Chapter 7: LeSnore's 7 Star Hotel
Trisha suddenly felt a terrifying sense of foreboding. How can her own best friend die?
Is she sick?
Trisha glared at Anna and grabbed her, emotions bursting from her, tears welling her eyes.
"Are you sick?"
Anna seem to be in tears too as she nodded. "Yes I am, but you do not have to panic."
Trisha was suddenly upset. She shouted angrily. "I should not panic? My best friend is going to die in six months and I really should not panic? You're too much Anna. You actually hid such an important information from me, I've never hidden anything from you Anna."
Anna seem to realize that this might be a big problem. Trisha is upset, and indeed, she actually deserved to know the truth. But the reality in it is that, knowing the truth would have shattered her and she did not want that to happen. However, if she had seemingly died and Trisha gets the news, wouldn't it have been as shattering as it is now?
"Listen, it's something my dad suffered from and I inherited it genetically. It is quite bad to have hit me as an only child, but this is the reality of life."
Trisha's anger transformed drastically into fear, anxiety and sadness. "Can't we do anything? I mean, a luxurious hospital? An expertise doctor? What are you suffering from exactly?"
Anna was silent, Trisha was frightened.
On one hand, she wished she hadn't figured out, but on the other hand, if Anna mysteriously dies, it would have been even more heart wrenching to her.
Anna glared at Trisha and said; "my sickness doesn't matter. You're my best friend and I plan to live a good life with you. I also wish to fulfill my dreams before I would die. These wishes includes getting a boyfriend and actually experiencing that feeling called love."
Trisha was immediately touched deeply.
She quickly pulled in for a heartwarming hug and Anna embraced her quietly in their deep spacious room.
The next morning, Anna was excited. She no longer felt pale or weak. She seem to have regained her normal color and her once dull face now exhibited a ting of brightness.
Trisha moved in her covers, and twisted her neck to an angle just to get a better look at Anna who was dressed in a fancy blue dress.
"To visit Mr handsome? LeSnore's hotel, isn't it a bit strange to be visiting a man in a hotel?"
Anna stared at Trisha. "What does it matter? He's my man after all. And he's everything I want of a man!"
Trisha stood up.
"What makes you want him so badly? What is that thing that actually pushes you closer to him?"
Anna's face immediately turned serious.
"He doesn't do love!"
The moment she uttered this statement, Trisha's expression changed.
Obviously, Anna did not want any man to fall in love with her. She also understood why she rejected so many guys that were interested in her or that came directly to confess their feelings.
If she dies all of a sudden, they'd feel the heart break and she did not want to be the reason a man would kill himself.
She understood.
Trisha quickly tried to lighten the atmosphere so that at least, she wouldn't keep remembering that her only best friend has less than six months left to leave. She smiled.
"Fine, let's apply some make up on that pretty face of yours."
Anna was suddenly excited. She wanted to really look fabulous for Carlos and she would do anything to make sure she is able to meet to his standards.
An hour later, they were done.
Anna realized that makeup was not an easy something, it felt heavy upon her face, the pomade, the eyeliner, the lipsticks. As long as she had applied it, she knew that she's added a bit of weight.
"Let me drop you off at LeSnore's." Trisha offered and they rushed down. However, they did not leave the house until they both had breakfast.
Trisha's mother had really been serious about eating at home before leaving. After a minute or two, both girls left the mansion and Trisha drove Anna to LeSnore's hotel.
The hotel was majestic, it towered almost 400 meters into the air and it's aura was so magnificent that it eluded all other auras, for example, Anna's insignificant aura.
She walked into the garage and saw his familiar vehicle. Quickly, she walked into the hotel's hall and met the hotel attendant. However, Carlos must have already set up everything because, she recognized Anna at a glance and gave her a particular room number and a set of keys.
"Mr Bill stepped out for a bit, he asked me to give you the keys so that you can rest in it for a bit."
Anna smiled as she grabbed the keys. She thanked the lady and went to locate room 306.
In room 306, she unlocked the room and entered, she suddenly froze as his unique scent waft into her nose. It lingered strongly in the air that she could not help but sniff the air as if she was one with the room and with his scent.
"Mhmmm, ahhh. He even smells so good!"
Anna paused, listened to her statement and laughed, comparing herself to those sluts that linger in hotel pavements, waiting for the next man to fall into their trap.
She looked around her and finally decided to sit down on the bed, her butt sinking into the soft mattress.
Whoa, it's even much softer than Trisha's bed...
He's actually so rich, I mean even his car can buy my family's property countless times.
But Anna knew that she wasn't here for his riches. What kind of wealth had she not enjoyed in Trisha's place? While this one is different, she could still testify that at least, she's enjoyed wealth for a bit and wealth isn't one of her problems at the moment.
She want to fall in love.
She wants to get married.
She wants her love to make some of her wishes come true.
Anna smiled, however her smile froze when the doorknob was turned and it was pushed open.
An incredibly handsome man stepped in, his movement steady, his gaze upon hers, and at the same time, he was shutting the door.
"You actually came."
Anna smiled. "You asked me to, I had to honor your invitation. And I also want to learn your own idea of experience."
He moved closer towards her and stood her up from the bed that their eyes glared at each other.
"You want to be my contracted girlfriend right?"
Anna nodded with so much determination.
"You want to learn of my own idea of experience?"
Anna raised her hands to her head shouting, "aye aye captain! I do."
Carlos eyes twitched. "Don't do that! However, I want to give you a test. You can only become my contract girlfriend if you pass my test."
Anna was in a sky high mood at the moment. Test? What test would she not pass? She's literally smart and could uncover any puzzle and figure out it's hidden content.
She hit her chest with defiance. "Tell me, I'll definitely pass your test."
His eyes locked on hers, and he muttered.
"Kiss me!"
Anna's body froze.
