I couldn’t possibly tell Nicole and Trevor what exactly happened when I was speaking to Miranda. It would probably make them curse me.
“So, we just have to destroy that?” Trevor asked, pointing to a box shaped metal that is placed in our attic.
“Yes, once it is destroyed, we can open the portal to Earth,” I said. But the box is quite unbreakable if you look at it.
“This device is also fixing everything, making our little world ‘perfect’.” I faced both my housemates.
Nicole just kept on analyzing the looks of the box shaped metal.
“It’s not going to destroy itself, let’s do it,” Nicole said and pulled out her hammer.
“To finally see our families again,” Trevor said and together we kept on destroying the metal box. It was really hard. If I didn’t know what it was, we would think it was just a plain metal because of its hard texture.
Normal people would think that we are crazy for trying to escape a paradise. Yes, for them this world is paradise. Not only people don’t age, everything is legal, food is for free and so is houses and school. We also don’t die. Every time I tried to shoot myself with a gun, the bullet would leave my body and my body would repair itself in just seconds. It was incredible, yes but I have a family that was left on earth. I was the first born of my family and I feel selfish for being here I missed caring for them.
And besides, I’ll probably go bored. I mean, we don’t die, there are no problems to fix, no corrupt government. So, it’s perfect, too perfect.
My day dream came to an end when a knock was heard from our door. Our eyes widened and immediately left the attic with our tools. I tried arranging Trevor’s messy hair, and Nicole’s and mine. Not to be suspicious, whoever the hell is our visitor.
After cleaning the dust in our pants and shirts, I put on a jacket and opened our door.
“To what do we owe this pleasure, Ms President,” Jaw clenched I greeted Miranda and nodded my head on her men in black.
Miranda smiled seductively and looked me up and down. “Go,” she whispered to her men in black, and half of them disappeared for her demand. Unfortunately those men were ordered to enter our house. My eyes followed their movements. They were going upstairs. Suddenly I felt cold. Trevor and Nicole showed panic in their eyes. I wanted to remain cool, but I couldn’t.
My gaze went to the President, the 34 years old woman who told me she took me from earth because she liked me. I felt awkward when I found her looking at me already. I lowered gaze but unfortunately landed on her breast, apparently she noticed and shook her head while a smirk is playing on her red full lips. I panicked and just looked elsewhere.
I could never deny I was attracted to her.
‘Too bad, darling, your actions speaks otherwise’
Her words played clearly in my head.
“May we know the reason for your sudden visit?” Nicole asked Miranda with full respect. Although the last time they spoke, Nicole was blowing with anger. Maybe, fear passed her.
“You will know very soon,” Miranda said in full authority.
I still didn’t pay her a look. “Why don’t you take a seat, Ms President,” Trevor offered.
“No thank you, the last time I checked, you were mad, what did Ms. Amerie said to you both to make you act like this?” Surprised at the politeness of my two friends, Miranda noticed. Her eyes playfully landed to me. The moment it did, I looked away.
“We realized it was not a rational move, Ms. President,” Nicole said when she realized I was not going to talk.
Before Miranda could respond, the men she ordered awhile ago returned holding the metal box. I could feel the hammering of my chest. My hands are cold as ice. They found out. Nicole, Trevor and I exchanged looks.
“So this is the rational move you are talking about?” Anger was heard in our Presidents voice. And for the first time, I was scared of her.
“We just want to go home,” With a small voice, I said, hoping that my so-called defeated voice would make her pity us and send us home. ‘Cause that always works with my father; I used my pitiful voice when I was asking something from him. But swear they were reasonable things
“It’s time you all accept that this world is your new home because no one will ever leave this place, not ever.” Voice hard as rock, the President said.
We all looked down, our plan f*****g failed. I felt all my hopes went down. I wanted to cry, so hard. I wanted to mourn. With someone like Miranda, I bet I’d never see my family, ever again. But since we don’t f*****g die, I will do my very best with my next attempt. I promise I will.
“Amerie, Highness C., Davidson, Trevor L., and Drayton, Nicole Savannah J. you have broke the Clonix Code 231, as for your punishment—“ I looked up and found Counsellor Featherspoon speaking. Miranda must have left when we were busy looking down.
“Wait, punishment?!” Trevor freaked out. Even Nicole and I was also shocked.
“Do not worry, you will only be living separately,”
“What?!” Now it was my time to freak out.
“Ms. Amerie, you will be living in a condo in the One Five Co., Mr. Davidson will be living in a condo in the Six Twelve Co. and Ms. Drayton will be living also in a condominium in the Seven Fourteen Co.,”
“But—“
“Would you rather be jailed? Kids, you have to understand that you broke a code, you are lucky that the President gave you a light punishment,”
Wait, does that mean, we’re not the only one who broke a code?
“What do you want?” I asked when I found Miranda in my door. And yes, Nicole, Trevor and I are apart already. It was horrible. But the condo looks amazing so I also kind of loved it. It’s just depressing that I live alone, making miss my family more.
“Is that how you greet your President Ms. Amerie?” The President entered my condo, and locked the door behind her. Black wavy hair, red full lips, dark eyes. I don’t know why she’s here.
I rolled my eyes but went to her lips. It’s been a few days ever since I got to kiss those lips. I shivered just at that thought. I shouldn’t think about that. It’s tempting but this female is a devil.
“Are you comfortable living in this condominium, Highness?” Miranda asked.
It was the first time she actually called me by my name. And hell it was a turn on. Like what the hell?!
“Yes, “ I shrugged and looked at the glass wall. For a minute I thought I was alone until I looked up and saw the President looking at me, to my lips to be precise.
She smirked and walked towards me, I panicked and ended up leaning against the wall. She smiled seductively and closed the space between us.
“What are you doing?” I whispered. Looking directly in her eyes, but it was too much. I was too intimidated. I looked down her lips. They were open and ready to be kissed. If she was a normal person I would’ve attacked her lips already, but she’s not, she’s the President but still it made me want her, made me even want her more.
“What do you want me to do, Highness?” She spoke seductively, slowly licking her lips, very much aware that I was following her lips’ movements. Her breath was tickling my lips.
I gulped. The pressure between my legs is heightening. If I don’t stop this now, I will surely regret it afterwards.
“We can’t do this,” I said. Miranda just smirked and then wedged herself between my legs. God I think I’m wet. “Fuck.” I cussed. As if triggering something in her, Miranda kissed me torridly with an open mouth. It was dirty and so wet. I felt our tongues fought, I don’t even know why I’m responding. Holding both sides of my face, Miranda’s tongue managed to win the battle and pressed her body harder on me. I moaned when she pressed her legs hard between mine. The feeling of her breast pressed on mine added pressure between my legs.
Not thinking clearly, I thrusted myself on her. Noticing it, Miranda laughed. Separating our lips, she spoke “Why can’t we do this? Ms. Amerie?”
My eyes were still hazy and waited until my vision is clear. She laughed once again. I couldn’t even answer her question. I was still high from the sensation, when she started licking my neck. Then before I even noticed, my clothes are being ripped off.
“Where’s your bed?”
