I simply shook my head at her childish behaviour and asked
"Do you think you can get up anytime soon?"
"No...I think it will take a while for my legs to start working again." Astrid said, after trying to get up a few times and failing.
"Then, I guess I'll just have to pick you up."
"Yeah, I think you'll have to-...Wait what did you just-"
Before she could finish her sentence, I bent down in front of her, put one hand underneath her thighs and the other behind her back, and gently lifted her up from the ground in a princess carry.
Astrid was surprised at my sudden action and quickly wrapped her hands around my neck, and let out a yelp as she tried to balance herself in my hands.
She had a look of surprise and disbelief on her face, as if she couldn't believe that I actually lifted her up, as easy as lifting up a school bag, and looked down onto the floor to see if she was really on the cold wooden floor that she'd been sitting on for a while.
Only when she felt the cold feeling on her back and especially on her bare thighs from my hands that were holding her did she truly realise that she was in my arms, which made her cheeks flush and her ears droop down.
I too was going through a whole assortment of emotions, as one of my hands was holding her back, while the other was on her plump thigh; that was smooth and soft on one side, and fluffy and warm on the other.
Astrid didn't seem to be in the best position, as she slightly wiggled her butt so that she could fit better in my arms, and pulled my neck closer to her, which made her chest push onto mine.
With the amount of pressure her chest was putting on my upper body, it almost felt as if she was trying to push me away with her breasts.
When I looked down to look at her, she had a shy look on her face, and her eyes were twinkling like stars.
Seeing that I was looking at her, Astrid looked away in a fluster and asked in a timid voice
"Am I not heavy?"
"Of course you're heavy."
I said, which made her turn her head and look at me with a grouchy frown, not expecting I would have any tact at all.
I then looked at her chest and said, with a grin on my face
"How could you not be heavy when you've been carrying these chunks of meat and fat on your chest, that atleast way to ten kilograms each?"
Astrid's ears perked up, and she shot me a fierce look as she started to tighten her grip on my neck out of anger.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
I shouted in a panic as I felt her arms getting tighter on my neck, and then struggled to say in a hurry
"Do you not understand where you are right now?! You're literally at the mercy of my hands! Don't do anything stupid that you will regret!"
She stopped trying to choke me out and looked at me with a sneer on her face, and asked
"And what about it? What do you think you can do to me just because I'm in your hands?"
The way she was looking at me and the way her hands were stroking my neck were as if she were tempting me to do something, which put me at a loss since I was always the one teasing her and not the other way around.
"Don't tempt me, women. I have my ways to get back at you." I said while gritting my teeth, with a half smile on my face.
"Oh, how would you do that~? I'm quite eager to know."
She said, as she looked at me with a coquettish look on her face as she rubbed her chest on me, knowing that it was obviously making me flustered.
I don't know if she was teasing me because she was genuinely tempting me or because she enjoyed seeing me a little embarrassed.
But no matter what, I didn't want it to continue, so I went a little closer to her face and said in a low voice
"Do you really want to know what I'm going to do to you if you don't do as I say?"
"Please do tell~"
Astrid said, as her face warmed up a bit and her heartbeat increased, as if she were expecting me to do something really naughty.
She even brought her face closer to mine and rubbed her body on me; like she was giving permission to do whatever I wanted to do, and was even urging for something to happen.
This could be taken as her trying to seduce me from an outsider's perspective.
But from my point of view, I could see a hint of playfulness in her watery eyes, which made it obvious that she was trying to make me feel embarrassed, to get back at me.
I wasn't going to let her play her games with me, as I wasn't the biggest fan of getting teased by someone who should be younger than me, so I smiled and said
"Why don't I simply do it instead of showing you?"
"Of course~...That is, if you're brave enough to do it." She replied, as she looked up at me with the same smile in return.
"Then let's go."
I said, as I looked away from her face and started walking towards the door to the classroom.
Astrid didn't seem to expect this move of mine and was jolted awake from her coquettish state, and looked at the door she was moving towards.
She then looked at me in a panic and asked
"W-Where are you going?"
"Outside."
"Outside?! Why are you going outside? What if someone saw us like this?!" Astrid asked in a flustered manner, completely breaking off from the attitude she had earlier.
"That's exactly what I want to see happen." I smiled and looked down at Astrid. "I want everyone in the corridor outside to see our current state."
