We Found Love

ACT 15

ACT 15

Half past seven o'clock in the morning and the hotel's dining area was already accommodating a handful of people, who had decided to acquire their food on their own instead of ordering the room service they could have easily called and asked for. Some were chattering among themselves in moderate volumes, while some were simply and quietly eating the plate of food before them.

The magenta-haired siren that sat alone at one of the tables can be classified under the latter, for she was wordlessly nursing the cup of coffee and the food she had taken from the buffet-like serving area of the mess hall. Her lips would curve every now and then out of satisfaction at the taste of the smoked salmon eggs benedict she was savouring, taking small portions with the fork she was holding.

"Good morning, miss." A man that looks quite well-dressed and could be considered a great find for women greeted her with a smile that aimed to charm her. "May I join you?"

A scoff was held back, but the act of rolling her eyes was not. Even if it was only the beginning of the day, Evelynn was getting rather exhausted from the number of men that had approached her for the past thirty minutes and asked her if they could keep her company. Apparently, having a completely vacant chair with her was coming off as an invitation to some of the people around her.

For the seventh time, Evelynn raised her head, offered that dazzling smile of hers and said ever so straightforwardly, "No, you may not."

And just like how she handled the past six men she gave that reply to, Evelynn lowered her head back to her phone, which she held with her other hand, and refocused her whole attention to whatever it was her screen was displaying. She kept her eyes stuck on the gadget until the man took the hint, gave up and finally left her alone.

Once she was back to referring to her meal as a quiet and unbothered breakfast, Evelynn closed the 'Messages' application and surveyed the wallpaper she had set up recently. The pic before her had been on her mind since the moment she had received it last night from a certain freestyler.

If ever Akali decided to claim that she had trouble sleeping the previous evening, then Evelynn would openly confess that she herself had more difficulty in acquiring a grasp of slumber than the rapper. How could she sleep if all she could think about was the woman in the current image occupying her cellphone's home screen?

Evelynn wanted Akali to be there with her. She wanted to hug the other artist and kiss her all over, especially around her neck since Akali seemed to be awfully reactive to that. Just the thought of younger woman was making her feel a bit forlorn.

"What are you doing right now, Rogue?" She whispered to herself as she lightly tapped on the side of her phone while she continued admiring the picture.

Like what Evelynn asked, what was Akali doing right now?

Humming a cheerful tune while leaning on the kitchen island, Akali poked at her bowl of spicy ramyun with a pair of chopsticks before smiling to herself and started slurping down the noodles.

It was considered vastly early in her opinion yet she was already awake and was so ready to start her day. Last night, she had one of the greatest dreams she had ever experienced in her entire life and she was massively sure she had nothing to thank but the call she had with Evelynn.

She dreamt about her and Evelynn going out on a date together and in the middle of it all, they both saw a replica of the diva's gold claws in a display case of a jewelry shop. Akali had bought it immediately and was rewarded with a big hug and a very passionate kiss from the siren, who she gave the described accessories to.
