Untold Script

CHAPTER 1 TRANSIENT

A humid breeze of the summer season swept through my cheeks as I check my wristwatch.

"11:45 pm. It's time." I slid the hard piece of plastic onto my face as it covers entirely half of my face. I don't want to be noticed easily by the person I am preying on. The plan is set and no matter what happens I need to do what I have been waiting to do for years. Time may pass by but those memories will never be erased. They will never be forgotten.

"It should be done, tonight." Before the clock strikes at 12 like the Cinderella movie. But this time the means are different. The reason is far from searching for true love or asking your dance partner their name. I won't even be dancing with him but rather I'm keeping watch on all of his moves while dancing, of course.

I took one last look at the beautiful night sky view from my room at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne hotel. I closed the door of my room and finally headed to the elevator. It has not been long since I pushed the button of the floor I am heading to and yet there's this continuous pounding inside my chest. Luckily, I am the only person inside this elevator, the only one who can almost hear the loud thumping in my chest. As I inhaled deeply to calm myself down I am already notified that I have arrived at my destination. I got out of the elevator only to be surprised by the huge crowd. The hotel is fluctuated by many tourists and rich people. Well, what's there to be surprised? After all, it's a peak season. I managed to make my way to the front row and entered the door that leads to the hotel's function floor.

"Well, what would you expect from a 5-star hotel after all?" I roamed my eyes around the venue and easily found my prey.

"Would you like some drinks, ma'am?" A handsome man probably around his thirties asked me for some wine. He's one of the waiters for tonight's event.

I took one glass with me and slowly moved closer to my prey. Still an exquisite young man! How long has it been? How long has it been since the last time I saw that face? A sudden rush of electricity flowed through my veins as his dark brown eyes met mine. I instantly looked away making sure not to have a locking gaze with him. If I won't do it then I'll end up being his prey instead of the other way around. I don't want that to happen. The thumping in my chest started again. I need to calm down. Maybe having more distance from him will help and so it did. I sat on one of the chairs while breathing in a manner that can calm my heart down. I needed to execute my plan in such a way that he won't notice it and yet my mind kept on betraying me and so did my eyes.

One of the waiters approached me again for a drink and I instinctively took more than what I'm supposed to have. He gave me a quizzical look but I just answered it with a smile and then he left.

"5 glasses of Chardonnay won't hurt." I muttered to myself and took a sip from my wine glass. How many minutes have passed already? I looked at my watch and checked the time. It's almost midnight. Just a minute more and the clock will strike at 12 soon, a few more seconds before he prepares to leave the room. One last glance at him and his dashing black suit which really suits him well especially that burgundy color of his inner attire.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!" As the countdown ended I stood up and walked to where the people are going. It's where you can see the beautiful fireworks light up from the sky. Like it was made to color this perfect night. Everyone's greeting each other a happy new year and each of them removing the mask that covers their face.

I searched around and was lucky enough to spot him leaving the room. I touched my mask again just to check that it won't betray me by accidentally falling down from my face.

I followed the footsteps of the man who are a few strides away from me making sure I will not get noticed. But knowing he'll get in the elevator made me halt for a few moments. The wait made me tapped my foot on the carpeted floor to get into the next elevator. The elevator guy greeted me happily and asked for the floor number that I will be going to. He's in room 503.

"Fifth floor, please." I replied and smiled as he then pushed the button with the number 5 on it. I needed to look like I am wasted and drunk so how am I supposed to unfix myself when I have some company in here? Unforgivable, this is just so unforgivable. All my efforts should never get to waste. I must think of a way to unfix myself before I knock on his door. And to my surprise, I'm already on the fifth floor. I got out of the elevator waiting for the door to shut down behind me.

"I can't go back to my room and make myself look wasted then go back here. Even though my room's just a few meters away." But how am I supposed to do it here in the hallway, on the fifth floor?

"Well, here goes nothing." I slowly walked to reach room 503 while messing my hair a little and practicing my drunken woman walk. Luckily there's not even a single human being walking in the hallway too.

I breathed heavily and slowly counted backward starting from 10 before I finally managed to lift my knuckle and knock on his door. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

The door's about to open so here goes the first act.

He eyed me curiously, thinking, wondering, and before he even managed to speak a word I pushed him inside his room and kissed him forcefully. He's not responding to any of my kisses. Duh! Of course, because he doesn't even know who the hell am I! I felt his hands about to push me away so I kissed him slowly this time.

"Give me this for the last time." I whispered to his ear and then I was suddenly been pushed away but his hands held my arms tightly.

"You're drunk, miss." Well, that one looked like it worked but the thought of him saying that line first pains me. What else is left in here anyway?

"I'm not." I chuckled as I looked away but he held my chin gently and moved my face to meet his brown eyes. His left hand slowly made its way at the back of my head trying to reach the tied knot of my mask. I'm sorry, but you can't. You just can't.

I kissed him again and to my surprise, he kissed me back but his hand still tried to make its way to the tied knot of my mask so I grabbed his sneaky hand and placed it on my waist.
