Chapter 24: And Then There Was Two.

"Boom...boom...boom."

That is all Loni's felt. Feels like she been hitting her head on the wall, so many times. Loni couldn't remember anything from last night. All she remembered, was when she woke up. Loni saw her eyes give out a blurred look for slight bit. Then she saw a dizzy door, as someone came.

"The princess is finally awake." Reo smiled as he noticed Loni awake.

Loni quickly rubbed her eyes and opened them again. "What happened last night?" Loni questioned.

"Well somebody, had too many drinks last night." Reo got closer to Loni and stood on her bed.

Loni felt a warm embraced around her. To her surprise, it was Reo hugging her. Loni tried getting out the hug, but of course, the hug felt tighter.

"Come on." Reo suddenly grabbed Loni's hand and walked her out her room. A light, buttery smell of breakfast attracted Loni. As she walked to the dinner table, rows and rows of brunch and breakfast.

"You didn't have to make all this." Loni looked guiltily at the maid.

"You need to eat. Your immune system is weak. I can tell." Reo pulled out a chair and made Loni sit.

"And that's coming from a business person." Loni scoffed.

After eating a reasonable amount of food, Loni went back to her room and changed. Loni decided that she wanted to make dinner for everyone, in repaying for the maid.

"Where are you going?" Reo noticed Loni slipping on her shoes.

"To get some stuff for dinner. I'm cooking tonight." Loni winked.

"Let me go with you." Reo insisted.

"Nope! Just stay here. I'll be fine, don't worry." Loni pushed back Reo and headed out the door.

After coming back from the market, Loni walked into the kitchen. She noticed a full table to food. Ranging from appetizers then dinner.

"Reo, what the hell?!" Loni dropped the bags of groceries.

"You should of let me come with you the market." Reo happily ate his steak.

Across from Reo was Haiku also eating. "Hey Loni." Haiku smiled warmly.

Frustrated, Loni walked up to her room, and prepared her shower.

Loni felt the hot, running water on her. She did her normal showering and changed into a nightgown. Being angry, Loni didn't have the appetite to even eat. "Why is he so overprotective?" Loni thought over and over again. Loni went back to her nurse studies and put on her reading glasses.

Meanwhile, Reo and Haiku stood at the table, with plates and utensils clinking. Suddenly, Reo stood up and got his keys.

"Where you going?" Haiku asked.

"I'm going get her favorite food." Reo answered back.

The keyboard of Loni's laptop was pressured. Loni couldn't stop rethinking the moment of how Reo angered her. Feeling something wrapped behind her, Loni immediately was paralyzed.

"Reo, if this is your way of apologizing-" Loni turned around to see Haiku embracing her.

"Stop smelling like this." Haiku laid his head on Loni.

"W-why?" Loni trying to move.

"It makes it feel like you are seducing me." Haiku smirked.

Loni quickly got off her bed and ran to the door. The door closed, as Loni opened it a slight bit.

"You know Loni. You're the first girl who stood up to Reo." Haiku pinned Loni against the wall, "usually, girls don't even dare to be angry at Reo."

Haiku suddenly picked up Loni and placed her on the bed. He took off her reading glasses, and stared into Loni eyes.

"You're just a little interesting girl, aren't you." Haiku went closer to Loni's lips...
