Chief Adam's Office, Delta Unit.
Kyra entered the office, her heart racing at a weird speed. As per the plan, Andrew and Venessa would be out for a meeting, for an hour at least and Kyra had to convince Kevin in that limited period.
Her eyes moved to the camera hidden behind the vase on the bookshelf, later scanning all the hidden sets of devices in that room. She was good at tricking those AI-run machines and even the people keeping an eye on them. But the bigger problem was for Kevin! Only if he could decipher her coyish act and try to understand the hidden motive? It was not as easy as it sounded!
But again, would he even let her touch him? Considering how they treated each other as some contagious disease?
An image of Kevin pushing her to the ground as she tried to touch him flashed in her mind, making her almost cry out loud.
"Ahhh! That would be embarrassing!" Kyra cursed inside her head, her hands itching to shut off all those devices so no one could watch them. But she couldn't, at least not until those people behind them believed her and fell in her trap!
What if he actually pushes her away? She would die in shame as the gossip would sure spread like a wildfire.
"Arghh! I can't do it!" She cried, slumping down on the couch as her stomach started making weird sounds. Was it the butterfly effect or something lovers usually felt?
"Huh! Cut the crap, Kyra!" She whined, resting back her head. Lovers? Yuck! What was wrong with her mind?
And as she was busy cursing her fate, someone knocked on the door and since it was left open, Kevin entered inside only to stare at her in surprise.
"Where is Chief?" He questioned, leaving the door open. She was up to no good and he was already getting the vibes.
"They will be here in a minute." Kyra smiled at him, and getting up, she slowly walked in his direction, "How about we talk until then?"
Her smile was pretentious, he could clearly see it but her next move caught him in surprise. She closed the door with her fingers and continued walking in his direction.
"Are Are you thinking to kill me now?" Kevin questioned as she covered the gap between them, with just an inch, Wait! with no gap at all for them to even breathe.
"No, but to trap you here," Kyra said with a smirk, her eyes gleaming with something which was urging him to puke out. Was she trying to seduce him now?
She continued smiling at him, while he took a step backward, it was beyond torturous for Kyra and insanely awkward for Kevin. What the hell was happening here? He was asking it very loudly with his eyes.
Unable to hold any further, Kyra placed her hand on his chest and pushed him back, so harshly that Kevin almost hit the door with a thud.
"What the hell Kyra?" Kevin struggled as she pinned him to the door, she was using a spell to really trap him now!
And as he tried moving, she placed both of her hands on the door with a bang, completely seizing him though she was shorter than him, reaching only up to his chin.
"Move if you don't wanna get kicked there!" Kevin yelled as he was left with no better option but to use his knees now. She even pinned down his hands that he was just stuck there like a dry cloth hanging loosely in the air. And the whole scenario was just totally unpleasant for him. She was behaving like some pervert, and he was forced to act like a damsel in distress. Arghh, he wanted to badly beat her to death now!
While it was a different kind of punishment for Kyra. Though she had trapped him down, the right words just didn't phrase in her mind. All that she could come up with were curses that she badly wanted to use on him.
"Breathe, Kyra! Breathe!" She muttered closing her eyes as Kevin started throwing tantrums at her.
"This is disgusting Kyra! Just leave me, I have no such feelings towards you!"
"Girl if you really like me that much, we can talk it out. Okay? You cannot just like pin me down and moles no I mean harass me like this!!"
"Kyra, I will scream now and everyone will be here in no less than a minute! You don't wanna embarrass, do you?"
"At least, release my body dammit! I am suffocating to death now!"
"Kyra, for god's sake first let's calmly sit down and talk! Okay?"
"Fine, since you are so obsessed I mean you like me so much, I will consider dating you alright? Now, for hell's sake, release,"
"Shut the fuck up!" Kyra muttered, glaring right into his eyes that Kevin immediately zipped his mouth. His utter nonsense was totally getting on her nerves. Like for hell's sake, why would she like him? And wait, Dating?? He had high expectations for himself!!
Taking a deep long breath, Kyra stared at him, this time with a seductive smile and Kevin almost coughed out in disgust. She was tormenting him to death just with her little tricks!
"Try me!" Kyra mumbled, very loudly so that it could get channeled into the recordings. But, Kevin just stared at her, his face almost paling out in shock.
"I said try me!" Kyra pressed harder, this time even moving closer that their bodies almost touched and Kevin just held his breath, his mind shouting to get out of that shit.
And when he just couldn't understand, Kyra sighed out loud, annoyedly as her patience was reaching its limits. Left with no better choice, she raised on her toes, directly facing him, eye to eye, and moved closer so close that their noses almost touched with just an inch gap between their lips. Heat raced up to his cheeks, which were not just hot but also turning red now that he could feel their hot breaths mixing up.
Realizing what she was up to, Kevin instantly pressed his lips in horror, he pressed harder shaking his head as weird thoughts came to his mind. No, not in this lifetime or any lifetime will he get kissed by her! Not even if she threatened to kill him right there!
Sighing out loud, to his surprise, Kyra moved to his right ear and sighed again, making him shudder in displeasure. She was frustrated, he felt it in her breath as it tickled his ear.
"Read me, Dumb Wit!" Kyra mumbled, slowly making sure that it just reached his ears and not anyone else.
Kevin blinked and turned to look at her, she looked back at him with a fake smile and muttered, "Read me, if you don't wanna die here!"
"You you want me to read," Kevin mumbled, confused as they both looked at each other, sideways so close that their lips almost touched. And luckily, the whole scene was getting portrayed just in the way Kyra had planned earlier.
Kyra cursed inside her head! He was just getting harder to manage and she found no better options than talking to him directly. But for that, she would first need to convince the viewers that they were actually doing something, which they shouldn't see. Sighing out loud, she looked at him with a fake smile of course!
"Shhh. Let me take the lead then!" Kyra mumbled placing a finger on his lips and then smirked coyishly that even her ears started turning red. And he immediately gulped at her touch. What the hell was she actually doing??
"Woah Woah, look what's happening in here?" Someone in the control room mused, pointing at the screen with Chief Adam's room.
"New love birds, huh?" Others commented, and everyone's attention now fell on the small part of that big screen which had live footage of all the rooms in the delta unit. They were secretly monitored under the commands of the deputy director, and that dark ground room filled with nothing but serious faces, now had curious looks as everyone peeked at the scene.
"In Chief's office? They are bold I must say haha!" Came comments as they saw Kyra and Kevin stuck like gum, separated just by a finger.
The head of the control unit, Chief Maverick moved forward as he heard something like 'read' in between their conversation. He was a werewolf, gifted with greater powers of vision and hearing by a demigod during his training and he stood up to his name, encoding even the trickiest scene like the one Kyra was acting up now.
But before he could see or hear any further, Kyra removed her finger from Kevin's lips and moved closer. But when everyone held their breaths waiting for them to kiss, she raised her two fingers and snapped all the cameras as they almost kissed, at least that was what got caught on the screen!
"Hahaha, look at her!" One of them commented as the screen of that room went blank. Even the audio detectability and vision trespassing devices got defected and everyone laughed shaking their heads.
It was common to encounter such scenes, specifically young people madly making out in any of the corner corridors or in some rooms. So they didn't find anything suspicious in the scene they just saw. Kyra and Kevin were just madly in love and it fitted very well with Kyra's act.
"Ask to activate mild audio outputs in that room!" Chief Maverick ordered as he found something suspicious in Kyra's as well as Kevin's behavior. Weren't they the famous growing enemies he had heard from someone about the delta unit?
"Geez, Chief! Give them some privacy!" One of his juniors mumbled and others just shook their heads before concentrating back on their respective works.
Chief Maverick realized how he sounded and rubbed his neck awkwardly. Wouldn't he be embarrassed to death if they were really making out? He thought and shaking off his doubts, he went back to his seat.
While in Adam's office.
The moment Kyra felt her spell worked, she immediately took a few steps back and the swift moment almost brushed their lips. She gulped, wiping the sweat off her forehead while Kevin slumped down on the ground as she released him from her pinning spell.
Their hearts were beating so loudly that both of them were afraid that the other party would hear it and misunderstand things.
"Sorry about that!" Kyra mumbled hurrying towards the coffee table. She took the jar and poured herself a glass of water, her hands shaking as if she had committed some great sin. Apologetic to what? For that almost oops kiss or the whole act that almost freaked him? She thought while gulping down the water.
Unlike Kyra, Kevin just sat there on the ground, numb and dazed as he almost had a heart attack when she moved closer to kiss him. But they didn't avoid it, did they? Their lips almost brushed and her touch was still lingering on his lips.
"Argh!" He shook his head as that 'oops' kiss scene started ghosting him down. What the hell did just happen?
And that thought brought him to the world and he instantly glared at Kyra. And when Kyra felt his intense look, she turned around only to pale out as Kevin looked like he was going to murder her.
"Look, let me explain!" Kyra mumbled, raising her arm but almost took a step backward when Kevin got up and started looking around for something to kill her.
"Kevin, I was forced to do this. Do you think I would even touch you? I mean even come near you??" She babbled taking one more step backward as Kevin's eyes fell on the vase near the side stand near the door.
"Kevin, this is not the time to fight! We need to look for that lost soul and I have something very important to say!"
"Yes, Kyra you can!" Kevin mumbled and then taking the vase, he continued, "You can once you end up in hell!"
"Oh yeah, make sure to even write an apologetic letter from there. Okay?" He added, getting ready to break her head with it.
"No, listen to me first!" Kyra almost begged but was too late as Kevin threw the vase in her direction.
Would they even have a peaceful talk before it's too late for Andrew to arrive? She was literally doubting now that Kevin had returned to his hulk mood!
