Purple Romance

Back at her room, Paula sat on her bed and her mind went to the lady that was sitting with Andy. She didn't know why but she suddenly felt insecure about herself looking at the woman. She seemed perfect and beautiful.

''Is that the type of women he liked? A perfect slender beautiful woman'' she sighed and laid on the bed. She and Lisa has been friends for a long time and she had never felt insecure around her because the latter was always praising her, boasting her confidence and telling her how she was beautiful in her own way. Paula never thought that as soon as she was outside of Lisa's circle, another woman would make her feel so unconfident in herself.

She sighed and removed her phone and started playing her games.

At the restaurant, Andy hurriedly finished his food and said to his father, ''father, I have to go back to the office and finish some work''

''Are you sleeping here in the hotel tonight?'' his father asked.

''Yes, you are spending the night here, right? Before you leave for the city tomorrow'' Andy asked his father. He wanted to make arrangement for him.

''Yes, I will spend the night here before I go to the city tomorrow''

''I am sleeping here too'' Betty said and Andy nodded his head.

''I will make arrangement for that as well''

''If there are no rooms, I can just sleep in your room'' Betty said and Andy frowned.

'There are enough rooms for everybody. A lot of the tourist that came are married couples so they are not occupying a lot of rooms'' he said to her and walked away.

'Betty, I know you like Andy and I'm also trying my best to make sure you two are engaged, but before that you should learn to restrain yourself. Men don't like anything they didn't work hard for'' Thomas Bassey said to Betty and she flushed.

...

Andy yawned and looked at the wall clock. He had worked till almost midnight. He took his phone and looked at it, ''I wonder what she is doing by now? It's late, she would definitely be asleep'' he restrained himself from calling her and closed the file on the table and the desktop before standing up to go.

Paula's room.

After searching for her hair net for a while, she finally found it and exclaimed, ''there you are'' using it to cover her hair, she pulled the band to fit the net around her head before jumping into the bed, ''whoa. Such a soft bed''

Andy's room.

When Andy arrived, he started removing his shirt and stopped halfway after seeing the difference in the room. It was different from how he left it, so he went closer and saw Betty lighting the candles in the table. she had also spread red rose petals on the bed.

''Betty, what are you doing in my room?'' Andy asked as he looked at her. when she stood up, he realised she had worn just a thin nightgown that was also quite transparent. He felt the veins on his body almost popping out in anger.

''Andy, come to me'' Betty said sensually. Her voice unusually seductive as she walked closer to him but he stopped her midway with his hand.

''Stop there. what are you doing in my room?'' Andy asked again.

''I couldn't sleep alone; I was scared so I came here. Your bed is soft'' she said and licked her lips as she looked at him. Her actions were extremely seductive and if it were any man, he would have fallen for her by now, but he wasn't just anyone. He was Andy and he had been in such a situations countless times no thanks to his brother. Right at that moment, he felt grateful for all the times that Leslie had trapped him inside a room with a woman. He had learnt to still reason with his head even with a naked woman in his presence. The only woman who would probably make him lose control is…

Andy suddenly found himself thinking about another woman. A woman who tripped and fell on him earlier that day and made him feel all heated up.

Betty took the opportunity when she saw that he was lost in thought. She thought that he was probably waiting for her to take the first step and she did. She reached forth and touched his chest saying,''Andy, uncle is planning to get us engaged very soon. I have always had feelings for you and ….''

Andy pushed her away and stepped aside, he looked at her with a cold gaze saying, ''I don't like you and I won't ever do so stop trying to get my father to get us engaged. Go to your room, I am tired and want to rest''

''No, Andy. I can't go to my room. I don't want to sleep alone'' she answered and tried to go near him again and he stepped aside.

''Okay, sleep here then and do have a good night rest. I hope you forget of this sill thought by tomorrow morning'' he turned to go and she hugged his back tightly.

''Where are you going? Don't go, I promise I won't try anything funny. I just want to sleep next to you, Andy'' she pleaded.

''Good night'' he untangled her from himself and got to the door.

''Why is it so hard for you to like me? I won't give up on you that easily'' she screamed after the door was closed.

Andy sighed and looked at his phone. He wanted to call Max and decided against it. He must be sleeping; he didn't want to wake him up. The latter might even tease him. A crazy idea crept into his mind and he smiled. Despite knowing how crazy it seemed, he still went ahead to do it. He went to the reception and took the tourist list and skimmed through. When his eyes fell on the name and room number, he smirked and placed the book back before going over.

Paula's room.

Paula walked out of the washroom after showering and changing into her green Pokémon pyjamas. She was about to sleep when she heard a knock on the door. At first she wanted to ignore it but the person didn't stop so she went to open it.

''You finally opened'' Andy said and walked out. He had made up his mind to act shamelessly till the end.

''Andy? What are you doing here?''

''I'm sleeping here tonight'' Andy said decisively and Paula looked at him.

''Are you sick? How can you sleep here? This is my room'' she looked at him and felt that he was either possessed or sick in the head to be acting that way towards her.

''I'm not sick. It is just for tonight''

''No, don't you have a room? What is wrong with your room?'' she looked at him and covered her chest with her hands saying, 'wait, did I mistakenly made friends with a pervert? If you don't leave her, I will scream and walk everybody up''

''First, I am not a pervert and you in your Pokémon pyjamas isn't exactly enticing enough to me and lastly, I can't go back to my room because it has been taken over by an intruder''

''I don't care. Go back to your room. Better still, check into another room. You are the owner of this place, don't tell me you can't let your numerous workers to arrange for a room for you? Also, what is wrong with my pyjamas? They are comfortable''

''All the workers are sleeping. It is not right for me to wake them up at this night and then ask for a room''

''Is not right? Let me tell you; coming into my room at half past 11 in the night is what is not proper okay? How can you come to my room because someone took over your room?''

''Paula, it is just for tonight''

'No. besides, how can a man and a woman sleep in the same room when they are not lovers? I don't want people to misunderstand me''

''Hey, are you scared people will misunderstand you or you are afraid something would happen between us?'' he moved closer to her and she pushed him away.

''You are really crazy. What could possibly happen between us?'' she asked and her face turned red.

''You are right. That's why is safer to sleep here'' he concluded.

''No!!''

''What are you scared off? If anything, I'm the one putting myself at risk here''

''What?''

''After all, I am a beautiful man'' he said, referring to what she said at the cinema. ''What if you do something to me?''

Paula coughed and looked away, 'you are the CEO of this place. What can I possibly do to you?''

''Relax Paula, I'm tired and I feel sleepy so let's argue tomorrow'' he said and started removing his shirt and she screamed at him.

''You… you, what do you think you are doing? Don't think that you are allowed to do anything just because this place belongs to you, okay? I might be plump but I am very strong''
