Chapter 3 AN EXPEDITION TO THE CAVE

CHAPTER THREE: AN EXPEDITION

It's been few years now since Ria officially left Luminous.

She had been quite happy, going on expeditions and living life to it's fullest.

"Hey girlie.. What are we having for breakfast?" Sam turned and grumbled beside her.

They were both on bed. Sam had permanently moved in with her at her mansion.

"Whatever you prepare, I'm fine with it." Ria smiled.

"Are you out of your fucking minddd?!!" Sam yelled.

"Hey, calm down. I only told you to make your choice." Ria stifled a laugh.

"Don't cook then. I will order takeout for myself." Sam lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.

"I will fix something for both of us then." Ria stood up and headed towards the door.

"Don't you dare!!" Sam ran over and blocked her way.

"Move... Aren't you hungry?" Ria folded her arms and smirked.

"Don't worry, I will order takeout for both of us." Sam dragged her back to the bed.

They were both bad cooks; terrible ones in fact.

The only dish they were confident in cooking was; nothing. They couldn't cook at all...

"Alright, alright... Let me go. I wanna take my bath." Ria got up and waltzed into the bathroom.

"Make sure you include soda in your order. We are out of stock." Ria added and humming a tune, she closed the door to the bathroom.

"Whatever... Aren't we going to the trip anymore?!" Sam yelled loudly enough to damage one's eardrum.

"Are you talking to me, or to the whole nation?!" Ria yelled back, though not as loudly as Sam did.

"Shut up and answer my question." Sam said.

"I will shut up then." The sound of the shower drowned her voice.

"Answer me, before I cancel the order." Sam threatened.

"Was that a threat?" Ria chuckled.

"Whatever you see it as..." Sam shrugged even though Ria wasn't there to see her.

At that moment, Sam's phone rang.

'Ring... ringggg.'

"Just a minute, I will be back for you." Sam picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

She was smiling initially, but her expression changed when she heard what the caller was saying.

"Are you out of your fucking mind? I'm your girlfriend, how dare you talk to me in that manner?" Sam's chest heaved up and down in anger.

"Ohh? You want us to breakup right? Of course, if that's what you want, how can I deny you the pleasure of having one?"

She hung up and flung the phone on the bed.

"Jerk!!" She screamed.

Ria rushed out with a towel draped around her body. Water was dripping down her body from the bath she just had.

One glance at her friend's face, and she could roughly guess what happened.

"Reece?" She went to sit beside her friend and patted her shoulders sympathetically.

Sam nodded without a word. Although she had acted defiant over the phone, she was hurt.

How couldn't she be?

"That jerk... He wanted us to break up." Sam sobbed.

Ria held herself from cheering in excitement. This was good news...

In fact, it was the best news she had heard throughout the week.

"His reason?" She calmly asked. She had always been against the relationship between her friend and Reece.

Reece was a playboy; in fact, Sam had caught him a couple of times. However she didn't want to let him go.

Sam had been hopelessly in love.

"He said I had been neglecting him for sometime now... When have I ever done that?" Sam raised her teary eyes and fixed them on Ria's.

"You know I have always been against your relationship with Reece. He had never loved you right from the start, girlie."

Ria herself didn't believe in love. Love was nothing but a farce,to her.

She was a submissive... Perhaps, that was what twisted her view on love.

But seeing her friend like this, she believed she couldn't be more correct than she was...

They had been dating for some years now,and he ended things on this note?

What a jerk!

"Wait... Are you done bathing?" Sam suddenly questioned.

"Nope. I rushed out immediately you shouted." With a laugh, Ria got up and went back to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Sam yelled,

"Do you want to permanently live there young lady?! Get your fucking ass out of there?!"

"My ears are clogged, I can't hear you!" Ria yelled back.

She soon came out and headed to the walk in closet to get dressed.

Sam scowled at her and went into the bathroom...

≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠

A cave.

Both ladies stood outside the entrance of the cave taking several photos.

"One more time..." Sam stuck out her ass and assumed a posture.

"That's what you have been saying... Let's head inside." Ria groaned.

"Whatever... Such a killjoy." Both of them walked into the cave.

It was quite dark, but they were prepared for it as they had brought flashlights. They also brought sleeping bags, food, and swimming trunks.

Yeah, swimming trunks.

Ria had discovered there was a beautiful lake in the cave. In fact, that was why she chose it.

They soon got to an open space where the lake was and Sam mouthed a 'wow.'

"This is soo beautiful..." She opened her eyes wide.

"I know, right?" Ria chuckled.

Glittering crystals shimmered on the lake from the ceiling, creating a dazzling effect and beauty.

"Hurry, let's swim." Ria began unpacking their bags and brought out their swimming suits.

"Why don't we swim naked? After all, there is no one here." Sam suggested bright eyed.

Ria laughed at how enthusiastic she was.

She agreed and they were both naked in minutes.

They both plunged into the lake at the same time making the water splash.

Sam closed her eyes and savored the cooling sensation she was feeling at that moment.

"This is heavenly... I could live here." She breathed.

"We..."

"We could live here." Ria corrected.

All of a sudden, there was a rumbling sound from the ceiling.

'Grrrrr...rrrrrr.'

Both ladies were startled as they hurriedly jumped out of the water, and wore their clothes.

"What was that?!" Sam panicked as her eyes went wide like saucers.

"I don't know too." Ria tried to remain calm.

Both of them ran towards the entrance and gasped when they got there...

The entrance to the cave had closed in on them...
