Chapter 68 - Liking each other

Angeline's digital alarm showed 7.45 pm and she's still sleeping silently in her darkroom as she snoozes in peace. "Papa," Jimmy went to the library where Alexander was reading a thick book, covered with a transparent wrapper on the cover which he hasn't finished reading read yet.

"Did you see Angeline anywhere?" Jimmy asked his father. Alexander simply shrugged and continued to read the book. Jimmy roamed every corner of the mansion. He wondered whether Angeline had gone to the training centre or hasn't.

"Mama, did you see Angeline anywhere," Jimmy asked Katherine who's cooking a delicious butter prawn for dinner later on. Jimmy didn't stop searching for her and went out to search for her at the backyard. "Have you try to check her in her room?" His mother gave him a hint as she knew Angeline probably sleeping in this hour.

"Thanks, ma" He ran up to the 3rd floor and knocked her room, making loud noises which woke her up. Angeline was very angry. "WHAT?!" she shouted at Jimmy's face. Jimmy was annoyed and poke her forehead. "What was that all about?" she sat at the doorway, feeling empty.

Angeline sometimes can be very lazy AF. All she wants is sleep. "Did you know what time is it? You should be there an hour ago" Jimmy nagged and Angeline snapped from her laziness and look at the clock hanging on the wall.

"Oh shit!" On the speed of light, Angeline bolted to her bathroom and Jimmy only shook his head, looking at her behaviour. Before going to the toilet, she accidentally trips on her books which she uses in the evening. "I'm out" Angeline shouted from the door as she wears her helmet and starts the motorcycle.

The training centre is only 4 buildings away from the company and it is located on the corner. When arrived at the main entrance, she opened her safety gear and shook his head left to right to fix her messy hair. "Hello, Sir" Angeline acknowledged Albert Cassidy who is wearing a casual blue and white random patterns t-shirt and blue-black trousers.

Before saying a word, Albert took out a card that accesses to the headquarter. "Take this, and four of you can practice there," He told her, lending her a golden grey card that could activate the whole headquarter system.

"Thanks, Sir" she left him as Albert continued to teach the newcomer. "Angeline..., help me call Frost" he requested.

Angeline nodded and enter the locker room. The room has no bench or chair to sit on, so they have to sit on the floor covered with a mat. Kitana was sitting in the corner of the room, playing with her phone while Edgar was sleeping and uses Kitana thighs as a pillow. "So... what took you so long?" Kitana pretends to sulk.

"Sorry, girl. I kinda fell asleep. Somehow." Angeline awkwardly laughed yet Kitana ignored her. She apologised and persuaded her until Kitana look at her with a cheeky smile.

"Where's Frost?" Angeline asked. Kitana shrugged and told her that Frost went out just about 10 minutes before she arrived. "That's weird" Angeline confused and walked out from the locker room.

Kitana put her phone on her right and stared at Edgar's face. "Why I can fall for someone like you? You're cute... And I think I like you." Kitana murmured in Japanese while smiling happily as she was playing with his brownish hair. "Did you just say something?" Edgar replied. He rubbed his eyes and purposely face Kitana's tummy, snuggled comfortably in her embrace. Since Kitana is a Japanese girl, Edgar and the gang often speaks Japanese with her.

"N-Nothing... but I- I thought you're sleeping" She fluttered in shyness. Edgar likes Kitana's smell. Perhaps her perfume, soap, lotion? He just likes it all. "I don't understand, why girl talks so loud" he talked to her.

"You heard us?" she gasped. If he heard from the early conversation... that's mean he heard what she said just now. Kitana's cheek burns and she trying to push Edgar away from her thighs. "Edgar, I-I want to go to the toilet" Kitana pushed his head.

"Can you stop moving, Kitana? I'm trying to sleep down here" Edgar placed his head on her thighs again after Kitana pushed it. She became more uncomfortable every second with him on her. "Edgar!" she remarked and he sat down while looking at her. "Okay, I'm up" Edgar took a position where he leaned against the wall on her right separated by Kitana's phone.

So close, he stares back at Kitana. Eye to eye. Kitana can't stand to look into his dreamy eyes as if she wants to disappear from his sight.

Kitana took her phone and ran out of the room. Edgar froze for a while. "She-She likes me..." Slowly, a wide satisfy smile carved on his lips. He looks down on his palm. "Kitana... likes me..." he tried to process everything he heard, smiling alone in a silent room. "She likes me!" He falls on the mat and wiggled like a worm on a hot surface. Laughing and giggling, hugging himself happily.
