"Wait a minute, I have to call my brother first, to let him know that I have arrived in the dormitory in one piece ... I'm afraid I will forget and make him worried," said Aleksis quickly. "We will talk again later..."

"Oh ... yes, of course," said Rosemary. "You can talk on the balcony. There is enough privacy there."

"Thank you," said Aleksis. She quickly went out to the balcony and called Terry from her phone-watch.

"Terry, do you remember Rosemary?"

"Who?" Terry asked nonchalantly.

"Uhm .. the woman on campus that you asked to be your girlfriend and kissed?" Aleksis began to sound furious.

"Oh, is her name Rosemary?"

"Yes! Gosh ... Terry, you have to think about karma, okay! Don't play with women as you wish. You can't just do as you wish. If you wish to fool around, please wait until I leave Singapore and return to Germany."

"Huh? Why? Why all of a sudden?"

"She is my roommate in the dorm!!!" Aleksis almost screamed, but then she remembered that Rosemary in the room may hear her voice.

"Oh ..." Smart Terry immediately understood what was happening. "Hahaha ... wow, sorry, it's not my fault that you get slapped by my karma now. Whose fault was it that I suddenly have a girlfriend ?"

"I know it was my fault... but I'm not comfortable with Rosemary if she knows that I'm your sister ... She has a crush on you for real, and from the sound of it, she has liked you for a long time. Just don't hurt her by breaking up with her after a few days ... Please, please do this for my sake ..."

Terry laughed happily at the other end of the line. He was pleased to know that this time he held an ace over Aleksis. "All right, I will stay as her boyfriend for one month, but you must obey my request ..."

"Ugh ... what is that?" Aleksis had a bad feeling. Her brother was quite eccentric and she was worried that he would make her do stupid things.

"I don't know yet. I'll think about it first." Terry smiled broadly, "Agree?"

"You want me to agree to fulfill one of your requests, God knows what, in exchange for you not being a jerk and play with Rosemary's heart? Do you think I'm Mother Teresa?" Aleksis decided she could not trust Terry.

"Well, then. Tomorrow, on campus, I will look for ... what's her name ... Rosemary, yes, Rosemary, and tell her that I was just playing with her..."

Ugh ... Aleksis felt she was given a difficult choice.

"Why don't you have any feelings for Rosemary?" Aleksis asked, "You kissed her already ?!"

"So what if I kiss her? That's normal ..." Terry said nonchalantly.

"How can you kiss someone you don't love?" Aleksis protested.

"Not only kissing, men can sleep with women even if they don't love them. It's just physical contact, it's meaningless," Terry began to sound tired, "It's late, I'm sleepy and tomorrow I have a presentation for my class assignments. I want to sleep early tonight."

Aleksis remembered Alaric's words who thought that kissing was the union of feelings and emotions with someone who were compatible with each other, which was why he had never kissed any woman until he met Aleksis.

Aleksis agreed with this and she had also read a psychological study which found that humans could indeed have sex without love, but it was not the same as kissing.

A kiss involved feelings. Many commercial sex workers refuse to kiss their clients so they do not use their feelings when doing their jobs, because kissing could bring love. Of course, they didn't want to fall in love with clients who screw them just for physical release.

Aleksis felt a little disappointed because Terry really didn't care about Rosemary and could easily kiss her without even knowing her, while the girl actually took Terry's kiss with all her heart.

Aleksis felt ashamed to have such an ignorant brother. Inwardly, she missed Alaric whom she thought treated women well and respectfully.

"Uhm ... let me think about this first," Aleksis finally said, "You don't have to decide on Rosemary now, okay ... Tomorrow I'll tell you my decision ..."

"Okay, then I'll wait. Good night."

"Good night."

Aleksis hung up. She almost returned to the room when she suddenly remembered to call Alaric.

"Hey .. haven't you slept yet?" Alaric's said on the other end of the phone. "What are you doing?"

"Thinking about you," Aleksis confessed.

Alaric burst out laughing. Gosh ... Aleksis really wasn't shy about confessing her feelings.

"Hmm .. thank you. No wonder my ears were burning ..." said Alaric in a joking tone, "Have you arrived in the dorm? How is your room?"

"Uhm ... not bad. I share a room with a sophomore too. The person seems kind."

"I'm glad to hear that. Please let me know your schedule tomorrow so I can send Takeshi and Mischa to find you ..."

Ohhh ... Aleksis almost forgot about her dilemma about the two sets of bodyguards who didn't know each other. She still hadn't found a way for them to guard her without bumping into one another.

She could only imagine Carl and Sascha's reaction when they saw two mysterious people trailing Aleksis everywhere. They would have thought that the two assassins from Rhionen were stalkers, and vice versa.

"Y ... yes ..." Aleksis answered weakly. "Uhm ... can you send me their photos to me so I can recognize them tomorrow?"

"Normally I don't share the faces of my men, but I will make an exception for you," Alaric said. Twenty seconds later Aleksis received two photos.

She was very surprised to see the faces of the two men.

Takeshi was a handsome young Japanese man in his early 20s who looked a bit like a nerd with his black-rimmed glasses, while Mischa looked just as young, but his appearance was very flamboyant and one would think that he was either a  model or a gigolo.

Were these the faces of the two most dangerous killers from Rhionen Assassins? Not at all as she imagined.

Her own bodyguards, Carl (actually named Karel) and Sascha were former captains of the Russian secret forces. They were in their 40's and they looked very intimidating.

If a pervert bothered Aleksis, the presence of Carl or Sascha alone was enough to make them tremble.
