Bab 1: The setting, the trap, the prey wins the war
On the top floor of a quiet hotel room overlooking a beautiful view of a colourful amusement park still bustling with activity. An array of colours as far as the eye can see decorated the land below, a large contrast from the silent, dark and more subtle nature of the room.
The bell rings and the elevator doors open, muffled laughter can be heard coming down the corridor inching closer and closer, getting louder and louder till it is right outside the door, just when it seems like the group of joyous people are about to continue on their jovial journey and walk past the door the lock clicks and door flies open and a body falls into the room along with a flood of laughter.
A group of university students ram into the room, some even stepping over their unfortunate friend who located a bed at the door.
Andrew, (the group's silent beast of a man) stood at the door looking down at the girl sprawled across the entrance.
He stands there for a bit contemplating on how to go about entering the room without being a total douche. A little while later, he bends and grabs her hand and lifts her onto his massive shoulder, almost effortlessly he carries her to the bed and lays her there next to Angela, (the group's intelligent devious queen)
Angela laughs out loud as she sees her friend Berry (the group's sweet princess and master of all things fun) being carried to bed after collapsing at the door.
Watching all this Michael (the boy prodigy and class hunk) fell off the second bed laughing at how things had changed so much throughout the night.
Michael: "Is this the same Berry who was talking smack about how we weren't going to last the night in our right minds, haha, look who isn't in any mind now"
He started trying to climb back onto the bed, struggling to get much grip to help him up, but finally managed to get his top half onto the bed only to be pushed back onto the floor by Raymond(the group's sweetheart bully)
Raymond: "YOU aren't in your right mind if you think I'm going to share this bed with you"
Michael: "Bro! I was here first, how did I get evicted!"
Michael recovered his energy and jumped up and onto the bed and started attacking Raymond. Soon, a childish boy fight erupted over who would rule the bed.
Angela: "You children should quit these games of yours and be chill like me and Berry..." she said as she caressed Berry's sleeping face.
Raymond laughed through the fight and momentarily blocked Michael's useless punches to look at the scene on the girls' bed.
Raymond: "I would stop fighting and chill just to witness you and Berry being beastly any day."
Michael also stopped the useless fight to listen to the great suggestion his foe was putting across.
Michael: "Yes! get down and dirty right now!"
Angela looked at two and laughed at their sudden interest.
Angela: "As much as I would love to do that, I can't... just look at this sweet innocent sleeping face, that would be total rape!"
Michael: "Booooooo!"
Andrew who had been listening silently decided to speak hoping to save a poor girl from being abused by her rowdy friends.
Andrew: "How about we play a round of Monopoly as we wait for consent from Berry. It should be more engaging then..."
Raymond: "Hmm, yeah that's not a bad idea, let's do that!"
And so they did, they played late into the night until a groggy Berry woke up, grumbling about how much noise was around her and how much her body hurt.
Michael: "The princess is awake at last!"
Angela: "Good morning honey! Come and join us"
Berry looked up at the people around her with a lost look on her face before finally struggling to get off the bed and into the bathroom to clean up.
The others continued to play as Berry slowly eased herself into useful consciousness.
The night on the town had been rough on her usually calm self.
It was their last day in Malaysia and they had decided it would be fun to go out and try out all they could try out. Unfortunately for her along the way, they discovered a candy shop complete with a cotton candy stand and Berry could not help but indulge in her childish pleasures but how well that ended up, she cursed to herself for her stupid weakness.
After a while, she came out of the bathroom and innocently snuggled up to Angela putting her head on Angela's lap as if looking for reassurance that she had not been totally embarrassing in front of everyone.
Angela laughed at the kitten-like posture Berry had assumed, but she didn't mind, it seemed the boys were eating it up because they had paused everything and started looking expectantly at Angela.
She giggled lightly and decided to take action. so she stood up abruptly leaving Berry laying on the bed still completely embarrassed but trying to make it "work".
As she tried to look as natural as possible she found herself being turned to face the ceiling next thing she knew Angela was on top of her looking dangerously devious.
Angela bent over her darling, having pinned her to the bed she was ready to do the impossible. Tonight, she would finally follow through and realize her feelings! She looked into the confused eyes staring up at her, still blank from just waking up.
There were loud cheers around them, but she didn't care for them one bit.
'CHANCE!' Angela thought, 'at long last, she is in my grasp'
'She's a little drowsy and completely consenting to anything I do to her; besides I can't deny her the experience right?' With that deciding thought, she leaned down slowly and landed the small sweet smack on Berry's flushed cheek. There was a loud silence as Angela lifted her head proudly and looked at her darling's even more confused face.
"What the f+++ Angela?" Raymond asked disgusted, breaking the silence.
Michael: "Yeah Angela what the hell was that…"
Andrew: "Such a letdown, seriously…"
The boys chimed all at once, booing her childish act.
Angela laughed in glee at the effect of her actions on the others.
After a while, Berry had recovered from the shock and was equally as upset as the others
"Angela! How dare you!" She protested!
Angela: "Haha, what are you upset about my dearest Cherry Berry? You were not consenting"
Berry let out an offended sound "How did you get to that conclusion?"
"Well…" He caressed her cheek softly as she spoke,
Angela: "Firstly, you're not in the right state of mind, I can't even begin to take advantage of my dearest one in such a way, and secondly it's no fun if you're going to go along with it"
"Heeeeh? Angela, why do you sound like a manipulative CEO threatening your sweet little secretary?" Michael asked playfully
Angela: "I learnt from the best, right Andrew?" she winked at him, but he turned away and humphed, refusing to be part of the bad show. Angela just laughed and turned back to look at Berry who had then meanest scowl on her face.
"Hmm, you're right then… you don't have my consent…" Berry said calmly before pushing the lost Angela off her and onto the other side of the bed. Angela didn't even have time to comprehend what had just happened before Berry was on all fours and top of her. So, she let out a small cry of surprise. The guys could only gasp at the sudden turn of events
Berry: "…You don't have my consent... to be on top"
"Smooth…" Andrew said nodding with approval as Berry took matters into her own hands and deeply kissed the surprised Angela to submission. After a short while of intense sparks going off, the two begin undressing each other and the boys decided to leave.
They had dressed down to their underwear when the door finally closed behind their exiting male counterparts who had kept on peeking from the door excited to see the outcome of this very interesting show but Andrew had insisted they give the two girls some privacy.
Angela is the one who broke the kiss first, much to the disappointment of Berry who was so into it.
Angela: "Berry… you can get off me now"
"Huuuh? What do you mean by that my sweet?" Berry pouted leaning in to kiss Angela's cheek
"I'm serious! Get off me!" Angela said angrily, roughly pushing Berry off her and onto the floor.
"Ow!" Berry cried in pain and surprise. "What did you do that for? That was totally unnecessary"
Angela: "That was totally disgusting is what it was."
Berry looked at Angela with a ton load of confusion even forgetting the pain she was in from being thrown onto the floor.
Angela had already started dressing up and was muttering angrily,
Angela: "We were just supposed to play around a little bit, and mess around innocently just so that he can hear about how he lost me to a girl. But noooo, you had to go ahead and get horny and try sleep with me as if I'm some sick f*** to do that."
Berry: "Angela… are you saying that all that was just a show? All this flirting you have been doing for the whole trip-"
"Yes, you sick creep, I used you!" Angela cut her off, to spare herself the sentimental stuff and get out of the room as quickly as possible.
As soon as she finished dressing, she stood up hurriedly and started packing her suitcase.
Berry who had been cut-off stared at Angela dumbfounded, she knew it would do no good to give her the 'I-thought-we-had-something-going' talk because they weren't dating or anything so she decided to ask the less damaging question that would probably hopefully lead to the "don't-tell-anyone-I'm-Lesbian-because-I'm-not" talk.
Berry: "Where are you going?"
Angela: "I'm not staying in the same room as you, you might get ideas, I don't want to be raped! Especially not by a girl…"
That simple statement did it, for Berry. Anger instantly boiled up deep inside her and she spat out at Angela.
Berry: "You can stop packing… I'll leave, I already packed."
It was enough that she had been lied to and used but to be insulted for going along with it unknowingly.
Angela stopped and looked at her arrogantly, "well… hurry up, go on before you change your mind and decide to prey on poor little me"
Berry's froze, her eye twitching, she was ready to lash out but she knew better than to start a fight with Angela, this girl had enough influence to destroy her life completely, and Berry wasn't about to let something this insignificant be the reason she doesn't get a job after graduating.
So she held her tongue, calmed her heart, put on her clothes as quickly as she could, grabbed her bags and ran out of the room, all the while enduring the evil look Angela had on her face.
Berry closed the door behind her with tears now flowing from her eyes. She stood there wondering where to go. She couldn't run to the boys' room, that would just raise questions she didn't want to answer, her other classmates were probably either asleep or still out drinking.
Confused and heartbroken, Berry could only think about getting as far away as possible from that place, so she ran! Tears flooding her eyes she could only rely on her memory of where the closest exit was and she headed that direction dragging her suitcase behind her. As she turned the corner she met an unexpected human obstacle, the collision causing them both to tumble to the ground.
"Ooof!" a deep voice let out as they fell to the ground.
Berry recovered and found herself being held by a pair of muscular arms that had protected her from the fall.
"I'm... so... so.... sorry!" Berry managed to say through her tears. She then moved to get off the unfortunate soul that had taken the full blow of their impact. But the man resisted and held on to her.
"Berry! what happened? why are you crying?" the man said
Berry: 'This voice? Is it really...?'
Berry looked up at the man and there laying under her was none other than Alexander McKenzie Lee (class superhero, hottie of hotties and an ironically a super nice guy. He also happened to be Angela's love interest who had recently rejected her because of being interested in someone else or some reason along those lines...)
No one had a chance with this guy Angela was just the most recent of his "rejectees", Berry was no better and no prettier than any of the girls before her so she had always maintained a friendly with this angel of a man.
And yet here he was, holding her tightly to him like she was the only one he ever wanted to hold.
Berry let herself melt into his embrace and cried. Knowing that he was only being nice comforting a friend he had found crying. She knew all this was just for the moment. But even if it was just for that moment she would enjoy it. This feeling that someone cared for you when you were low, was just too nice to let go of. So she didn't let go, she held him back and they sat there one comforting the other, till Berry had cried herself to sleep in his arms.
Berry was woken up by a sudden powerful tremble around her, causing her to scream a little as she came out of her restful sleep.
She found herself seated in a comfy chair, covered by a warm blanket. Looking around and then out of the window she realised she had somehow found her way on to the plane. As she looked turned from the window to look around the second time she found Angela with an ugly look if her face standing over her, forcing a smile and caring gesture she said,
"Berry honey, how are you feeling?"
Instinctively Berry recoiled and pulled away from Angela almost wanting to pass through the walls of the plane. Finding she could not move further she covered her face.
"Leave her Angela!" Alexander shouted coming back to his seat next to Berry as quickly as he could. He moved Angela away roughly and sat down to start trying to calm Berry down.
Angela: "Oh? So all you had to do was fake a faint and the great Alexander came running to you?!
You ****** ** *****, all this time you encouraged me to try my luck on him, just so you could see me fail? When you had him under your little finger all this time? Some friend you are? But that's not all now is it Berry? even if you have the world's hottest man at your beck and call you're not satisfied now are you?"
By this time Berry had started tearing up again, wondering how it got like this? How did she end up in such a situation? Just when she had escaped it.
Angela kept shouting: "huh Berry?! you aren't satisfied with having him or any man because you're a disgusting person who-"
Just then there was loud smack and Angela almost toppled over holding her cheek which was turning red hot from the slap that Alexander had landed on her face.
The whole plane grew silent and everyone now paid attention to the drama that had erupted.
Alexander: "I've had enough of you Angela. Please leave.
Angela became even more enraged and her eyes bulged, she was never letting this go, she straightened up completely ignoring the slap and kept up the attack.
"AH!, Berry, you witch! what sort of charms did you use to get the amazing sweet Alexander to become a violent brute so not only are you crooked, you're al-"
Before she could finish her statement Alexander had had enough and called out suddenly,
"Guards, please take this one away I don't want to see her for the rest of the flight"
Large men who had been seating inconspicuously around the cabin suddenly stood, grabbed the stunned Angela and took her away.
Alexander then sat down to calm Berry who was now crying bitterly hiding her hands.
Alexander tried to caress her but she shied away from him, knowing he would only cause her more trouble with the angry Angela. And she didn't want that, she already made peace with only having him comfort her once. But for a second time, this was just inviting unnecessary conflict.
After a while Alexander saw that all his attempts were not working, so he tried to lure her out of the cocoon she had enveloped herself in.
Alexander: "Berry you need to eat something! You haven't eaten all morning, it's lunchtime now, here, eat something, it's good."
He reached into his bag and pulled out the butter croissant he had saved for her.
But Berry did not budge. She just sat there, hiding. Alexander decided that maybe it was best to leave her to calm down on her own. And it paid off, before long she started poked her swollen face out of the blanket to observe her surroundings, she smelled lunch being prepared and she couldn't resist the hunger that was now eating her.
An air-hostess came to the seat and said "Sir, we apologize for the little disturbance earlier we didn't realize you were aboard-- we apologize! Is there anything we can get you and your... Uhm... girlfriend?"
Berry: 'Sir? Apologize? why is she acting like Alexander is some Prince even if he's handsome it doesn't warrant such treatment...' Berry was so confused by everything that she promised to get 100% sleep and rest before going back to school because she was hearing and seeing things that didn't make sense and she couldn't be this disoriented at the start of a new semester.
Alexander tugged at Berry's arm snapping her back to reality
Alexander: "Honey, do you want to have anything for lunch?"
"Yes... lunch" Berry managed to say, completely disregarding his pet name.
The hostess stood there for a little bit waiting for further orders but when none came she just nodded and ran to the back to fetch whatever they had for the Prince's bride.
When she had left Alexander took Berry's hand which had escaped the blanket and held it tightly.
He looked into her eyes and said gently,
"I'm sorry you had to go through all this, but I promise I won't let anything like this happen to you again. I know it sounds cliché but, haha, I promise I'll take care of you forever" and he kissed her hand.
Berry: "Alex, why are you saying all of these things. You don't have to do anything, I just got into an unfortunate situation with Angela and I shouldn't have but I did. It was my fault... I'll take care of it..."
Alexander: "You did nothing wrong! Nothing can warrant how she treated you, and in public."
Berry: "But Alex...*Sigh* Why are you going out of your way to help me like this, it really was nothing to involve yourself with"
Alex laughed at Berry's naïvety before saying,
"Because, I like you silly, isn't it obvious?"
Berry went wide-eyed with shock and disbelief and didn't immediately say anything to his proclamation.
She only knew that she really needed to sleep and reset her senses because she was day daydreaming without even intending to.
Berry: "haha, the effects of lack of sleep really are getting to me...." she whispered mostly to herself as she held her head.
Alexander heard her and lifted her face and planted a kiss on her lips to try to convince her of his feelings much to the surprise of the people seating around them and more so to Berry who could no longer convince herself that she was dreaming.
And so began a pretty crazy relationship between the sweet princess and hot hunk of the class.
