Chapter 4

"V"

Violetta looked up from her phone and then at Vanessa. She grabbed the glass of water on the dinning table and took a sip from it.

They had just finished their dinner after Vanessa finished the whole Lasagna Violetta had prepared. She rounded the ceremony with making her plate clean and shiny with her tongue and saliva followed by a burp after drinking two glasses of water. Violetta still wondered how Vanessa managed to maintain her slim figure without getting fat. She continued drinking her water with this thought in mind.

"How does it feel to be in love?"

Violetta choked on her water and dropped the glass with a shaky hand while patting her chest. Her face turned a deep shade of red as she tried to calm down.

Vanessa hurriedly got up from her chair and ran towards Violetta. She rubbed her back and asked "Are you alright V?"

Violetta breathing was a bit ragged but she was okay at the moment. If this continues to go on she might die from Vanessa's questions and logic. It wasn't like she asked a question that made her seem guilty but this particular question took her unaware.

"Where is this coming from?" Violetta asked referring to the question being asked earlier.  Her pale face was still flushed red but it was not as serious as before.

Vanessa made sure her delicate roommate was okay and her situation was not life threatening before returning back to her seat. "I don't know. I just wanted to know how it feels to be in love, on cloud nine."

"And you thought asking me was a good choice?"

"Yes. I was thinking maybe you had or have experienced this crazy emotion called love." Vanessa was smiling widely and had a dreamy look in her eyes. She stared at the woman sitting across the table and a curious glint appeared in her eyes.

Violetta wondered how she would break the news to this curious baby. "Look Vanessa, I have never been in love before so I'm afraid to inform you that I have no answer to your question."

"So,  you haven't dated before?" Vanessa asked with the same curious gaze, never fading away. She was interested in knowing this woman. With her cold hearted personality it didn't come as a surprise when she heard that Violetta hasn't experienced love but if she did then it would be a massive shock.

"No." Violetta didn't understand why Vanessa was so interested in her love life as if she had one.

"What about a crush? Don't tell me you haven't had a crush?" Vanessa searched the blank woman's face for any clues but found none. Her face was expressionless.

"I'm guessing you already know the answer." Violetta answered.

Vanessa was stunned. Was there anyone in this world who didn't have a crush? A person that they like and dreamt of spending their whole life with?

"Where have you been?" Vanessa asked still stunned at the sudden reality.

Violetta frowned at the mixed expressions on Vanessa's face and sighed. It was better she leaves this place and go to her room. She wasn't ready for Vanessa's questioning.

"I think I'll be heading to bed now. A little bit tired from the day's activities." Violetta got up and grabbed her phone and said a quick goodnight to Vanessa.

"Wait!"

Shocked, Violetta stepped in her tracks and turned around to look at Vanessa.

Vanessa walked towards Violetta and hugged her before giving her a kiss on her cheek. "Nighty!"

Violetta could only smile and return to her room. She wasn't used to this ritual of Vanessa kissing her cheek everytime she went to bed. She felt awkward and like a child who's mother kissed her goodnight.

Opening her door she entered her room and locked the door behind her. She stood with her fair hands on her hips and her eyes glaring at the bed covered in pink. If she had known she wouldn't have told Vanessa to buy her the bed sheet if she knew the stubborn girl was going to buy pink when she clearly told her grey or black. Now all her bed sheets were either plain baby pink or pink with white strips. Heading towards the bed she sat on it and grabbed her laptop she kept under the bed. Typing in her password she decided to check her emails and browse the net.

Ring! Ring!!

Answering her phone she said in a cold voice "What do you want?"

"Seriously is that how you greet your elder?" The person on the other side huffed in annoyance.

"Say what you want I'm busy." Violetta stated still looking at her screen.

"Kill joy. How's the search?"

"Difficult."

"No clue?" The person asked.

"Not yet. Marco is kind of smart but not too smart. Leaving no traces but so many errors." Violetta stated with a frown. This guy is really stupid to think he kind hide from me.

" The guy thinks he's flawless and can't be touched. I can't wait till I get my hands on him." The other person said with anger.

"You'll have to wait a little longer for that. Once I find him he is mine but after I'm done with him you can play with him however you wish." Violetta kept her laptop on the bed and got up. She topped by the dressing table and grabbed the bottle of wine while supporting her phone with her shoulders.

"I know. That's the reason you agreed to help in the first place knowing your attitude you wouldn't help except if it was beneficial."

"That's right." Violetta agreed and turned a little wine into a glass and closed the bottle before grabbing the glass and taking a sip. She was a lover of good wine and coffee.

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?" Violetta asked, twirling the contents inside the glass. She walked towards her window and stared at the world outside. The apartment was a little bit far away from the hustling and bustling of the city making the place calm and peaceful just the way she likes it.
