Summertime Smiles.

26.

Alaya's POV.

I was sitting peacefully in my room, rummaging through the case files, trying to find clues from sources etc.

*Phone rings*

I frowned and picked up my phone by leaning my whole body to my bed from my desk where I was sitting.

God, was it such a exercise.

"Huff." I exhaled a deep sigh and unlocked my phone.

My face heated up upon seeing the culprit.

Champanzee.

Chapter26: How a champanzee tamed a brat.

"Hello?" I said in a low tone as I picked up his call.

I heard his soft breaths through the phone and then he spoke.

"Hi."

Then there was an awkward silence.

"Ummm. You called me?" I spoke in a shy tone while playing with the bedsheet.

Obviously I was shy. How could I not be when he kissed me so well just some hours ago? And now he's talking in a husky voice. And when we just today officiated our relationship.

"What?" I said with a pout.

"No. I don't want to go anywhere. I'm tired." I said.

"Don't act like my boss ok. It's not the working hours." I said.

"No. I won't." I said and ended the call.

What was I even anticipating? Him to call me nicknames and say romantic lines? I was wrong to think that because he only called me to inform that we have to go to a freaking birthday party next day.

I was planning to take a leave tommorow and go visit my parents but all in vain.

He thinks I'll obey? No I won't.

I immediately texted him.

You: I won't go to any party. That too with a cruel man like you.😾

I just like this emoji, okay?

🦍🤖: Don't be stubborn Alaya. It's important for me..

For you right? Then why am I being involved.

You: I was planning to visit my parents tommorow. It's been a month since I last met them.

He didn't reply. I guess he's guilty now?

🦍🤖:  I'll give you two days of leave this Monday and Tuesday.

I thought about it.

That means. From the day after tommorow, Saturday, I have four holidays. Wow!

🦍🤖: Hmm?

I wonder how his voice would sound with that hmm?

With a chuckle, I replied.

You: Done.

🦍🤖: sent you a voice note.

I opened it but regretted it soon as his voice was too husky to not get butterflies in one's stomach.

I increased the volume with my red cheeks.

"You are such a greedy person, Alaya. Tsk tsk tsk." He spoke.

Awww.. his tsk tsk tsk.

🦍🤖: What are you doing?

Took you long to ask a normal question.
