Chapter 122 - Lia and Kaleem!

"Finally. Our shifts have ended.

I love my job but I sure love some rest."

Exclaimed Kaleem, showing how tired he is. He has been working from 8am to 4pm along with Lia, Saleem and Jim. It sure is tiring but it is no doubt worth the time. Their job plays a big role in the development of Gaster Kingdom.

"King Michael has strict requirements. I saw 3 Black Marlins ever since we started this project. I could of speared them out of the Water."

Said Lia pointing out what she doesn't like about this project as if she didn't hear at all what Kaleem said, but he didn't mind. She is adorable.

"Last time you tried to fish out a Black Marlin you became Airborne "Miss Lia"."

Teased Kaleem as they were walking up the beach, witnessing the sunset coming down at 4pm. It is January after all.

Over the past month, although their lips never met, they have created a strong bond with each other. Escaping from becoming a couple for now and teasing each other as a form of love and care.

Apart from the teasing, no one understood Lia's point of view better than Kaleem did. They both have a "If you want it, work for it!" mindset which ultimately turned into a bond, bringing the two closer together and forming secret admiration towards each other.

"Miss Lia". You are acting like you aren't crushing on me. Call me just Lia! There isn't a need to be formal."

Lia was well aware of what Kaleem was feeling for him but she isn't used to this form of love or any other.

So even though considering the fact that she no doubt has some sort of feelings for him, she chose to take this situation slow although they never talked about it. Both were too shy to do so. But what's the rush? Lia is 16 years old and Kaleem is 17.

"Alright just Lia. How are you doing just Lia. Will you join me for some tea just lia?"

Constantly said Kaleem over and over aiming to annoy her all the way to her limits!

But of course she didn't just stand there while she got teased.

While Kaleem was running around her saying "Just Lia" over and over, with her foot she made him trip and fall face first in the sand.

"Some warm Tea sounds nice in this cold weather. Assuming either your father or Jim is in the same room with us."

With a suspicion face she stared at Jim, but she didn't expect anything bad to come from him.

"Don't worry about that. I like you, but i'm not perverted."

"Wise choice of words. Now give me your face i want to reward you."

She said teasingly as she puckered her lips aiming to more taunt him instead of actually kissing him. Even if she did, it would be on the cheek.

They are still just kids even though they have responsibilities of a mature individual.

"You have to catch me first."

As he stood up from the sand he started running around in Circles and then shifting in ZigZags in aims to avoid being kissed. Yes, they bonded that much. He avoided being kissed.

But as you might have known or probably tried, running in sand with heavy fishing boots could be tricky.

It is easier to trip. And he did, he tripped several times in the process of running, and Lia wasn't any luckier.

The fact that they were losing their breath due to the laughter made it even harder to run.

Every time one of the two fell down in the yellow clear sand, they both burst in heart felt laughter.

Lia finally managed to tackle Kaleem and suppressed him against the ground by sitting on his chest and keeping his arms down with her hands. He could easily break free. He is a boy who fisted down a Watch Tower. Tipping a girl or any person in general over and running away is no doubt easier.

"You caught me. Poor me."

The obvious sarcasm was noticeable. He might have surrendered on purpose.

"Don't act like you aren't enjoying this. You slowed down on purpose!"

"Punish me then."

"Sure!"

Afterwards she slowly grabbed his hands and lifted them above his chest, leaning in for a kiss.

But it was a trick!

Using his own hands she made him slap himself and kept saying

"Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself!"

Again he allowed her to do so, it was just harmless fun and it would be rude if he overpowered her every time, making her feel weaker.

He doesn't want to risk anything that would lead to spending less time or activities with her.

Alright alright. Now let's go get that tea, this sand is freezing cold and i think i ate some!"
