"Wah!" Tom took a deep breath, trying to regain his calm. Only by pushing Cleo away did he manage to stop her from suffocating him with her kiss. "What the..."
"You didn't like it?" Cleo asked, not allowing Tom to even finish his words. Her eyes were moist, yet Tom could hardly decide whether from excitement or from how she was about to cry.
"Of course I did!" Tom instantly rebuked, placing his hand on the girl's head and rustling her head. "How could I not?"
"Then why?!" Cleo shouted, pressing her head against Tom's chest and striking one of her fists on it as well. Notably, her right hand remained glued to the tip of Tom's weapon. "Why did you pull away?!" she cried out.
"Umm..." Tom hesitated before raising his face up and covering it with his hand. "I still need to breathe, you know?"
Cleo raised her head, looking at Tom's reddened face. For a moment, she simply stared at it only to lower it down and chuckle.
