(No Boys Allowed)
BRIANNA SWUNG THE BEDROOM DOOR shut as swiftly as she could, but the guy outside was stronger and pushed it abruptly to open, making his way in.
"The name's Kairen. Not Karen," he asserted and started walking inside, roaming her eyes around, like a supervisor. "So, Bryan, this is where you're staying after you left your house? I wasn't informed, until now."
"See? You're also calling me Bryan. I think calling you Karen would be fair enough. Tss!" she mumbled.
"Naze kanojo wa koko ni? [Why is this girl here?]" he murmurs in words she cannot understand. All she knows is that it is in another language.
"Hey! Don't talk to me in Chinese, you Chinese guy."
"I'm not Chinese. I'm a Japanese," he corrected and turned around to her.
"It's just the same. What's the difference? Duh!"
"Baka [i***t]."
Her brows arched in confusion, one side of her lips goes with it. Just what the hell? Did he just called her Baka? That word, from her native tongue, Filipino, means cow in English.
"What did you just call me?"
He just smirked. "The family talk is over. You also agreed. You can't escape the wedding just because you stayed in a dormitory."
She rolled her eyes. "Who says I'm running away?"
"You're running away from me," he said as he turned his back on her. "How cunning of you. It was said that you were going back to school but I never thought that you would stay in dormitory."
"We're just marrying in papers. Who says we have to please each other?"
"Well. I don't even think about living with you either. Like I said, I just have to marry you."
He just keeps walking and looking at every part of the room, looking around, making her to do as well.
Her eyes widened when she saw her bra on the floor. She just remembered that she was not wearing anything under her top. Stepping towards her bed, she simply picked up the large pillow and hugged it to cover her chest. She sat on the edge of the bed, compacting it down, and kicked her undergarment underneath the bed.
She let out a relief, showed her complete set of teeth when he turned around to her.
"Why are you smiling so weird?"
"Nothing," she answered right away. "What are you doing here? Guys are not allowed to visit rooms. You're only allowed up to the lobby on the first floor."
"But I'm not just some visitor. I'm your fiancé." he said, vaingloriously. "Besides, I have my ways. Nothing is impossible for us if you know how to use the power we have."
Once again, his eyes wandered, and stopped at the box of cookies she had eaten last night with Vane. They haven't finished all of it.
"You like it? I thought, you don't like sweets?" she asked when she notice that he's staring at it for a moment, thinking of something.
For a moment, she can read glimpse of sadness in his eyes. Is it? Impossible. How can something sweet can make someone sad?
The look on his face faded, and went back to how it used to be, when a sudden knock on the door broke the moment of silence. He turned to her in a questioning look.
"You're expecting someone?"
Her head shook deliberately. "Nothing. Except for my roommate."
Scurriedly, she got up, and pushed the man backwards, promptly.
"Your roommate?"
"Yeah. So, you better hide. Quickly!"
"Are you ashamed of me? You shouldn't be embarrassed that your fiancé is as good looki--"
"Hush! Shut up. Just hide. Told you. Guys are not allowed here," she hissed, pushing the guy.
Accidentally, she pushed him too hard that she was able to have him on her bed, sitting while his hands firmly placed on the edge. Surprised and later, a naughty grin formed on his sexy lips.
"Oh! This is wild. I didn't think you're this--" stopped when she gave him a slap in his arm.
His body might not look like pretty well-built, but the muscles are firm and feels solidly strong.
He raised both his hands, declaring surrender. He looks surprised at what she just did.
"Okay. I'll hide. You don't have to slap me. I'm not a masochist." He massages the part of his arm while motioning it in circular. "Kuso [s**t]. You're hand is heavy. You're really a man, aren't you?"
Shele just rolled her eyes, still hugging the pillow and headed for the door.
"What took you so long? I've been standing there for quite a while," Chang asked as she enters the room.
Fortunately, Kairen was no longer in her sight. Where he hid doesn't matter. What matters is that, no one can see him.
She stopped by at her mirror on her table, shaking the messy bun on top of her head to make it messier.
"Lend me your notes. I didn't jot down the lessons earlier," said Chang as she comfortably lay down on her bed and began scrolling the phone from her pocket.
"You know I don’t write either,” she told. "We're both lazy bitches."
A giggle escaped her lips, hugging one of her pillows. "Let's go to the other dorm. In the boys' dormitory," she said in a flirty voice.
"Whoa! So that's why you're acting differently, you crazy."
She knew she was planning something, for she will not return unless she got other reason. She thought she went home already.
She hit her friend with the pillow she was hugging, declaring a pillow fight. But Chang stopped and stared blankly at her chest as soon as she held the pillow.
"Bri, you're not wearing a bra."
She looked down at her chest and immediately hugged herself in embarrassment. He can feel the heat on her face up to her ears, grabbing the pillow from her to covered the exposed part.
"You're turning red, Bri. Oh! You're a naughty b***h, huh?" grinning wickedly, she stood up. "Tell me. You're hiding a guy, right? I do have lots of experiences, Bri. You can't lie on me."
"I do--don't have." Unconsciously, she glanced at the cabinet.
Is that where Kairen is hiding?
Chang followed her gaze, placing her phone down on the bed. She bagan walking towards her cabinet while she grabbed her immediately.
"Chang! I said I'm not hiding a guy."
No matter how much she pulled her, her hand still reached for the cabinet knob. She opened the cabinet and saw that there was nothing but clothes, making her to sigh in relief.
"Okay, fine. You got nothing if you got nothing. I'm leaving. You really don't want to go to the other dorm?"
She shook her head.
"Where's my phone?" asked Chang, searching for it on the bed. She picked up the blanket that had fallen on the floor when they pulled each other earlier. They heard a sound that something tumbled on the cold tiles. That is probably the phone.
Chang bent down to reach for it and it was too late for her to stop her friend. She thought that it was possible that the Kairen was under her bed, hiding.
She was frozen.
Chang stood quietly and faced her, crossing her arms on her chest.
"I wouldn't say I didn't see anything. Because there really is something. Oh! It's someone rather than something."
Kairen slowly came out from under the bed. He stood up and shook the dirt on his shirt.
"Who is this hot guy?" Chang asked in a whisper.
She sighed before answering. "He's the Ayasaki guy."
"Ayasaki? The one you said that you were arranged to?" The excitement in her voice was obvious.
"The one and only," the smirking young man replied.
"If his body is much bigger, I would date him. But no. I don't want this kind of looks. He's handsome. Why are you trying to run away?" she whispers again, then clears her throat. "I'll leave you two alone. Finish what you started. Enjoy!"
"No! You've got it all wrong!"
But the girl left the room and both of them.
She turned to Kairen and to her surprise, he was standing so close to her, making her to step back. She must have been fallen if Kairen did not caught her on her waist.
"She said, let's enjoy." naughtily, he said.
But she just pushed the p*****t guy with all her might.
"Tss! What enjoy are you talking about? Get out!"
He chuckled sexily in a deep voice while combing his hand through his messy hair.
"Don't worry. I don't date flat girls," he said.
"I'm not flat!"
"Well, you have a point there. Size thirty-two is not that bad but still small for my hand to cup."
Her eyes widened at what he just said. She just remembered that she wasn't wearing a bra.
"p*****t!" composing her explosion of anger from surfacing.
He opened the glass doorway and walked out to the balcony. He turned to her again and spoke.
"I'm leaving. Don't forget to pick up your things under your bed. The color and style is boring. You might want to change your taste. Ja ne, Bryan. [See you, Bryan]"
With a smirk on his face, he expertly descended from their balcony. She didn't bother to think how will the guy goes down. She bent on her knees, peeking under the bed.
She forgot that she kicked the bra earlier. And that's also where the guy hid.
Her hand slammed her own forehead when she saw her coffee-colored undergarment, lying peacefully on the dim floor. Kairen absolutely saw it. A p*****t just saw her undergarment.
Shit!
