Purple Romance

Chapter 266: Suddenly apart 2

''What are you talking about? Did he do something to you? Tell me, I don't care that his brother is the best sex toy I've ever had, I will still smack his head and kick his balls if he did something to you. You know I love you more than myself, right?''

''He didn't do anything to me. I just, I don't know. It feels weird being his friend''

''You see him as a man, right? Way to go, Paula. Your eyes are finally looking at the right thing. But, why are you suddenly saying you and him are over? How can it be over before it even began?''

''I know, right? It ended even before it started'' Paula sighed and sat down, she narrated what happened to Lisa and the latter had a suspicious glint in her gaze.

''Paula, there is so much sexual tension between the two of you'' Lisa said excitedly.

''Assh, stop messing around Lise''

''I am not joking with you, Paula. Everything happening between you and him is prove that the chemistry between you two is explosive. If you ever get to kiss him, you two might end up going all the way to the real deal. Oh my God, P. I can't wait for that day to come''

Paula touched her head. She was beginning to get a headache just from listening to her best friend. She wondered if best friends were all like this in the world or she was the only one who had the shorter end of the stick.

''I'm going to the Coastal Region''

''Huh? What are you going to do there? Paula, don't tell me you are going to commit suicide in the sea where no one will be able to find your body?''

''I'm going on a trip. Hotel Senora is organising a trip to the Coastal Region for a few days and I paid for it. I want to go and clear my head. I want time alone to myself to figure out my next step in life. I will come back after I figure out what to do next''

''Will you be okay by yourself? I can go with you if you want me to. You know you don't have to deal with this alone''

''I will be fine, Lisa. Don't worry, I promise to take good care of myself, I just want to be away from all that has happened and when I return I will be the Paula you know ok?''

''But, P''

''No buts. I will be fine so you just take care of yourself and worry less about me. help me pack'' Paula pulled Lisa up from the bed.

''Wait, let me bring you something'' Lisa rushed out of the room. She returned after a short while with a strawberry box.

''What is this?''

''Take it, it might come in handy'' Lisa stuffed the box into the luggage bag.

''Why are you giving me toffees?''

''This isn't just ordinary toffees. They come in different flavour and sizes. Who knows, you might want to try it out while you are there''

''What kind of toffee is this?'' Paula was about to pick it when Lisa hit her hand away from the package.

''Don't, open it when you get there'' she said and looked at Paula with a sly smirk that the latter didn't realise.

''Okay''

''Have you taken your undergarments?''

''Yes''

''Let me see'' Lisa removed the small bag that was full of Paula's undergarments and shook her head, ''where are the ones I bought for you?''

''They are in my closet''

''You are taking those one. leave these old undergarments for home use''

''You sound as if they are so old. There are just three months old since I bought them''

''But, they look like granny pants. Paula, if I was endowed like you? Lord knows how many men would have fallen to their doom. Why are you wasting such a good form away by hiding it? Where is the beach wear I bought for you?''

''It is in my bag. I took it''

''Well, at least you did one thing right. Look, you are going to a place where you know nobody and nobody knows you. it is the perfect place and time to have a one night stand and leave it all in Vegas''

''I am going on a trip and nothing else''

''Aye, aye, what did I do in my past life for the heavens to give me a friend like you? Not that I don't love you, let's be clear on that, but sister, can you please let loose for a while?''

''Lisa'' Paula leaned and placed thumb on her lips and kissed her and Lisa froze.

''Paula, you are you a lesbian? Oh my God, are you in love with me?'' Lisa looked at her shocked.

''What do you think?'' Paula cocked her brows at her. Lisa stepped back and Paula laughed.

''Whoa, finally, there is something that can make you flustered? I didn't know that''

''Paula, don't scare me like that again? I almost packed out of this apartment''

Looking at her flustered face, Paula laughed and shook her head, ''rest assured, I am straight and you nag too much'' Paula closed the bag and smiled at her, ''let's go''

''Oh'' Lisa picked the luggage bag and they went outside to the hall.

''I made you breakfast. make sure you eat well. Don't skip your meals and also, let's talk about relocating that caf over here after I return''

''Why? I love the current location of my caf. I hardly get customers so work is much easier''

''That wasn't the purpose of opening the caf. And the only customers you get are perverts, womanisers and adulteresses who come to watch the sexy caf owner''

''It is so bad been appreciated because I look hot''

''You need to start making money from it. How long are you going to goof around? I think I've given you enough time to play around'' Paula said meaningfully.

''Yes, Ma'am'' Lisa pouted her lips and Paula hugged her before taking the bag.

''Take care of yourself and stay save''

''En, you too, I will walk you to the door'' Lisa followed Paula to the door and waved her hand at her as she went to get into the cab she had called.

Paula waved back as the cab drove away.

...

Paula arrived on time at Hotel Senora. She looked at the hotel and a lot of memories came to mind. She couldn't believe she was back to this place again after been here just a week ago.

She saw the bus and joined the queue.

A while later, Leslie walked out of the hotel and saw her. he furrowed his brows and looked at her. he remembered her so well.

''Pretty dimples is here? I wonder if my little brother knows''

''Who are you talking about?'' a young lady came out of the hotel and stood next to him.

''Oh, nothing. I just saw someone that I recognised''

''One of your many women?''

''No, this one is special''

''I don't care. Where is Andy? I haven't see him''

''He is going with Max''

''Asssh'' the lady cussed. ''Why are they always together? Are those two gay or something''

''No, no, sister. My junior brother is so straight. Get in, let's go''

''No, I am joining Andy. Even if Andy isn't gay, I can't say same for Max'' the lady said and took out her phone to call Andy.

As they bus started moving away, Paula saw Leslie and the lady together. She frowned as she looked at him. She knew he wasn't Andy. How? She could just feel it. She looked away and closed her eyes as she leaned against the seat.

The time it took one to get to the Coastal Region from the main city was about five hours, so by the time the bus pulled over, everyone was feeling crampy from sitting down for five hours straight. They all hurried to get down from the bus and stretched themselves.

Paula sat back until everyone was gone before she stood up and got down from the bus. She went over to take her luggage bag and joined the group with a three ladies in front of her. They went inside the subsidiary of Hotel Senora. When they arrived at the lobby, they waited for the host to come and welcome them.

Paula stood behind the three ladies and leaned against her luggage. She was tired and couldn't wait for them to show her to her room. She was sure she was going to fall asleep right away.

''Hi everyone''

Paula heard a man's voice and looked up.

''Thank you for coming here, I am your host and my name is Max. I want to assure you that you are at the right place and I promise you will enjoy every bit of your stay here. I know you all are tired and will like to freshen up and rest, so I will not waste much time, all you need to do is go over to the counter and present your card to the receptionist and take your room keys. We will gather here at 12: 30 noon for lunch and then the manager Mr. Andy Bassey himself will be here to welcome you and together we will all go to the beach''
