ENCHANTED

ANNTONIA'S POV

I was awoken when i heard mumbling from the distance.

"Hi bitch!" I chuckled when Caroline spoke.

Her mouth never ceases when she speaks that's why i love her.

We became friends when i studied in Barcelona. We were roommates and we clicked as soon as we discovered that we almost have the same energy.

She has a curly bronze hair, a grey eyes and almost tall as me.

I invited them to go with us since she was planning to visit Thailand.

"Where's Evan?" I asked when she lie down on the bed beside me.

"He's with Irfan at the pool." She answerd and suddenly sat up on the bed while looking at me intently.

"Now tell me, how did your name linked to a dropped dead gorgeous lesbian and the most famous business tycoon in the world?" I raised my eyebrow as i thought the topic had already been drop.

"How did you know about it?" I asked her curiously.

"You didn't know? Oh my God Ann! It has been on the Europen news. Your name was on the tv with that hot lesbian." She blurted out making me to widen my eyes in shock.

"Now tell me, how on earth the two of you knew each other?" She asked again.

I heaved a deep sighed before answering all of her questions.

I would answer her or she won't stop until she get the answer.

She's one of the most persistent human being on earth.

"Okay, first, i've only known her only her name. And second, the news were all faked. Third, she's one of the major sponsors of the Miss Universe in El Salvador that's why i have to come known her. Satisfied?" As soon as i finished talking, she stared at me without blinking like she was still waiting for another statement but i only shrugged and stood up.

"Don't you know that she's here in this hotel?" I immediately come to a halt when i heard her.

My body stiffened and my heartbeat stopped for God knows how long.

And when my senses gets back, i turned around and smiled at her.

"So what Car? We know nothing but a mere acquaintances." I blurted out and  went to the bathroom.

As soon as i entered and walked to the mirror, i felt my body shaking uncontrollably.

I felt my tears blinding my eyes as i stared my reflection in the mirror.

I felt like my oxygen is slowly leaving my chest.

If only i could take the pain away, i will.

I hate to see me like this and it's because of her, the person whom i deprive and hate so much.

The tears of pain, anger, hurt and all the negative emotions kept coming incessantly from my eyes.

My heart is breaking apart over and over again.

I quickly took a shower when Caroline knocked on the door asking me if i was okay.

"Coming babe." I said when a bit of my horse voice.

Hours later, we both went to the pool where Irfan and Evan were having a drink.

"Hey Miss Universe." I smiled and hugged Evan as soon we reached their table.

"How are you?" He asked as i settled beside Irfan.

"I'm fine thank you. And how are you? You've finally grown up." I uttered and Caroline bursted out laughing.

We all knew that Evan is a joker among us and never had a serious relationship as he always told us that love isn't for him and love to always roam around with random women in the campus.

I only knew the news that Caroline and him are dating when one of our friends informed me.

After few minutes later, my parents, my brother and his friends joined us, making jokes like dad always do everytime there are youngsters with him.

"Tomorrow will be having a tour around the island." Mom casually said while Chris excitedly exclaimed at what he heard.

Of course, he's one of the most known person who loves to wander.

"And it's from the hotel yacht. The manager informed me earlier that the owner of the hotel was happy knowing that you, Ann is staying in the Hotel. So she gave us the privelege to tour the island in one of her yacht tomorrow." Upon hearing the word owner, my head snapped at my mom's direction.

So, Caroline was not bluffing, that Hans Koch is here.

You've got to be fucking kidding me!

I thought she's in Bangkok.

Why is she here?"

Of course, she owns this hotel, Ann. - my conscience reminded me.

"I don't feel like going tomorrow mom. I'll just stay here." I objected and all of them looked at me like i have grown two heads.

"What?" I snapped out.

"You're kidding right? I thought we're on a vacation?" Caroline raises her brows while glaring at me.

"Yes. But i wanted to sleep more." I said and sipped my wine.

"Jesus Christ Anntonia. You've been sleeping the whole day and you wanted more?" I didn't say a word at Caroline whining while the other laughed at her.

If she says my full name, does it mean, she's beyond pissed.

"Okay, okay, i'm coming." I finally surrendered and even raised my two hands in front of her.

"Tha's what i'm talking about." She said and poked my waist causing me to laugh.

"Excuse me, i'll just have to take to the bathroom." I said and stood up.

"I'm coming with you babe." Irfan was about to follow me but i stopped him and let him enjoy himself with them.

A soon as i entered the labby of the hotel, i saw a tall woman with a blonde hair talking to a receptionist while laughing.

She's beautiful as i can compare her to my friend Moraya Wilson but she's taller than Moraya.

She only wears a two piece swimsuit and in barefoot.

And when her eyes landed in my direction, she smiled and then marched towards me.

I looked behind my back thinking that maybe someone behind me who she was about to  approach.

But then, i was surprised and halted from walking when she stopped in front of me still smiling.

"Hello, it is nice to finally meet you." My mouth hung opened while looking at her extended hand.

And when i recovered, i shyly shook her hand and smiled at her even though i have no memories of her but looking at her cerulean blue eyes, it reminded me of someone whom i couldn't decipher.

"I've been hearing a lot about you." I furrowed my eyebrows at her statement.

Who is this woman?

"Oh i'm sorry, my manner. By the way, i'm Avery." She introduced herself as she also dragged me to the couch.

We sat on the couch as her eyes still glued at me.

"No wonder, why that bastard keeps on blabbering a lot about you. Look, you are so pretty and witty." She said while i was still in confusion, trying to figure out if where did i meet her.

"How did you know me?" I finally got my tongue back and asked her.

She was about to answer my question when a familiar figure stopped at the distance, panting heavily but widened when our eyes met.

For the love of all fucking minions!
