Chapter 77 - Driving Him Crazy (2/2)

Rhys looked away and clicked his tongue, 'Damn,' this girl is driving him crazy. Maybe Kazuya is right, and something has changed. If it were in the past, would he even bother thinking about these things? If it were the him of the past, he would have touched her already. He wouldn't have had to consider anything.

His thoughts broke off when he saw the girl's face break into a sweat. Is she having a nightmare? Rhys frowned and reached over to loosen her blouse. Catching a glimpse of her b.r.e.a.s.ts; however, he paused and covered it up slightly, for a sixteen-year-old girl to make him feel this way, oh how times have changed.

If she's awake, he won't do anything right? Rhys made his mind up and stirred the girl's shoulders; it did not take long before her eyes opened, ”Rhys,” Lyn murmured. She looked around, ”Kazuya?”

Rhys shook his head, ”Just rest here, and let that idiot get some rest,” while his main intention was to get her alone with him. Rhys was worried about his friend too. Kazuya has been overworking himself too much, the last few days before the trip especially.

”Rhys, what are you doing?”

”Loosening your clothing,” Rhys murmured, ”You need some air.”

”Rhys, don't touch me, please.”

Rhys smiled, ”I won't do anything,” or maybe he could. It's not like Lyn would be able to fight back, then again, ”It's a pity you aren't naive.”

”Don't be cruel; you're usually so kind.”

He stared at the girl dumbfounded, 'Kind? Kind?' Rhys repeated those words in his head. Him? Lyn must have seen his troubled thoughts, since light laughter past her lips, ”Um, you don't have to be that surprised.”

”Sorry, but, I've never heard that before,” Rhys sat up and got off her, ”It's a first for me.”

Lyn nodded, ”I see, but I genuinely do mean it. Thank you, Rhys, you've done so much for me. I know you're only by my side because Kazuya asked you to protect me when he isn't around. But I like your company.”

Rhys is utterly speechless at this stage, what on earth is this girl blabbing on about?

”Princess Lyn, you should probably get some sleep,” she definitely needs rest immediately since she is talking crazy now. To his surprise, when he turned away, Lyn reached over and grabbed hold of his wrist, ”What?”

”Rhys, don't go anywhere. I'll be lonely.”

What...what is this adorable creature? Damn, he's never had to deal with this situation before. Then again, most girls he associates with aren't exactly the innocent type. Rhys ran his hand through his hair, ”I'll stay.”

The girl's eyes brightened at his words, ”Un, thank you.”
