She's a Secret Agent?! (English Version)

[29]

"Guys? Are you two okay?" Cross brows furrow as he glances back and forth at Daniel and I. We were in the same fast food restaurant yesterday but everything isn't like yesterday. It's currently 9:00 in the morning and were having our breakfast. I ordered some pizza and cheesy burgers while the two had some salad or something I didn't really recognized.

"Huh?" Daniel and I accidentally asked at the same time. We glanced at each other for a moment. All the blood in me immediately traveled on my cheeks and I hastily avoided his gaze as he clears his throat. 

"I'm fine. Nothing's wrong" I say trying to act normally. The fudge. How can I when Daniel's staring me down?

"Daniel?" Cross inquired. I glanced at him and he was looking at me. He gave me this unreadable look then looked at Cross.

"Yeah" he shortly answers and I continued staring outside. Cross looked at the two of us trying to figure us out. I bit my lip and shamefully reminisced what happened last night.

*flashback*

"Then, Agent Misaki. I like you. Do I have a chance?"

"What the actual fuck"  I stood up in reflex.

The corners of his mouth quirked up at my dumbfounded expression, he stood up too leveling his face unto mine.  He face slowly draws closer and I couldn't move, my knee seemed to be jelly-like and I have no control of it. Last time I felt this I was poisoned by my target.

 He's damn so close.!

me? So that does mean, the person he was talking about a while ago was me?

"I'm dead serious Misaki. I like you" he whispers grabbing my chin making me look directly in his eyes.

"M-Me?" I ask stupidly. The fuck. We were like cats and dogs I didn't know that was possible. 

"Answer my question please. Do I stand a chance?" He stared at my eyes intimately. I gulped. My mind was in a haywire as well as everything in me. I think my bowel just did a back flip or something. 

He leaned down. Goosebumps rose from my skin. I could smell his scent. Heck, I could feel his breathe in my face. This was the moment.  I glanced at his lips. It was drawing closer. It looked so soft.

When his lips was only one breath away I snapped back into reality. What the fuck!

I pushed him and hastily got out of there. Holy shit! I just can't. I looked back at him as I was running away from a zombie. He was laying on the sand as his lips was still puckering. I can't believe he had just confessed he has feelings for me. And asked if he has a chance. 

A while ago, I think I don't have something for him other than annoyance and anger. But now? I don't know man, I'm not so sure.

After we were done with our stuffs there was an awkward silence as we went back into the van. Let's get back to work. I sprawled the map on the center after we had formed a circle. 

"That looks far from her" Daniel comments and he was right, it's somewhere far south. It looks like we have to go into an island and cross a body of water.  I glanced at him and I didn't expect he was still looking at me, my cheeks burned as the events kept on playing on my mind.

"I remember that place" we looked at Cross who was thinking deeply. 

"We used to go there when I was a kid to unwind and enjoy nature. We have a rest house there because it was the favorite place of Dad and Mom. That's where they first met, when they were hiking. It's our own private island so no one's else there" 

"What else do you remember? Do you have like some special place there or something, like fave spots?" I inquire and he thought for a moment again. I hope he remembers something. Damn I really hope so.

"Well yeah,  Dad and Mom loved hiking and they always bring me with them. We used to go to that cave at Mt. Saraye. I can still remember Dad saying 'This is a special place, son. Remember this'" he slowly says as we get goosebumps on our skin. Is this it?

"Pack your things guys, this evening we'll start our way there" I announced. 

"Will do, babe" Daniels smiles widely as soon as Cross walked away for a moment and it were like the old times I'd just be annoyed and stuff but now it isn't anything like that. 

"Don't call me babe"

"So you have the answer to my question now?" He asks. I nipped at my bottom lip. I didn't know what to fucking do. 

"I--" he puts a finger between my lips to shush me. He was smirking as he looks at my heated face.

"Whatever your answer may be. I'm still courting you" he patted my head and held my chin.

"And I'll win your heart" he says in a serious deep tone as if he was so determined. 

"I'll go out for a minute babe!" In a moment he was now waving at me and slamming the door. My brain seemed to stop working seconds ago. 

"What's with him?" Cross suddenly asks behind me and I almost jumped. 

"I don't know" I tried to compose my face. This was all so new for me. I was about to walk away and get some air but Cross' hand gripped my hand softly making me stop on my tracks and faced him. 

"What the-

"Does Daniel like you?" I froze at his question. How did he know?

"I don't know what you're talking about.  Just let me go"  I tried to wiggle out of his hand. 

"Just please answer my question"  He actually said 'please'. Damn Cross.

"If it was a yes or no, It's not any of your concern" I state and walked away after snatching my hands away from his grip. What the fudge. What's up with these guys this days?

I just decided to get ready and pack my necessary things for this evening.

When I was done I went back and saw the both of them on a staring contest. How come I wasn't informed and invited to this event?

"What is going on boys?" I ask them and they snapped their heads at me eerily at the same time. 

"Nothing" Daniel says smiling but I could still see something beyond that smile.

"We're just having some man to man conversation" Cross looks at me then back at Daniel. I shrugged, whatever then. I heard all boys go to that phase. 

"That could wait so let's go, shall we?"
