Day Ten…
~~*****~~
Abigail was resting inside her room when Bam-Bam appeared, visiting her and at the same time, checking on her. He witnessed a portion of the things that happened in VIP suite #401. But he wouldn't tell Abigail about the most exciting part.
"How are you?" Bam-Bam asked Abigail as he flew towards her. Abigail put down the book she was reading as soon as she heard Bam-Bam's voice. When she looked up, Bam-Bam was already flying around her.
"I'm fine but I'm not in the mood. Nathan just left and went abroad without talking to me." Abigail held one pillow tightly, squeezing it in her grasp as she imagined that it was Nathan whom she was squashing in her hands.
Bam-Bam covered his mouth using his paw to hold his laughter. Abigail looked like a child who was throwing a fit right now.
"What happened between the two of you?" Bam-Bam asked, testing her. He wanted to know if Abigail remembered what she said and what she did inside that room.
"I had a nagging feeling that Nathan did something to me that's why I couldn't remember anything. Or perhaps, I blacked out once again and lost control of this body because of the real Abigail. Was she trying to regain her body back? Where is her soul by the way?" Abigail asked a very interesting question to Bam-Bam.
Bam-Bam smiled sheepishly as Abigail had a sharp mind. She could easily suspect something and catch up with something.
"Don't worry, Master. You didn't black out because of the real owner of that body. She is not here. In fact, the reason why I am not always around you is that… I am searching for her wandering soul. I have to find her before you can accomplish your mission and return back to your original body." Bam-Bam informed her.
"Why? Where did her soul go?" Abigail asked Bam-Bam, a puzzled look resurfacing on her face.
"It became a wandering soul when I fused your soul in her body. Besides, she thought she was dead so she freaked out and disappeared. That's my assumption." Bam-Bam replied nonchalantly as if it was not a big deal.
"What will happen to her if she can't come back once I leave this body?" Abigail had become more curious about this phenomenon and strange situation.
"She might die… and leave this world for good," Bam-Bam stated matter-of-factly.
"Okay… I think you still have enough time to find her. " Abigail took a deep sigh. "I feel like I am not making any progress in winning Nathan's heart." she was disheartened.
But Bam-Bam's eyes lit up as he recalled the scene where the two kissed each other. He could tell that Abigail was making more progress than she thought.
"Just keep going. You are doing a great job. See… the devil is still letting you stay here. But you have to be more careful." Bam-Bam warned her.
"Be more careful about what?" Abigail's brows twitched in a slight frown.
"You almost blew your cover 2 nights ago. Nathan used a truth serum to make you confess and answer his questions. You probably don't remember what happened that night, right?"
"Damn! It's the TEA! I let my guard down!" Abigail cursed under her breath.
" I couldn't remember how I ended up sleeping in that room with my ruined dress. So I guess… not remembering a thing is one of the effects of that serum!" Abigail bit her lower lip because of that realization.
"What did I say to him?" Abigail suddenly became anxious. "What did he ask me?"
Bam-Bam told her about Nathan mentioning Stephen and at the same time, asking her about the commotion that happened in the Lady's room. He also informed her of the most critical question which made her confess something.
"He asked you whether you commit suicide or someone wanted to kill you. Then you answered him with this statement." Bam-Bam mimicked the words she said.
[ "Both are true! Yes, I committed suicide and someone wanted to kill me… and that someone is you! NATHAN, the Devil! I hate you!" ]
"Oh shucks!" Abigail hit her head and tugged her hair tightly when she heard that. 'I'm doomed!'
"How did Nathan respond to me?" Abigail asked him with utmost curiosity in her mind. She held her breath as she waited for Bam-Bam to say a word.
"Nathan got mad because you kept punching him and at the same time he got confused by your words so he asked you again whether you like him or you hate him."
Abigail was grateful that Bam-Bam was there, witnessing what happened. She could ask him for more details about the things she couldn't remember.
"What answer did I give him?" Abigail gulped hard, imagining that she and Nathan fought each other, that's why their clothes got ruined. "Did we attack each other?"
Bam-Bam let out a soft chuckle. 'Indeed, you attacked each other's lips after that! Hahaha! But of course, I won't tell you that. You should ask Nathan about it.' the flying creature thought to himself while grinning slyly.
"Ahem… you gave him a very surprising answer!" Bam-Bam intentionally stopped, to make it suspenseful. He wanted to tease Abigail by letting her overthink and guess what happened.
"What answer? Did I tell him that I hate him? It was a truth serum so there was no way I would tell a lie, right?" Abigail could already imagine how she answered him.
Bam-Bam chuckled once more, making Abigail more confused.
"No Way! Don't tell me… I told him that I like him?!" Abigail exclaimed with eyes open wide. She didn't know if that was the worst answer.
But little did she know she answered something that could make her feel embarrassed.
"Don't worry. You answered him differently." Bam-Bam's lips tugged upward in a teasing smile.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Abigail was losing her patience. "Stop beating around the bush! Tell me NOW!"
"You said… he is so handsome and you wanna kiss him!"
Abigail: "..."
'What the heck…! Did I really say that while I was under the influence of Truth Serum?' Abigail eyed Bam-Bam with disbelief. Her face reddened from embarrassment.
