My Future Wife Is Androphobic Chapter 37 - This saturday

Chapter 37 - This saturday

For a moment, Kira fell into a trance. His eyes were glued at Zeri's as they silently stare at each other.
But before Kira could snap out of it and speak, Zeri's phone rang again and the girl abruptly stood.
Kira moved to stand as well but all of the sudden, the girl put her hand on top of Kira's head, pushing him down to stop him from standing.
"Jiro, I'm right here." Zeri waved her hand holding her phone towards a boy standing by the door.
When the 13-year-old boy saw her, he immediately sighed in relief. He was about to walk towards her but Zeri stopped him. "Go back inside, I'm coming." She said and the boy creased his brows. But in the end, he still obeyed despite the slight hesitation in his eyes.
"O-okay, I'll go heat up your dinner." He replied and hesitantly entered the house.
By the time Zeri turned her gaze back to Kira, the young man who was left squatting on the ground, looking at her like an extremely displeased and dejected puppy, made Zeri quickly retracts her hand off his head.
"I'm going in." She then said and Kira's veins could only pop.
Why the hell did this seem like I'm a mistress or something? Why the hell is she hiding me? She even disgracefully pressed the great me down like this?!
All his life, Kira had always been treated like a prince that he was. He had never been treated this way before so these new experiences were almost like a culture shock to him. But the most surprising thing was that he was actually letting this squirrel treat him however she wants. No matter how much he complained inside, he was not doing anything to stop her, and he didn't know why.
Sighing in defeat, Kira stood. He was pressing his lips tight before he casually put his hands in his pocket as he looked at the small bungalow the boy named Jiro had just entered.
"So that boy is your brother. Introduce him to me next time, no, introduce ME to him next time." Kira stated, even over-emphasizing the word 'ME' in his sentence. But Zeri just blinked silently, causing Kira to leaned in on her with a slightly narrowed gaze.
"What, you don't want to introduce your boyfriend to your family?" he asked, moving even closer that his breath was blowing on her face, but…
"Why?" she asked, innocently, tilting her head slightly as she stares at him.
Her question made Kira almost flick her forehead. Ah, seriously…
Kira sighed, raised his one hand, and gently lifted her chin with his finger before he replied to her in a s.e.xy voice. "That's customary." He smirked.
"So you introduced all your countless girlfriends to your family?"
Kira choked. He didn't see this one coming and what? Cough, cough! Did she just say 'countless girlfriends'?
"C-countless girlfriends? Where did you even hear that?" he at least managed to stay cool and speak at her, unaffected.
"Everyone is talking about it in school."
"Oh, so you are interested in the gossips about me huh…"
"No, even if I don't want to, I can't help but hear it, because I can hear it everywhere I go to school."
". . ." Kira didn't know what to say. He scrutinized her face but as expected, he couldn't even see a tiny speck of jealousy in her expressions. As expected, this was another lethal blow on him. Sigh…
"Listen," he started as he let go of her chin. "I never introduced anybody to my family, you understand?" Kira was again surprised in finding himself explaining like this when he used to not even bother even if people would misunderstand him. He was the type who wouldn't care about explaining or even justifying himself to anyone so why was he doing this now?
"Then why are you asking me to do it?" Zeri asked, simply blinking at him.
"Because I'm…" for some reason, Kira bit his lips and he couldn't continue whatever it was that he wanted to say. And then he quickly sighed in surrender. "Ugh, never mind." He groaned, frustrated, but after a short while, Kira raised his hand and run his fingers through his hair as he spoke, this time, his voice switched into something quite confident. "Forget about it for now. Next time, I'll make you understand why got it?"
Zeri's forehead furrowed for a while but she eventually nodded at him. "O-okay."
"Now go or your brother might come out again."
"Mm. I'm going then." Zeri finally started moving away but after taking just a few steps, she halted and looked back at him. "What about you? Would you be fine?" she asked, her brows were knotted slightly as she looked at him, obviously worried, causing Kira to smile.
"What, you're worried about me?" he asked mischievously when unexpectedly, Zeri immediately nodded.
"Mm, I'm worried because I think you're not fast enough to outrun someone so…"
"Tch, just go inside."
"But..."
"One more but and I'll force myself inside your house."
"… o-okay then, be careful."
Zeri continued walking away, but before the girl could reach the house's door, Kira called out.
"Wait." He uttered and Zeri quickly turned to look at him. She saw him striding towards her so she curiously asked.
"What is it? Are you afraid of being left alone?" she said. There was no sign of joke or any mischievousness in her expression. She was dead serious as she said it and it was what made everything even frustrating.
"H-huh?" Kira's veins could only pop again as he stood right before her. His momentum was again disrupted just like that.
"I think I should wait here with you until your car will come and pick you up."
"You…" Kira suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it against the door behind Zeri. "Stop being ridiculous." His gaze turned ice-cold for a moment but the next second, he quickly melted away like a snowflake in her hand. He ruffled her hair as he exhaled deeply. Sigh… can't you even let the atmosphere become romantic for at least five seconds? Are you really a girl, huh, Squirrel?!
"I have something to tell you so listen carefully." He said, looking at her intently in her eyes.
He leaned in on her and when his mouth was now an inch away from her ear, he whispered, "Let's go on a date this Saturday."
