My Future Wife Is Androphobic-Chapter 8 - Eye for an eye

Chapter 8 - Eye for an eye

Kira's hands were in his pockets as he gazed at the girl before him. He was full of curiosity about why on earth this girl brought him to this place. What was worse was that she was not saying anything again; she was just staring back at him with her signature blank look.

Gahh! Why is this girl giving me headaches just by looking at her?!

The quiet breeze in this mini forest caressed their skin as they both just stared at each other. If anyone saw them at that moment, they would think that they were young lovers meeting in secret, gazing deeply into each other's eyes, as if they were so in love that they needed no words to tell each other how they felt.

Unfortunately, the situation was actually nothing like that. Zeri was busy thinking about how to persuade him not to show that video to anyone. She was anxiously thinking about the best thing she could do or say to convince him.

Kira, on the other hand, was starting to pop some veins. He had been waiting for this squirrel to speak but minutes already went by and there was still no sign of her giving up on this damn staring contest. Damn! Squirrel, did you bring me here just to stare at me like this?! Are you really trying to piss me off?! What the hell is wrong with you?!

Face palming himself in his mind, Kira let go of a deep, quiet sigh. He didn't know why but he suddenly felt so defeated. This girl wouldn't even avert her gaze. It would be a different story if she was staring at him with hearts in her eyes but for goodness' sake, she looked like she was staring at a blank sheet!

Unable to stand this situation anymore, Kira finally spoke. "Don't you think it's time for you to speak? You have something to say, right?"

Kira still smiled even though deep within him, he really wanted to punish this uns.e.xy, strange squirrel.

Gladly, it seemed like Kira's words worked and the girl finally opened her mouth.

"Uhm… that… uhm… that video, please erase it. There was an emergency yesterday so my only choice was to escape. Please, don't report it to the teachers. Please." She pleaded. Her expression finally changed. She looked sincere and apologetic. She was biting her lip as she stared at him and looking at her at the moment, Kira's annoyance somehow slowly dissipated.

Kira then moved. His eyes locked on hers as he approached her. He looked pleased, as if the moment he was waiting for finally arrived. Kira was almost walking in slow motion. He approached her like the prince he was and the way he was gazing at her at that moment would surely have made any girl subconsciously step back. Well, that was what Kira was after. He was performing one of his so called lethal moves, so he could corner her and do the infamous kabe-don once she reached the wall behind her.

However, to his surprise, the squirrel didn't even flinch. She didn't move at all. She even met his gaze as if she was waiting for him to reach her. Kira's rhythm was a bit thrown off but he didn't stop, thinking that she might move back once he was close enough to her. But surprisingly, when Kira was just two steps away from her, the girl still stood her ground, like a tree standing strong before an approaching storm.

The absence of a reaction forcefully made Kira's veins pop as he stopped. Their distance was just a few inches away but nothing even changed in the girl's expression. Since Kira was young, every single time he approached a girl, they would start squealing or blushing like crazy, some even fainted even if he was still a meter away, so why the hell was this girl so unaffected?!

Even though Kira's kabe-don attempt failed, the young man immediately switched gears. He then lowered his face closer to hers with his hands were still in his pockets. He stared at her closely before he spoke.

"So, you are only here to ask me to delete this video to save your skin? What about the fact that you used me as your airbag? Don't you care about that?" he asked and the girl's eyes slowly widened. She looked really shocked.

"I… I… I am very sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't know that you were there." She said and her panicked expression caused a slight smile to form on Kira's face.

"Did you think that saying 'sorry' would be enough?" Kira asked again. At first, he thought about forgiving her without questions to impress her. But for some reason, Kira's hunch told him that this kind of strategy might be useless on this uns.e.xy creature.

And it seemed like he was right. As soon as she heard him, her expression changed again. Her apologetic look turned serious as she gazed at him. Kira was expecting her to plead some more and then his plan was to eventually make her be the one chasing after him.

But to his surprise, the squirrel moved and then walked towards the wall. She stood there with a very serious look as she looked at him.

"Since my 'sorry' is not enough, I believe an eye for an eye will speak louder, right?" she said and Kira's perfectly handsome face intensely frowned.

"You… are you saying I should climb up there and make you as my airbag as well?" he asked in a disbelieving tone and when Zeri nodded without any trace of a joke in her tone and face, Kira was so stunned that a laugh was forced out of him. T-this damn squirrel! How could she… Gahhh… I can't believe this…! How the hell did she end up with this kind of solution?! Was this girl actually just testing my patience or just taking me for a fool?!!
