章節 36: Bump
Keira, who fell asleep suddenly woke up because she felt the urge to pee.
She bit her lips when she realized that she was on top of Zach.
'Urgh, this is too bold, Keira!' She scolded herself but then she felt happy, knowing that Zach seemingly remained still all the while she was asleep given to their awkward position.
'This is better than cuddling my big teddy bear. He smells really nice.' She giggled unconsciously at the naughty thought.
"Are you already awake?" Zach murmured, and Keira was startled because she thought Zach was asleep somehow.
"Oh yes, I am… I'm so sorry…" Keira apologized as she tried to move up and she ended up sitting on Zach's waist.
Unaware of the more awkward position she just shifted to, Keira smiled at Zach and said, "Sorry, how long did I sleep? Wait... what's that?"
Keira naively asked and looked down because she felt a bump where she was sitting.
Zach gulped and abruptly raised his body up.
Keira twitched her mouth when she realized what was that bump and she whispered, "Ohhh I'm sorry."
Zach could no longer take all of that temptation and said, "Please, get off from me."
Keira's eyes widened when she understood what Zach meant. She was still on his lap and their position was really not a good sight, so she jumped off and fixed herself to sit properly.
"Uhm, sorry again. How long did I sleep?" She asked again to change the humid ambiance in the room. She was embarrassed by her ignorance and slowness on such a thing.
She heard Zach sigh and then he said, "Two hours and fifteen minutes."
"That long? How about you? You're awake that long or did you fall asleep too?" Keira asked in surprise. She couldn't believe that she managed to sleep that long.
Zach tried to hide his weary look.
'Did you really think I could sleep in that kind of position?' He wanted to voice out and add what kind of torture he felt for those two hours and fifteen minutes.
"No, I did not sleep because you are too heavy," he answered instead.
"What? I'm not heavy at all…" Keira defended with pouted lips but then she paused, trying to recall what was her last weight.
Zach was amused as he observed Keira's childish behavior.
'She's cute,' he thought suddenly but then brushed it off and said, "Can we already take off the handcuffs so we can at least move comfortably."
"Oh yeah, right… You should have woken me up." Keira said as she picked up her purse to get the key.
Zach wanted to say, 'Yes, I've tried to wake you up several times, but you did not budge at all.' But he chose not to say a thing and just let out a long, deep sigh.
The last two hours and fifteen minutes were more torturous than the actual battle he's been to his whole life.
...….
"What is wrong with your friend?" Torin whispered when Lana left for the restroom.
He noticed that Lana kept on distancing herself from him like he was some kind of a patient, having a contagious disease.
May laughed. "Don't mind her. She's just not used to spending time with a man." She said as she drank her glass.
Torin creased his forehead in disbelief. With twitched mouth, he complained, "But you have a male friend?"
May almost burst her drink at Torin's face.
"You mean Drey? Oh yeah, right… Hmm, Drey is a special case. Lana is really aloof with boys. I think she's a late bloomer type." May explained simply which confused Torin.
"Is there such a thing like that on women?" Torin gasped in shock because it was the first time he heard something like that.
Lana, who was already back, heard May's casual comment, "Nah, I simply know with a glance if I should avoid the man or not. You know how I hate playboys above all."
Torin's face reddened in embarrassment.
'Is she referring to me?' He mused as he tried to give Lana his most charming smile.
"But I'm not a playboy," he defended. He saw Lana arch an eyebrow at him so he zipped his mouth and did not say anything more.
He could feel that he would not win a debate with her. So he changed the topic instead.
"Have you guys received the result of the exam?" He asked cheerfully, trying to kill the tension between him and Lana.
"Oh yes, all four of us have passed! Keira got a high score of 95, then Lana got 94. Isn't they all good? I and Drey don't care about our scores as long as we have passed." May answered.
Torin scratched his head as he looked at Lana. Between May and Lana, he was interested in Lana more. He liked how intimidating she was. He found it attractive.
"Wow, that's great and I hope you all past the next exams too. Once you get admitted, this Senior will always be at your help anytime." Torin said, trying to be impressive as much as possible.
"I wonder what help can we get from you since once inside the training grounds… I heard no one is allowed to give a hand and special treatment." Lana commented plainly.
Torin scratched his head because Lana was right. He might even be the one to be tasked to give strict training.
"Ahm… I can at least give you advice and tips? Or perhaps, I can make your hard training be enjoyable by adding color to your life…" he said meaningfully, as his eyes directly looked at Lana.
"I'm sorry… I didn't quite hear you. What did you say?" Lana asked and Torin, with pouted lips, ended up drinking his beer.
