The Mistletoe Magic ✨

|| Alia ||

We finally reached the motel after walking through the snow. It's a small warm, nicely lit place having super welcoming hosts. Seeing us shiver, the lady offered us some hot chocolate and damn it was delicious. You can't get these in those classy cafes but in places like this. I am sure I will actually be a potato before leaving this place.

While Alex completed the check-in, I looked out the window. The place looks like it's in between the woods as I could see pine trees around, wearing snow caps. The snow has increased and paths almost are invisible. Many people are in the motel already or are checking in as they couldn't move ahead. 

Once we got the room, I rushed to my room to take some hot showers. I put my luggage in the closet area, picked up my nighttime pyjamas and went in for a hot shower. It's amazing what a hot shower can do to you. We still had time for dinner, so I planned on sleeping and not socialising. Once food would be ready, I would go only then to have my food and rush back. I don't need any chance to have a conversation.

The bed seems cosy. I climbed the bed and pulled the cover on top of me when I felt someone touched me. I jumped out of the bed shit scared. Turned on the lights and picked up the forks on the table. There is a man in my bed. What the hell is a man doing in my room. On my bed. Pervert. How dare he do that. He is handsome. What is wrong with me? 

And how dare he? He ain't leaving either. I screamed at the top of my lungs but he went back to sleep . 

And now another man entered. I screamed Amita and Alex's name at the top of my voice. 

The hosts entered the room as well. 

"Isabella. Please tell this stranger or pervert that this is my room and to get out of my room." I said folding my hands against my chest. 

"Mike, would you help me out here?" That man said to the guy standing beside Isabella.

Isabella had an apologetic smile as she approached us. "It's my fault. I am really sorry. Looks like we have a confusion. Actually I assigned room 304 to Ms. Alia here. But didn't log in to the register. And Mike gave the same room to David & Shawn. Its my mistake. I am really sorry."

"Please give him another room." I said annoyed.

"I am not leaving. Take her to another room."

He said.

"I was here first. " 

"I was in bed first. You have to change."

"Guyss.." Mike interrupted. "Before we fight more, let me tell you. We don't have any more rooms. So none of you can be reassigned. I am really sorry."

I want to kill all the people in this room especially the one still sitting on MY bed. 

"Mr. Douchebag. Be kind and leave my bed."

"Not after you call me names. " 

"Listen.."

"Listen Casper. I had a longgg journey. Super long. I am super tired. I need to sleep or I might kill people. "

"I am not leaving. Also who is this Casper. I am Alia."

"I am Shawn. Lets have an introduction later. "

" Get out. "

Mike interrupted. "So mature. I have a solution. Shawn why don't you & David take up Isabella and my room. Its storming, so we might stay up. Let miss Alia have her room."

Annoyed Mr. Douchebag or Mr. Good Looking made an annoyed face and got up the bed.

"Just because I am a gentleman..."

"Yeah we saw that." I jumped into the bed showing him my tongue. Yeah I know its little immature but looked appropriate then. Don't judge me okay. 

Everyone left the room and I had a wide smile on my face. What is wrong with me. 

I closed my eyes for minutes and bam. Lightning struck. And power went off. Bite me. 

I hate darkness. Actually kind of scared. 

I added my jacket and using my phone torch, navigated my way to the reception lobby kinda area. 

Ohh everyone is already here. Mr. Whatsoever too. 

I sat as far away I can. The room is lit with tiny candles and lanterns. So aesthetic. The fireplace helped us keep warm.

Even in the darkness I can sense his chuckle. I can feel his face making fun of me. Yeahh you got the room yet couldn't sleep. 

Why is he coming closer. 

"Protein bar?" He said offering me one.

"No. Thanks." I looked the other way.

He moved across the hall to accompany Isabella & Mike.

Arghh. Now I can't see him. Idk why I want to see him but I wanted him to sit at a place where I can see him.

Am I crazy? No. Maybe a little. Or no.
