"Hey?" I prompted.

No reply.

"Hey, whats wrong?"

No reply.

"You alive?!"

"Oh my god! Put me down! Do something! What are you doing? Stop! Hey you thief! I said stop!"

She yelled and started thrashing around again. I almost lost my grip on her due to sudden volume.

"What the hell?!" I turned around, causing her to face opposite direction.

A bald man was running away with her luggage.

Shit.

"Put me down, asshole!" She kicked me even harder, snapping me out. I placed her back on her feet and the moment I did, she ran behind the man. I followed.

The guy rounded a few corners and we lost him in an alley after 20 minutes of chasing. I was panting for air and my drenched clothes with my heavy hiking backpack didn't help either. Thank god, it was waterproof.

"You!" She jabbed her finger on my chest and I stiffened. Her eyes radiated fury that had me gulping. "It's your fault!"

"Last time I checked, I wasn't the one dancing in the middle of crowd-"

Her cheeks burned but I wasn't sure if it was anger or embarrassment.

"That bag had everything, my clothes-"

"-And I wasn't the one who kissed you first-"

"-my money, everything-"

"-I certainly didn't ask you for prank-"

"-and now you are gonna pay for my trip!"

That shut me up. I will what?

"Yes! You heard me right! I don't have money for hotel or food. I don't have fresh clothes. Hell, my phone dropped somewhere in chase and all this, because of you! So yeah, Mr whoever you are, welcome your new trip mate! And don't you dare think you can bail out! I will torture you every single second of this trip to take my revenge and yeah I won't get off your back till I land on Los Angeles soil, safe and secure. You also owe me my whole damn new wardrobe! Do you get it-!"

"This whoever has a name!"

"Oh. My. God. I rambled for 10 minutes, straight and that's all you noticed?" she looked at me as if I grew 2 heads.

"Hell no! You're not staying with me! It isn't my fault that you drew on me like I am some freaking whiteboard! You spoiled my face, karma spoiled your trip!"

"Don't chalk this up on karma! You were the one who was sleeping on my shoulder and drooling for whole god-damn 3 hours! It isn't my fault that I got mad when everybody kept saying that 'you've a sexy boyfriend' or 'you two make an adorable pair'. I got mad and took my revenge! So now you had nothing to take revenge for! And this means that this is you're freaking-!"

"Sexy, huh?" I smirked.

She clenched her fists and groaned loudly in irritation. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths chanting 'don't kill him' as her mantra. I was barely holding my laughter. It's not every day that I get amused like this.

She finally opened her eyes and pasted a sickly sweet smile on her face.

"You know what? I am very tired and wet. So let's go to hotel, sucker!"

"Wet?"

This did it. I laughed clutching my stomach and she tugged her hair in frustration. She fisted my collar and straightened me up to meet her threatening glare.

"Listen here pervert, this trip was supposed to save me from being lost and frustrated but now you are evoking those emotions in me. I promised my friends to be non-violent and patient and I swear to god, you're making it hard for me to hold my fist back, from breaking your nose."

She gritted her teeth. Her eyes burned in rage and even I, the ice king, shuddered at intensity. Something told me that she was serious. Very serious. The only reply, I choke out was:

"Uh, I-I think h-hotel's that way?"

Great, now I stutter too.

I have a feeling. This is gonna be a hell of a trip.

~~~~~

"Dibs on the bed!" first think she says entering the room.

I was checking in the hotel and surely there were no rooms available now. We had to share and the thought got me shuddering.

Yeah, me shuddering.

What? She is scary!

The moment I got the key, I ran for my life. She caught up with me and we both didn't even wait for elevators as we raced on staircase to the 6th floor room. I had a feeling that if I don't get there first, I will lose something precious.

I must say she's got brain. The girl knew that I had the key, so she slowed purposely but the moment door granted me access, she jumped out of nowhere and made it to room first, hence calling dibs on bed.

"Hell no! This is my room, I am sleeping on bed. You go get couch or something."

"Such a gentlemen."

"Why, thank you."

She rolled her eyes. "I don't care uh... whoever you are, I am gonna sleep on bed and that's final!"

"For god sake my name is-!"

"Geez. No need to get your knickers in twist."

I glared at her but said nothing. Throwing my bag down, I took out a fresh pair of clothes.

"Uh- I- um-?"

"Oh god! Somebody finally got you short on words! I never thought I would be able to see this day!" I spoke in a high pitch. I could literally feel a hole in my head but when I turned, I was face to face with large puppy dog eyes and a cute pout. She was fiddling with hem of her jacket as her toes twiddled with each other.

Nervous eh?

"I-I n-" she took a deep breath as her cheeks tinged pink. "Can I borrow your clothes?" she spoke in a breath. I looked at her with a flat expression before turning and throwing a pair of boxer and shirt in her direction.

She caught them before they hit her face. I could feel her glare but I ignored it and waltzed in bathroom. I heard a groan from outside and I wondered how many more hours we will be able to keep our hands off each other's throat.

I dressed after a quick shower and cleared my throat.

"I coming out. I hope you're decent."

No reply.

"Are you listening?"

No reply. I banged my head on door and cursed.

"Answer me?!"

No reply.

"Fine! I am coming out."

No reply.

"Don't tell me that I didn't warn you!"

I creaked open the door and poked my head out, my eyes were closed.

"Hey? I honestly don't want to see something that-" I muttered angrily as I opened my eyes. My anger instantly melted away when I saw her cuddled into a foetus diagonally across the bed.

She looked so damn adorable while sleeping in my clothes that it almost became hard to not kiss her again. I gingerly approached her and gently tucked her in correct position. Her hair were still wet and there was a huge water patch on bed under her head. I stepped in bathroom again and got a towel. Softly lifting her head, I wrapped her hair in the towel and placed her head back on mattress.

I chuckled softly when she mumbled gibberish under her breath. With a sigh, I took the couch and welcomed the sleep.

Maybe just maybe, it won't be so bad.
