Sexy, Seductive, and Sultry

“Thank you so much sir, I have to go to my room” She appreciated, standing up with the dishes.

“Are you okay now? It’s very late already, you might disturb others when you start knocking on the door” He replied, reluctantly to let her go.

“I’m sure my roommate would open the door, I’m fine now thank you” She replied, stepping away from him.

“What if I insist you stay?” He cocked his brow and she took in a deep breath, swallowing the lump in her throat.

“I.. i.. Aurora, what if she comes here? She would kill me if she finds me in your room, I can’t sleep here” She replied.

“Forget about Aurora and let’s talk about us”

“Sir?” She blurted, her heart thumping very fast that he could hear the sound.

“Are you scared? Why? Do you think I’ll hurt you, common I’m not an animal. Why are you scared of staying in the same room with me?” He requested.

“Rumors travel very fast and I wouldn’t want anyone to see me coming out of your room tomorrow, I would be in hot soup”

“Sometimes think about the positive side, like we might get to know each other, you can get acting tips from me and lots of things” He suggested, holding her hand.

She shook with fear and tried to draw back her hand but he held on tight.

“Please, stay with me just for tonight” He pleaded, giving her puppy eyes, she felt bad rejecting such a look and she burst into laughter.

“Your laughter is contagious and your smile beautiful” He complemented, trying to conceal a blush making him chuckle.

“You.. you look great too, everything about you is great” She said shyly and he led her to his bed.

She sat on the bed, feeling too close, she moved away slowly and he moved with her, smiling boyishly.

She moved to the end and he closed the gap between them making her glare at him as he chuckled.

“You don’t have to be scared, I’m not going to eat you up even if you look very delicious” He teased.

“Say something, why do you keep staring at me? I mean, I know I’m very handsome and all but you’ve got to say it. Stop keeping things to yourself” He said jovially and she giggled.

“Would you like to have a drink? Champagne?”

“No, I don’t drink,” She replied.

“Common, a little wouldn’t hurt, it’ll only make you bold enough to face me. I promise not to get you drunk” He swore, handing her a glass and she took a sip slowly.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She loved the taste and didn’t know when she finished the second glass, asking for me.

“No, that’s enough for today, you can have more tomorrow and it’s midnight already, go to sleep” He advised and she shook her head.

“Do you think it’s easy to sleep beside a big bag of sexy muscles carefully arranged to perfection? My insides churn whenever we brush our hands, how would I sleep when your scent is all that has filled my nostrils and head?” She confessed and he held her cheek.

“Stop doing that, whenever you do that my heart thumps very fast”

“You mean this?” He demanded and claimed her lips with his softly.

She stifled a moan, wrapped her hand around him and he drew her closer, running his hand around her spine.

He kissed her gently, so unlike him.

He wanted the kiss to be an everlasting memory in her hand, after some minutes, he broke the kiss, staring at her tears eyes.

She stepped back, laid on the bed and went to sleep.

He stared at her, used the duvet to cover her before going to sleep beside her.

Aurora stormed to Thomas’s room angrily.

She banged the door, stomping her feet and after a few minutes, a drowsy looking Thomas opened the door.

“Yea, what do you want?” He requested, blocking her from entering as she tried to check who was inside.

“I heard you brought her here, where’s that bitch?!” She shouted, trying to enter the room.

“Keep your voice down, she’s here, what are you gonna do about it? What’s your problem, how dare you dictate to me who to let into my room?” He retorted.

“I’ll dictate to you who enters and leaves this room because I’m the only lady in your life! I’m sure that bitch made that sickness up just to get your attention and she’s leaving now!” She yelled, attracting people.

Brianna, who had woken up because of the noise, tapped Thomas’s shoulder, trying to know what was wrong.

She was surprised to see Aurora staring at her viciously.

“Get out!” Aurora yelled, pulling Brianna out by her hair. Thomas held her back and she pushed him away angrily.

“Leave her alone!” He commanded, drawing Brianna away.

People had gathered at the passage and Isabelle was amongst them. She ran to Brianna and hugged her closely.

Rachel who had been watching from above took out her phone and began videoing them.

“How are you feeling? I’ve missed you” Isabelle said, out of breath and Aurora glared at her.

Brianna who was feeling very ashamed and embarrassed couldn’t utter a word, she just bowed her head, biting back tears.

“Aurora, stop this! She was only sick. Why are you making a big deal out of this?!” Isabelle yelled and Lettice came to take Brianna away.

“Why are you taking her away? She’s a bitch. She’s just a lowlife who’s looking for someone she would use to gain fame” Aurora yelled, laughing like an insane person.

The crowd disappeared and Thomas went to his room angrily.

After getting inside, he freshened up and refused to leave his room even after getting several calls from Chris and Aurora.

“What did you put inside the drink you gave me?” Brianna questioned Rachel who tried to hide her surprise.

“What do you mean? Are you framing me as poisoning you? I gave you a canned drink. How would it be possible for me to poison you without the drink being open? What would I gain from doing it?” Rachel retorted.

“I don’t know how you did it but I’m very sure it’s you”

“Oh please, you’re just looking for who to take the blame for your stupid actions, I know you took the drug just to get Thomas’ attention, now that you’ve gotten it, you’re trying to act innocent, bravo.. I never knew lowlifes could be this desperate” Rachel mocked and left the room.

She heard a knock on the door and opened it to reveal Aurora, Lettice and Isabelle. Aurora had a vile look on her face while the others had straight faces.

“We have to talk” Lettice mumbled, sitting on the bed, she held Brianna’s hand, staring at her face.

“I need to hear the truth. What did you take yesterday? Why did you spend the night at Thomas’s room?” Lettice asked.

“I.. I ..”

“She’s about to lie!” Aurora swore.

“Let her talk, we all know she’s very shy” Isabelle defended.

“I had just finished swimming and I went to the deck. I was feeling very tasty and Rachel passed me a drink. I took it to my stretcher, had a gulp and after a few minutes I started feeling pains” She explained.

“Thomas told me that you had taken a drug that would disfigure you and make you shrink… I’m not surprised that Rachel is behind all these”

“She’s trying to shift the blame to someone else, I know Rachel wouldn’t do such. Tell me a more realistic story, not this shit!” Aurora ranted.

“Nothing happened between Thomas and I yesterday! He only insisted I stayed in his room because it was too late and I might wake everyone up if I started knocking. You should think high of him, he’s not one of those guys who would stoop low for just any girl. He would always go for girls with class and beauty all of which I have none” Brianna replied and Aurora nerves began to calm.

“Aurora, don’t you think you’re going too far? You’ve been creating scenes and embarrassing him outside, you should think things through before doing anything” Isabelle advised.

“Just stay out of all these Isabelle, we all have that person whom we’re crazy about, butt out” Aurora replied.

A big smile carved on her face and after giving one last glance at Brianna, she left.

“Now tell me, how were you feeling? Did you touch his hands? Did you stare at his face? I want every details” Isabelle demanded tickling shy Brianna who tried hard not to blush.

“Wait!… that blush is telling me a different story.. Did you do anything? Oh! You kissed? Had sex?” Isabelle demanded gasping and Brianna rolled her eyes.

“No! We didn’t do anything.. we just had a short conversation..” Brianna replied dreamily and Isabelle concealed a smile.

“Are you sure.. because your face looks like you had much more than a short conversation… it’s alright if you don’t wanna tell us, we would find out soon” Lettice teased and Isabelle frowned.

“Thomas isn’t coming out of his room, Chris took food but he has refused to open the door. I’m so tired of Aurora’s pestering. This trip is turning into a disaster and we are returning in two days time” Isabelle complained with a deep breath.

“Why isn’t he opening up? So he hasn’t taken anything since?” Brianna demanded with surprise.

“He’s very angry and I’m not sure if he would want to talk to anybody… except you” Lettice added.

“Are you sure he wouldn’t shout at me? I’m sure he would want to see Aurora instead” She blabbered.

“Noo, Aurora had tried but he didn’t open the door, I’m very sure he wants you. Everyone has tried but to no avail. You’re our only hope” They pleaded, making puppy eyes.

“Brianna! Brianna! Brianna!” Isabelle chanted and after much hesitation, she agreed.

She walked slowly to his room and stopped in front of his door, counting to 5, she knocked on the door.

After some minutes,

“Who’s that?” He replied rudely.

“Brianna,” She replied slowly.
