Chapter 49
Aiden and Nina were silent for almost 15 minutes, trying to hear any suspicious noises in the building again. Nina gulped, it felt so tense as if she were in a horror movie.
Aiden who felt that he was a real man, tried hard to hold back his fear. He can't be weak, especially in front of a woman.
Because nothing happened, slowly the drowsiness began to attack their eyes. Nina gave up and immediately fell asleep in Aiden's arms, five minutes later, he followed.
Duuukkk...
"Ah...it hurts!" Aiden winced as his head hit the table. The pain woke him up instantly.
He couldn't move, Nina was still fast asleep in his arms. Circumstances like this made him forced to endure until this woman woke up by herself.
Nina began to squirm and her eyes opened. In contrast to Aiden who couldn't move at all because he had to support his body all night, Nina casually used Aiden's body as a mattress.
"She's finally awake!" He said. Seeing the banana girl's radiant face annoyed him.
"Good morning, Aiden?" Nina smiled, saying good morning as if they were newlyweds.
"No need for strings attached, hurry up and get out of the way! My legs are cramped from holding your heavy body!"
"Not light, just any of you! My weigh 47 kg. Light enough, right?" She said as she got up from Aiden's body and crawled out under the table.
"Ah... so relieved, my body hurts all over! You have to be responsible!" Aiden touched his sore shoulder.
"Do you want me to get a massage? It's free!" She smiled coquettishly with a meaning adults could understand.
Aiden paused and immediately thought for a moment, for some reason Nina's words were like veiled temptation.
"Can you do that? My body really aches!"
"Of course, I was a massage therapist for six months before college. So you could say I'm pretty good at it!"
"May also-"
"But there are a prerequisite !"
"What are the conditions? You ask for payment?"
"No, you can't wear clothes!" Nina whispered. Immediately Aiden's hairs went down, remembering what he had experienced since being trapped in this place.
"After that what happened?" He asked who unintentionally asked an ambiguous question thanks to his impulse.
"Yes, I'm massaging you, you just need to lie down and let me do it!"
"Do what?"
"Yes massage, what else?"
"Just that?"
"So what else do you want?"
"I thought there was something else, but that's all, isn't it? It's not fun!"
"What do you want exactly? Not fun? Do you think we're playing a game?"
"Ok, that's fine. But you can't wear clothes too, can you?" Aiden smiled, looking at her with those beautiful eyes.
Nina was taken aback, even though at first she didn't understand what Aiden was saying. However, seeing Aiden's suspicious smile made her understand that Aiden wanted something more.
"What do you really want?"
"Nothing, but I thought, it would just happen. So let it flow on its own-"
"What am I talking about? Why is my mind so dirty like this? Damn, being stuck in this place is driving me crazy!" He thought, feeling very embarrassed by his own words.
"What just happened? You don't want to be frank, do you? Never mind, the important thing is we get out of this place first and-"
"Hey!"
"What?"
"You see that over there? Isn't that the person who stood up last night?" He asked while pointing to the corner of the room.
"That's right, why is he still there?"
"Something's strange-" Aiden immediately stepped towards the mysterious figure of the man who had been standing all night and not moving an inch.
"Aiden, what do you want?"
"I want to check it!"
"No! What if-"
"Don't worry, let me go there!"
"How can I calm down, what if he's dangerous?"
"I'm a man, a woman like you just wait here!" He said with a mocking smile. He took a step while holding back a laugh.
"He's been talking strangely since earlier, could he be possessed by a spirit?" Nina muttered.
She the timid cat remained standing where she was, watching Aiden's back getting further away. When he thought about it, the figure of the mysterious man was indeed strange. How could anyone stand and not move all night?
"Ami!" Aiden shouted while waving.
"What is it?"
"Come here...!" He shouted while holding back a laugh.
Nina stepped quickly toward Aiden who giggled while facing the wall. When the mysterious figure was in front of her eyes, she was immediately shocked when she realized that the mysterious man was just a mannequin statue.
"S-so this is a statue?"
"Hahahaha...we're hiding just to avoid statues like this, how stupid!"
"But it feels like a human, huh? What's a statue like this for in an empty building like this?"
"Yeah whatever it is, it's none of our business. So, it's better if-",
"There are people here...?" Shouted a man in front of the entrance that was locked from the outside.
They looked at each other, thinking the same thing, namely the arrival of the savior they had been waiting for. Aiden and Nina immediately took quick steps towards the door.
Krieeettt...
The door opened, a middle-aged man in uniform entered and was immediately greeted by this pitiful-looking pair of people.
"You? Why are you two here?" Asked the man.
"Sorry, we are trapped and locked from the outside. So, we can't get out!" Nina said, smiling awkwardly.
"Is that so? Then, you may go!"
"Ah... well, thank you!"
They walked away with a sigh of relief. Seeing the sun shining brightly, they almost couldn't believe it, experiencing this strange thing and all because of Julian.
"That bastard Julian, he has to pay for everything!" Aiden muttered indignantly with his hands clenched.
They returned to the restaurant, where Aiden's car was parked. At the side of the road, his black sedan was still where it was. Aiden ran to his beloved car and immediately checked whether there were any scuffs or missing belongings.
"Thank goodness, looks safe!" He said.
"My bag too, it's still complete!"
"Okay, let's go home!"
Kriuuukkk...
Nina's stomach growled, a sign that it must be filled immediately.
"I'm so hungry...!" She said while holding her stomach.
Aiden glanced at Nina guiltily because last night, he ate her portion of instant noodles and after that, she didn't eat anything else.
"Want to eat first?"
"Wow... you asked me to eat? Incredibly, what's the wind?"
"You want or not?"
"Hehe... of course I want it if you treat it. After that, take me home okay?"
"What time did you come to my house? Don't pretend to forget, you're my slave now!"
"Okay master, I will go home to shower and change clothes, after that, I will go to your house again. Are you satisfied?"
"Don't take too long, you promised to massage me, right?"
"Are you serious?"
"You think I'm kidding?"
"Yes, alright!"
