Chapter 21 - Kiss and Run

The atmosphere that was filled with extremely exciting anticipation instantly turned into a plain, vast wilderness with nothing but dust and wind, when Sei just walked away like a moving stone, as if nothing had happened. Zaki's shoulders fell and he wanted to cry so bad but no tears would come out.

He felt like he was lifted up to the highest stage of heaven by a certain monstrous being, just to find out there was nothing there but dust and wind. It was a completely inexplicable feeling of extreme expectation with extreme nothingness as result.

Why are you doing this to me?! He could only shout deep within him as he almost fell to his knees.

However, he was not the kind to self destruct just like that. He needed to at least do something to make the culprit pay even a little.

"Oi! Sei! Wait right there!" Zaki's voice was out of control. He could not accept the result he was given at all. He was still sure that Sei was just suppressing himself from reacting. Besides, he believed that the long silence after that kiss surely had some meaning behind it.

He then caught up to Sei and put an arm on Sei's shoulders as he grinned at him.

"Hoho, how was it, how was it? How was that flash kiss?" he asked in an intensely annoying way. Sei halted right away as he looked at him coldly, as if telling him to remove the arm around him or he could say goodbye to it.

"Oh c'mon Sei, just tell me, okay? Don't be shy. I know you felt something. You must have! I'm one thousand one percent sure of it! I am right? Right?"

Zaki's annoying voice, his annoying words and his annoying grin were like powerful forces that always made Sei feel extremely pissed off, to the point that his bloodl.u.s.t instantly enveloped the entire house.

"Look, you were obviously stunned and dumbstruck. I bet you with my own two eyes that the long pause, that long silence--- OUCH!"

Zaki's loud cry echoed inside the mansion as Sei tried to beat him with one hard strike, making him roll on the floor like a little kid being punished by his dad.

Still, Sei was pissed off even more because of this annoying guy's insane acting! He barely landed that blow on him and Sei knew that even his fastest attack will never match Zaki's inhumane speed, yet this guy was rolling around acting like he was in pain!

"Stop acting, we're going after her," he said. And Sei's words instantly made the rolling cinnamon on the floor stand like a soldier who was just awakened by his superior with some extremely exciting news.

"Eh? Really? Why? Are you worried? Wait. Do you miss her already? I mean, already? Are you serious?!"

"Shut up or you'll be staying here."

"Yes, yes. I'll stop now. Let's go!"

…

Meanwhile, Davi was still biting her lips hard.

The moment she kissed him, she almost couldn't feel anything but heat from her entire being. She felt her entire body blush, as if she was on fire. Her head was in chaos. She couldn't believe that she would react like this, all because of a single simple kiss that wasn't even on the lips!

God, what's happening to me? That was just a simple goodbye kiss and I'm already like this?

Davi was having a hard time trying to calm herself down.

She succeeded in executing her plan, but she miscalculated her own reaction. She was supposed to act natural but she ran away instantly, making the simple, cheesy 'kiss on the cheek' move become a 'kiss and run' case.. She was troubled about Sei's reaction but she was also troubled by her own reaction.

Ah! This is driving me crazy.

"Miss, we're here!"

The taxi driver's voice startled her and as soon as she stepped out of the car, she shook her head multiple times. She then started walking while trying to focus on the noisy yet colorful and lively place before her.
