New Girl In Town
Part 19
"Uuh..Where am I? How did I get here?", Leah paused while sitting upright.
"Last night. Was it just a dream?", she wondered, scratching her head. She realized that she had been lying on a bed in a stranger's room as her eyes roamed the surrounding. She heard a sound of the door knob and faced towards the entrance of the room.
"Oh you're awake. I brought you something", Zahn spoke in a soft tone. He was carrying along a tray filled with a hot cup of Milo and a peanut butter sandwich for Leah's breakfast. Leah did not even try to resist his offer and only blushed in embarrassment. So this is how his room looks like, she thought.
"About last night..Did it really happened?", questioned Leah while locking her eyes into Zahn's. In answering her statement, he nodded quietly, showing a faint smile. He then came up with another topic which was really needed to be talked about.
"I remembered Crocodile saying something about the gem. What is the gem exactly?".
Hearing about it, Leah gazed upon the beautiful view through the windows. "That gem was actually an genuine artifact which existed centuries ago. In estimation, it costed billions of dollars. Crocodile kept that gem close to him but then I stole it and left him as far away as I could".
"What happened to the gem then?", Zahn wanted to know eagerly.
Leah then continued, "I sold it to the national museum for 2 billion dollars. Worth a lifetime".
Zahn only giggled.
The lovers were in a good mood with each other when Aeonex and Ryuuziq barged in recklessly without knocking.
"Good morning to all. Welcome back, Leah", shouted the both of them in coordination.
Leah showed her thanks with a bow, sighing softly at the same time due to them crashing into a romantic spotlight.
"So, Zahn, how'd it go just now? You know what I'm talking about. You..her..alone?", teased Ryuuziq.
"It must've been really hard for you", supported Aeonex.
Zahn turned his back towards Leah, showing handsigns on his two friends to cut it out. Leah's face turned beet red, hearing it in an unexpected way. Zahn was saying in his mind, "I'm going to put a shoe on your throats".
Shortly after, the lovely couple, Mal and Tiqi arrived for a visit.
"Good morning, everyone! I see that you're in high spirits, Leah", commented Tiqi cheerfully. She was already hyped up while Mal was walking like a dizzy person, as though he was half-sleeping. Tiqi had to wake him up with a hard pinch on his left arm. The rest of the friends only watched in enthusiasm, seeing how the couple got together.
"Dear, even at this time, you can still sleep. Unbelievable", complained Tiqi.
Mal then replied while sleeping halfway, "Don't..blame me. I had to..sell..Elmos right after..the fight".
The rest laughed their butts off, finding how amusing Mal could be even when he was unconscious of it.
"Riiing", sounded the doorbell. Everyone focused at the living room, wondering who it was. The other visitor was Rinoa herself, with a very excited expression.
"Hey everyone! I see that all of you are already here", she shouted happily. The Aeonex heard her, he jumped towards her with hands opened wide.
"Rinooooaaa! Embrace me with your..", Aeonex was about to complete his sentence. Rinoa took a step to the right and Aeonex missed the target, falling to the hard floor.
"You look like you have some good news to say", analysed Leah.
"As a matter of fact, yes. Since all of you are present here, how about if we all go on a beach vacation? I mean, we might not be together as we are now, right?".
Ryuuziq thought for a moment. Maybe she is speaking the truth. He responded to her, "Only if Leah is ready to move about, then we'll go".
Hearing what Ryuuziq said, Leah straight away got out of the bed and stood up straight.
She then gave the final answer, " Let's get packed, everyone!".
The friends separated to prepare themselves and met up later while Mal was still at the same position as before, snoring smoothly.
