My Future Wife Is Androphobic

Chapter 10 - Okay

"Be my girlfriend." As those words left Kira's mouth, a smooth and deep silence reigned between them. Kira was very eager to see her reaction. His gaze was locked onto her. It was as if he didn't want to even blink for fear that he might miss the moment his words sunk in. He was clearly excited because he thought those words would definitely get a reaction from her and he did not want to miss anything!

Time stood still and the girl's expression remained unchanged. After a moment or two, the girl's lips finally moved and uttered a word.

Zeri : "Okay."

Kira: ". . ."

Utterly speechless, Kira could do nothing but stare at her. He was dumbfounded, disappointed and confused all at the same time. Here he was, most eagerly awaiting her reaction in what was clearly a defining moment in her life, but there was nothing but that word. There was no surprise or excitement in her expression. It almost looked like he just offered her food and she simply replied 'okay'. Her reaction was like a knife that cut the last string of his self-restrain. He couldn't believe what was happening.

Kira's palms on the wall clenched into tight fists and the next moment, he hooked a finger under her chin and lifter her face towards his.

"You… you agreed just like that?" he asked with an extremely displeased expression. He'd been thinking that this girl was different but she said 'okay' without even batting an eye? Was this girl just pretending from the beginning? Kira didn't know why but he was pissed. Damn! Why am I so annoyed?

Kira wanted to conclude that this girl was just pretending to be unaffected but every time he looked into her eyes, he just couldn't see anything fake. Was it because this squirrel was a pro? Gahh… I don't know anymore!

Kira had never been so frustrated over any girl who appeared in his life before. He didn't know why this girl was making him feel like this. He just felt as though dealing with her was just so frustratingly tiresome that he didn't want to speak anymore.

"I already swore to do whatever you wanted." She finally replied and Kira let go of her face as he leaned in on her again.

"Good, then, from this moment on, you are now my girlfriend." He said s.e.xily but Zeri simply nodded before she spoke.

"I am forgiven now, right?" she confirmed and Kira straightened as he put his hands in his pockets.

"As promised, yes."

"Then, how about the video?"

As Zeri asked those, Kira brought the phone out from his pocket. He deleted the video and showed her as he did so. When the process was done, he slid the phone back in his pocket.

"Satisfied?"

"Yes, thank you."

"You don't have any doubts? What if I have another copy with me?" Kira tried teasing her. Somehow, he wanted to see what kind of girl this person really was. He wanted to know if she was just pretending or if this was really her real self. He wanted to know if she really was unaffected or just acting like she was not.

"I believe you are a man of your words."

As those words left her mouth, Kira was again rendered speechless. This girl…

After silently rubbing his hand on the back of his neck, Kira didn't back off. He smiled mischievously as he gazed at her.

"Don't you think you're being too trusting of other people?"

"I don't have a choice but to believe you. If you end up lying, I can't do anything about it. But know that I believe in karma. You will be cursed if you break your promise."

Once again, Kira couldn't even say a word back. For some reason, the way this squirrel's mind worked was just so unusually strange for a high school girl like her. Why was this girl always speaking so seriously? Didn't she know that she almost felt and looked like a witch right now? Was she trying to scare me or something?

The whole scene was really going into a place Kira didn't even imagine. He thought that this was his opportunity to make a move on her. He thought he could easily make this girl fall head over heels for him. But everything did not go to plan and went in such a different direction from what he expected. He did succeed in making her agree to be his girlfriend but he didn't feel like that was an accomplishment at all. It was not because she was basically blackmailed but because of her reaction or lack of it.

All the girls Kira dated before usually almost screamed their lungs out the moment Kira asked them to be his girlfriend or when he accepted their confession. Some even passed out due to the overwhelming happiness and excitement but all he got from this uns.e.xy squirrel was a single, emotionless 'okay' and some pretty serious words that almost felt like a scolding?! What the hell was happening? Was this girl not really being enticed by his godly charms? Did she really see someone as hot as him as nothing?!! That just can't be, right?!

"Uhm… so all I have to do now is be your girlfriend, right?" The squirrel spoke when Kira remained silent and her words somehow made Kira snap.

"You. Are. My. Girlfriend. Now." He said, emphasizing each word. "You better put that in your mind."

"Okay, I will. Since this matter is settled now, I should go first." She replied as she nonchalantly moved past him, causing Kira to smirk. He turned around so he could catch her hand so they could hold each other's hand as they walked back, but as soon as he turned, the girl was already a few steps away from him.

Kira's veins popped and before he could even take the first step to catch up to her, the girl suddenly dashed away like the cheetah that she was, disappearing from his sight in no time, leaving him all alone like an abandoned young demigod in this little forest.

Squirrel!!!! How could you leave just like that?!!!!!!
