I was about to pick up a branch of a tree that fell when suddenly someone stepped on it.
“S-sorry..” I heard a familiar voice.
I looked up at the man blocking the sun’s rays in my direction.
I swallowed hard.
What is that sorry for?
For what he did to kiss me or for what he slapped on a tree branch.
“It’s okay..” I said bowing.
“I-I didn’t mean to kiss you!” It says it directly.
“I-I mean I didn’t mean to be that fast, I really want to kiss you but not that fast I mean… maybe I frightened you so im sorry… but I really want to kiss you that time okay.. .” He said shyly, while caressing the back of her neck.
Suddenly, his cheeks turned red, which I could see because of his white and smooth face.
Am I seriously seeing this?
Is he shy?
Is he really blushing?
“O-it’s really okay…” I bowed and said.
I felt him walking towards me.
He caressed my chin and gently lifted it so that our eyes met.
“I really want to kiss you so bad…” He pulled my waist closer until our faces were close, until I could smell his mint breath.
His warm hand traveled to my neck, he mimicked mine, until our lips met.
“The winner for the first one who creates a bonfire and builds the tent is…Team Blue!”
“Whooooo!”
“Yes!”
“That’s our group right?!”
“Oh yes!”
“Whooooo!”
My group mates were very happy to mention our winning team.
The group I belong to is very competitive, that’s why it’s really hard.
“The prize is a pack of snacks and a 50 points.” The head councilor said with a smile.
“Whoooo! Yesss! Thank you Ma’am!” They almost shouted at the same time.
“The amount of points obtained by team blue, so the other team still has a chance, just chase them, the points are getting bigger and bigger, it’s late, so get ready to eat and there will be more games later, the winning team will also have points okay .” He said smiling then left.
“Good thing we won!” One said.
“Eh, Fertine is here with us, it’s a good thing… someone smart came to our tea… he knows a lot so we won!” Our team leader said laughing.
Because I read a way how to light a bonfire more easily and build a tent more easily so that I won’t be poor if there is no one to help me.
I taught them because it looked like they were having a hard time making a bonfire and when we set up a tent, it was easier that’s why we were the first and we won.
“There are also smart people out there but they didn’t win..weak ones!” Another laughed.
“Hey! Don’t blame our group for that later.” A woman said while cooking something in the bonfire.
“Get some rest Fertine, we’ll need your wits later!” The person in front of me laughed.
I slightly smile at them.
“They say there are 8 more games later, it’s only 6 so let’s go and play more than later” The team leader said with a smile.
“I-I’ll go to my tent first… I won’t join.” I told her and walked towards the tent.
“It’s ready!” I heard someone shout.
“What the hell! Let Fertine go, we’ll need that brain later.” One said laughing.
“Alright.”
“I don’t want to play. .im tired.” Wilder said yawning, I stopped at what he said and frowned at what he said but I continued walking to my tent, my tent was only on the side so I went inside, I was startled to see Wilder also enter inside.
“W-what are you doing here?
H-isn’t your tent here?” I stammered to him.
“I traded tents with Sherry. I told her that I will give him a date with Geo, I don’t want to be raped by those horny girls later.” He said with a grin.
“A-ah” was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
I took the yogurt from my back pack.
I didn’t pay attention to his presence by my side even though I knew my heart was beating fast.
Doesn’t a man like him prefer to be with beautiful women? So why did he trade with me?
I’m not as beautiful as the other girls he likes.
I took a few bites of yogurt because it was staring at me.
I looked away from him and took another bite, I turned to him again and he was still staring at me.
“W-why?” I asked him in surprise as he continued to stare at me.
His eyes remained staring at me, he never left mine as if he could see the whole of me.
That look of his is like my kryptonite, I don’t know why I feel weak every time he looks at me like that.
This moment seemed so long to me, even though I knew that his gaze lasted less than a minute. Is it because I enjoy the way he stares at me?
I couldn’t take it anymore and I removed the bag that was on my thigh and put the yogurt I was holding to the side.
That was the time for him to get close to me, which made my heart beat faster. What is he doing
It’s like I’m a stone where I’m sitting because I can’t move and my body is stiff.
What will he do?
I felt a warm palm on my cheek, he was in front of me.
I kept staring into his eyes without moving my eyes as if there was a fight and he would not lose the way he looked.
The way he stares is meaningful as if his eyes are saying something that is easy to know or read without even needing to hear it to know.
His face is very close to mine, the tips of our noses are almost touching, I can feel his fragrant breath near me.
His other hand slowly moved up from my hand to my arm until it stopped at my nape.
His head moved slowly, guiding it closer to me.
