Chapter 99 - A Bit of Understanding (2/2)

”HAHAHAHAHAHA” Kat suddenly fell backwards on the ground in laughter, leaving Laz slack jawed. She even rolled around on the grass a bit while her hands were stilled bound by her bra. Apparently, she felt her joke was rather hysterical.

Laz just took a deep breath and watched her silently, not saying a word.

”Oh come on, don't be like that. We are both kind of adults here. Well, some of us more than others,” Kat finally sat up after collecting herself and started trying to get her hands free which was proving to be a bit difficult. Although it had seemed like a good idea at the time, the straps from the restraining harness were wrapped up in the bra and her arms were actually stuck like this.

”Damn it,” Kat struggled to get loose without ripping anything. Laz, seeing her struggling so much, couldn't help but to finally break down laughing himself.

Kat, desperately trying to struggle free, noticed Laz laughing his ass off. Taking a look at herself, sitting on the ground while being 'tied up' in her own clothing, she couldn't help but laugh along with him. For several minutes, they both just laughed like maniacs without a care in the world.

When they finally settled down, Laz noticed Kat looking at him while giving him big puppy dog eyes.

”Yeah yeah, alright.” Laz walked over and started working to get her loose.

”You asked me why I seem different right?” Kat asked while looking away.

”Yes...” Laz replied while trying to carefully unwrap the strap in his hand while not touching her surging breasts. The way things were going, he almost wanted to just have her take the top off entirely, but he wasn't about to ask that.

”It's because, out here, I feel free. I can just let the stress of the world disappear while letting myself go as fast and as far as I want.”

Kat sighed to herself.

”I know I'm weird. And lately, things are just getting worse.” Kat let her whole body relax and practically fall limp. Suddenly Laz, who was still busy undoing a stubbornly caught piece of material, felt the change sweep over her. Without hesitation, he let go of what he was doing and jumped back, landing in a crouched position. Looking around, he finally noticed that the feeling of danger he got was from her.

”Take off your bracelet,” Kat said, while not moving.

Laz, noticing it was still around his wrist despite not wearing anything else, slid the bracelet off and set it aside. Once it was no longer in contact with his skin, he could feel the resonance with Kat. She was like him.

”Strange, isn't it? I was already kind of a bit of a freak before. And now it seems like I am going to turn into an actual freak. How fun is that?” Kat couldn't help but mockingly laugh at herself.

Laz started to understand, if only just a bit. Kat had what most guys and girls wouldn't call strange tastes. She liked to work out, be fit, and had a fiery and outgoing personality. Normally, that would be considered a good thing, as long as it was in moderation. But Kat was probably never moderate with things. Although Laz had just met Jon for a short amount of time, he got the impression that her old man was more of a shoot first, ask questions later kind of guy. Being raised by someone like him would make her personality very similar. Although people found that type of attitude refreshing on occasion, it wasn't something that they could deal with over a long period of time. Laz suddenly got the feeling that Kat was a very lonely person.

”So, at least when I run, I can go as fast and as hard as I want. Just feeling my muscles burn in general is the best feeling in the world to me, even if I don't know why. That's why I love working out. Most guys are cool with that, at first. But then at some point, they start to find it annoying. Ha! The greatest expression they make is when they find out that you can bench more than they can... I've never seen guys run away faster than when that happens.” Kat didn't know why she was telling Laz this. For her, she never let these emotions out normally. She would just hit something a few times and feel better. But with this kid who was like her, she suddenly let her defenses drop.

Nodding his head, although he had loads of questions, he felt that now wasn't the right time. Laz approached Kat again and started working on her bra.

”Yep. You are weird. Honestly, I don't know how a guy would be attracted to a muscle head like you. Even I wanted to run the first time I met you.” Which was true, but only because he felt like she was dangerous.

Kat just stared at Laz blankly, as though she was expecting something else from him.

”I mean, minus these sacks of fat right here, what else do you have going for you?” Laz suddenly backed away from her and slapped down, causing her breasts to start wobbling with an audible smack. Kat, being stunned, didn't even know her hands had been freed.

”But I personally think that you are rather hardcore. And that's exactly what I need in a trainer right now. This world is going to shit real quick and I know I need to be stronger. Therefore, if I have to chase someone's ass through the woods while being half naked, I'm kind of glad that at least it's an attractive ass.” With that, Laz finished his slightly encouraging speech.

For a moment, nothing but silence could be heard. Then, before Laz could blink, the world started to spin before he came to an abrupt stop against the ground, laying on his back. Blinking his eyes a few times, he noticed Kat was standing over him while breathing a bit heavily.

”Looks like my little toy seems to have gotten a bit cheeky. I was planning on going a bit easier on you, but fuck that. By the time I'm done with you, you're going to be dragging your ass back to the dojo while crawling.” Kat had smiled the entire time she was saying this and suddenly, Laz got the feeling that maybe he had gone a bit too far. Before he knew it, he saw her jump into the air. If he didn't move, her foot was going to forcefully hit him and it looked like it was aiming for his family jewels.

Rolling out of the way, Laz got back to his feet quickly as he watched Kat stand up from where she had landed. Seeing her smiling at him without blinking, one thought went through his head at this point: RUN!

'Oh shit.” Laz took off, making for the trail opening that was closest to him. It just so happened to also lead away from the dojo and go further on down the path, but he couldn't care about that right now. Seeing him bolt out of the area, Kat's crazy smile suddenly bloomed and became a very warm one. Was she mad? Not in the slightest. But she wasn't going to let him off the hook that easy.

”Rrreeaaaddddyyyy oooorrrrrr nnnnooooottttt, here I come.” With that, Kat took off after him.
