Chapter 32 - Acting
Kira didn"t even know why he ended up running with this cheetah that was dragging him like they were currently being chased by some mad dogs. She was running so fast that Kira could hardly keep up with her pace but her grip on him was d.a.m.n tight. Kira even tried overtaking her so he would at least be the one to be ahead of her, pulling her, but what the h.e.l.l could he do when the girl before him was a certified cheetah? What could he even do when this girl is like this?!
"Hey! Aren"t you running too fast?! You"ll exhaust yourself like this!" Kira could only complain. He didn"t even know why he was letting a certain girl drag him like this. "Hey! Squirrel! Listen to me?!"
Zeri didn"t even slow down so Kira turned and when he saw that no one was after them, his vein popped and he suddenly halted, causing the surprised Zeri to crash on him. Because of the sudden movement, and his unfavorable stance, Kira lost his balance as he caught her and…
Tudd!!
The two ended up falling on the ground.
Zeri fell on top of Kira, pinning him down like a boss, while the poor young man was lying on the cold hard pathway.
When Kira realized what had happened and saw this sorry situation, he almost wanted to curse. What frustrated him the most wasn"t the fall or him ending up on the ground but was actually the fact that the squirrel didn"t even let herself fall on him. It even looked like she did her best not to fall on top of him by putting her palms on the ground to support her weight. What was she? Was she acting like a prince afraid to squash the princess?! Ugh! I don"t know what to do with this girl anymore!
While Kira was so frustrated that he seemed like he didn"t even want to rise anymore, Zeri immediately rose. Her gaze fell towards the direction where they came from and when she saw no one was chasing them, she sighed in relief.
She then looked down and when she saw that a certain android was still lying there, breathing heavily as he just stared at her, Zeri suddenly looked worried.
She quickly squatted down and held his hand.
"A-are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere? C-c-could it be that you have asthma and you"re not allowed to run fast?!"
The girl seemed to be suddenly in a bit of panic.
Seeing her reaction, Kira"s vein could only pop again. Did this girl see me as someone who was so d.a.m.n weak?!
Annoyed, Kira was about to rise but then something mischievous popped in his mind.
He then suddenly clasped his s.h.i.+rt near his heart and acted like he was in pain. "Squirrel, I can"t breathe." He said and Zeri"s eyes widened.
"W-w-what should I do?!" she started to panic.
"T-there are no cars here! What should I do? Tell me!"
When Kira saw that she was panicking more than he thought, he decided to soothe the situation.
"Help me sit." He said and Zeri immediately did as he asked. She even supported his back. She was holding his shoulder as she worriedly looked at him. Kira was surprised. He didn"t think that this squirrel, who was always looking at him like he was nothing, was now so worried. And somehow, he was touched.
"Do you still need something? Tell me. Should I call for help?" she asked again when Kira suddenly smiled.
"Hehe. Did I scare you?" he said and when Zeri just blinked at him, he raised his hand pinched her cheek. "I was just acting. I think I could be a good actor, right?"
As Kira was grinning at him, Zeri finally realized what was going on and she puffed her cheeks. The next moment she held both of his shoulders and then pushed him back on the ground, causing Kira to widen his eyes in surprise.
She glared at him and then she pinched his nose hard and without a word, she stood and was about to leave but Kira seemed to have finally learned and he quickly caught her wrist to stop her from leaving.
"Wait. I was just trying to calm you down, okay? You looked like you were panicking even though those men didn"t even chase us." Kira immediately started coaxing her as he stood up, not letting go of her when suddenly; they heard a seductive voice which obviously sounded like a man"s voice and yet d.a.m.n girly coming from behind them.
"Look at what we found. There are extremely cute, delicious pies here. Wow, oh my G.o.d, so handsome. Will you two spend this night with us?" he or she said and the moment Kira and Zeri turned and saw four, no, six men in women"s clothes, both of them took a step back, clasping each other hands tightly.
