Episode 5

Monalisa's POV

The car finally came to a halt before the magnificent building. My mother in-law had booked one of the best expensive five star hotel in Chicago.

"Are you planning on coming down today or do you want me to push you out? " Alex sneered.

I gave him a hard stare before pushing open the car's door and stepped out. He came down too, brought out the bags and without saying a word to me, he walked into the hotel.

I followed suit. As soon as the receptionist saw us approaching, she scurried over to us.

"Good afternoon sir. I have been.. sorry, I mean we have been waiting for your arrival. Welcome" The lady, grinned. She was dressed corporately in a short black skirt, white jacket and boots.

 "My room please?" Alex said a bit curtly.

"Oh sorry. Please come with me" 

They both walked towards the staircase. I can't believe this! Is this dumb lady acting as if she can't see me or is she just being dumb?

I followed after them.

"I have heard a lot about you sir and I can't believe I'm walking beside you right now. It is such a privilege" The lady grinned as we clacked down the hallway.

Alex just kept quiet, such a rude jerk! Just then, my eyes fell on Alex. He was dressed in a blue jeans and yellow t shirt. He is not even dressed in his usual standard and this lady is already throwing herself on him. I wonder what she would do when she sees him standardly dressed.

"Sir. My name is Angela and I am still single"

I scoffed. Seriously? 

"You are so handsome sir and I will like to take a picture with you someday" 

" Can you stop talking already? You are already pissing off" Alex shunned and she stopped talking.

Finally! Good riddance.

She stopped talking and went silent. Only the sounds of people chattering and laughing from the rooms were heard.

"Your room, please" The lady finally spoke, pointing towards a door with "Room 203" boldly imprinted on the door post.

She pushed open the door and Alex walked in, she was about to go in too but I stopped her.

"I don't think we will be needing your service for now, so good bye" I fired and slammed the door at her face. 

How dare her try to make me feel invincible?

"Good riddance" I heard Alex mutter and I scoffed.

I ran my eyes around the large room which was beautifully decorated with rose flowers and wall papers which had the drawings of heart on them.

The bed was covered with a white bed sheet which was fully inscribed with "love" all over it.

What the heck is going on? This is so cheeky.

My eyes fell on a red lingerie on the bed. I raised it up and a paper fell from it. I bent down and picked up the paper and there was something written on it.

"Wear this to look sexy and seducing" I read aloud. What the heck is this?

I heard someone laugh and I looked up to see Alex staring at me with a mischievous smile.

"What? Why are you staring?" 

"Are you...uhm.. going to put on that? " He stuttered.

I furrowed my brows. " Why? Do you want me to? "

"Who knows? I'm sure you must be dying to seduce me right?"

I scoffed. " You have lost it. I am sure you are the one behind this. You are so shameless"

"What? Why would I do that? You are not even type "

I hissed. Not his type? 

" You are not my type either" I snapped and flinged out the stupid dress into the waste basket outside. I really don't have the strength to exchange words with him.

I emptied my clothes from the bag and arranged it into the wardrobe. I took my towel and night gown and was about going to the bathroom when Alex stood in front of me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, confused.

"I want to bath first, you can bath when I am done" 

" What?"

" You heard me right, so go sit down and wait"

" No, I won't. Are you deliberately trying to step on my toes? You are not even ready?" 

He slowly unbuckled his shirt with his eyes still fixed on me. 

" What do you think you are doing?"

He didn't reply rather he pulled off his shirt revealing his muscular chest and my jaw dropped in shock. 

Oh my gosh! This is so enticing.

"Hey. Can you hear me?" Alex snapped his finger, bringing me back to reality. I swallowed hard and quickly turned my back at him.

"Please put on your shirt"

"Why? Does it have any effect on you?" He whispered and I felt my

This is so creepy.

" Don't be full of yourself. Just because other girls easily gets influenced by you doesn't mean I am also like them" I almost yelled. " Just put on your shirt and get off my way" 

"No.. I am now prepared to take my bath, so just back down"

" Don't you dare Alex. 

"Accept defeat dear. But you can join me if you want to. " He chuckled and rushed Into the bathroom.

I turned to stop him but he was gone.

"Alex! Come out of there now. I was supposed to get in before you" I bellowed, banging hardly on the door.

" Don't hurt your hands darling, if you want to share a bath with me, just let me know. You don't have to pretend" He loudly replied from the bathroom and gave out a loud laugh.

" I hate you. You will pay for this" I snapped as I grumbly walked back and sat on the couch.

I can't believe I will be spending a week alone with this jerk, I just hope I don't end up becoming a murderer.

I must think of a way to make him pay, I won't let him get away with this.
