Those thoughts worried Leonard 'cause his days were passing slowly. Yeah, it's remaining a good two weeks and four days before the quest expires, that might be a long time. But men, time passes fast, before he'll know it, two weeks and four days would go by, and you know what? He'll die.
Leonard didn't have plans of going to her house now 'cause she'll be at work right now, that's for sure. So once again, he'll go in the evening, that's the perfect time to meet her in her boulevard. And he really hopes that she wouldn't be with her friends when he meets her, he'll love to implement the new toasting tactic he came up with without her friends being there.
Time passed by quickly as Leonard didn't step a foot out of his apartment, if we are to check things out? he's jobless. It's just like his job was to complete his quest. Evening had come already, the time was 5:12 pm, it's time to go implement the new toasting tactic. If he doesn't see her when he gets to her boulevard, he planned on doing the normal stuff...that's waiting for her.
He showered once again, then dressed up in a lemon T-shirt that had a brand on it. Then he put on shoes, now, he was fully prepared to evacuate his apartment. Getting outside of his apartment, he plucked out one of the flowers from the flower vase that was at the side of his apartment...very close to it. This was gonna play a very important role in the toasting tactic he planned on implementing.
After taking that action, he smiled and began sauntering. As usual, he arrived at the Meditation Lane and began strolling to where Eva's abode was situated. Luckily, not even arriving at the front of her edifice, he had already sighted her from a distance coming out of her house, which put a smile on his face. But then, the smile vanished, her friends were with her, he wanted to implement this new seduction tactic without them being there.
'Why are they always together?'. He questioned himself in his thought, yeah, he hadn't understood that their bond was so strong.
Well, he'll have to implement the seduction tactic though her friends were with her...there was nothing he could do about it. He began strolling to meet them though they were sauntering. One of Eva's friends was the first person to notice him, then she quickly informed them about it. She did this by pointing at Leonard and uttering,
"The charming guy is here".
They all glanced at Leonard and halted immediately as he kept on sauntering to meet them. He arrived at the spot where they were standing and smiled at them, he made sure to hide the flower in his back. With an irritated facial expression, Eva voiced out,
"You again? Like, seriously?".
"That's to show you how much I love you, though you keep saying you don't like me, I'll never stop until I get you as my girlfriend". Leonard uttered.
"Whoo!". One of the girls let out in astonishment 'cause of Leonard's statement.
"Well, you'll have to give up 'cause I'll never accept your feelings for me, I'll never accept to be your girlfriend. It's just a waste of time". Eva stated, and from her facial expression, she meant what she was saying.
It was about time for Leonard to implement the seduction tactic, he began bending slowly, and the girls were utterly confused as to what he was about to do. But then, they fully realized what he was doing when he knelt on the ground completely while glancing up at Eva. Then he brought out the flower he was holding in his back and raised it to Eva and stated,
"Please, accept to be mine, and I promise, though you don't like me now, you'll come to like me once we start mingling together. Please, don't reject me". He said this so romantically.
Eva was utterly confused, it was evident from her facial expression. A guy knelt in front of her, raised a flower at her, and begged for her to be his girl in public? she thinks that was really romantic. Her friends were already signaling her not to reject him, they were doing that orally.
"Eva, please, don't allow this grand opportunity pass you by. He's on his knees begging for you to be his girl. He's so romantic, so sweet, so calm, so handsome. Please, don't reject him".
"Yeah, Eva, don't allow this grand opportunity pass you by. Like, he's on his knees".
She was so confused right now, but she wasn't confused about her feelings, she was sure that she doesn't like him. And she didn't plan on hiding it, she was gonna reveal it, she was gonna reject him. Leonard was expecting her to accept the flower by now, but she didn't, instead, she said.
"I'm sorry, I wouldn't be able to accept that flower from you and your feelings for me. I'm so sorry".
Leonard couldn't believe what he just heard, so she was still gonna reject him after kneeling in front of her and presenting her a flower? She beckoned on her friends as they walked away from his presence. As they sauntered, he could hear two of her friends rebuking her for what she did.
"How could you do that? How could you reject him? How could you embarrass him in public like this?".
"Eva, what you did isn't right at all, you should have accepted to be his girl. And as he said, once you start mingling with him, you'll fall in love with him. See how you just embarrassed him in public".
Then he heard Eva say, "I wasn't the one that asked him to come kneel in front of me and present a flower to me? As I said, once I don't like a guy, I'll never accept his feelings for me. And I don't want the part of getting to like him later after becoming his girl".
Leonard couldn't even stand up from where he was kneeling, he was so embarrassed. Some people passing shook their heads and glanced at him giving him that look of, 'Man, you just got rejected'. Kneeling there for some seconds more, he managed to stand up...he was f**king embarrassed and afraid at the same time.
You should know why he was embarrassed, but as for why he was afraid? That's 'cause Eva would be a very hard girl to seduce, the evidence was enough. He might die, he'll die on his first quest. He just stood there glancing at blank space as people kept passing by. Then suddenly, he heard a masculine voice behind him say,
"Xup".
He turned around immediately to see who the person was. It was a guy dressed in red shirt and brown chinos trousers, he had a bit of blonde hair also. What the hell does the guy want from him? Then the guy voiced out something that shocked him to the brim,
"Are you from Earth 1?".
Why the f**k was this guy asking this question? Had he discerned that Leonard wasn't originally from this earth? That he transmigrated from Earth 1? But how did he find out? How? He remembered what the female system told him that if anyone from this earth finds out that he's from Earth 1, he'll either die, become crippled, or get struck with a deadly disease.
There was fright on his facial expression, what answer was he gonna give this guy? The guy noticed the fright on his face, and he immediately understood the reason why, so he uttered,
"You don't need to be afraid, I am from Earth 1 also. Yeah, your system told you not to let anyone from this earth know that you are from Earth 1, right? Well, my system told me the same thing too. You don't have to be afraid".
Leonard was relieved and surprised at the same time, so he had finally found someone from his previous earth? He wasn't expecting to find anyone this soon. He shook hands with the guy and uttered,
"Seriously?".
"Yeah, seriously, am from Earth 1". The guy retorted.
"I'm from Earth 1 too". Leonard voiced out with a smile on his face.
"Shhh, you don't want anyone to know that we aren't from this earth, keep your voice down". The guy told Leonard.
"I'm so sorry, I'll keep my voice low. So how did you know that I am from Earth 1?".
"Yeah, I've been noticing you for some time now trying to woo that girl. And seems like she's just rejected you for the third time though you knelt on the ground and presented her a flower. I just had to discern that you were from Earth 1 trying to complete the quest given to you. I wasn't sure yet, that's why I decided to ask you".
"Yeah, I've been trying for some time now, today would make it the third day, but she isn't falling for my seduction tactics. I don't know what else to do, and my time is counting". Leonard let out.
