INSIDE THE PLANE ✈**
Scarlett took turns in staring at LX and Phil.
LX was seated on her right side, while Phil on her left.
LX had his headphones on, He was listening to beats, while he composed down lyrics on his notepad to while away time, since no one was allowed to use their phones.
Phil was reading a magazine while sipping a creamie smoothie.
Scarlett who was doing nothing between them sighed dee-ply.
“I wish we would just get to Paris on time” She thought.
She slowly turned back to see Trina looking at Oscar dee-ply. Oscar’s eyes were at the front. He had gl@$$es on.
Trina looked at Scarlett and winked, which almost made her flinch. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“Gosh,,, Why’s she here? Is this some lover’s trip or business trip” Scarlett muttered and faced front.
↩REVERSE TO THE DAY BEFORE THE FLIGHT↩
OSCAR’S PLACE**
Oscar kept on staring at Trina’s contact. He sighed repeatedly.
He had his thumb pointing on the ‘call’ icon.
“Should I call her?” He thought.
“Should I not call her?” He thought again.
He kept his phone down in frustration and then stared at it.
“I’m just gonna call her and tell her I’m leaving to Paris…”
“But why should I tell her that?” He scoffed.
“Well, I should tell her so that she won’t get worried and look for me. As we all know, She’s a nuisance” He replied himself, and quickly grabbe-d his phone.
He pressed the icon with his eyes ti-ghtly close.
It didn’t even ring fully when he suddenly heard her loud shrill and excited voice.
“Oscarrrrr!!!”
He blinked, and didn’t bother to place the phone on his ear, since her voice was loud. He didn’t even place it on speaker.
“Oscar? You there??”
“Huh…Yeah”
“Fu-ck, You finally called. It’s a relief…Urgh”
“Yeah…”
“So, What’s up?” She asked, and stood up from the carpet where she was polishing her toe nails before bumping to the soft sofa, where she la-id on.
“I’m leaving” He was straightforward.
Trina was quite confused.
She arched her brows, and sat upright.
“What? Leaving to where? Don’t..don’t tell me you’re dying!”
“Huh! Noo!”
Trina sighed in relief and smiled.
“Good. Where are you leaving to then?”
“Paris…”
“Paris? Why? Your family stays out? You have a girlfriend there?”
“Nooo!”
“Geez, You don’t have to scream” Trina laughed.
“Anyways, I know you guys are going to Paris on a business trip. I saw it on the papers about RM,,, companies whatever” She added, with an eye roll and Oscar giggled.
“Wait,,, Was that a giggle?!” Trina smiled.
“Did you just giggle, like, he…he…he” She smiled wider.
Oscar cleared his throat.
“Me? When? No. I didn’t…”
“Aiish! Stop lying. I heard you. You giggled cause of me”
Oscars smiled and nodded.
“Yes, You’re quite funny” written by sommy pearl f.
“Awwn… I guess your ideal type of women are the funny type?”
“Yes. I mean,,, I… I don’t…know”
Trina giggled.
“So, you called cause you wanted me to know you were leaving or cause- She paused, and looked at her toes.
“You want me to come over” She added.
“What?” Oscar asked.
“You want me to follow you right?” She whispered.
Oscar swallowed ha-rd.
“…Yes. Follow me to Paris”
Trina raised her eyes up and her false long lashes reacted mightily.
“Is it tomorrow?”
“Yes” He whispered back, with a smile.
FORWARD TO TIME**
Scarlett was already asleep.
Her head was about falling to LX shoulder when Phil quickly pulled her to his.
LX quickly threw him a glare.
“I saw that”
Phil scoffed.
“I thought you were writing?”
“And I thought you were reading!” LX said, and took her head back to his own shoulder. written by sommy pearl f.
“Yes, Yes. Enjoy” Phil raised his brows.
“Certainly” LX smi-rked and Phil angrily looked away.
“So annoying…” Phil muttered, and rested his head.
HOURS LATER**
“At last!!” Bruce yawned.
“Geez, That was a bit tiring” Isaac adjusted his gl@$$es.
Felicia just walked stylishly out from the plane, down the staircase.
Phil walked out, then Scarlett, and LX.
Oscar and Trina came down next. She was linking her arm, with his.
They looked at the open space of the airport and Scarlett made a call.
She ended it and faced them.
“Let’s go out. The rolls-royce is waiting outside” Scarlett said.
“Okay then. Let’s go” Phil said and they all walked out.
DURING THE DRIVE***
“So, Secretary Scarlett? What are we having tomorrow?” Phil asked, and turned around to face Scarlett who was sitting with LX.
Scarlett smiled.
“An opening pa-rty, which ends till dawn”
“Yay. pa-rty” Trina exclaimed.
She was asleep on Oscar’s shoulder, but when she heard the word ‘pa-rty’, The sleep ran off.
Trina looked at Oscar.
“We are gonna have fun” She winked.
Oscar for-ced an awkward smile and looked away before Trina la-id her head back.
“Who even invited you here, Trina!” Phil asked.
“Not your Fu-cking business” She hissed.
“Its my Fu-cking business cause its my own business trip” Phil said, and Scarlett chuckled.
Trina glared at her.
“Whatever…”
5 STARS HOTEL, PARIS**
“Weyyyyyy!!!” Trina rolled around, looking at the luxurious hotel.
“Can I stay with him, Oppa?” She asked Phil, with an innocent and cute looking puppy eyes.
“Who?” Phil asked, harshly.
“Os-
“You’re dreaming. Listen to your room numbers by the way” Phil cleared his throat and looked at Scarlett who gave a smile.
Scarlett walked in front of them, and opened a small notepad.
“Miss Felicia Kinks, Room 77”
“Mr Bruce Innocent, Room 52”
“Mr Isaac Lawrence, Room 57”
“LX,, Room 80”
“Mr Oscar Jones, Room 121”
“Thats all” Scarlett said, and handed their p@$$ cards to them.
“Thats all? What about me!” Trina barked.
“We didn’t reserve any room for you. You came unaware” Scarlett tried to sound calm.
“Then, I’ll make one myself. I’m taking the next room after Oscar Jon- Trina paused and narrowed her eyes.
“Oscar…Jo…Jones?” She whispered, and looked at Scarlett.
“Did I hear you right?” She asked.
“Pardon?” Scarlett asked, back.
“Is Jones, his surname?? Like you mentioned before”
“Why? What’s wrong?” Oscar asked, and Trina took few steps back.
“U hmm..Nothing” Trina muttered.
“His surname sounds a bit familiar” She thought.
“So,,, You. What’s your own room number?” Felicia asked, Scarlett.
Scarlett stared at her.
“Why are you asking?” Phil asked.
“I nee-d to know as well. What’s your room number?” LX asked.
Scarlett’s eyes scanned everyone.
“Room 78”
“Close to mine” LX smiled.
“And close to mine too. I’m room 79” Phil chipped in, with a sm-irk.
LX smile left his face and he looked at Phil icyily.
***
Phil went to the balcony, watching the beautiful hu-ge city and the tall buildings which almost reached for the night sky. written by sommy pearl f.
He smiled and heard LX voice;
“Scarlett”
Phil quickly turned to see Scarlett, taking her eyes off him, and taking them to LX, who was at the other balcony.
Felicia also came out of her balcony and smiled upon seeing Phil.
Phil sighed dee-ply seeing LX talking to Scarlett, and with that he walked back in.
“Can’t wait for the pa-rty tomorrow, sir” Felicia giggled, before entering back in.
THE NEXT DAY, pa-rtY**
♪ Lately, I’ve been losing my mind ♪
♪ Certain things, I can’t find…. ♪
The pa-rty was quite hot and also noble.
Phil wore a black deluxe suit, over a dark trousers, black bowtie, golden wrist watch, etc.
He was looking too fine and dashing.
His hair was standing tall and gelled. His new made eyebrows made him look more hotter.
He looked up to see LX coming in.
He also wore a suit, bronze wristwatch, a longer tie, and brown shoes.
He was looking so handsome and dazzling.
LX sighed dee-ply, and tou-ched the tip of his curls as he made his way to Phil.
“Where is Scarlett?” LX asked.
“I wish I knew” Phil replied, with an eye roll.
ELEVATOR***
Scarlett was adding mascara to her face when her door flung opened.
It made the mascara give her an untidy look.
“Ouch!” She cussed.
“Who’s that!” She shouted.
“Its me! Why!” It was Trina.
Trina was wearing a black short gown, which was quite ti-ght.
It had an opening slitted down from her che-st to the upper pa-rt of her navel.
She held a black purse, and had her hair down, with long black heels.
Her make up was killing and on fire.
Scarlett stood up fast.
“Oh, Miss Tri-
“Sshhh!” Trina quickly kept her fin-geragainst Scarlett’s li-ps.
“I only nee-d one thing from you. Who are you? Scarlett? Or Jenna??” Trina asked.
Scarlett blinked her eyes.
“Excuse me?” She muttered.
“Talk” Trina said.
“Do you know Jenna?” Scarlett asked.
“….What? Je…Jenna?” Trina muttered.
She kept her fin-gerdown and laughed.
“I just wanted to know your name. Oscar had those names on his phone. So, I guess you aren’t Jenna” Trina smiled.
“Scarlett??,,, Nice name” She winked and turned over.
Scarlett looked on, in confusion.
“Oww,,, My head” Trina mo-aned, and quickly tou-ched her head, by the left side.
“You alright?” Scarlett held her.
Trina was remembering something.
It came like a flash.
*What’s your name?* Trina asked, from the rooftop, she and the depressed girl both sat.
With a sad smile, She replied;
*I’m Jenna Jones, You?*
Trina got back to reality and wide-ned her eyes.
“The…Fu-ck was that” She whispered, and tears ran down her eyes.
She remembered it all now.
