-[Chapter 2: Fake Girlfriend]-

I wake up with Eve besides me. Her sleeping face was really cute. I know her somewhere. She's the queen of all the Nasod. She have the special power like I do. No one know that I have special power, I keep it in secrete, never told anybody. Some of my other friends know that I have special power because they have it, too. Of course, Eve have it too. And I decide to make her my fake girlfriend for my business with someone.

(If the business deal was over, I'll let her go.)

I sit myself up on the bed, stretching myself then walk over to the bathroom. I just wait for her to wake up.

(Maybe she is no use to me after that's over.)

I have no idea that she was up in that auction. I just thought that it was her power that is the reason she was up for the auction. But nah, I was wrong. She just clumsy, that's all.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the bedroom. "Argh… this is not a dream? Dang it…"

(Not a dream? Pfft… she still thinks this is a dream?) I laugh silently. (What a weirdo.)

"Oh, good morning," Her voice runs through the bathroom.

"Mornin'," I reply. "So, this is not a dream, you got it?"

"Y-you heard?"

"Yeah. You voice were so loud than a big pan hit your head." I laugh. "Very loud."

"So rude! I hope everything was a dream. At least I can go back home…" She sounds very sad. But I can't let her go yet until I make sure she wasn't trying to escaping.

"You can't go yet." I speak through the bathroom.

"Yeah… I know that. But can I go to work, though?"

"…Come when I page you." I open the bathroom door and walk away to the kitchen.

"O-okay! I'll come when you page me." She looks at her watch and hurried out of the door. I laugh when I see how hurry she was.

I come down to the penthouse lobby. The guys were playing cards again. When they notice me, Ota is the first one who greets me. "Elsword! Play card with us."

"Um… okay." I go down to them and normally, 3 women come here to play card with us. It was Baba's. It's his women. 3 of them.

"Well, well. You guys are good, too." Baba sounds disappoint. "Looks like you will win this round…"

"Of course! I'm so good at card game." Ota smile.

"Hm… Where's Kishi?" I ask.

"Mamo out for his work as a detective," Baba sighs. "He never gets to play card with us…"

"He got busy all the time. It's normal." Eisuke smirk. "But where's the woman?"

"What, you didn't see her?" I said. "If she's going to go out of here, she only have to come down here so she can get out of this penthouse."

"Well, that woman might walk tiptoe, so that all of us didn't notice." Soryu said. "Or maybe she has escape out of here."

"Well, I didn't even notice 'cause we were playing cards." Ota said. "Elsword, just go search for her. If she escapes, you'll be in a lot of trouble."

I sigh. "That girl… if I find her, I'll punish her for sure."

"Or give her to me if you want." Baba smirk.

"As if I would." I laugh. "Well, got to go."

I hurry walk out of the door while they keep playing cards. I just don't trust her yet. If she's escape, the $20 million will be all waste.

I walk down the stairs and look around for Eve. I see her carried bed sheet. I breathe deeply in relieve. Just then, a groupie runs towards me, their faces appear to be a fangirl's face.

"Eeeeekkkkk! Elsword's here!"

"The one who live in the penthouse!?"

"Oh my god, he's hot!"

(Er… crap. I have to go.) I start to run. But it's too late. They run toward me, surrounded me before I could escape from them.

"Oh my god! I can't believe I would meet you like this!"

"It's an honor!"

"Um…"

"Oh! Can I take a picture with you?"

"What?! How dare you say that!"

"I am the one who got to take a picture of him!"

"No, I am!"

(C'mon… this is why I hate women…) I sigh. I don't even know that Eve stares at me. She gives the signal of something. She said something, "…Run-to-the…penthouse?" I say.

(Oh yeah. No one is allowed to go up there.) I laugh silently. I decide to take a step back while the arguing still going on. I run back to the penthouse, smile on my face.

I go back in the penthouse lobby. The guy still playing cards. They all look at me, "Well?"

"…She still there." I turn my face away to the other side.

"Well, well. She is such a good girl." Baba grinned.

"Yep. Looks like pets never leave their Master no matter what." Ota smirk.

"It's good that she didn't escape." Eisuke smirk. "The money will be such a waste."

"Yeah, that's what I think." I said. "But nah, she'll never escape from here."

"Hm? What'd you say to her?" Soryu ask.

"I said that if she's trying to escape, I'll punish her." I smirk. "And she wasn't even tried to escape."

"Whoa…" Ota smile. "You look like you enjoy her."

"Yeah." I laugh. "Oh well, let me play card with ya."

"Go ahead." Baba pouted. "But you'll win. I bet you'll win!"

"I'm not that good." I sigh.

"So, did you decide to use that woman?" Soryu said.

"…Yeah. For my business with Nova." I said, "I don't like his daughter, though. Gotta bear with it."

"I heard that she likes you a lot." Eisuke said, "And she is fat. Like a pig."

Baba laugh in amusement, "Oh, Novia? Well, she's kinda fat."

"Not 'kinda', she's fat!" I sigh, "I hope she doesn't have interested in me anymore."

Then Ota tap his hand on my shoulder. "Hey, Elsword. How about calling that girl here?" He smirks.

"Oh…" I grinned teasingly. "Fine, fine… If you guys want to play her a little since she's going to be my fake girlfriend."

I decide to page her. Just within 5 minute, she entered the room. "Y-you called?"

"Whoa, she came running." Baba smile. "Welcome!"

"Hey, play card with us." Ota smirk.

"Er… you page me just because of this?" She ask.

"Yeah." I nodded. "And good job, you are here on time."

She sigh, "Sorry, what if I say I have work?"

"Then you still have to come and play." I smirk. "Rule number 1."

She groans, "Huh… You know what, fine."

(Hm… She's angry, huh.) I grinned. (That's normal for a nasod like her.)

"Here, come sit with me." Ota smirk.

She walks up to him and does what she told. She looks like she's tense. It's very funny. "So, what's your name?"

"Eve." She frowns.

"C'mon, don't be like that. We just want to play with you." Ota smile. "Hah… I feel so good when you frown like that."

"What, she looks like your dog?" Eisuke smirk.

(Pfft…) I almost blurt out laughing.

"D-dog?!" She gazes at Ota.

"Yeah! You two look very identical!" Ota laugh. "Especially when I pet you."

"You're kidding me…" She sigh, "Just don't treat me like a pet."

"Oh, we won't," Baba smirk, "We like to tease cute girls."

"Not me anyway." Soryu said coldly.

A Nasod queen sometimes has some flustered in her mind or even irritable things. I haven't told her about the business yet. I was just about to tell her when she got back from work. Maybe now.

"Eve, come with me a sec." I walk away from the group and stop on the staircase. "I want to use you for something."

"Use me?"

Her eye was full with doubts. But I say it anyway. "I want you to be my girlfriend."

Her eyes open wide, "You said what…?"

I sigh, "I want you to be my girlfriend. Is that what you want to hear it all over again, and again?"

"Excuse me, but what exactly kind of 'girlfriend'?" She asks.

"A fake one." I said, "For my business deal with someone."

"…Oh." She nods like she understands what I was saying. I smirk when I see her expression, "What, you really think I want you as my 'real' girlfriend?"

She narrows her eye, "As if I want that. Sorry for disappoint you."

"So you accept?" I ask. Then she nodded, "If you really need my help."

"Thanks a lot." I smile. "So, today is the day Nova come. Be prepare, got it?"

She nodded, "Got it… So that person name's Nova?"

"Yeah. He has a daughter that's going to come back here. His daughter really has an interested in me. So I have to have someone on my side." I smirk, "So that Nova doesn't get her as my girlfriend. She's really weird to me. I don't like that kind of women."

"Got it, got it." She sigh, "So, what did I have to do?"

I smirk, "Change into something else, we're going out."

"Er… okay." She then walks up the staircase. The guy looks at me curiously, but then smirk, "What are they doing, sweet talk?" Baba smirk.

"Dude, nothing like that." I sigh.

"So, what did you talk about back there?" Eisuke said.

"My business deal with Nova, she's gonna be my fake girlfriend, soon." I laugh silently.

"Way to go." Ota laugh. "But his daughter really likes you."

"Yeah… Pain in the butt." I sigh.

Soryu laugh, "…You'll enjoy it."

I bought her to the cloths store. The whole store was close just for me, so that no one can interrupt me.

(Alright… let's starts here.)

"…Choose a dress."

"What?"

"A dress, for a party today." I smirk, "Choose the one that are not making you look weird, not too much showing, not too much of-"

"Alright, alright!" She sigh, "I got it."

The owner of the shop shows her around and 10 minutes later, she starts to change dresses to another dress. "Hm…" I look at the dress that she was wearing.

"So?"

"Neh, makes you look fat. Next."

She frowns, but then goes back in the changing room. While I sit on the sofa, legs across, waiting for her to come out of the changing room, she says, "Is Nova in that party?"

"Yeah. And his daughter name's Novia." I said, "Don't try to get too close to her. She gets jealous so easily and loves to eat much food. Well, what do you think?"

"…She's fat."

"Totally," I laugh, "Don't make any weird face when you see her."

"I won't."

I always thought that she will look good in any dress. Well, maybe it's easy to find her the right dress.

2 minutes later, she came out with a black, skinny dress. "Well?"

"…" I look at it and sigh silently, "Not sexy, next."

She goes back in with a sigh. Again, 2 minutes later, she came out. This time she wears a grey, with a skirt. I stare at it and smirk, "We'll get this one."

"Of course," The owner smiles.

I look at Eve, "Change to your cloths. We're going to another store."

"Another one?"

"Yeah." I smirk, "But you have good eyes. That dress looks good on you."

"Yeah, thanks." She then goes back in.

The owner hand me the bag of the dress, then bow. "Thank you."

(I hope this works. I have to avoid Novia. She always pops up out of nowhere.) I sigh. (I hope she's not going to follow me everywhere if I have girlfriend.)

As soon as Eve came out of that changing room, I take her by the arm and walk to the jewelry store. The store was close just for me because I'm in Ichinomiya's group.

Eve's eyes were full with sparkles when she sees the jewelry. I chuckle when I see the expression of hers. "…Do I need these for the party?" She asks.

"Well, yeah you do." I said, "You'll look bad without jewelry."

I look at the necklets one by one until I found the one with the heart. I bring it to her neck and place it in her hand while she looking confuse. I look around for an earring and as soon as I think it suits her, I'm done for the day. I finish buying jewelry and ready to go to the party that Nova was in.

After she was changed to her dress, we went to the party that was set in the restaurant in the casino. We walk in and Nova greet us with a grinned, "Welcome, Elsword!"

"Thank you, Nova." I smile, then whispered to Eve's ear, "Eve, put your left arm on my waist."

"I have to do this?" She whispered.

"Yes you do." I chuckle. She do what I told her to and Nova laugh silently, "Who's that with you?"

I smile brightly, "This is my girlfriend, Eve."

"Nice to meet you…" She bows deeply.

"You too," Nova smile, then it disappears, "Novia is not going to be happy if she's find out you have a girlfriend…"

"Haha, I guess so." I chuckle.

After we finish our conversation, Nova leads us to his table. I sit next to Eve and hope that Novia isn't coming to freak me out.

(Don't laugh, don't freak out, and don't do anything. Just-)

"Elsword!"

Suddenly, someone's arm crosses my shoulders. "I miss you sooooo much!"

(…Crap. Argh, I can feel her breast on my back.) I sigh.

I hear a giggling next to me, I frown at her then she stop. "How have you been?! I haven't seen you like…forever!"

"Now, now. Novia, sit down." Nova pats his next spot and Novia sitting down with a smile on her face. She stares at me with a grinned. It's really creepy, I got tense. But then I decide to pull myself together. "H-how are you doing?"

"Great! I really, really want to see you and I did!"

She doesn't even notice that Eve was right next to me. She just keeps laughing like I'm the only one who was sitting with them.

(Oh well…)

"Eve, say hello to Novia." I smile at her.

"Nice to meet you…" Eve says. Just when she says that, Novia's face becomes clouded. "…Who's this?"

"This is my girlfriend, Eve." I kiss Eve's forehead. Then Novia's frown, "You have a girlfriend…? But before you aren't!"

"I know. Pretty fast, huh?" I grinned, "Well, what can you do about it now?"

Novia turn to her father, "Daddy! I hate this! You told me that he's single! Why did you lie to me!?"

"Little Novia, calm down. I don't know that he already have a girlfriend." Nova sigh, "I'm so sorry, sweetie."

(Pfft… how cool, they talk like that.)

"Hmph!" Novia pouted. "I can't believe such a woman…would date a hot guy like Elsword."

I can see on my side that Eve almost groans. I guess she kinda hold it in. I almost burst out laughing of hers.

Nova decides to order some expensive food to this table and we start to eat and chatting. Novia eats like a pig, but I can't say that if I did, Nova is going to be mad and our business is gonna be over. What I can do right now is just think what I can't say.

(Yeah, I always thought like that.) I chuckle, (She eat so fast like a fat pig.)

It looks like Eve was thinking about it too because I kinda hear her giggling. "What, you know that already?" I whispered to her.

"Pfffttt… Of course, I know that already." She giggles.

"Didn't know you can giggle like that." I smirk.

"Stop it." She sighs.

"Hey, what are you talking, whispering to each other?" Novia glance over at Eve with a frown look on her face.

"…Nothing at all." Eve force a smile, but then Novia sigh. "Why did Elsword have to be with such a girl like you…?"

(She jealous again, huh…)

"Now, don't get angry, sweetie. Let's enjoy our meal." Nova smile.

Eve stand up to her feet, "I have to go to the bathroom." And then she walks away. Novia frowns and follow her. Something might happen after all…

I wait for Eve in front of the restaurant for like 10 minutes and she doesn't come out yet. I knew something might happen to her. Good thing I put a tracking device behind her neck just in case. It's really scary, these tracking devices… But it was useful sometimes.

(Hm… so where is she?)

I look at the map on my phone and she was in kind of a warehouse by the sea. Maybe Novia takes Eve to threaten her…

(C'mon. Why did she have to be so mad and jealous?) I sigh while I put my phone away, (I hate woman…)
