115 Chapter 115: Can we talk? (1/2)
Stella ignored him as she covered her ears and stomped her feet forward.
”Stella !!”
She turned around asked grumpily, ”What?”
Stella puffed up her cheeks while she glared at him. She thought sulkily, 'Just why would he do that in front of Loki?'
Usui asked amusedly, ”Why are you sulky now?”
She squinted her eyes as she said irritably, ”Don't you know why I am being like that?”
Usui looked at her as he tried to suppress his chuckle.
She narrowed her eyes as she asked, ”Why did you have to ask that in front of him?”
Usui composed his face as he asked innocently, ”What? Why shouldn't I ask that in front of him? We always did that before?”
Stella glared at Usui as she stressed, ”Yes..we did but that was when we were young.”
Usui looked hurt as he said, ”Are you calling me old? Mind you, I am just one year older than you.”
Stella closed her eyes as she yelled angrily, ”Zeke!!”
Usui burst out laughing making Stella scowl. She tapped her feet impatiently as she waited for him to stop.
He coughed loudly but he still had that huge grin on his face.
”I was just playing with some fire.”
Stella asked confused, ”Fire?”
Usui nodded as he didn't want to make it easy for the guy. He looked at her and teased, ”Anyway, why can't I ask him?”
Stella squeezed her lips and turned her head away. Her cheeks were slightly red.
Usui sighed as he mumbled, ”Did you have to fall for that cold face guy?”
Stella retorted instantly, ”What cold-faced guy? Loki isn't like that.”
The Loki she knew was definitely not like that! Her Loki knew how to be playful, to display his anger vividly, how to care, and to pamper well.
Usui raised his eyebrow when he saw the sweet smile that graced her face. He looked at her as if asking, 'Really? Are you blind?'
Stella rolled her eyes and wiped away her sweet smile. She still accused him, ”I'm not forgiving you for what you did.”
Usui smiled slyly, ”Why are you blaming me? You totally had the chance to thwart my question but you didn't. Weren't you the one who dug your own grave?”
Stella raised her finger and pointed at him frustratedly. She stammered, ”Y-you...” so shameless!
Stella looked at him angrily as she thought, 'Why did I even think of helping this doofus? I should have just left it at that and made him suffer.'
Stella gripped her hair frustratedly and squatted down as she thought of how to clear this matter with him. Even if he didn't like her, she didn't want any misunderstandings between them.
Little did she know that the misunderstandings occurred the moment she called out Zeke that night.
Usui saw her squatting down and felt a little guilty. He patted her shoulder as he said, ”There...there... it is fine. I don't think he will misunderstand.”
Usui nodded his head stiffly, ” In case he misunderstands, I will clear it up, okay?”
Stella's eyes brightened as she hopped up and hugged Usui tightly. She mumbled, ”You promised, so don't go back in your word,”
Usui sighed, ”I shouldn't have promised then.”
Stella looked at him and said, ”Zeke!!”
Usui laughed as he wrapped his arm around her and said, ”I know... I will take care of it. Believe in your brother.”
Stella giggled as she said, ”Zeke...you are the best.”
”Yeah yeah”
They walked away laughing without knowing that they were being observed by one person who was itching to lock Usui in a battle.
Loki crushed his palm into a fist as he scoffed at their backs. He thought she would have a reason for behaving like that but it seems like she doesn't!
Coldness seeped through his eyes as he looked at the pair giggling. He snorted, 'Why did I even think that she had a reason?'
Even though he hated himself for thinking like that, he knew it was because of her eyes. Her eyes were screaming that she was innocent.
He huffed coldly as he thought, 'What a fool I was!'
He turned around to enter the house when he saw the entire group standing at the door. He hid his surprise as he glanced at them cooly but he knew he couldn't hide it from one person.
Loki refused to look in her direction and continued to stare elsewhere.
