Kuina's heart started racing as she looked at the hand in his hand.
As she thought when she was with this man she couldn't keep up with her straight face as if she was weak before him. This must be one of the reasons she was attracted to this man. She had become curious about him even before meeting him and that night during the meeting she was certain that this man was truly an interesting person. If previously before meeting him her interest in him was 30% it had increased to 60% and there was a saying that when a woman was curious about a man, it was only a matter of time before she fell in love with that man.
Strangely she was not afraid of this outcome almost as if she was welcoming such a possibility if not she wouldn't have taken the initiative to invite him on a date even if she had ulterior motives.
'Sigh! What I'm even doing.' Kuina thought for a moment before shaking her head there is no need to cry over spilled milk. Gotta enjoy the day she finally decided.
??
The shops lined the two sides of the commercial.
It wasn't a holiday, everybody has to be in school. This was why the commercial district wasn't flooded with people.
The weather still brought a lot of people out of their homes. The commercial district was about half of its maximum capacity even without the presence of students.
Alex and Kuina walked along the street as they walked hand-in-hand.
He doesn't know if Kuina skipped her special class but since she was here, she would probably fess up once he strolls around the commercial district with her.
Kuina also stayed away from heavy topics. She only talked about daily life and some other topics like what was in the stores here.
Nobody could peg her as the sole heir to the Foxia Kingdom because they have disguised themselves to avoid trouble.
They visited the stores here like a normal couple.
As time went on, the bags Alex carried started to pile up while Kuina also held onto a few bags of goods. They decided not to put it inside their storage space and enjoy the day like normal people.
The two spent most of the day shopping without engaging in further intimate actions like saying sweet-nothings to one another. They also held each other's hands throughout the day except for when Kuina had to go try on new clothes.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm The two were shocked by how long this charade continued.
Alex couldn't believe Kuina had held onto his hand this long. He expected her to shake him off.
Kuina also proactively held hands with him after trying on new clothes, a feat he didn't expect.
Rin is also confused by her reaction. She didn't understand why the concept felt so natural to her. She also felt a bit disappointed whenever he let her go.
Subconsciously, she would always grab his hand at the next chance to do so.
It was only a few months ago that they met each other for the first time but to think she'd feel this comfortable being with him.
In any case, they wrapped up the morning by having some quiet time sitting on the bench in the park. He cast his bags of goods aside with a relieved smile. Kuina also stretched her back with a toothy grin.
"That was fun."
"Of course."
He raised the bags as if to remind her.
"You used my money to buy your stuff, anyone would be happy if they were in your shoes."
"Yes, not gonna lie, that felt incredible."
Kuina drank her beverage with a single glance in his direction.
"Plus, you looked like you had no issue forking out the dough. Surely, you wouldn't argue about small change with me, right?"
"You've got an astute pair of eyes."
He rolled his eyes.
"Money is just a string of numbers on a digital sheet to me. If I wasn't so modest, I am sure I could buy a small city."
"The entire city?"
Kuina almost spat out her drink.
"You're that rich?"
"Yes, unfortunately."
He shrugged.
"I am one of the bourgeoises like your mother."
"Dang."
Kuina gnashed her teeth.
"Had I known I would have bought all the gems in the jewelry store just now."
"You're talking about spending other people's money without batting an eye."
"Anyway, we went on a date, we also went shopping. It's about time you tell me why you invited me out, right?"
Kuina stared silently at the fountain in front of her.
Then, she asked the question on her mind.
"What is your ultimate goal?"
He looked at the sky as he reached out to claw at something invisible.
"A chance to stand at the top."
He chuckled.
"You want to become the strongest, huh?"
Kuina bitterly laughed.
"Looks like we are in the same boat."
He rested his hands behind his head.
''So that's your goal as well? Maybe we will compete at the top to decide the final winner. Just for you to know I will be the winner.'' He added with a confident smile.
Kuina was irritated seeing Alex's confident face. She had the impulse to bash his face on the bench to erase that annoying smile from his face but knew deep down that she was not his match, the guy was the real deal since unlocking his sealed Gift. The feats he achieved weren't something even a golden spoon such as her could hope to accomplish.
Alex was a real monster and his future achievements were limitless.
While Kuina was lost in thoughts Alex observed her exquisite face from the sideline and couldn't help but acknowledge again how beautiful and seductive this woman was. He couldn't help but want to make her his and to do naughty things with her.
''I bet you must be thinking of some naughty things judging by your lecherous face,'' Kuina said as if she could read his thoughts.
Alex shuddered having his thoughts laid bare but there was no way he gonna acknowledge this fact.
''You must be imagining it.''
''Hehehe! You have the habit of looking at the ground while lying. It is why I like hanging out with you. I like spending time with you Alex and I hope it's last forever.'' Kuina declared with a serious face, this sudden declaration caught Alex off guard.
''Eh?"
It was all he could say.
