Second part
"Yeah, but what do you want to do with that?" Anna asked, confused.
"It's just a simple scare, relax," I replied.
"But back to the plan: we can pick up the pace to catch up to her. As soon as we reach her, you hold my backpack, okay? And the rest? Leave the rest to me. I know what I'm doing," I finished explaining to Anna, who just nodded.
Now, I knew she was ticklish on her neck, but that would be too hard to pull off. Her hair was down, so her neck wasn't exposed. Instead, I decided to grab her waist-that would give her quite a good "scare." Perfect
We were already close enough to her, so I handed my backpack to Anna.
"Okay, hold my backpack and try not to make any noise," I told Anna.
I approached her slowly and brought my hands to her waist, giving it a quick, firm squeeze.
Her reaction was instant. Just as I expected. She jumped away and turned around rapidly, gripping the strap of her water bottle-probably ready to hit whoever was holding her waist if it hadn't been me. Obviously.
"Heloísa? What is going through your head?!" she said with a nervous little laugh. Anna was turning red, holding back her laughter.
"Surprise, my love! Didn't you like it?" I teased, pulling her in for a quick peck.
"Like it? Of course not! Your hands are freezing, and I thought it was some guy, Heloísa!" she complained, but deep down, I knew she liked it.
"Sorry! But bye for now, I have to go to practice. Wish me luck!"
"Good luck. And good night, Santos," she replied mockingly, knowing full well I hate it when people call me by my last name.
"HEY! You know I don't like it when you call me by my last name! Bye, Melo!" I shot back, running toward the gym. She hated being called by her last name just as much as I did.
