New Quest

[Next day]

After dropping off Lisa and Alice at the academy, I went to Nebula's office. I've called her in the morning and let her know that I'll be swinging by. Well, you can't exactly call it an office since there are tons of cybernetic parts and weapons lying around, and she only has one simple desk to work with. A couple of chairs and a big self on the right side of the wall. The AC is humming softly. Still, it was somewhat of an office. As for her, as usual, fiddling with her right arm. Must be tweaking some codes or reworking the wiring...

She glanced at me as soon as I entered the room.

"Hey, you look good today," I can smell a sweet fragrance in the air, don't know what kind, but it's definitely good. Wait! Nebula is wearing new clothes other than her usual grey and black armor and long coat?! That dark yellow jacket and white shirt underneath!

"Hey," Nebula was short with words, yet she's the most beautiful and one of the few girls I know to possess such elegance and attitude that can charm just about... I don't know about others, but me for sure.

"Something is... Different. Don't tell me," I went to her and leaned in closer to her face. She glanced into my eyes. Ah! Those lips... The way we kissed and made out that night in the shooting range... I would like to very much do that session once again. Well, don't know what she's thinking right now, now that I'm so close to her face.

"Well, can you guess? What is different?" She interrupted my flashback from just now, urging me to answer her question.

"Hmmm... You should wear different clothes like today more often. It makes you look good. And..." I said as I took a close sniff from her neck, to which she didn't say anything, "You smell so good! I don't know what, but it's alluring."

"Really? You think so?" She asked as she glanced at her clothes, "You aren't making fun of me, are you? Other than Cosmo, everyone said I look weird in these things and they are kinda uncomfortable to move around in."

"That's why... They are all morons and can't see how pretty and hot you are," I let out a chuckle as I shook my head. Of course, everyone is surprised to see the sudden change in her. I mean, a woman who only spends most of her time in a shooting range and upgrading her body and that old ship, now wearing perfume and new clothes is a change anyone could notice. "But, I can't fight in these tight pants." She stood up and showed her new pair of dark blue jeans. "This is kinda impractical."

I tapped her forehead, "You should relax sometimes and try out different things other than just doing your monotonous routine."

"Alright, I'll give it a shot..." She let out a sigh as she sat back down. "So, what brought you here? Did you forget something yesterday?" Nebula asked me.

"Oh, nope," I pulled back and pulled a nearby chair to sit across from her.

"Wait! Don't tell me, you are here to kiss me again?" Nebula questioned me, but it kinda sounded more like a statement than a question.

"Haha... That's the first thing that came to your mind?! Although I wouldn't mind doing that, I'm here for something else," I leaned forward and rested my chin on my palms, gazing straight into her eyes. Humm... She'll be a perfect model for me. Oh, can't wait to take her pictures in sexy dresses and maybe we can have a steamy photoshoot session like those from porn.

Nice! The quest screen finally popped up and it's 1 million fucking credits this time. And the quest is very clear with no penalty or time limit. To think that the system generates quests with what I'm doing or planning to do in the future is kinda handy. I've heard of the slave system from the fanfics and manhuas in my past life, which forces the MC to do different things for rewards and on failure big penalty. But this one is different. If I'm not wrong, if I play my cards right, I might just be able to create quests myself, just like now. Gotta test it out more.

"What's with that grin plastered over your face? Something funny happened?" Nebula tilted her head slightly while asking me.

"No... Nothing," I waved my hand, "Just imagining you in different types of clothes and taking pictures of you."

"Pictures?!" Nebula raised her eyebrows and questioned me again.

"Yeah. You ever thought of becoming a model? You know, Gamora is already doing some side gigs and as you said, she's kinda popular and the face of different brands. So, how about you become my model? I'm planning on opening a studio first then a fashion store. I want you, Nebula to become the face of my brand," I told Nebula my plans directly. There's no need to beat around the bush with her.

"Hmm... Modeling. Me? You are making fun of me, aren't you?" She sighed and turned away, "I don't fit that role."

"Nope, I'm serious here. Just like now, you are the prettiest girl I know," I nodded my head multiple times, trying to convince Nebula.

"People will just make fun of me," She brushed off my compliment, "Besides, I don't know how to pose like Gamora."

"Don't worry about that. I'll teach you how. Besides, you don't have to compare yourself to her," I stood up and went behind her and wrapped my hands around her neck and whispered into her ears, "You are unique in your own way, Nebula. Don't stress about it. Why doubt yourself without even trying once? Besides, you won't be alone. Fiona will also be joining you and if everything goes right, I'll recruit Lisa and Alice as well."

"I don't know..." Nebula leaned behind, her cheek touching mine. To think, she would allow me this close to her...

"Then how about we bet on something like before? If you lose then you gotta listen to me," I proposed a deal to her.

"What if you lose?" She asked me.

"Then I'll take you on a nice date after I shift to Xander and then I'll continue to pester you until you agree to be my model," I hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go.

"A date? Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" She glanced at me.

"Yeah!"

"But we are not a couple, are we?" She questioned me.

"We did make out. So, if you are willing to, we can be a couple?" I proposed another offer to her.

"You are too straightforward sometimes." Nebula stood up, leaving my embrace. "If you are looking for a quick fling, I'm not interested."

I turned her around, grabbed her waist, and pulled her closer. Our bodies were pressed against each other as I stared into her eyes, "Do I look like someone who just wants to fuck you and throw you away? Nebula, I'm serious here. I genuinely like you and you know that, don't you?"

Her body stiffened. I could feel her heart beating fast as I held her in my arms. Nebula averted her gaze and avoided eye contact with me. "I..." Her voice trailed off, "I'm..."

Before she could finish, I pressed my lips against hers, silencing her. She slowly opened her mouth slightly allowing my tongue to slip in. We exchanged our saliva as we kissed passionately. I can feel that stiffness in her body disappearing. My hands moved down and grabbed her firm butt cheeks, giving it a slight squeeze.

"Hmmmm!!!" Nebula moaned into my mouth but she continued kissing me hard now. She grabbed my cheeks with her hands as she deepened our passionate kiss.

Woah! She's getting better at this...

God! This is the second time I'm making out with her and it still feels like a dream...

"Fuuu!" She finally pulled back, gasping for air, her face flushed blue, her chest rising up and down as she pants, "I'll kill you if you abandon me."

"Who says I would do that?" I smiled at her as I licked her lips.

"You are just too smooth with your words. I don't know how to react," Nebula averted her eyes from me again.

"Well, I am pretty smooth when I talk to girls," I pinched her cheeks as I teased her.

"Hey! What are you doing?" She asked confused. Oh, yeah, she doesn't even know what teasing is, haaa...

"It's called teasing. Don't worry. I'm not harming you," I chuckled.

"Is that what a couple do?" She asked innocently.

"Hmmm... You can say that. Sometimes couples tease each other. It's nothing harmful or dangerous. It's just to lighten up the mood and I'm teasing you because I love you, Nebula," I confessed my feelings to her once again.

Nebula also pulled my cheeks softly with an awkward expression, "Is that how you do it? Was it good?"

Hahahaha! Now she's copying me. Haa... This is kinda cute... "Yeah! It's perfect. Now my turn..." I also returned the favor.

"So are you going to be my model?"

"Ok. I'll do it," She pinched my nose this time.

Sometimes, it's just soothing to do something so childish. We continued to tease each other for a while as we laughed, forgetting all about the time.
