My Future Wife Is Androphobic Chapter 41 - Bear

Chapter 41 - Bear

Kira pinched the skin between his brows upon hearing what the girl just replied. He was again utterly speechless. He couldn't help but feel frustrated but as always, all he could do was force himself to calm down. He won't let anything ruin this date. No matter what, he will definitely make this girl fall for him at the end of this day.
Quietly, Kira moved towards her. He bent closer until their faces were just inches apart.
But as expected, the girl remained undisturbed and just stared at him with her signature straight face. Her lack of reaction didn't even make Kira feel the usual annoyance anymore. It seemed like he finally got used to it.
Kira strapped her into the harness. He was so close that his hair was almost touching Zeri's face. He glanced s.e.xily at her. His eyes were so unusually intense; it was enough to tantalize any girl. But of course, this certain squirrel always seemed to be the only exemption.
Still keeping his cool, Kira quietly tucked her hair behind her ears. What he did make the girl's eyes turned slightly wide but in Kira's standard, her reaction was still considered extremely weak. It was because the emotion that appeared in her blank eyes was nothing but confusion. He could even see a huge question mark in her eyes. Regardless, the corner of his lips still curved up.
After putting the headphones on her, Kira finally leaned away from her and buckled himself into his seat.
The helicopter then rose slowly and smoothly into the air and in no time, they were now flying thousands of feet above the ground.
Kira planned to talk to her about the magnificent landmarks and everything that they were seeing below to stir a romantic conversation while they both enjoy this romantic trip. He was even prepared to coax her in case she'll get nervous. But just as he was about to speak, the girl beat him and spoke first.
"Wow!!" she exclaimed in great excitement. Her sparkling eyes were now fixated at the breathtaking scenery she was seeing; her cheek was even touching the window as if she still couldn't get enough of it.
Her fearless reaction surprised Kira. He thought she would at least feel some anxiety but she was immediately acting hyper? Could it be that this wasn't the first time she rode a helicopter?
"Sq… Zeri, is this your first time riding a helicopter?" he asked and the girl's reply was late.
"Yes," she answered without even looking at him.
As the helicopter flew higher, the girl beside him was getting more and more awed by the beauty she was seeing. Her attention was now focused on the clouds and her eyes sparkled even brighter.
Kira leaned in on her, aiming to get some attention when suddenly, Zeri grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to the window.
"Look!! Look! That cloud looks like a bear!" she exclaimed. Her face was bright and her expression changed. Her usual blank face was now filled with wonder and excitement and she was really cute Kira couldn't take his eyes away from her face.
"Did you see it?!" she asked and when she saw that Kira was not looking at the direction she was pointing at, she suddenly cupped his face between her palms and forced him to look outside the window.
Kira's veins almost began to pop but the warmth of her palm distracted him.
"It's a bear, right?! Right?!"
Kira finally gave in and glanced at the bear cloud she was talking about. It was indeed shaped like a bear.
"Yeah, it is." He agreed unenthusiastically. He didn't understand why that damn cloud bear made her so damn excited when he couldn't. Tch! Damn! Calm down, Kira!
"It's so cute! Right?!" she asked again and Kira sighed.
"You're one thousand times cuter." He muttered and finally, the girl's attention shifted to him and turned to look at him.
She stared at him quietly for three seconds before she slightly tilted her head.
Watching her, Kira was suddenly filled with anticipation. This was normally the time for her to at least blush but…
"I don't think so. That bear looks so fluffy, it's definitely much much cuter than anyone or anything." She said, her face was so serious as if she was stating a certain scientific fact. And then she returned her gaze towards the clouds again, looking at them as if she was admiring a certain magnificent art while he on the other hand couldn't help but stare at this cute and heartbreakingly annoying masterpiece right beside him.
'Ah, this girl… what shall I do with you?'
The huge City A was getting closer. Zeri was again hyped up.
"Looks great?" Kira tried to pull her attention again but the girl answered him without even glancing at him for the second time around.
"Mm. It's beautiful!" she answered, enthusiastically. Seeing her in such a rare expression, Kira sighed. But he was not displeased. He was a bit disappointed but seeing her enjoying herself like this wasn't bad at all. He realized that he likes watching her when she's excited.
Kira thought that there's still plenty of time so he decided to let her enjoy this ride for now because, after this, it's his turn to monopolize her attention. Thinking about their next destination, Kira was smiling by himself. He looked excited and confident as if he was certain that this next step would definitely be a success.
While Kira was busy thinking about his next move, he was suddenly pulled by the energetic squirrel once again.
"That place… we're going there, right?!" the stars in her eyes dramatically increased. When Kira looked at the place she was pointing at, his expression became blank.
The place she was talking about was… Disney Land.
"No. We can't. We're not heading there." His voice was serious and firm.
"Why?" she asked and her face became extremely disappointed. Her reaction almost choked Kira. He didn't expect this girl to react so strongly, just because he said no.
"Why can't we go there?" she asked again. Her expression was almost pained and Kira was utterly speechless. 'What the hell's wrong with this girl?! Why is she… why the hell is she showing all these expressions just because… just because… ugh! Calm down Kira, think about the schedule and stick with it or else… everything will be wasted.'
Clearing his throat, Kira tried to keep his composure.
"Because we are going somewhere far better." He finally replied. He even winked at her meaningfully but what she got from her was a disappointed pout and Kira felt like a bolt of pink lightning struck him hard.
