Chapter 400 - Body Lotion

"I've got a room. Someone came out just now. Tell her I won't stay with her tonight. If Tara is afraid to sleep alone, tell her to call me," Nico said casually.

Hearing Nico's words, Tara was so irritated that she got up from the bed and shouted at the speaker, "Are you crazy? Who wants your company? I'm more comfortable sleeping alone. If you were around, I would be even more scared,"

"Too bad, I wanted to protect you though. But it turns out you don't like it," Nico deliberately used a sad tone.

"Don't tease Tara anymore. Have you met your uncle? I'm really hungry now," Anya realized that it was lunchtime and this morning she missed breakfast.

"Not yet. I just took care of my room. I'll look for him now," Nico immediately hung up.

Raka, who heard the conversation beside Nico, immediately offered to help. "I heard that Anya is hungry. How about you go find Aiden and I'll bring the two of them to lunch first. We can meet at the dining place later,"

"No, no! You can't come out now!" Nico immediately stopped him.

"Why?" Raka looked confused.

"Last night, I told them that my uncle and aunt were showing off their intimacy in front of you so that you were hurt and checked out of the hotel early in the morning," Nico said with a laugh.

Hearing Nico's explanation, Raka's hand immediately reached out to poke the boy's head. But Nico quickly avoided it.

"Raka, don't be angry," Nico said, grimacing. He rolled over to the other side of the bed and continued, "You can hide for a few days."

"I rarely got on vacation, but now I have to play hide and seek with you. What would Anya think when she found out I left the hotel because of her? She must feel uncomfortable," Raka grumbled. "I'm really happy for her. I am also happy to see Anya happy with your uncle. It's not like what you said!" Raka immediately jumped on the bed and attacked Nico.

Before they could escape, Raka immediately caught Nico and their bodies fell on the bed. "Quickly call Anya and explain that I am still in this hotel. I can't keep hiding!"

"What if you start using a mask to go out?" Nico laughed.

Raka twitched Nico's ear hardly, making him scream in pain. "It hurts, it hurts! Stop it please!"

Two hotel staff were at the door when they could hear screams from inside. They were in a dilemma, not knowing whether to knock or not.

The hotel manager passed and saw them confused then immediately asked. "What's the problem?"

"This room requested room service, but inside is..."

"What's going on inside?" The female hotel manager immediately looked at the room number. She then remembered who ordered this room because Raka Mahendra was a fairly well-known person in the city. She thought something was happening inside and immediately knocked on the door.

Raka, who heard the knock on the door, immediately let go of Nico and got up to open the door.

Nico followed Raka out of curiosity trying to see who'd knocked.

Raka opened the door, while Nico put his hand on his shoulder. His head tilted slightly when he saw who was standing at the door.

They saw the hotel manager and two hotel staff standing there, carrying new sheets, cleaning equipment and so on.

"Come in!" Raka tried to get rid of Nico's octopus-like hand on his shoulder, but Nico hugged him even tighter. He brought his head to Raka's ear and whispered. "The hotel manager keeps looking at you. Could she be interested in you?"

Raka cleared his throat awkwardly. "Don't talk nonsense. Let's just go down and eat,"

Nico let go of his hand on Raka's shoulder and put on the sunglasses in his pocket. Raka had already left the room first and was waiting in the corridor. Meanwhile, Nico took his bag that was left beside the bed.

Before he left the room, he saw a suspicious trail on the bed.

He immediately caught up with Raka and said, "Raka, on the bed ..."

"I spilled body lotion on the bed earlier..." Raka said.

The two hotel staff who were standing at the door looked at each other while smiling. The hotel manager greeted Nico and Raka politely. After Nico and Raka left, the three of them immediately went inside.

"Why are you two smiling to yourself like that?" The hotel manager asked.

"Just before entering, we heard people inside say 'stop it' and 'it hurts' so we didn't dare knock on the door," said one officer as he walked toward the bed. Then he continued, "Manager, take a look at this,"

"That... isn't that body lotion?" The other hotel clerk said in disbelief. The manager's face immediately blushed. 

"No wonder they're that close. It turned out that they were a couple. Too bad two handsome men like them don't like women," one of the staff said.

Raka just realized that he left his cellphone when he was already walking to the elevator. It was still lying on the TV table.

When he returned to his room, he heard the three women discussing their relationship with Nico. He could only clumsily knock on the door. "I want to get the cell phone I left behind,"

The hotel clerk was immediately scared to death, while the hotel manager was frozen in place. She immediately rebuked the two staff and apologized to Raka.

"Forgive us. They just talk nonsense. Please don't mind them," the hotel manager looked at Raka nervously.

"Last night, I swam for too long so my skin was dry. I used body lotion earlier but accidentally spilled it on the bed. If it can't be cleaned, I'll compensate you," Raka said as he took his cellphone and immediately left.

"No, you don't have to. This can be cleaned up," the manager said quickly.

Raka stopped his steps and looked at the three women coldly. "Me and Nico Atmajaya have been friends for years. We often joke and tease each other. Eavesdropping on guest conversations and wanting to know their personal matters is not something hotel employees do. Looks like this hotel staff needs more education,"

"Sir, I'm sorry. I… " before the hotel manager finished speaking, Raka was gone. He didn't want to listen to them anymore.

When he returned to the elevator, he found Nico still in there. Apart from his friend, there was also a woman in a swimsuit and wrapped in a large towel. It looked like she wanted to go down to swim in the pool.

As if he didn't have any shame, Nico kept pressing the button to open the elevator door and waited for Raka. Nico made a small talk to the woman so as not to get bored.

The beautiful woman didn't mind waiting because Nico was very handsome. Seeing Raka coming, she was stunned to see him.

Indeed, handsome men were only friends with their kinds...

"Thank you..." Raka entered the elevator and thanked the woman for willing to wait for him.

"You're welcome. Do you guys have plans for tonight? They said there would be a bonfire. Do you want to go together?" The woman said, taking the initiative to tease Nico and Raka.

"I'm sorry, dear. We just want to be alone," Nico said while hugging Raka's shoulder once again and suddenly kissing Raka's cheek.

Raka's body immediately stiffened. The hair on his neck shuddered as Nico's lips touched his cheek. He resisted his desire to beat up his friend.

"Thank you for the invitation. But we already have a plan," Raka replied stiffly.

"You two..." the woman looked surprised, closing her gaping mouth. Her face looked stunned when she looked at Raka and Nico repeatedly...
