Chapter 48 Oops
\'Glorr Mall...fuck how connected am I to this place?\' Chris wondered with a grimace as his leather shoes clicked against the white tiled floor of the mall.
\'Thats what you get for dating a store manager I guess,\' with a chuckle he pushed the door of M&H store, meeting eyes with the same snobby Cashier whose name he remembered to be Rachel.
"Should I try to woo a cute helper or cashier too??" Max looked around at the beautiful girls nearby, debating in his mind about who he should warm his bed with, but as usual, Chris ignored his stupid talk and walked towards Aria\'s cabin.
\'Time flies, huh?\' Chris looked at the cabin, reminiscing how the cabin which used to be a love making passionate motel now looks like the boss room of the hardest game he ever played.
"Hello sir, who are you?" a lady helper that stood near the cabin sqealed in cute, soft voice after noticing Chris walk towards the entry of the cabin.
Chris turned at her, no apparent emotion visible on his stoic handsome face.
"S-Security reasons, sir..." the helper fumbled her words with a pink blush creeping up her cheeks as she found herself lost in Chris\'s deep hazel eyes.
"It\'s fine." Chris turned around once again, opening the door without waiting for a reply from the helper lady.
If it was someone else who had tried to barge in like that, the helper would have surely prohibited or atleast put up more resistance... however, she was unable to do anything about Chris...
"Hello! I wanted some recommendations for clothings, can I have some help?" the helper lady was suddenly woken up from stupor by another melodious and friendly voice as she turned around to see a handsome blonde haired man smiling at her.
"Uhm, of course sir," she quickly regained her composure and nodded like an hen pecking chicken. Two hot men had come into the store and she got to talk to both of them! Lucky!
"Great! What are your proportions?"
"Huh?!"
"Just for general knowledge."
"I see..."
Chris clicked the door close as he heard Max talking to the cute helper. \'I guess he found an answer to his question.\' he chuckled in his mind, looking around the small cozy cabin.
On the office chair, sat a beautiful brown haired lady, dressed in business suit. Actually, not sat, but slept.
She dozed on the chair, resting her head on the soft headrest of the chair while her legs crossed over each other.
A smile crept up Chris\'s face as he looked at his beautiful girlfriend, napping peacefully in her breaktime. She looked so carefree and calm that all of worry and fear Chris held in his heart evaporated on its own.
He took off his noisy shoes, and walked towards Aria with silent steps and looked closely at her. Her rosy cheeks, that thin and kissable lips and that beautifully long brown silky hairs.
"Hello kitty," Chris called softly, stroking Aria\'s hairs. He had given the nickname \'kitty\' to her when one day she had holiday and she stayed at Chris\'s house, lazing around the day like a kitten.
Feeling some touch and disturbance around her, Aria opened her eyes, only to see another pair of hazel coloured eyes looking into her emerald green eyes.
"Mhm," she opened her mouth to express her surprise but found that it was closed shut by another pair of lips!
However, the moment of surprise had ended as she pushed away the familiar yet despicable man that dared to kiss her.
"How dare you kiss me when I was sleeping?" Aria hissed in angry voice.
"I didn\'t just do that though." Chris shrugged, pointing at Aria whose suits buttons were now loosened and opened up, her creamy white skin peeking under her clothes.
"You!!" a blush crept up Aria\'s cheeks as she felt his piercing look over her body, still, keeping up the brave act of hers, she shouted in loud and angry voice.
"I am sorry, kitty. I am sorry that you had to know about that in that way," Chris neared towards Aria\'s body again, keeping his hand at the handrest and leaning closer, almost whispering into her ears.
"What way bastard?! You should have told me earlier...if you would have...i wouldn\'t have fallen so deep..." Aria couldn\'t take it anymore and her tears flowed from her eyes like open tap, she hid her face in Chris\'s shoulders as she cried her heart out.
"Hey hey, don\'t cry. Also, I think you are misunderstanding something." Chris tapped her chin and looked into her eyes with a smile as he wiped her tears, "I am shifting indeed, but it\'s not like we are breaking up haha. Why are you acting as if we broke up?"
"...We aren\'t breaking up...? You aren\'t leaving me behind...?" Aria looked into his eyes with her hazy vision. All her insecurities that she held within began surfacing slowly.
"Of course no, idiot." Chris chuckled softly, picking Aria up from the seat and seating himself over the seat while also pulling her on his laps.
"Why would I leave you? I just, didn\'t tell earlier because...I wanted to take you with me...but, I was having trouble coming up to you and saying it. So, I did the usual Chris thing haha, I procrastinated it until you found it the other way." Chris smiled.
"You...are an idiot..." Aria broke into another fit of tears, lightly hitting Chris on his chest.
"I am sorry, kitty. So, I would rather not procrastinate this again, will you come with me please?" Chris stroked her hairs and asked as his heartbeats raced erratically, afraid to hear her answer.
"I..." Aria looked into his eyes and smiled brightly like the brightest star in the dark midnight.
"I won\'t."
"What?!" Chris\'s eyes widened, his heart aching as he looked at Aria with a shocked and heartbroken look on his face.
"What? You want me to just throw all my work away and follow you to unknown city while you couldn\'t even be truthful to me?"
"I...fair enough...but..."
"You didn\'t tell me the truth earlier and now you are here, after three days continuously torturing me with worry and overthinking."
"..." Chris\'s face who always had an air of confidence was now twisted in agony, pain and defeat as he heard all the harsh facts he had twisted in his mind earlier.
"I am sorry...?" Chris asked uncertainty in his voice.
"You expect me to forgive you just because you recognise your mistake now and are apologizing?"
"..." Chris didn\'t say anything for some moments, looking at Aria in astonishment...and then he opened his mouth, speaking in strained and soft voice.
"Yes."
Aria was taken aback by his answer, a smile on her face as she wiped her own tears away and got off his lap.
"You are wrong, Chris. I don\'t forgive you." Aria buttoned her clothes hiding her face from Chris.
However, before Chris can answer again. Aria spoke again,
"I don\'t forgive you, but, I can\'t let you go either...fuck why did you have to put me under your magical trap?!" she shouted.
"You are coming then???" Chris asked in a cheery voice.
"Fuck...yes. I am." Aria sighed, "I can\'t come right now with you though, and I don\'t want you to miss your classes because of me. So, I will come to the SeaShell city at the end of this month."
"Why?? Just come!!" Chris jumped up from the chair and turned Aria to face him.
"I have a job, idiot!" she giggled, hitting him on the chest again.
"Ah...you are hitting me too much today kitty!" Chris smiled brightly, pushing Aria on her desk and throwing all the documents that were on it away.
"They were important!"
"Shush,"
"Mhm~"
...
"I still haven\'t forgiven you, okay?" Aria pouted while wearing her shirt back after having another wild lovemaking session in the cabin.
"Oh my, what am I supposed to do for earning lady Aria\'s forgiveness?" Chris chuckled, throwing on his blazer on his torso and then moving towards Aria to assist her in dressing back.
"Humph, I want every detail of what you do in that new city. And also, bastard, don\'t you dare use your stupid charm on the bitches there." Aria warned.
"As you wish, my lady~" Chris chuckled, putting his hands in Aria\'s pants again.
"Hey! Not again! You bastard~"
"Oops."
...
"You sure took your time, huh?" Max asked, eyeing the flushed Aria who was walking with Chris, her legs limping abruptly in between as she tried hard to maintain that aloof and casual appearance like nothing had happened in the cabin.
"She was kinda too \'angry\' to \'console\' haha," Chris chuckled and shrugged carelessly.
"Oh~ I see~" Max gave a suggestive smirk to Chris, glancing at Aria\'s rosy cheeks and her limping legs as she sometimes used Chris\'s body for support.
"Shut up, horny idiot." Aria scoffed.
Finally he had tied the loose ends together, it was finally time to step it up, move to the arena where bigger sharks fought.
It was time to evolve from a fish of the pond to a new born shark in the ocean, maybe he might be able to become a whale in future.
Finally, it was time to shift into the C-Grade city.
