AKOSIIBARRA STORIES' FANFICTIONS

Snowball (LoreThor)

I. — Snowball

It's a cold day in Paris, France. The Execom members with Sir Jim Morayta decided to spend their vacation here and celebrate Valentine's Day at the same time. 

"Ali, akyat tayo ng Eiffel Tower mamayang gabi, ah?" Jamie exclaimed as she pointed at the topmost part of the Tower. Alistair held her hand and smiled sweetly.

"Of course," he said. "let's not forget to invite the others if they want to tag along."

Loki, being the usual man he is, immediately declined the offer. He'd rather stay inside the room than exhaust himself by climbing the tower. Besides, it's not like he came here to enjoy the scenery from above. They went to Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel, the hotel where they're staying for the rest of their February vacation. They rode the elevator and it dropped them at the topmost floor, where from above, they could see the famous Eiffel Tower. Such picturesque sight should not be kept waiting, right?

Before going to the famous tourist spot, they decided to grab lunch downstairs and stroll the grounds outside of the hotel. 

"Sorry, guys," Lorelei said when they reached the exit of the hotel. "I need to write in my blog. I don't want my readers to wait. Mas excited pa yata sila kaysa sa'kin, eh. I'll catch up!"

She went back to the hotel room, grabbed her laptop, and began pressing the keys.

The City of Love, Paris, France, was the place we decided to explore. Its theme, flashing lights, and romantic sceneries were perfect for Valentine's Day...|

Lorelei noticed that the internet connection suddenly slowed down. It must be because she's a bit far from the server? She decided to go downstairs to the Cafe to finish her blog. She sat at the window side and opened it for the fresh and cool air to enter. The air conditioners were turned off because of the cold season.

She was peacefully typing her new blog when all of a sudden, a hard object hit her directly in the head. She turned to her right and saw the eldest Mendez's shocked face. He ran towards the window and reached his hand to hold Lorelei's head.

"A-Are you okay? Did it hurt?" he asked, worried.

"Hindi naman masyado, Lulu." Lorelei held Luthor's hand and squeezed it so tight that it made Luthor wince. "Why did you hit me with a snowball, darling?"

Luthor's ears turned red. "I-I thought there was a glass. I wanted to get your attention by hitting the window, but it turns out, you opened it. Natamaan tuloy kita."

"Why do you want to get my attention?" 

"I want to have a snowball fight. What's the use of hanging out with the others if you're not there?"

"Wait for me here. I'll be right back."

Lorelei saved her work, closed her laptop, and brought it back to the room. She wrapped two scarfs around her neck, wore gloves and a jacket, then went downstairs. Luthor was there, leaning on the entrance door while waiting for her. His tall figure towered over most of the guests that passed by him. When Lorelei called his name, his bored face brightened up as they walked side by side and went towards a pile of snow.

"Teka! HA-HA-HA! Luthor, ang dami naman niyan!" 

Lorelei tried to shield herself from the continuous snowballs that are hitting her. Luthor enjoyed seeing Lorelei laughing out loud as she was enjoying the fight. Suddenly, three snowballs hit Lorelei's head and she fell. 

"Lori!" Luthor yelled as he approached her. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Darling, does it hurt? Do you feel like crying? Tell me—"

"I-I'm fine, Lulu," Lorelei assured him as she got up. Luthor hugged Lorelei and caressed her hair. 

"Thank goodness..." Luthor heaved a sigh of relief. 

"A-Actually, medyo masakit pa rin," Lorelei said and smiled sheepishly. Luthor kissed her head, down to her forehead, her cheeks, her nose, and her lips. 

"Does it still hurt, darling? Tell me, I'll kiss it."
