they were supposed to clap their hands four times, Zeres was just so out of it that he could not even coordinate himself to clap.

　　The audience were laughing frantically, holding their stomachs in pain and some were even wiping off tears, as they watched the four of them dancing awkwardly as their faces were red in embarrassment, most especially for Zeres and Kyle who looked like they wanted nothing but to run and bolt the second they were able to. Both were wondering what on earth had they just gotten themselves into. They did not sign up for this! Damn it!

　　"Haha. Who thought of this?" Alex was laughing hard, holding his stomach and almost doubled over.

　　"Butler Charles." Abi whispered. "He'd asked me first if Zeke would be coming. And when I said yes, he gave us this idea."

　　Alex glanced at his old butler and gave him a big good-job, thumbs-up sign. It seemed that Charles immediately realized it was now possible to trick Zeke. "So, he came up with all that romantic dance punishment just to lure Zeke into losing? Haha. What a sly old man. I love it!!"
