章節 17: It's a tie
Celestia decided to put her luggage on Adam's room since this is also the only guest room in Ted's house.
Adam, on the other hand, did not complain since he knew the situation too, he's sure that he will not have any romantic feelings for that girl or any girl in fact. Although he is quite curious why Celestia took two days to return when she promised that she will be back the day before yesterday, he decided not to open the topic, what can change anyway?
An eerie silence can be heard as soon as Adam dropped the luggage beside the twin model bed, although it is called 'twin' its size is only fit enough for one person, even though Celestia has the option to stay at Ted's room, she deemed it as disrespectful to just barge in someone's room even if it is the room of her best friend. without permission. Sure, she has his cellphone number but the thing about forests is that they lack signal most of the time.
Celestia started unpacking her clothes the lights from her rusty cellphone is sufficient to see what she's doing. She noticed that there were three t-shirts and two shorts on the supposed to be an empty drawer.
"It's from Ted, he gave it to me before leaving yesterday," Adam said, surprisingly he initiated a conversation!
Celestia's lips formed an 'O' when she heard her boss speak. She can't help but laugh giddily when she recovered, she's obviously teasing him!
"How much should I pay for those words, mister?" the lady can't help but ask playfully hoping that this time the young man will not ruin the moment just like what he always does.
Adam, on the other hand, clicked his tongue and gave a small sigh before finally deciding to ride the kitten's joke, he will stay with her for a while so might as well get along just like a lion entertaining a kitten before eating it.
A small smirk formed as the thought plays on his mind unbeknownst to the shameless thought Adam is thinking, Celestia is still focused on folding her clothes, if it's playing a game, Adam will never lose.
"How about paying with your body?" Adam said seriously, looking intently at the woman who suddenly stopped folding, he slowly went closer to Celestia and even bending down to whisper, "We can do it tonight" his cold voice and proximity of their bodies send shivers all over Celestia's body.
She dropped the shorts she has been folding and stayed frozen for a few seconds before recovering, she slightly pushed Adam but failed to budge him.
"W-what?" she stammered, she can smell his addictive scent, it's bad for her heart to be with someone this attractive!
Adam even closed the gap between him and Celestia by moving forward and signaling to do a back hug but ended up caging the petite body of the woman.
By that time Celestia is already blushing hard, this is the first time she has been back hugged by someone and oddly enough, she felt cozy, as if that's the place where she belongs. The warm feeling surpassed the pain from the wound she still has from the 50 whip splash she received.
It's because Adam slowly moves, careful and attentive and she never felt special until that moment.
Unexpectedly, Adam too felt that hugging her is the rightest thing to do, as if that girl may break without his arms supporting her, he never felt anything this soft, this fragile. The evil plan he has in mind slowly faded and he has completely forgotten what he is supposed to do so.
"The weather is becoming cold" was all he uttered, still hugging Celestia and surely, the air started to thicken and blows harder than before, signaling an upcoming storm.
Celestia is sure that it was hot when she arrived a little while before but how come the weather suddenly changed?
She shoved off the thought, only the highly ranked profile from the empire can cultivate ancient powers.
Going back her mind screams, 'YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN ME A BLANKET' however her heart tells otherwise, no blanket can surpass his body heat.
Adam sighed in relief when Celestia did not inquire anymore, he rested his head on her small shoulders and relaxed his body by completely sitting on the floor.
He thought he can win, but he will just slip it this time, it's a tie for both of them.
With her heart pounding hard, Celestia continued what she's been doing, careful to disturb Adam's resting body.
