Chapter 23 - UNEXPECTED VISIT.

"Whhaaatttt?! You pervert!" She shouts and slaps me hard on my face.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" I shout in confusion and manage to gather myself and rise from her, glaring at her.

She is red and looks very very pissed off.

"You... You... Wa... Want to... Ma... Make out!" She scoffs. "You're a pervert! Did you bring me here to have your way with me?!"

"What?!" I shout in confusion, feeling funny. "I wouldn't do that! Even now that we're in the same room, I still wouldn't think of that?!"

"Wha... Whhaaatttt?!" She shouts.

"Sheesh! Calm down! It's not like I am going to touch a chase-me-to-the-moon kind of girl! What do I look like to you?! Prince charming?!" I scoff. "I only wanted you to help me loose my rope, so I could go relief myself by peeing! But..., Thanks for nothing!" I shout and shove pass her, storming into the restroom.

I lock the door and sigh. After some struggles, I cut the rope and pee, flushing it, washing my hands, coming out and closing the door behind me.

Aqua is lying on the bed, facing away from me.

I walk to her and sit on the bed. "Aqua?!" I call calmly. "Sorry. I lost it. It's just... I'm not myself right now. That's all."

"It's ok. I'm sorry too." She says dryly.

'Man! This apologising competition is making me sick!'

"How are you feeling?!" I ask calmly.

"Good." She says dryly.

"Ok... That's nice. Uhm... Have you eaten?!" I ask, feeling myself changing little by little.

"Yeah. I ate when you were enjoying a woman's hand, rubbing around your body." She says dryly and I flinch, blush and cringe at the same time.

"Well, you could give it a better explanation." I smirk.

"Yeah. Sure." She says, sarcasm obvious in her tone. She turns around and looks at me. "How about; you left to get seduced by a woman, enjoying the touching so much that you decide to celebrate with a drinking challenge after." She smiles an obviously fake innocent smile.

'Ok! She's good! Too good! How the...?!'

I bow my head in defeat and sigh in defeat. "Well, that might sound very true. But, trust me if I say that's not what happened at all." I say and raise my hand up in defence, raising my head to look at her.

'Well, the massaging was heavenly. To be sincere.'

"The massage?" She asks. "It wasn't good?"

"Uhhh.... Yes?" I smile awkwardly.

"Are you for real?!" She says, glaring at me.

I sigh tiredly and get up from the bed. "Good night, okay? Tomorrow, we'll talk better." I sigh. "I think I'm losing consciousness." I say and stand up.

"Where are you going to sleep?" She asks, her expression calm now.

"Don't worry. The floor is spotless. I'll manage."

"But..."

"Go to bed! You need it." I smile warmly. "Thanks for saving me today." My smile widens, transforming into a wide mischievous grin. "Guess you missed me that much and couldn't afford to lose me." I say and smirk.

She laughs uncontrollably. "Wait! You of all people?!" She laughs more. "It will occur once the earth is dry of every drop of water. I still might not have such feelings!" She smirks and I glare at her. "But thanks for saving my life." She smiles warmly.

"Yeah. Good night."

I walk some distance away from the bed and quickly lie on the floor.

"Okayyy... This is really good." I exhale in satisfaction and soon drift off to sleep.

I wake up, rising up and yawning, but not opening my eyes. "Man! That was some sleep. I feel surprisingly good and okay. I thought there's supposed to be some sort of after effects." I shrug, sighing in satisfaction and lying back on the floor.

'Hmmm? The floor is surprisingly very soft.'

I open my eyes and turn around to see Aqua facing the other side. "Good morning Aqua." I say sleepily, closing my eyes and turning around.

My eyes shoot open. 'Aqua?!' I turn around to look at her. 'What the...?!'

I quickly shift back and land on the floor, landing on my bum, groaning in pain and finally discovering why the supposed floor was soft.

I quickly rush to the restroom and pee, washing my hands, leaving the toilet, closing the door with my back facing Aqua and turning around to see an Aqua with a blank face.

'I hope she didn't see my morning business!'

"You...! You pervert!" She shouts and rises from the bed swiftly. She begins walking towards me and stops a few inch away from me.

"What do you mean?" I ask in confusion.

"Of course you won't remember!" She scoffs.

"Remember what?" I ask in confusion.

"Well, I took pity on you and lay you on the bed. But after some hours of not sleeping, the next thing I knew; you cuddled me and didn't want to let go. I tried but it was hopeless. And next thing I know, you became extremely ha..."

'GOD!'

"...ppy. You were laughing like a child who is cuddling a teddy bear." She scoffs. "You're a pervert."

'Phew.'

I laugh uncomfortably. "I'm sorry, forgive me." I say, trying to imitate a puppy face.

She scoffs. "Nice try. You look like a kid." She laughs dryly.

"Aren't I a kid?" I ask, glaring at her.

"I mean a K-I-D." She laughs more.

"Huh?"

She slaps her face, covering it. "A baby goat." She says, dropping her hands, laughing aloud and receiving a glare from me.

"And you... And you... And you look like a..." I sigh. "You know what? Just forget about it." I say dryly.

"Where were we, pervert?!" She shouts, glaring at me.

"Chill. It's not like we did anything." I say and smirk by mistake, receiving a gasp from her.

"So... You were planning to..." She covers her mouth and gasps, dramatically.

"Hell no!" I shout. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I swear I didn't." I sigh.

She sighs. "It's okay. It's my first. So, I guess it's nothing, as long as nothing else occurred." She says calmly.

"Yeah. That..." I laugh awkwardly.

She turns red. "Can I ask you something?" She asks.

"Sure."

"How soft was I?" She chuckles. "Because, you didn't want to let go and you were very happy." She laughs. "Although you later left me."

"Okay. You're crazy." I say feeling uncomfortable and laughing awkwardly.

Someone suddenly knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" I ask and walk to the door, getting a shock from the person standing outside.

"Ella?!"

"Hi. Good morning." She says and places a hand on my left breast, pushing me back gently and walking in. "Your massage?"

"What?! You go for big stuffs, huh?!" Aqua shouts and I flinch.

'GOD! Where did that idea come from?!'

"You didn't get a massage from me after winning the drinking contest. I know, you enjoyed Mary's massage. But trust me mine is the best." Ella says with a warm smile.

"What?!" Aqua shouts. "You had an extra special meeting schedule in our bedroom. Looks like last night wasn't enough." She says and I flinch, gasping aloud.

I turn around, looking at her and laughing awkwardly. "Our bedroom?" I ask in disbelief with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, you're with your girlfriend." Ella says nonchalantly.

"No! No!" I shout, turning around to face Ella.

"Yes!" Aqua shouts, causing me to flinch.

"What?!" I shout in disbelief, turning around to face her.

"We even shared the bed last night. And you should have seen him cuddling and not wanting to let go." Aqua says in an innocent tone.

I slap my hands on my face, covering it and groaning in frustration. 'This is going well.' I sigh.

"I'm sorry ma'am. But, that's none of my business. I obviously surpass you in massage. And come on! I've got better melons than you..."

'True'

"... And I bet he would cuddle me more than he cuddled you. If given the chance." She ends nonchalantly and I turn around to face a furious Aqua.

"Uh... I kinda need it. So..., I'll be coming soon. Just wait for me at the bar and I'll be there in an instant." I sigh and smile warmly. "Now, if you'll excuse me and my 'ASSSUMED GIRL'. I would really appreciate it." I say and she drops her hand and walks out.

"I'm waiting." She says and walks away.

I quickly shut the door and turn around, only to be slammed to the door by an angry Aqua, her two hands on my breasts.

"Can you leave my breasts?" I say sincerely.

"Isn't it chest?"

"Yeah. That... Is very correct." I laugh awkwardly.

She leaves me. "Did you do any other special things with the 'MARY AND ELLA'?" She asks sternly.

"No! What gave you such an idea?!" I ask in shock and disbelief.

"Nothing. I am just curious, since you go for big things." She says, glaring at me. She has been.

"Well, one: I don't. Two: I didn't do anything." I smirk. "Why?! You jealous... That I would be taken away from you?!" I ask and chuckle.

"Nope. You are nothing more than a 'KID' and a friend." She says and laughs aloud, receiving a glare and a smile from me.

"Thanks. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." I say dryly.

"Welcome and same." She frowns a little. "Funny, how we behave like we are old friends and like nothing happened yesterday." She says, her frown deepening.

"Yeah." I say dryly. "I'm still very sorry... For the... Uh... Cuddling and for all the fights. Let's just be happy and try our best to forget about it. " I say, feeling uncomfortable. I smirk. "I'm glad I freed you."

"Yeah. It was a nightmare. And now I don't even know their whereabouts." She says, feeling down.

I hug her and she tenses, but relax instantly. "It's ok. You're not alone now. We'll solve it together. No matter what, we'll defeat them." I say and free her. "Too much cuddling." I laugh. "I'm glad I later left you." I laugh awkwardly.

She laughs. "Yeah. You just left me as if you didn't cuddle me." She says and smiles.

"Yeah. Maybe I subconsciously discovered what I was doing." I say quickly, attempting to walk away. "Excuse me, I need to..."

A sudden knock on the door cuts me short.

"Who?" I ask and open the door, my eyes widening in horror and shock.

"Hi. It's me... Remember?" Mary greets me.

I laugh uncomfortably. "Yeah I do."

'Why?! Why now?!'

"I brought breakfast." She says and my eyes instantly drops to the tray she is carrying.

"Thank you." I smile warmly. "But were are the servers?" I ask.

She laughs. " I am a server. I only massaged you because, Ella was busy with the drinking men." She chuckles. "She is the only massager here. And trust me, she is the best!"

"Okay....?" I fake a wide smile.

"Can I come in?" She asks.

I turn around to face a glaring Aqua. "Nah. Let me help." I quickly carry the tray from her. "Bye." I begin closing the door.

"This isn't all." Mary says.

"Huh?"

She claps her hands and instantly, five more servers appear behind her.

"Oh." I say, feeling awkward. "You all can come in then." I say and walk over to the room's table, dropping my own tray. The servers follow me, dropping theirs and are about to leave.

"Wait." I say calmly and they all pause.

I quickly go to my wallet, pulling out eight thousand magians. I give each servers one thousand each and send them off quickly, as they were becoming to thankful for my liking, leaving only I and Mary.

"Thanks for yesterday night. You sure were good." I say with a wide smile and she chuckles.

"Sure. It's nothing." She chuckles.

I give her the remaining three thousand magians.

"Thank you so much. I am so grateful sir. I promise...." She continues appreciating, getting a little on my nerves.

"It's okay. It's nothing. Bye." I say, hurriedly.

"Bye." She says and leaves.

I quickly close the door and exhale in satisfaction.

'Glad that's over!' I sigh tiredly, turning to face a hungry Aqua, rushing down the food and drinks.

"Wow! I thought you ate last night." I say and smirk.

"I did, but I'm very hungry this morning. And besides, I'm not the one who is massaging you." She smirks. "So, I can eat myself to sleep." She laughs. "You sure enjoyed her hands." She says nonchalantly and I choke, trying my best to ignore it and causing her to laugh till she begins coughing.

"I would enjoy some choking noise right now." I say dryly as she stops coughing.

"Not possible." She laughs again.

"I need to shower. And... Uh... I need privacy."

"It would be very cool to me, if you shower after your lovely massage." She says either in sarcasm or in irony and I flinch. "And besides I'm eating. You don't expect me to leave the room, right?" She says, turning around and making a very cute puppy face.

'Wow! She looks cute! No wonder she called me a kid.'

I sigh. "Okay."

"Yeah." She turns back to her food. "Now hurry up! You're gonna keep melon princess waiting." She chuckles.

I groan in frustration. "You're being soo.... Jealous right now." I smirk. "It's obvious."

"Whatever." She says dryly.

I walk to her front and sit on the floor. "Aqua, I think I'm starting to develop feelings for you. So I need to ask you something?"

She looks at me, me not knowing if it is in horror, irritation or shock.

"Do you want me to go? Cos if you don't want me to go for the massage, you can say so and I won't go." I say calmly.

She closes her eyes. "I'm also developing feelings for you." She says calmly as tears begin running down her face. "I think... I think... I love you..."

My heart begins pounding. 'What?!'
