I Can't Let You Go

India

"As I see... three rooms. Two at the rooftop and... one... one at the other floor a bit further." the receptionist told them when they arrived at the hotel. 
"Two is more than enough," Rose stated.
"No." Kit raised his voice. "We are here to find our inner peace, aren't we? So... " he turned back to the kind receptionist "So we need the three rooms. The one which is not in the rooftop fine for me." he smiled at her with his best smile and leaned closer through the counter. The girl's cheek went red, and Emilia tried to hold back her giggle. Kit and his charm. It always works. Or at least in most cases. Rose grabbed his arm and pulled him back. 
"I have no idea how can I survive the nights without you." Rose placed her head to his shoulder. 
"Oh, I am sure you will." Kit pulled out his arms from her grip and turned back to the receptionist. He literally ignored Rose and treated her like garbage. Emilia knew this won't be good... not for their future, even if she enjoyed the situation at that moment. 
"Thanks... ahm..." Kit was staring the woman behind the counter.
"Amita. If you need anything. Just call the reception and..." she was so helpful and kind. Of course with Kit. She just placed the two other door cards in front of the girls. "And oh... I work here as a massage therapist too, if you want to you can book an appointment for tomorrow." she continued, and she clearly got excited. Em tried to not say a word, but she did not like the situation either.
"I'll think about it." Kit answered and grabbed his bag. He turned to leave but Rose was right next to him.
"So you're gonna do this? All-time long? Being an asshole?" she asked him frantically. 
"If I am that asshole, why do you insist on me that much?" Kit turned to her and frowned.
"I know what are you doing, and it won't work." Rose made a face. 
"It won't?" Kit raised his eyebrow.
"Would you please stop this shit?" Emilia couldn't remain in silence anymore. She stepped in front of them and shook her head. "You are unbearable. Both of you. Just... don't talk with each other. It would be better. If we have to be here... I ... you know what? I am going to enjoy it and you won't ruin it." she rolled her eyes. "I've told you, it was not a good idea to join us." she shook her head meanwhile she was looking at Kit's face and then she turned her back at them and walked away.
"If you wanted this to work in this way. It worked." Rose laughed about Kit and left him there in the hall.

A couple of hours passed, and Emilia spent those in her room. Alone. She packed her clothes to the cabinet and went to the balcony. She took a deep breath. Even the air was different there, and somehow it penetrated with tranquility and peace. Maybe this place really have some spiritual power and this is not just a legend. There were the Himalayas in front of her. This place was breathtaking in every way. The flowers, the trees, the whole nature was so unique and she could have sworn she felt the power of it. Maybe that was not a bad idea, to come here and be away from the city and their crazy life. Sure her crazy life was there too, but maybe this place will have a good effect on Rose. Someone knocked on her door. She took a deep breath and walked there to open it. 
"What are you doing here?" She frowned when she saw Kit standing at her door. 
"Can I come in?"
"I don't think it is a good idea." Em held the door in her hands.
"She is away. Don't worry. She won't come back in the next two hours." Kit stepped closer, and Emilia was looking at him questioningly. "I made sure she had a program right now. And she thinks we also have the same pastime. The flirt with the receptionist... it seems it worth it." he smiled a bit and Em stepped away. He walked inside and closed the door behind him. "She'll have a whole-body massage, so... " Kit sighed. 
"Still don't think a good idea... to spend your time in my room." Emilia sat to her bed. "I mean I am glad you are here just... you know ... "
"I know." he sat next to her and placed his arms around her. Kissed her forehead. Em leaned to his chest and he was squeezing her hand. Caressed it with his finger. 
"I did not want to shout with you," Emilia stated. "I just... I don't want to hear this continuously. How you...argue with each other. It does not have a good effect on you and we both know it." she continued so quietly. 
"I just I've... I've lost my patience with her." Kit took a deep breath "I can't stand when she is near. I..."
"But you have to." Emilia raised her eyes at him. "You've chosen to come with us. You wanted it. Not me. That means you have to ... bear her. No matter what you want." they were looking at the eyes of each other. Kit smiled a bit and leaned closer to kiss her. Their lips met, and that innocent little kiss, became deeper in a second and by the time she noticed, they were lying on the bed and making out.
