Chapter 34 Seal The Deal (1/2)

Kennedy couldn't help but stare at Laz in shock. This unassuming little boy was able to take her down as though she was nothing and now, even though she was being held down by him, he wasn't choking her or taking advantage of her. In her entire life, he was the first guy who had power over her that didn't try to take advantage of her.

It was an awkward feeling and she didn't know what to make of it. He didn't try to flaunt himself to her and almost totally disregarded her. As strange as it sounded, it made her somewhat interested in him. She might be afraid of him, but that didn't mean she feared he would do something to her.

Laz got off her and stood up as though he hadn't done anything worth mentioning. Although Kennedy had fought with him, he didn't feel any malice from her, nor hatred. From what he could pick up though, her attitude about him had changed although he didn't know how.

Kennedy just laid there for a moment and looked up at him. Despite his age, she couldn't help but think he was somewhat attractive. He wasn't really handsome, but it looks weren't horrible either. Instead, he seemed to project an aura of actual confidence, not just a fake sort of ego that meant he thought he was better than everyone. Laz didn't even know he was doing it.

Laz seemed to think for a moment in silence before extending his hand out to her to help her up. Kennedy's first reaction was to ignore him followed by wanting to smack his hand away but she ended up just reaching her hand out and grabbing his.

Using his normal strength, he pulled her up to her feet and backed off a step so that she could brush herself off without him breathing down her neck. Laz's eyes had returned back to there normal blue color as he looked around at the clearing, seemingly studying how she moved from tree to tree so quickly. Even with her great speed, she would need to make quick decisions to keep herself moving like that and Laz couldn't help but silently complement her in his head.

”How?” Was the only question she could manage to get out despite the various thoughts going through her head.

”You lack experience and although you're fast, you have no strength to your attacks,” was Laz's response back. Although he said this, the truth was she was actually quite a bit stronger than a full grown male. The problem was that Laz was several times stronger than that without even pumping his inner energy.

”So Tony knew about this?” Was the next question she could voice while brushing the dirt and grass off of her clothes. She could only be secretly happy that she didn't get grass stains on her clothes since they were some of her nicer ones. Although she was making some money, it's not like she could afford to spend without care although she had an image to uphold.

”Yeah, he knows. We kind of killed someone together so he has a pretty decent idea about me,” Laz lied. He didn't have a reason to trust this girl yet despite their ”partnership” so he wasn't about to tell her all of his secrets. As always, less is more.

”I guess you're not half bad. I didn't know why he would want me to work with some kid like you, but it seems like you might be somewhat useful,” Kennedy reasoned out loud.

”Yeah, not sure about you though,” Laz fired back.

”What's that suppose to mean?” Kennedy asked while frowning.

”You're too sure of yourself. I don't know why you got so fast, but I can tell you never really practiced it,” Laz commented while starting to walk again. It was getting somewhat late and although he didn't have a time where he had to get to work, he liked to be there by 4 since the latest he could work was 7.

”What's your point then?” Kennedy asked as though she was somewhat interested in what he had to say. She realized the more she talked with him, the more interesting he became. He seemed to be able to teach her some things about her changes which was something she needed. She wanted to be self reliant and not have to have someone protect her, so anything she could learn would be useful.

Kennedy also understood that changing was probably not a good thing. She had seen the stories and heard the reports. Although she didn't know what was going on, she had watched a lot of movies like Laz and therefore knew that it was best to keep this thing secret. One plus side about living in the modern age was that everyone started to figure out how to handle things that would have scared the shit out of people 50 years ago.

”My point is, can you dodge bullets?” Laz stopped and turned around to look at her, wondering what she would say. Kennedy was absorbed into her own thoughts, wondering if this kid could actually help her. Since she hadn't been paying attention to his movements, she failed to react to him stopping and kept walking forward. Since Kennedy was taller than Laz, she ended up walking right into him and burying his face in her ample and perky breasts. Due to her being a bit older, her chest was closer to being a full size woman's than a young growing teen so there was a lot for Laz to get lost in.

For a moment, neither of them moved. Kennedy was so shocked by what happened, she just froze while at the same time, Laz couldn't help but be surprised. He took a deep breath, drawing in Kennedy's unique and wonderful scent. Kennedy jumped back quickly though as soon as she noticed Laz's actions.

Laz stood there in a daze, appreciating the soft and warm feeling that he was just buried in. 'Should I be glad or disappointed that she was wearing a bra,' he thought to himself.

”Why you little...” Kennedy's voice trailed off. He was the one who stopped and turned around, but he didn't walk towards her. She was responsible for the situation that had occurred and although she knew it, she was still going to blame him.

Not missing a beat, Laz put on his most serious face and said, ”Your situational awareness is lacking. You didn't even noticed when I stopped moving. How would you keep track of people shooting at you. It doesn't matter how fast you can move if you don't even know your being shot at.”

Although Laz was serious on the outside, he was bouncing for joy on the inside. 'Wait, is this like first base?' He questioned in his head. For some reason, he couldn't help but change his attitude about her and want to tease her. It probably had to do with that awkward moment they just shared. As they say, sometimes you just need to break the ice.

Kennedy stared at him for a moment and thought he was rather mature for his age if something like this didn't even phase him. She then looked down a bit and noticed the rising tent in his pants which made her throw that thought away. 'Nope. He's still just a horny kid.'

”I almost thought you were cool there for a minute, but then your boner ruined it,” Kennedy said with a somewhat devilish smile on her face. She really wanted to kick this guy's ass.
