One More Night

Chapter 2 – Are you the girl who kissed me?



As the days went by, Nicole and Jane woke up early to go back to School, they also brought the things to be fixed in their dorms. They first go to the Registration Office and get other papers that will be needed.

As Jane waited outside the Registration Office, she saw the upcoming heartthrob, Henry Windsor, one of the members of the band “Second Chance,” led by Jake.

Henry is the drummer of their band; Jane has long admired Henry for his ability to play drums. He is one of the targets and heartthrob of their school; she just thinks he is attractive.

He has a medium height, dark hair, and good shape, hunky guy, handsome and so attractive that he makes your heart beat fast.

Slowly he approached Jane and smiled, and she saw his beautiful teeth along with its dimples on one cheek.

“Hi, can I borrow your pen?” he said calmly to Jane.

Jane, on the other hand, looked like an idiot because of his hypnotizing eyes; she slowly took the ballpen from the bag and handed it to Henry while having a sweet smile.

“Thank you sweety.” Henry whispered, as he picked up Jane’s ballpen.

He then winked on her before he turned around and entered the Registration Office. It was then Nicole came out from inside, she saw Jane was astonished. She immediately approached her, and startled her.

“Hey!!! What happened to you? Why do you look like you’re staring into space?” Nicole asked.

“I saw him, I saw my Prince Charming.” Jane said, smiling.

“Tssk! Henry again? Why are you so crazy about him? You know that he is a womanizer?” said Nicole.

“Gosh, Nicole, he borrowed my ballpen, and then he winked at me.” Jane said nervously while her mind was still floating.

“Tsssk! Let’s go, I still have a lot to do.” Then pull the suitcase she was carrying.

“Huh, your killjoy!” Jane frowned.

Jane followed her and also brought her suitcase, and then they searched their dorms.

Meanwhile, Jake plays basketball along with his other classmates and band mates.

Soon their game was over. They rested and sat on the side of the court, drinking water.

“Hey Jake, how was that girl who kissed you? Did you already get her number?” Tim asked as he wiped away his sweat.

“Nope,” Jake answered.

“Aren’t you interested in her?” Tim asked again.

“I don’t know.” Jake replied while drinking water.

Later, they returned to their respective dormitories. Jake’s dorm is on the second floor and it is the first door on the left, this is the room he always chooses because it has fresh air and in front of the school field.

He opened the door of his bedroom and changed clothes. He first took off his rubber shoes, and he took off his sweaty white shirt and then he took off his shorts.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and the freshly bathed woman came out with only a towel wrapped around her body.

They were both surprised and screamed.

“AAAAAHHHHH!!!”

Jake quickly lifted his striped shorts again and angrily asked the woman.

“What are you doing here?” asked at the same time.

“Tsssk! I asked you first, ”What are you doing in my room?” Jake shouted as he frowned.

“Wait, what room? This is my room. I can even show you my school receipt.” Nicole proudly said.

“Aren’t you just making mistakes? It is impossible to be in your room because it is a men’s dorm! Unless…” Jake wasn’t able to continue what, he should say, he looked at the woman in front of him from head to toe and he stepped closer to her.

“Wait! Don’t come near me!” Nicole shouted in opposition.

Jake got closer to her; he stared at her again and touched her chin.

“Wait, aren’t you the girl at the bar? The one who kissed me?” Jake asked as he looked at her lips and held her chin.

Nicole waved Jake’s hand and looked her eyes in another direction.

“What bar? That was not me.” Then she pushed Jake, he slightly stepped back, then Nicole entered the bathroom again and she got dressed inside.

Jake sat down on the chair and waited for Nicole to come out again, while Nicole was nervous when she stepped out the door.

She also wondered why she’s here at Jake’s dorm. When she came out, she was dressed and took her suitcase; Jake’s gaze followed her as he sat in the small chair next to the table.

“Can I leave my things here? I’ll just need to go to the Admin.” she pleaded with Jake.

“Okay then.” Jake’s short answer.

Then Nicole hurriedly out of the room and went to the Admin office to check her correct dorm number.

She talked to the Admin who takes care of the dorms.

“Excuse me Ma’am; can I please check my dorm number? I went to the men’s dorm.” said Nicole.

“Ah, okay, I’ll check it, just give me a moment.” she said and immediately checked their system.

“Your room number is correct.” she said.

“But Ma’am, I went to the boy’s dorm, can I be transferred to the girl’s dorm.” Nicole pleaded.

“I can’t move you anymore because the girl’s dorm is full.” she said.

“What? What should I do now?” Nicole asked.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do anything.” she told her.

“Wait Ma’am, how could it be? I have no place to stay, and how did I get to the boy’s dorm, my name is Nicole.” she asked again.

“Uhm, it shows Richard Nicole here, so I thought Richard was your name.” she said as she handed her the receipt.

“Huh?! Oh no!”

“Whether you like it or not, it will be your assigned dorm, just stay there for now, rather than have no place to sleep tonight. Or if you want, if you still have money, you can rent a room outside the school.” she said.

“Huh, I don’t have money to pay for a room.” she answered in a low voice.

“If that’s the case, then just stay in that dorm.” she said.

“Wait Ma’am, my roommate is a guy if I will keep that dorm, isn’t it forbidden and what if that man did something wrong with me?” Nicole asked.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone where your dorm is,” and looked at her from head to toe before continuing to speak, “and I think, you’re not Jake’s type, so don’t worry, you are safe there!” then winked at her.

“But Ma’am – ”

“Go ahead, I still have a lot to do.” She commands Nicole.

Nicole sadly left the Admin office, shrugging her shoulders. She slowly walked back to the dorm. When she reached the front door, she hesitated to open it; she leaned on the side wall first before thinking again.

“Haist, Nicole, why are you so unlucky?!” throbbing she said to herself.

“With so many people in this world, why is my roommate Jake? The man that I kissed?! Waaa!!!” she asked herself.

She doesn’t have a choice but to get inside and face Jake. She took a deep breath and knocked first before entering.

She saw Jake just finished taking a bath and wiping a towel on his head. She was standing behind the door.

“Oh, what did the Admin say?” Jake asked Nicole.

“Uhm, since the girl’s dorm was already full, I can’t move anymore.” she said calmly.

As Jake steps closer to her, he said.

“So, it means – ”

“Yes, I will be your roommate.” she quickly added to what Jake had to say.

Then she went to her bag and hid the receipt. Jake took a piece of paper and wrote down something. He gave it to her.

“These are my rules here, please just read them and stick them on the wall so you can always remember.” After saying this, he hung the towel on the balcony.

Nicole began to read the rules and sat down next to the table.

“Rule no. 1 – No loitering, no. 2 – Jake will take a bath first in the morning at 5:30 a. m. Wait, why 5:30 a. m.? How many hours do you take a bath?” she curiously asked.

“Uhm, 30 to 45 minutes, I think?” Jake answered.

“Wait, I will be late on my first subject if you take a bath that long!” Nicole disagreed.

“Eh, what time does your class start?” Jake asked.

“Six a. m., so I’ll be late, I will take a bath first.” Nicole’s suggestion.

“No! All right, I’ll wake up early… about 5:15 a. m.” said Jake.

“Okay then.” She agreed and then she resumed reading.

“Number 3 – Nicole is the room cleaner, bathroom and garbage collector every morning. Wait, why is it all me?” she asked in astonishment.

“Hmm, why are you?” Jake slowly approached her, while clutching at her shorts and staring at her.

“As far as I can remember, you humiliated me at the bar last week and you even said, you will bury me alive and send me to hell. Is that right?” Jake smirked, as he stared at her and slowly bent down, Nicole bent down too and covered her face with both hands.

“Haist, all right I will do it. What is the garbage pick-up time? Nicole asked while still not looking at Jake and just set her eyes on the paper.

“Every morning, before you go to your class, you have to throw it outside, there is a trash can there.” Jake said to her.

“Okay, then… Number 4 – no guest (girl or boy), hmmp, it’s okay, I don’t have a boyfriend.”

Jake smiled at what she said and looked the other way.

“Number 5 – it is forbidden to tell others who I am with in the dorm and what room number I am. Okay fine, I also don’t want to tell others that I am with you!” Nicole sighed.

“Number 6 – it is forbidden to touch things that do not belong to you. Whoever violates these rules will be punished. Wait, this is all in favour of you, your rules are very unfair!” Nicole complained.

“Okay, you can add it if you want,” said Jake.

“Good, I will add my rules.” Then she wrote it down and gave it to Jake. Jake read it.

“Number 7 – no noise when studying. Number 8 – no snoring when sleeping? Wait, how will you know that I am snoring if you are sleeping too?” Jake asked.

“I will simply know it, because I wake up easily and I will definitely wake up when you snore.” Nicole replied.

“Number 9 – it is forbidden to go home late at night. Number 10 – it is forbidden to go home drunk. Wait, here at number 10, it looks like you will break it, are you sure about it?” Jake assured.

“Of course! I will never drink again!” Nicole proudly said.

“Well, let’s see.” Jake just smiled, and then handed the paper back to her.

Nicole posted the paper to the wall to make it easier to see.

“Just sleep here at the lower bed and I will take the upper.” Jake said and handed her a blanket and pillow.

“Thanks!” she answered shortly.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Okay.”

Then Jake left the room. Nicole, on the other hand, arranged her other belongings.
