Chapter 17 - Want this?

"Not bad."

Kira uttered. He was surprised with the taste of the plain and cheap looking sandwich he was eating. He didn't know that this uns.e.xy squirrel's sandwich-making skills were really beyond commendable.

As he savored the snack, he turned to her to start a conversation but he was again rendered speechless. He could see her chewing but he could no longer see the sandwich in her hand. What?! Did she just devour it within a blink of an eye?!

Kira could only look at her in disbelief. He only took a single bite of his sandwich and this girl already devoured all of hers? What the hell! What kind of creature was she?!

The astounded Kira only snapped when Zeri suddenly stood up. Thankfully, he managed to immediately catch her before she could walk away.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked with a displeased expression, while Zeri turned to him and stared at him blankly as she answered.

"I'm still hungry."

". . ."

An imaginary black crow flew above them. Kira just couldn't believe what he just heard that his hand, which was holding the sandwich slowly fell on his lap, as if he was suddenly exhausted.

When Zeri pulled her hand back, Kira quickly stood before her, blocking her way. He put his hand on her shoulder and then slowly pushed her down to take a seat again. Kira didn't remove his hand off her as he bent over the sitting Zeri. Their faces were just inches apart but as usual, Zeri didn't seem to care at all. Her expression remained painfully the same.

Looking at her face, Kira felt his energy disappearing into thin air. He had run out of any ideas. It was not because he was out of tricks to perform, but because he somehow felt like none of his tricks would ever work on her.

Damn, was my charm not working anymore? Me?! Impossible!

Kira was getting irritated. He was starting to doubt if he was still the number one heartthrob who kept stealing hearts wherever he went. He even thought that maybe, he was now losing his charm?

At that moment, Kira didn't move back. He remained in this position as he copied what this squirrel did to him when he first approached her. He raised his hand that was holding the sandwich while his other hand was on her shoulder, pinning her down. He then took a bite and savored the sandwich right before her face as he stared at her. Even Kira had no idea what the hell was he doing right now.

Kira continued eating in that state. His gaze was on her and her gaze was on his lips. Kira knew he should celebrate because he finally got her attention, but he also knew that she was actually not looking at his lips because they were s.e.xy. Her focus was obviously on the food he was eating.

"Pfft!" all of a sudden, Kira burst out a quick laugh. He just couldn't help but imagine a hungry squirrel swallowing her saliva as she begged for food through her eyes.

The next moment, he raised his sandwich before her face as he smiled. "Want this?" he asked. Afterwards, he put one end of what was left of his sandwich in his mouth and let it go as he moved his face closer to her, close enough that the other end of the sandwich brushed against her lips. He then looked at her with great anticipation as he waited for her to succ.u.mb to him this time because now it seemed like he had found a not-so-secret weapon.
