"Liar. Why are you staring at me through your fingers?" He asked.
"Oh, i wasn't staring, i was only wondering, if baboons take a bath now..."
"Oh...They do. But, does a crazy unattractive need to ask?"
'I Am NOT unattractive. You ask as though you can't see that am prettier than you."
"I know that." Roman said.
"WHAT THE HELL? YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" She screamed.
"You are not afraid i'll fire you for saying that." Roman smirked and Nova grabbed a towel. She stormed to the bathroom. She came out wearing the hotel's robe and Roman already left.
"What a jerk..." Soon, he burst in and opened the drawer to pick some files.
"Woah, you scared me." He gave the files to someone at the door and closed it again. He rested on the bed.
"Mr Assman will check out the files and return it to us. Then we can leave here." he explained to Nova.
"Nova..." he sat up, and she didn't pay attention.
"NOVA!" He screamed and she came back to her senses.
"Um....um...eh....am..am sorry. I was thinking about something." Nova said.
"Did you remember what happened last night?" Roman asked her.
"Me? Not really." She answered.
"You...you got drunk and played in the rain."
"REALLY?? That's so cute." Nova tucked her hair behind her ear and gave a short smile.
"And i brought you in before a car hit you..."
"OMG! Thank you so much. Then..."
'Then you told me....you told me you were..you told me you were in love with me.." Roman broke the news and Nova gasped.
"We kissed."
"What the...." Novalie and Roman were silent for a long, long time. Nova was lost in his eyes, and Roman was waiting for her to speak.
"Did you mean all what you said last night? The kiss, did you mean it?" Roman asked Nova as she took off her glasses and blinked away tears.
'Yes, sometimes people mean what they say when they are drunk. But most of the time, people say whatever comes to mind when drinking without any concern if it's genuinely how they feel. Alcohol lowers inhibition and makes people feel talkative, extroverted, and emboldened."
"Not people, am talking about you Nova."
"Em....em...yes. I meant it. I love you President Roman." Nova declared and Roman was shocked.
"Are you drunk?'
"of course not. I do love you. I understand you don't know how to love a woman. I don't know if am telling the right person this, but i've been single for long enough." Nova concluded, and tears rolled down Roman's cheeks as he held her eyes.
"Can i?"
"You are very much welcome." Roman pulled her close and placed his lips slowly on hers. He had learnt to control himself. He held her waist, and tried his best to focus. Nova was so happy that she started crying and Roman tasted her tears.
Stacie and Alan came out of their bedroom to go for breakfast.
"Let's see what Nova's doing."
"She might be work...." Stacie and Alan gasped in unison as they watched their passionate kiss.
"Wow!" Novalie tried to pull away but they both fell on the ground on each other.
"Let's go for breakfast." Novalie whispered.
"You are my only breakfast Novalie" He continued kissing her and caressed her neck. Nova felt a bit uncomfortable. He attempted to loose the robe belt but Nova pushed him hard.
"Stop. Let's go for breakfast." They stood up and noticed someone's eye.
"STACIE????!!!!!" Nova shrieked. Stacie and Alan came into the room and burst into laughter as Nova itched her neck.
"Alan and Alanna" She said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.
'Whoops, sorry." They smiled and winked.
"We are official." Roman pulled Novalie to himself as she smiled shyly. Alan and Stacie clapped.
"Wait Stacie, are you really Alanna? I mean your other names?" Alan asked.
"hm hm." Stacie blushed.
"Wowww!!!!!! So i'll call you Alanna, okay?"
"Hm hm." Roman and Alan walked out of the room for breakfast, and Stacie shut the door behind them.
"Ahhhh!!!!!!!" She shrieked loudly, doing a happy dance.
"So Nova you finally have a boyfriend of your own?? Its so romantic." Stacie yelled.
"Sorry for stopping you from doing 'the thing' "
"Silly you, you didn't stop us. I decided not to."
"Why? You wanna remain virgin till your death second?" Stacie asked and Nova rolled her eyes.
"So why did you lock me up here now?" She folded her arms as Stacie grabbed her wrist and placed her on the chair.
"Wear something fancy. And where are your boring glasses?"
"I didn't bring them."
"Good one." Stacie opened the closet and saw some 'unattractive' clothes she had brought.
"Woah. I feel like puking. Wait here." Stacie rushed out of the room and in a few seconds, she was back.
"Wear this please."
"WHY? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU GOT IT!" Nova thundered.
"Open the box first." It was the shortest red gown ever.
"Woah."
"Please wear it, for my sake...." Stacie begged and handed her a heavier box. It was a shoe box with red shoes. Stacie left the room and Nova scoffed.
"This girl is unbelievable." She shook her head. She wore the dress, and was so uncomfortable in it. It didn't even touch her knees, and it had no arms. She wore a jacket and packed her files. She sat near the mirror and did her makeup.
The glass door behind her slowly opened, but Nova didn't notice. The person had a scary face mask on, and her long golden hair were in curly ringlets. Nova saw the figure in the mirror and turned around.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as the figure covered up her mouth with a napkin which made her unconscious immediately. The figure in the mask closed her eyes.
"Wendy, Lindsay...Here. Room 106." She said as footsteps rushed into the room.
"Shivers." The figure thought as Nova started shivering uncontrollably. The figure placed Nova on Wendy's back and took off the mask. It was AMANDA.
"Sixth sense! That freaking fish is on her way here..." Lindsay predicted breathing heavily as Amanda thought..
"May you fall from the second flight of stairs and hit your head badly, you crap of a girl."
Stacie hummed as she walked up the first flight, as she was on the second flight, she missed a step and rolled down the stairs, hitting her hair on the ground breathing.
Lindsay and Wendy carried Nova out the window and were running away.
"HEY!" Some guards stopped them as police men rushed out of a small house with handcuffs to arrest them for taking away an unconscious girl.
Amanda stared at the police with so much disgust and anger, and suddenly, they all turned into stone. Before they walked out the gate, Amanda, Lindsay and Wendy started mumbling, and shapeshifted into three cats carrying a rat.
People looked at them and smiled. They reached a dark castle and shape shifted again.
'Mama, we've brought your prey." They said in unison as they bowed before a dark queen.
"Woah, that's very nice." She smiled wickedly as they placed Nova on a table. Amanda mumbled as she slowly opened her eyes. She was searching for a mask when Mama stopped her.
"No! How can you be this weak? Let her see you." Nova stood up scared.
"What am i doing here? The hotel....Amanda...Rom..." Nova hardly spoke when the dark queen rose up from her black throne and slapped her.
"ROMAN?? HOW DARE YOU EVEN SAY HIS NAME? THAT BOY, YOUR DEAR PRESIDENT, WHOM YOU CITIZENS LOOK UPON, YOUR EXCUSE OF A BOYFRIEND, IS MY SON!" The dark queen declared as Nova covered her mouth with her hands.
"WHAT AM I DOING HERE AMANDA? ANSWER MY QUESTION!" Nova cried.
"How dare you yell at me you freak?" She turned to face her.
"Look baby girl, this is the dark castle, and you'll be here, till further notice."
"Why?" Nova cried.
"You'll know that in the future." Amanda stared at her, and she turned into hard stone. The evil creatures, all nodded, like they were transmitting thoughts, and a substance like sand, left Amanda's body, and it flew away.
