Chapter 442 - Ten centimeters Part 1 (2/2)
”So speak up now. If you and Kazuya have some sort of plan, then....” his sentence fell short when Lyn walked back over to him. She caresses his cheeks, ”Lyn...”
”Is it that surprising? Did you not want to be with me?”
”You know I do,” Rhys muttered. ”But this is too strange. Explain everything to me.” He can't make sense of this situation at all. Did they actually break up? He found it hard to believe.
”There is nothing to explain. I simply want to learn more about you. Will you tell me now?”
”There isn't much to learn..”
Still, Rhys looked over at Lyn, who was watching him very carefully. Does she want to get closer or something? Rhys hesitated but extended his hand out. ”Sit down here.”
Lyn nodded and sat down on his lap. This time she sat facing him. Rhys sighed in content when he felt her brush her hands across his cheeks. Were they flirting? It would be nice if that were the case.
”Rhys, I'm not with Kazuya now.”
”Yeah.”
”So, we can be closer than before. However, I am still Allen's fiancé.”
Rhys immediately understood what she meant. 'So, it seems there is still a problem here?' Then again, Lyn avoided intimate moments with Kazuya because of her fiancee, didn't she? He sighed, and Lyn mumbled.
”Sorry, is it not enough?” Lyn sounded somewhat regretful.
He mentally scolded himself. What is he doing right now? Lyn is already right in his hands. True, she still has her fiancée. But it's not like she likes him that way. Rhys wondered when he became this way. Since when did he start doing everything for this girl?
Rhys shook his head, ”You're doing nothing wrong.”
”Did people stare at you on your way here? Forgive me. I don't intend to put you in such an awkward position. But I knew I could no longer keep up this reckless behavior of mine.”
”Does that stuff matter? We can be together now.” Rhys mumbled. Who cares about other people? Right now, he can be with Lyn, with nobody interfering.
”Indeed,” she mumbled. She reached over and played with his now long hair. ”Is this what happens when you're drunk?”
”When the power I've suppressed has vanished, yeah.”
”It looks strange.”
”Hate it?”
Lyn shook her head, ”No, it's nice.”
”Hey, isn't it fine to kiss you?”
”Kiss? To be honest, I'm not good at it.”
”These things can be taught.”
Or more like, he will teach her anyway. It will do her no good remaining oblivious to such matters. Lyn is very beautiful. For her age, she looks mature. He thought this when they first met one another too. Back then, Rhys flirted with her and proposed something ridiculous because he thought she was the same age. Or at least older than him. He didn't think she would be that young.
