chocolate cake

Alisha: aaaa....(opens her mouth)

Luca: (blinks)

Alisha: What are you doing? Feed me I am hungry (points to her mouth).

Luca: (starts feeding her) “I never thought I would have a chance to feed her, god I am so happy”

Alisha: (Munching the food happily)

Luca: “So cute, I just hope she will stay with me like this forever.”

Alisha: Did you eat?

Luca: No, I will eat after. First you eat.

Alisha: Nope. You also eat. (she feeds him)

Luca: (looking at her in daze) “So sweet of her, I love her more now”

Nox: love: 30 %, obsession: 70 %.

(Finished eating)

Luca: you sleep. I will come later.

Alisha: (Nods obediently).

(Luca starts to walk towards the door)

Alisha: Luca... (looks down hesitantly)

Luca: what happened?

Alisha: hmm... I want a chocolate cake. (says hesitantly)

Luca: No, just now you wake up.

Alisha: what? (pouts sadly) please, pretty please only 1 small piece. (shows her puppy eyes)

Luca: “how can I say no to those eyes” okay? But I will give it to you in the evening. (pats her head)

Nox: Host, LP is 25%

Alisha: Luca... (playing with fingers). I am bored here.

Luca: (eyes darkens and grabs her shoulders tightly) what? now want to leave me and run away again. (yells)

Alisha: Luca it hurts, what are you saying didn't you say we just had a couple fight. (teary eyes)

Luca: (comes to his sense seeing her teary eyes) Sorry (leaves her shoulders) sorry shasha. I just lost my mind.

Alisha: your baddies, it hurts(sniffing). I won't talk to you (hump and turns around back facing Luca)

Luca: I am so sorry, shasha. Please talk to me. Before losing your memories, you misunderstood me and wanted to leave me, that's why I thought...

Alisha: Did you let me talk, you burst out like a volcano? I didn't even complete my sentences properly. (still sitting back facing Luca)

Luca: (turns her around gently towards him) I am sorry, my love. Tell me what you wanted to say

Alisha: I won't (hump puffs her cheeks in anger and turns her face to the other side)

Luca: I am going. Sia will accompany you. (sighs and left the room)

Alisha: Okay, I need to prepare further.

Nox: Host, what are you doing? If you don't talk to him, how will you make him fall in love with you?

Alisha: don't worry. Just wait and watch the show, foxie.

(Lucia enters the room)

Lucia: Shasha, what are you doing?

Alisha: Nothing. (sad face)

Lucia: Is something bothering you? You can always share everything with me. (grabs her shoulders to turn Alisha to see her face)

Alisha: hiss...

Lucia: what happened shasha?(worried)

Alisha: It is all because of Luca. I was saying something before hearing me completely. He grabbed my shoulders and started yelling that you want to leave me now and so on.

Lucia: let me see it. I will put medicine on it.

Alisha: It's okay. It doesn't hurt much.

Lucia: Show me, (slightly bruised hand marks are there, Lucia starts applying cream on her shoulders). Okay, Shasha, Take a rest. I am leaving now.

Alisha: okay.

(Lucia goes to Luca room)

(Luca was sitting on the couch while working on the laptop)

Lucia: (opens the door with a loud bang) Brother...(yells)

Luca: (Flinches) Is that how you open the door? Where are your manners, Lucia?

Lucia: Brother, you hurt her. (angry tone) Please try to be gentle with her and control your temper or else she will end up hating you again. Then you will lose her for good. That’s all I can say. (said and left without looking back)

Luca: sighs heavily.

In the evening,

Nox: Host, are you even trying? You only have two days to complete the task.

Alisha: Well, I almost forgot about that. Luca would be coming anytime. Wait. I am going to change into nightwear now.

(Alisha changes into a white laced off shoulder night dress)

(Luca comes into the room)

Luca: Shasha. Please talk to me. I am so sorry, my love.

Alisha: (Hump)turns her head

Luca: (as she turns suddenly notices the reddish bruise on her shoulders) I really regret it, I just couldn't control my anger. I will do anything to make you forgive me? What should I do to make you talk to me?

Alisha: hmm...(thinks). You should not yell at me or be angry with me.

Luca: Okay, I will not get angry or yell at you.

Alisha: But I am still angry with you.

Luca: sorry, baby. I misunderstood you. Tell me what you were talking about earlier.

Alisha: It is not important now. You didn't listen then.

Luca: Why is it not important? Everything about you is important to me.

Alisha: Okay, (pouts to hide her smile) I wanted you to spend some time with me as I was bored.

Luca: “what she wants to spend time with me. Stupid Luca, you ruined it with your temper. Now she is not even talking to you.”

Nox: love: 40 %, obsession: 70 %.

Luca: I brought you favorite chocolate cake. It's okay I will eat it. (Starts unpacking the cake box)

Alisha: Hey, it is for me you cannot eat it.

(Luca hid the cake box behind his back as Alisha tried to grab it from him. He stepped back toward the bed, teasingly keeping it out of reach. Alisha stretched on her tiptoes, trying once more to snatch the box from his hand. But just as her fingers brushed it, she lost her balance and stumbled forward falling right onto Luca.

Caught off guard, he fell back onto the bed, but not before instinctively wrapping his arm around her waist to steady her. Their eyes met.

Her crystal-blue eyes looked like the calm ocean, radiating kindness, the very thing that drew him in. His deep black eyes felt like a night sky filled with stars, shimmering with nothing but love for her.

Time seemed to stop as they gazed at each other, lost in the moment. Alisha’s heart pounded wildly in her chest, betraying her calm façade. That stupid organ never knew how to behave when strange new feelings surfaced. For someone who had never experienced emotions before, she felt warmth and love for the very first time and she couldn’t quite understand what was happening.)

Alisha: “What is happening to me why my heart is beating so loudly and his eyes are filled with pure love I couldn't see any obsession or possession in it. Why am I feeling this way? Did I miss something while reading or what? First, I need to concentrate on this moment for now.”

(Alisha moved closer to Luca, never breaking eye contact. His breath hitched, and he instinctively leaned in, closing his eyes. She moved even closer, closing the distance between them. The room fell completely silent, the only sound being the loud rhythm of their hearts beating like drums.

Her warm breath brushed against his face, and his heart began to race even faster. This stupid organ, he thought. It forgets its purpose of pumping blood whenever she’s involved, it just goes crazy.

Luca’s eyes were still closed when Alisha quietly reached for the cake box on the bed. It opened slightly — poor Luca, completely unaware of what was happening around him. She took the chance to scoop a bit of cream and gently smeared it on his cheek. Only then did he open his eyes — and saw her smiling mischievously.)
