The room was enveloped with cold silence again. However, the moment Zaki noticed Sei’s finger, curiosity gleamed in his eyes.
"Anyway Sei, what happened to your finger?" he asked mischievously as his gaze was directed into Sei’s thumb wrapped with a pink Band-Aid.
That moment, Sei just slowly raised his hand and the moment he stared at his thumb, the exact scene where Davi was sucking it popped inside his head. Causing him to just turned red again.
Looking at his reaction, Zaki almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
My god! Did he just blush? Seriously? Am I hallucinating?
Zaki shook his head before he looked at him again. He even went and hastily turned all the lights on to see his face. However, when he confirmed what he saw was indeed real, he almost choked himself.
Holy sh*t! This monster is actually blushing!
Zaki was flabbergasted, he never dreamed that one day he will see this guy of all people blushing while looking at his thumb wrapped with pink lovey-dovey Band-Aid. That moment, Zaki was too dumbfounded to talk, so he could only bring out his cellphone and took a shot of the man who was still staring at his thumb without saying anything and looking quite dazed.
...
Just after their quiet dinner...
Davi was staring intently at Sei when the masked man noticed her piercing gaze. He raised his head and looked at her.
The girl was just staring without saying anything, even though she looked like she definitely has something she wanted to say so bad.
"Tell me, what is it," he finally said causing the girl to snap as she blinked. And a second later, she suddenly stood and she quickly moved and sat beside him.
"Sei, how about I’ll apply as your body guard?" she suddenly asked, with a serious look. Causing the man to fell quite speechless that three dots just appeared invisibly above his head. He didn’t expect her to say something like this.
"I... I will learn, the teacher that will help me grow stronger will come tomorrow morning, right? I’ll definitely become stronger." She continued, looking so determined even though the man wasn’t saying a word.
"You may not believe me but I’m quite good, if I learn more, I’ll definitely beat five men at once," she added and a wild strong will blazed across her alluring eyes.
Looking at her made the masked man felt quite surprised, at the same time, amazed. Even though he knew how brave and strong she was, this is the first time she expressed what she wanted so zealously like this.
So this is her, when she’s worried about me, huh...
That moment, Sei couldn’t help but felt amazingly amused. He didn’t know why but the way she worries about him right now made his heart unbelievably warm. He didn’t know how to describe it but he was happy. So happy that he didn’t realize that a smile slowly carved in his face.
"You don’t have to. I won’t let you. I have thousands of men to do that. I agreed to get you a teacher for you to learn how to protect yourself specially when I’m not around, okay?" he said softly and without fading the smile in his face as he lifted his hand and caressed her head gently as ever, as if she was his most precious treasure.
Not knowing that as soon as the girl saw his smile, she went dumbfounded that she couldn’t even understand what he was saying anymore. Her eyes widened and she reflexively covered her mouth as he stared at his thin gorgeous lips carving a smile for the first time ever in front of her.
