Heartless

9: THE GIDDY FEELING

Khaira's POV

I hated romance books

I hated love songs

I hated the heart shape

I hated everything that related to them. I was now at the stationary shop to buy some novels. Note this, 'Mystery novel', not some kind of the sick lovey dovey novels.

Once, I read one of my mother's novels without even telling her. I read it just a sentence and quickly closed the book because of the disgusting thingy things that had written in it. I felt like puking.

"What're you doing here,"

A very familiar voice, I see.

"I don't know, maybe taking my fish for a walk," I chirped happily, sarcasm was everywhere and don't miss the teasing.

His face turned 50 shades of red. I would love to burst out laughing but I remember that I was in a mission.

"Uh-uhm..... Why don't we just forget about that," he stuttered first but became steady after that.

"Why would I?" I gave him a teasing smile while giving him a glance and looked at the novels back.

"You so fucking precious when you smile," he said it seriously, and I on the other hand were gaping playfully at him.

"Never knew you as a music fan," I stated but he just ignored and look at me. It kinda creepy.

"It's creepy,"

"So?"

"It made me uncomfortable,"

"That's good,"

I furrowed my eyebrows at him, confusion clearly can be noticed.

"What?" He asked innocently.

"You know that you weird, right?"

"Do you like it or not?" I was taken back a bit since I didn't see that coming.

"I do. They're funny sometimes," it just half true, though.

"Then, I'm weird," I still couldn't understand him seriously.

"Do you want to buy anything or just walking around?" I asked him with my blank face.

"Walking around but note this,with you," he said smilingly, a vert genuine smile.

"Are you obsessed with me," I asked playfully and his comeback made me froze.

"100%," still confident as ever. I ignore what he said and made my way to the counter. He's just teasing, right? It's none of my business. I reminded myself that.

While the lady at the counter scanned my things, I turned my head and saw Leo looking around with his hands slid into his jeans pockets.

Don't drool
Don't drool
Don't drool

I might be the most cold hearted girl you've ever met but let's be honest, who wouldn't drool over some hot men? Obviously not me.

I payed the lady and brought my things to my car. Along the way, Leo had been silence.

Once I've placed my things, in the car boot, I closed it and face one and only Leo Dominic.

"Are you not going to the dorm?" I asked him. I knew curiosity killed the cat but was it very dangerous to ask just a simple question like that?

He smirked at me and came closer to my face,

"Why do you ask? Concern? Don't worry babe. I would go to dorm right after you go,"

My blank face was still there but I didn't know why did I feel some giddy inside of me. Maybe the giddy was annoyance, right?

I raised my eyebrow and pushed him away.

"In your dream, Dominic,"

Thomas's POV

"Why didn't you come to Starbuck yesterday? I allowed you, didn't I?"

"For the hangout?" I scoffed at him, remembering back why I didn't go there.

"I was busy handling the nerd boy who thought it was fun to give me some fake answers in the exam,"

"Oh yeah. How was him?"

"Good, just some injury that can be healed less than a year, so no big deal," I stated confidently and something popped out from my head.

"I didn't trust the girl even a bit. Khaira. Even her name screams mystery. What if she's from ViruX? Just try digging some facts about ToxiS?"

I didn't believe her even a bit. She's very mystery. Very difficult. Very eligible for the spy mission.

"Why? She's fine for me. Her eyes said it all that she had some family problem. Something that she doesn't want anyone to know so she buried herself and built the walls around her,"

That's...... actuality made sense.

"Even if you loathed her, you could do nothing because he is already head over heels to her,"

I just nodded my head but the uneasiness in my heard didn't even lift a bit.
