" Ehh?! "
" Sorry if I surprise you, I just don't want to get married to someone I don't even know or love "
" wait, wait, don't tell me in this modern world there still an arrange marriage? "
" Yeah and my family was trying me to get married through an arranged marriage, so can you pretend to be my girlfriend? we can establish a contract that will benefit you "
" Contract? just like a job? "
" yes, that's right think of it as a part-time job, I will pay you monthly- "
" No, I don't like that, I can help you without it "
I felt speechless as she says it with a clear eye, I smile as I think that there are still people who will not take advantage of me.
" I'm so glad that I met a real angel "
" eh? angel? where? "
" this one "
I pointed my finger at her and Axea's face suddenly goes red, I chuckled and look at her in the eyes.
" So you will do it? "
" Yeah, of course, I don't think you're a bad person "
" really? everyone says I'm a bad person though "
" I will only believe to what my eyes see "
" really? hahaha you really are different "
" Yeah, you already say it earlier right? I'm an angel "
I chuckle and Axea chuckles too, she slowly put down the ice pack back into my eyes and I relax.
" Oh, Axea where are you studying now? "
" It was near here, The Granite Hills University "
" Oh really?! I'm familiar with that school and by the way, I was attending Edgewood girl's High School "
" Oh really? Then why are you near my school? "
" ah well someone challenges me so we came there and well you already know what happens"
" is it a gang fight? "
" you can say that but it was five vs two "
" Then which school are they from? "
" Your school "
" What? "
" Yeah, oh what was their gang name... Oh! it's Raijū "
I didn't hear anything, I remove the ice pack and saw Axea freeze in her sit.
" Hey, are you okay? "
" Did you manage to defeat them? "
" Yeah of course, but their leader is such a coward she uses a knife in a fistfight "
" for real? "
" Yeah, why? "
" Well they are such a big bully in our school "
" by any chance did they bullied you too? "
" No, but their leader was pursuing me "
" What? did you decline? "
" Yes but she still bothering me "
" then my plan was a win-win since I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend to my parents and friends, you will need me too so that they won't bother you anymore "
" Oh yeah, that's a perfect plan "
" Then this is our first day? "
" Yeah "
I smile as I saw Axea's bashful face, I reach for her cheeks and gently touch them.
" We still had a lot of time to discuss everything about our relationship, like how do we met, how do we fell for each other and lastly personal details about you and me, birthdays, favorites, or hobby, etc. "
" Okay, should I get some beverage before we start? "
" sure "
Axea gives me the ice pack and gets out of the room, I put the ice pack into my eyes, and wait for Axea to come back, after a minute, I hear the door opens and I remove the ice pack in my eyes to look at the door, I saw mina with a lot of beverage, I try to get up but get startled when mina cutely raises her voice.
" Hey! Don't get up on your own! you can't force your body to move like that! "
I lay back just like an obedient cub, I look at Axea, and she put-downs the beverage at the table and glares at me, I shiver and I just look at her with gloomy puppy eyes.
" I already told you earlier, what if your wound opens up again? aish your so stubborn "
" I'm sorry, I just can't stay still "
Axea just sighs and helps me to sit down, she sits down in front of me and took two coke and opens it, she gave me the other one and she drinks the other we start talking about the things we need so that no one will doubt our relationship.
" I want to stick with how we really met, but we will change the time, it will be last month "
" Oh really? okay, and then after that we spend more time with each other "
" Yes, then I confess to you and said I fall for you at the first sight and pursue you "
" and then I got touch by your efforts and I said yes to you "
" that's a perfect plan don't you think? "
" yeah it looks real, but how we will deal with the physical contacts? "
" I'm not awkward with it, how about you? "
" I'm also fine with it, since your so cute- "
I stop drinking my coke as I heard Axea says that, when I look at her she looks so shocked and covered her mouth.
" Ah, so you really thinks I'm cute hmm?~ "
I playful said and teases her, Axea just avert her eyes and her face was already red, I slowly cup her chin and made her look at me.
" Hey, Axea should we try out the physical contacts now? "
" E-ehh?! "
I slowly come closer to her and she closes her eyes forcibly, I just grin and kiss her cheeks, I move away but before I get away from Axea, she holds my face and pulls me towards her, our lips were crashes to each other and I felt my ears becomes hot, she let go of my cheeks and I end up spacing out and after I realize what just happened I look at Axea and she was looking at me with a bashful face.
" Y-yah... Axea, why did you take my first kiss? "
" But you also did take my first kiss... "
" so in other words you will take responsibility for this right? "
" then you should take responsibility on me too "
I chuckle as it was the first time that someone fights back to what I'm saying, I drink my coke to ease the hotness I'm feeling I just shake my head as I didn't expect that it is possible to kiss someone that you just met.
" ah, Axea I was wondering what should I call you? we can't call each other in a formal way "
" Hm you right, then what about nicknames? "
" nicknames? sure but I don't have any "
" then your nickname will be hmm... Jell? trouble? "
" ahahaha, I guess you have talent's in giving people nicknames "
" It's just that, those nicknames suits you since your such a cutie "
" I didn't know you can be flirty huh "
" Hey I'm not flirting "
" well you can flirt with me since you will be my girl "
" aish, stop that Jell "
I stop as I heard Axea calling me in the nickname she gives, I felt something inside of me, is this what they called butterfly, in love? ah, it was so soothing, her warm voice, gave comfort to me.
" Hey,Jell are you okay? "
" ah yeah, hahah, I just lost in thoughts, so your nickname will be uhmm... Axxi? Penguin? "
" hahah, penguin? "
" Yup, I can see that you really like penguins and I notice you walk like a penguin too, other means, you're cute "
"yah! this is illegal! why do you need to be this cute! and handsome! and beautiful?! "
Axea holds my cheeks and looks closely at my face, I grin and steal a kiss, I hold her hands and kiss it and I put back her hands in my cheeks feeling in her warmth, I smile and we stay like that for a minute, Axea just sighs as she looks at me, I just wink and she chuckles.
" Don't you think I'm going too fast? "
" hm? in what Jell? "
" This is only a contract but I think I'm going too fast "
" It's fine since I'm just enjoying my short life "
I look at Axea and she just smiles at me.
" short life? "
" hehe, uhh well we all have a short life, right? "
" yeah "
" that's why it's fine since I'm happy too because I don't feel lonely now in this house "
we both smile at each other and talks about a lot of things and how we should act around my parents and friends, I just look at Axea and she was talking while her eyes were shining, I smile the entire time as we talk, I wish that she stays with me forever.
