Dancer?
(She’s too Perfect)
Episode 34

Maxine’s Pov:
I looked at him surprised.
Is he serious? I should spend the night with him?
B…But why?
I stared at him for a short time and withdrew my hand from his.
“Um…I’ll just get you something to drink” I told him and hurried out of the room.
G0sh!
I got into the kitchen and took out a bottle of water from the fridge and with an addition of a glass cup, I left and returned to the room.
He was still on the bed and I poured in the water from the bottle into the glass and proffered it to him.
“Please sir, you should take some water” I said a bit nervous as I held it out to him.
He sluggishly sat up and collected it from me, gulping it down afterwards.
I wonder what really happened to him. Who attacked him and for what reason?
G0sh! It was unbelievable.
“Thanks”, he mumbled as he handed the glass back to me.
“You’re welcome…um…is there something you need?” I replied and asked.
“Yes. You can help with some fruits” he replied and I nodded and left the room.
I rushed into the kitchen and opened the second fridge which was stuck with assorted fruits.
Hm. I took a tray and selected some apples, oranges and bananas. Then, returned to the room afterwards.
He was still sitting up and I gladly helped him with the fruits.
“I’m…I’m really sorry for what happened, Noah” I told him as he squeezed the orange into his mouth.
“But…why did they attack you?” I asked and he shrugged.
“Got no idea. Suddenly had a flat tyre on my way home and they just showed up from a car and attacked me” he replied and I bent my head to think for a while.
Hold on; flat tyre…
On his way back.
And Rex arrived as soon as he left.
His words:
“I’ve made sure of that”.
Could it be possible…
No;
Rex would never do such a thing. He’d never go to the extent of sending hoodlums to beat up his own brother. He wouldn’t, right?
Oh God! I’m just confused.
I looked at Noah and he was done licking the oranges and reached for the apples.
He just took a few bites from the first one and dumped it.
“Thanks. I think I’m okay for now” he said as he pushed the tray away and made to lie on the bed.
I nodded and took the tray, returning it to the kitchen and afterwards, I became a bit confused.
Was I to return to his room and keep him company through the night like he requested?
Or should I just go to my room instead?
I stood, muddled for a a long time and after a while, I decided to check up on him.
I returned to his room and met him already fast asleep.
Hm. Thank goodness. I just hope he’s a whole lot better by that time he wakes up.
I counted my steps to the bed and went to sit beside him – close to where his head laid.
I lifted my hand, not knowing exactly what to do – if I should touch him, cuddle him or something.
Geez! Maybe, I should just go to my room.
But…on a second thought, I think I see his reasons for asking me to spend the night with him.
Probably…it’s because something happen and he might need some help later in the night.
Yes! That should be his reason.
So, I need to stay with him.
I took in a deep breath and relaxed my back on the wall.
Well, I couldn’t think of laying on the bed beside him. So, I just decided to sit up. Just that… I wonder how I’ll be able to cope through the night.

Rex’s Pov:
?Yes, that was a great job” I smiled into the phone as I stood at the balcony.
?It was awesome. I’ll send the balance to you shortly.
?Okay. Stay tuned and I’ll alert you for the next course of action”
And I dropped the phone.
I took in a deep breath and smiled into thin air.
Gradually, I’m having my payback.
I just needed Noah to feel a little pain for all he’s caused me and its working out pretty fine.
Now, getting that crazy dancer is gonna be my next course of action.
Exactly.
“Rex?” I heard my name and turned to see mum.
Huh? For how long has she been standing there?
“M…Mum?” I called, feeling a bit surprised.
“Um…good evening”, I added.
“Yeah – evening. Is there a problem? I overheard you on phone talking about a job and action. Is there something wrong?” She asked and I itched my nape.
D@mn it!
Why the hell was she eaves dropping?
“Uh…it’s nothing, mum. Really. Its just…forget it; it’s nothing” I tried waving it aside, but she didn’t seem convinced.
“Mum!” I called and rolled my eyes.
“I’ve told you, right? Its nothing, really. Just forget about it. Please”.
She placed her hand at akimbo and sighed
“Anyway, just came to check up on you” she stated and walked back in and I exhaled deeply.
I just hope she doesn’t suspect a thing.

Maxine’s Pov:
I woke up hours later due to the uneasiness i felt and found myself still sitting beside Noah who was still fast asleep.
G0sh! The room was d@mn hot and my entire body was sweaty.
I guess its because the AC was turned off as a result of Noah’s condition.
I was sweating all through and didn’t think I’d be able to sleep comfortably.
‘Maybe I should take a shower’, I thought.
‘Yes, a quick one’.
I stood up and decided to make use of Noah’s bathroom since it was just a brief shower and besides, he was still fast asleep.
I got in and was amazed at the beauty.
Hm.
It was far prettier than mine.
The walls were tied in blue color. And the floors were HD wallpaper of a waterfall.
Wow! Incredible.
I looked around like an alien.
Then after a while, I took off my clothes and turned on the shower.

Noah’s Pov:
I woke up to the sound of running water from the bathroom and flinched at it.
I itched my eyes and sat up.
Who could it be? I didn’t leave the shower on, did I? Or could it be damaged or something?
Sh*t! What if it floods the room?
I struggled to leave the bed.
Hold on; where’s Maxine? If only she were here, she’d have helped me out instead.
Well, I guess she wasn’t comfortable spending the night with me and decided to sleep in her room.
Hm.
I finally left the bed and approached the bathroom to check it out.
