"DUDES! I KNOW I AM PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING BUT I"M NOT INTO GUYS!!" I scream.People have noticed but contrary to my expectations, n.o.body is stepping out to help.
"Wow! this really restores my faith in humanity"
"Guess I"m royally screwed now"
As I"m lamenting, extra number 1 laughs and asks "You think these people are going to help you little sh**"
He moves closer and swings his fist.
Seeing his fist heading towards my head. I notice that its not really fast.
Its slow actually. Really slow.
I watch as it moves closer taking in every detail of his fist and forearm.
He has bruising on his knuckles. Seems like he gets into fights often.
My own real peter parker moment.
*Bang*
"Ouch!"
I stumble back but still hold my footing firm.
I probably should have moved out of the way.
Extra number 2 takes this as his cue and starts charging towards me.
A wild left hook approaches and this time I side step him and dodge under it.
Surprised I actually dodged or surprised he missed. He takes another swing.
I slide to his other side.
This unleashes a flurry of punches which I duck and dive. Slip and slide.
He can"t get a hold of me.
I end up behind him and can"t stop myself from teasing, "Missed me "
Extra number 1 rejoins the fray and attempts to kick me in my ribs.
I really should start throwing punches now.
I grab his leg with my right and swing with my left catching him flush in the jaw.
Extra number 2 attempts to grab me from behind
I grab onto his wrist and use my free arm to hit him in the gut sending him to his knees.
Not forgetting about Extra number 1 , while he is recovering. And staggers to his feet. I spare no mercy and super man punch him. Dropping him instantly.
I turn to extra number three and wipe the blood from the cut that was opened from my lip and ask ," Are you entertained?"
"Huh"
"Are you not entertained!? Do you need me to play with you too"
He shakes his head and gathers his friends.
Watching them leave, the crowd that has gathered erupt into ravenous applause.
Irene runs into my arms and says sweetly, "You are my hero!"
She lifts her head and tiptoes.
Her lips inching closer and closer and closer. Till they are only a millimeter apart.
With the promised land in sight. I take the final plunge and
*CUT!*
Okay! so that"s not exactly what happened.
The truth is....
After screaming my lungs out , the three extras didn"t think it was worth the ha.s.sle anymore and just left quietly.
It does not make for a really good story though, now does it.
I was so embarra.s.sed. I turned the deepest shade of red I have ever seen.
Having all those eyes on me at the time just added insult to injury.
Not one of my proudest moments.
"I really thought you were going to fight" Irene laughs. "I guess I expected to much"
I pout and make up excuses, "I"m sorry that I can"t be cool like those MC in your Manwhas". Unfortunately I grew up wealthy. All my problems can be solved with money. I have never thrown a punch before. "
She smiles, seeing my ashamed look she decides to make me feel better, "Want to know a secret? I don"t like guys who fight"
Taking advantage of the opportunity I smirk, "Oh so what"s your type? Handsome, tall, smart and rich? Oooh I wonder where oh where you can find a guy like that."
She just shakes her head and looks at me, " Idiot!"
Seeing her attempt to ignore me and walk away. I grab her hand to stop her and she tries to pull it away.
I hold firm and she eventually stops putting up resistance.
She unfurls her fingers and let mine slip around hers until I could feel the heat of her palm pressed against my own.
We walk like that for a while listening to the sounds of the nightlife.
Once we reach the water fountain in the center plaza, I say "Before I forget, I got you a little gift"
Reaching into my back pocket, I pull out a thin rectangular maroon box.
I open it and show her the contents.
Inside is a silver bracelet with purple amethyst stones adoring it. It has a leaf like structure that reminds you of a intricate vine.
I remove it and place it onto her wrist ever so gently.
"Thank you, Its beautiful" She says.
I step forward and stared straight into her eyes.
"Not as beautiful as the person wearing it though"
She lowers her head to avoid my intense stare.
I grab her by the chin and move her face upwards.
I lower my head, bringing it nearer to hers.
"I"m going to kiss you" I mutter which causes her to fidget a bit.
I wrap my other arm around her waist and pull her against my chest.
I don"t even think, and just rely on instinct as I move the hand holding her chin to the back of her neck, feeling my way around her skin and finally kiss her.
Irene"s body immediately froze.
She never expected that I would do something so surprising at such a moment.
This sort of mysterious and wonderful feeling makes one feel a little intoxicated
When she comes back to her senses, she does not resist me this time.
Rather she proceeds to stand on her toes and wraps her arms around my neck, fully enjoying the moment.
We hugged together tightly and were pa.s.sionately engaged in the kiss.
It was as if time had stopped, and the rest of the world had become like air.
