Failing to save the world

The corner of Zoey's lips twitched as she heard imaginary guns cocking in the air. She let out a sigh because now, she had saved the world from the brewing world war three.

"Hahaha! What a funny guy!" Nikolai chuckled loudly, clapping his hands along as the grin on his lips grew wider.

"Too bad, though. There wouldn't be a cleaning job to do."

Nikolai added, smacking his lips as he shook his head sideways. By the grin on his lips, Zoey could tell he was taunting Matthew.

'My darling will not get provoked by Niko's pettiness. Heck! My Darling is a matured, level-headed, and…' 

Just as Zoey was convincing herself that her darling was better than this, Matthew's words made nearly choke on her internal thoughts.

"I'm afraid they have already started sweeping the garbage outside." Matthew shrugged nonchalantly as his eyes glinted upon seeing the slight change in that pair of hazel eyes staring back at him.
