Chapter 68- Stunned.
Marissa took a sip of her beer and sighed in contentment, "I’ve been looking forward to this all day," she said stretching her legs out.
Sophie nodded and grinned at her friend, "Me too. The good thing is at least you got a chance to win from Flint. Ha-ha."
"Girls!" Flint who was still dizzy sitting in the rocking chair huffed, "You can’t talk about me like I’m not here. And I lost intentionally. I didn’t want to see her giving up on life."
He pointed towards Marissa whose mouth was hung open in shock.
"Seriously, Flint? You lost! Accept it and move on," She shook her head and eyed Sophia who was trying hard to suppress her grin.
"My granddaughter cares for you a great deal. I couldn’t hurt her. The kids. They take you as an ideal. How will I tell them the next morning that their mom lost twice? Nah! I might be a gamer, but I’m also a human."
Marissa was looking at the old man who had gone back to sleep after delivering the speech and Sophia was busy covering her mouth. She wasn’t able to control her mirth anymore.
"Flint is getting older," Marissa rolled her eyes, "And you stop laughing, Doctor Sophia. Because you are going down in the next game."
She poked her finger in her friend’s shoulder. And Sophie started rubbing that part, "Uh huh. See! You are hurting me."
"Yeah. I know. Hurting you, my ass!" Marissa slapped her shoulder playfully and got up from the couch.
"It’s quite late now. My body needs to hit the bed!" she raised her arms to stretch her body.
