Keso walked in and saw that Kris was fine. His heart was beating normal again from the relief. He knew that he would have his head chopped off and experimented by Tye if anything happened to Kris.
"Are you okay?" Keso asked, still taking deep breaths from the long search for Kris.
Even after Lena tried to explain to them where they were, they still searched for a bit. The cops were already all over the control room looking at the CCTV from the shooting. Some of them were roaming around the hallways too.
Keso and James had to search for Lena and Kris in quick and act less suspicious.
"I am fine." Kris stood up from the bed. "You should have come here sooner though."
That was a lie. Kris would have killed him if Keso came any sooner. Kris walked up to the door.
"We can"t leave yet... there are lots of cops and reporters out there." Keso explained.
"What?!" Lena was surprised. Kris only punched one man... which person wanted to die so soon and called the cops on him?
"There was a drive-by shooting. Did you not hear the shots?"
"No. My mind was completely thinking about something else." Both Lena"s and Kris" mind had the same thought...
"Shooting?" Kris spoke. He walked over the window and saw that there were no cops on their side but all the perimeter was covered with reporters. "Must be someone high profiled who got shot?"
"Yeah, it was Tyler Huang."
Kris smirked. "Yeah. He can die for all I care."
Lena was thankful she did not stick around the man too long. She might have lost her life again. Lena walked up to the light switch and turned it on. She was now in a room with three handsome men... the G.o.ds were torturing her.
"I will go see if there is a clear exit." Keso spoke.
She went back and sat on the bed. She looked at the clock and it was 10 p.m. It was still a bit early for her bedtime... but with this morning"s training at the shooting range and then the emotional anxiety looking for Kris has exhausted her.
She laid back on the bed. Kris suddenly pulled the blanket from below her and she sat back up.
"You shouldn"t lie down here... it"s dirty." Kris spoke.
He was referring to the couple that was here before they walked in. He did not want Lena lying on other people"s dirty business.
Lena silently agreed and yawned. She stood up and looked out the window too. It was going to be a while before they can go out.
She took off her high heels and flopped on the sofa. She closed her eyes. Kris could tell that she was tired.
It was not until 2 hours later when the reporters finally cleared the area. Before that, they had all the exits stalked because they heard that there was also a fight right before the shooting between some top rich men. They had some names and was scoping out for them to exit.
However, when they heard that Tyler"s rumored girlfriend, Hazel Yang, the famous actress, and model was at the hospital, they had to confirm the rumor. Most of them left the area.
By that time, Lena was dead asleep on the sofa. Keso went to get Kris" car and drove it to the back. They decided that Kris" can just take Lena home since they live in the same building. Keso would send James home.
James carried Lena to the car and gently placed her in the back seat. He made sure she was seatbelted even though she was asleep.
Kris drove home and they separated from their bodyguards. Kris drove the car to park in the underground parking lot. He gently placed his hands on Lena to carry her out, making small movements to not wake her up.
However, she opened her eyes and woke up. She looked at Kris, whose body was hovering over hers when he tried to carry her out. She closed her eyes again. "Am I still dreaming?"
Kris poked her forehead and she opened her eyes again. She blinked and looked at her surrounding. She was inside and car and looked like they were in the underground parking lot.
"Are we home?"
"Yeah."
Lena"s face slightly heated up from the not so innocent dream she was had before she woke up. Seeing Kris so close to her face too, it did not help wake her up from her dream. Kris stepped out of the car so Lena could get out of it herself.
"What time is it?" She asked.
"Half-past midnight."
Lena did not expect to fall asleep so fast. She must have been really tired to be able to sleep on the sofa. Sleeping on the sofa was usually a hard thing for her to do.
Lena grabbed her purse and wrapped it around her shoulder. They both walked into the normal elevator. Kris pressed Lena"s floor and then his.
As they were in the elevator, Lena glanced up at Kris. She could feel her heart slightly racing. Kris was paying no mind to Lena at all.
Lena looked back straight and stared at her reflection in the elevator. She kept dreaming about the him lately... and just before, she could not even meet his eyes at all. And now, her heart was beating faster than normal.
She stole another look at Kris and then recalled the stuff she told Kris. Look at the person, touch your foreheads, think about the person...heart racing.... It could not be?! She needed to test it again.
"Lena?"
Lena blinked out of her thinking. She glanced up at Kris.
"It"s your floor, are you not going to leave?"
"Hmm?" Lena looked out and the elevator door was already opened. Kris was holding it for her.
"Unless you were thinking about staying over at my place again." He smiled at her.
"NO!"
She walked out a bit but then turned back. As the door closed, she stuck her hand to make it open again.
"Did you change your mind?"
Lena held the door open with her arm stretched out and she stared straight into Kris" eyes. "Just 10 seconds right?"
Kris looked at her confusingly. She was staring at him like a delicious prey.
She counted until 6 and then looked down. "AHHH, you evil person!" She turned around and ran away. She quickly opened her apartment door and shut it.
Kris was confused at her unusual behavior. He hit the close-door b.u.t.ton on the elevator before Lena decided to come back and do something bad to him.
Lena leaned back on the door and turned on the light. Her face was very red and her heart was having a seizure. She put both hands on her heart to feel how fast it was beating.
Then, she placed her hands on the sides of her face and screamed at the top of her lungs. After stopping to take a breath, her mind was blank. "I really like him...I really really do!"
