Lucy walked out of Mike's room in a daze. She walked slowly like a zombie back to her room. Lucy ignored every person that she met on her way. She just walked and walked.
'Did we kissed just now...?'
'Is my first kiss with MIKE??!'
Lucy touched her lips once again. She has lost count, of how many times has she touched her lips, during the short distance of walking back to her room.
"Baam!"
Lucy closed the door with a bang and her body slid down slowly.
Lucy's mind recalled back to the situation in Mike's room.
It all happened too fast, and she cannot fathom what was happening.
One second she was crying, and Mike came to her, and pat her head... and then, and then...
Mike leaned forward, and kissed her on the lips?!
Lucy was too stunned to do anything, at the moment, the moment Mike's lip landed on her lips, she just froze and blinked her teary eyes as she looked up at Mike's eyes.
"You've stopped crying. It works!" Mike spoke huskily.
<span style="font-size: 1.0625rem; letter-spacing: 0px;">Ruffling Lucy's hair until it was messy, Mike stood up and he smiled sheepishly at her.</span>
"Come on, do you need my help to send you back to your room?" Mike asked Lucy. Like a gentleman should do, Mike offered up his hand to help her up from the sofa.
Standing up abruptly like she has been electrocuted, Lucy quickly answered, "No, I can go back myself. Bye!"
After that, Lucy could not remember the details anymore.
How did she manage to walk out of Mike's, until she arrived back at her room? She could not even remember the details.
Lucy felt ashamed of herself.
'<span style="font-size: 1.0625rem; letter-spacing: 0px;">Oh my god... I must have looked really silly in front of that man!'</span>
Lucy grabbed her hair with both hands, and she tugged at her hair, hard.
"Ahhh!! This is so frustrating!! Why, did I run away just like that? I should have acted cool, or, or, I could have slapped him! I bet, he must feel rather smug himself, to be able to tame a brat like me..." Lucy whined loudly alone in her suite.
Feeling down and humiliated, Lucy hunched her shoulders down, and she sits cross-legged on the floor before she continues with her ranting, "My first kiss!! My first kiss is with an old man?!!"
Lucy continues to sit on the floor like a monk meditating on the floor for almost 15 minutes.
The incident with Mike somehow shaken her heart more, rather than the terrifying incident that she has just experienced.
"Ring, ring... ring!"
Lucy was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. Fishing out her cellphone, she looked at the caller ID.
'Mom... Right, she must be worried about me.'
"Hello, mom? Yeah, I am fine. ...I'm in my room now. Yeah, nothing happened... Ok. You too, mum. Have a good sleep. Good night." Lucy answered all of her mother's questions like a robot. No emotions, in it, whatsoever.
Feeling somewhat determined after the call, Lucy stood up hastily with a newfound spirit.
"No, no, no... I must not let him feel smug about himself. It was just a kiss... I should show him, that it is not that easy to bully Lucy!"
Clenching her first, Lucy headed to her room and slammed her phone down on the study table. She is going to edit the interview with Mike and try to ruin Mike's reputation as much as she can.
"Just you wait!"
Lucy smiled wickedly at the thoughts alone.
-----------------
Meanwhile, in Mike's room, someone was so flustered and kept moaning with a low voice.
From afar, if people were to accidentally heard the voice, they must have thought a couple was making love.
"Oh Mike, Mike, Mike... you are so stupid! What did you just do?? She's half of your age dammit! Oh, God..." Mike's voice was heard, repeated, again, and again all over the room.
The voice sounded a bit erotic as his voice was muffled down by the cushion that was covering his face.
"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong!"
<span style="font-size: 1.0625rem; letter-spacing: 0px;">The bell of his house ringing. </span>
'A visitor? Who could it be? The kid could not be here again right?'
"Huh!" Mike panted, as he drew away from his head from the cushion. He breathed the fresh air once again before he started panicking.
Gulping hard his saliva, Mike got up from the sofa and dashed towards the intercom. He pressed the 'view' button nervously.
<span style="font-size: 1.0625rem; letter-spacing: 0px;">'It's her!'</span>
Mike quickly pressed the 'mic' button and speak up, "What do you want?!"
Lucy was startled, as she listens. 'Mike was panting? What was he been doing?'
"Open up. I need to talk to you about something." Lucy's hand was on her chest crossed over in a protective stance.
'What is this girl up to now?'
Mike opened the door just enough for his body to be visible from outside. He used his body as a shield, just in case if Lucy decided to barge into his room.
Mike saw how Lucy has her hands on her chest like she was protecting them from Mike.
Frowning his face, Mike barked, "What, are you going to say that I have molested you or something?"
'How dare, this girl show me this kind of behavior. It's not like I am going to devour her or something!'
Lucy blinked her eyes a few times at Mike. Mike's face was flushed, and his hair was disheveled, and the most important thing is, he is panting!
"Yo-You, what are you doing just now? I heard some noises before... did you..."
Lucy's words were quickly cut off by Mike's glare. Her feistiness was gone instantly when she saw his glare.
"Why, is it important to you, of what I have been doing just now? Tell me quickly, what did you want?" Mike did not give Lucy even a chance to speak another word.
Like an obedient child. Lucy dropped her hands to her side, and she lowered her head to look down at her shoes.
"It's nothing, it's just that... -what you did to me just now... -I hope... No."
Feeling like she was making a fool out of herself, for speaking incoherently, Lucy shakes her head left and right.
She lifted her head, and she looks straight at Mike.
"No-what-I mean-is-you-better-not-tell anyone-about-the-kiss!" The words came out rushed and Lucy sounded flustered.
Mike almost did not get what was Lucy saying. Mike scrunched up his face, and he stared at the young lady standing in front of him.
The words Lucy was saying seems to calm his chaotic mind. He smiled.
"You are cute."
"Wh-What?" Lucy's face froze.
Mike hugged Lucy, and his chin touched Lucy's hair.
Somehow hugging the young lady in front of him he felt comfortable and nice.
"I said, you are cute. Hei, how old are you?" Mike was still hugging Lucy when he asked the question.
Feeling something was wrong with Mike's action, Lucy pushed Mike away.
"Y-You!! you are not a pervert are you?!"Lucy backed off away from Mike and she put up the protective stance of her again.
Mike chuckled. "Fine. I will forgive you this time, because you are cute." Pausing his speech, he spoke again. "You should be around 20 plus right?"
"I am 20 this year! You, you old man, stay away from me!" Lucy ran away from Mike's door quickly before Mike could do anything to her again.
Mike giggled as he watched Lucy ran away. He did not realize that his action has made someone's heart thumping nervously.
Lucy stopped her running somewhere in between her room and Mike's.
"That devil! How dare he seduced me with his good look?" Lucy spoked out loud. Her face was flushed red, and her heart has been beating wildly.
Lucy gulped hard.
'That old man, his chest is so muscular. Did he worked out? As a mad scientist, I have never seen him working out.'
