"And you thought it was a wonderful idea to bring him over? When I clearly told you I wanted to get away from him?"
"I was dragged over, I didn't have a choice!"
"You wouldn't had you not told him where I was."
"Was I supposed to lie?"
"Of course not, oh holy one. You can at least play dumb about it!" Nova walked out of the closet which had most of its content scattered about on the ground instead of inside.
"That's deception." Freddie said as if disgusted by the sheer idea of it. She was laying on her stomach clicking away on her phone with legs up in the air not paying attention to a bewhildered Nova.
"Oh my god." She can't take this anymore. Her stomach is starting to hurt from the constant bickering. "You know what, I don't care. Just off my bed and help me arrange my bags." Nova said as she massaged her temple.
"Why would I do that?"
"That's my compensation."
"I went shopping with you yesterday as compensation."
"You think hours of leaching off my money would compensate the heart attack I almost had when I saw that monster?"
"I didn't like him either, but I was the one forced to live with him! And I didn't die."
"How is that.."
"...umm, Miss, where do I put this?" Maxim cut her off holding a white lacy underwear with a red face.
"Into the trash bag!" Nova's face paled at the flimsy thing that left nothing for imagination. "Freddie, how many times have I told you not to buy such things!" Maxim jumped at the loud shriek dropping the innocent cloth as if it burned him and ducked into the other bags.
The culprit just wiggled her brows playfully, twirling the pink string weaved in her long brown hair. She had a bunch of colorful strings in her curls emphasizing her femininity. With her long, smooth slender legs, pretty face and a beautiful pink lips, Freddie is a natural beauty. But she is a boy.
With a natural blush and a sweet, melodious voice, Freddie is more feminine than the average girl, but she is a boy.
"You...you shameless crossdressing priest boy!" Nova wheezed holding her stomach. The scream left her injury hurting and sat on the bed leaning back on a pillow.
"Violet Nova Nightowl, you did not just used the B word." Freddie cried lunging at the girl only to be dragged back by the neck of her dress by an angry Maximus.
"Miss Nova is still recuperating, no rough plays. Besides, it's already pass twelve, please go back to your apartment before Oga come banging on our doors. I would prefer to not see him anytime soon." He picked her up and walked out of the room.
"No... Wait. Okay I get it, I won't hurt her. Put me down Max!"
Freddie yelled and kicked, her white polkadot cladded legs exposed out of her pink yakuta but the guy paid her no mind only stopping outside the apartment and locking her out.
It has been three days since Nova stabbed herself. Three days since she passed the mission, two days since her Oga induced minor panic attack and a day since she was discharged from the hospital. After leaving the hospital, she went straight to shopping with Freddie and the boys, and was now packing her stuffs to move out of the city. She decided to bring the boys along before they figure out what they want to do with their lives. It was only fair since they helped with the success of the mission.
Freddie on the other hand, can go back to town T along with Oga. She wouldn't repeat the mistake of telling the girl her new destination again.
Her stab still ached whenever she stress her stomach, but is okay most of the time.
"He is gone." Maximus return back with an annoyed look on his face. The loud banging on the doors clearly said otherwise, but the boys didn't like her friend. They only put up with Freddie because of her.
Nova smiled and shook her head muttering a small thanks as they continue to pack their bags.
They were still wearing their disguise, too busy celebrating to take them off. But since Mr Pierce is likely still busy clearing things up, he won't have time to bother with them at the moment. The news said nothing about the incident, which meant one more issue he had to deal with to not tarnish their image further.
Sucks to be him.
"Miss Nova," Maxwell jumped on her bed making her bounce with a yelp.
"What is it." She groaned sitting up. Maxim, with a face still warm from the incident earlier appeared from the bathroom holding his phone.
"What?"
"Umm, grampa just called."
"Ah?"
"Err.. that Mr Benjamin invited you over for lunch at beika hotel at 1pm."
"Huh? What else does he want. The mission went successful didn't it?"
"Yes, he wanted to thank you in person."
"If he wants to thank me, he have my bank details. Is it because I didn't charge him for misinformation he provided that he felt the need to make my life miserable now? Seriously, is he so bitter at the prospect of Mr Pierce's happy life that he needs to wreck so badly? I don't have time for some crazy ass jealous boyfriend!"
"That.. umm I don't know."
"Duh? I wasn't asking you, dumbass."
"At least I have always backup your ass.
"What is that?"
"Nothing!"
"Seriously, what's the guy's problem?" Sure, he was her ticket to freedom, but Nova is sure if she linger around more than necessary, she would end up getting caught up between whatever crises goes on with the two. Whatever history they had together, she wants nothing to do with it.
"Miss.."
"Alright, have Maximus start the car, I'll be ready in a minute." She sighed disappointedly. She couldn't not accept his invitation and he knew that, but he could have at least informed her beforehand. She is supposed to be enjoying bedrest! On her soft, fluffy bed.
"Miss.."
She groaned. "I'm getting up, Jesus."
