Playing for Keeps[Kingx#1] [COMPLETED]

Chapter49

"Archer, where are you taking me?"

"Almost there" he says as he led her by her hand.

"You know, when we aren't in school you should take rest. Lots of it. Your body must be still sore"

"It's been two days"

"I know but..." she trailed off.

She sees that they walked towards the playground, but she doesn't really expected him to take her there.

She let him leads her in confusion, what was he doing. The playground was much in greater form than she remembered. With better equipments.

She looked around as they passed the see-saw and the swing and stopped in front of the ladder of the slide.

"Climb" he orders.

"What? Are you serious?" she laughs

"Why wouldn't I be?"

She sighed and did as he asked wondering what the heck was going on. She felt Archer climbing behind her as she reached the top.

"So. I slide down?" she asked, trying to arrange herself in position as she was on fours but Archer pulled her back by her waist making her squeal in surprise.

He shifted her body like a rag doll until she straddles his lap, she placed her hand on his chest. The street lights gives them just enough lights to see the path and each other.

"What are we doing?" she smiled at him.

"It's a date"

She blinked, "A date?"

He shrugged, "James said that girls love these stuffs so I decided to take you."

"Here?"

"Well...not exactly but..."

"A very unique place for my first date" she laughed.

"You don't like it?" he stilled before showing hint of anger on his expression, anger at himself, "F*<k me. Should've taken you to som-"

"Hey, hey! It's okay" she assures him, cupping his face, "Besides, other guys will surely take me to some fancy restaurant. But, I will remember my first date forever."

He frowned before shaking his head furiously, "No" he growls, "No other guys"

"Okay, okay. It was just an example" she assures him again. She would've laughed if he wasn't so serious.

"But, We can't stay out here for long. My parents will worry"

"Hey, I asked your dad for this, remember?"

In fact, Archer did. Archer came by at 7pm using the door, asking to speak to her dad.

Her dad and Archer talked, the things they talked

about, she had no idea. They did the man stare-down thing while they talked, at least that's what she saw. After that, her dad only watch when Archer took her out.

"I wonder what makes him trust you. Not that you're untrustworthy or anything. He's too protective. Something's definitely going on"

"He knows I won't hurt you"

"He'd freak out if he knew out past"

"What're you talking about?"

"That you were you always bullying me"

"The f- the hell I do!" he shouts and looked so offended that it made her doubt herself.

"You did, Archer"
