Chapter 39 (1/2)
”All 3 of us have Monarch ranked Seeds except Kerin, She has a Legendary Seed”
Marcus grinned at Kerin. She blushed as she avoided eye contact with him.
”Well that's just great!!”
Marcus broke the silence and Kerin managed to flash a smile at him.
”We were supposed to celebrate her birthday today....after the mission”
Melova said slowly but Marcus easily heard her almost silent words.
”It's your Birthday today??..”
Marcus asked Kerin in surprise.
”Yeah...”
She said as she fidgeted with her fingers.
”Happy birthday...and I am really sorry for breaking you nose earlier”
Marcus said as he cowered in embarrassment.
”Thank you”
She replied with a smile on her nervous face.
(Man she's deep into something !! Lol)
”By the way, when is yours...Marcus?”
She managed to spout some words after repeating it inside her mind for about thousand times.
”Ah, Mines on October twenty fou....”
His voice faded as his eyes waltzed around trying to find the calendar.
”What's.....the date today??”
He asked Kerin when he gave up on finding the mystery calendar...which was right behind him.
”October twenty fourth”
She replied.
”Ah, shit”
Marcus slapped his forehead.
”What happened??”
Kerin asked a frown on her forehead.
The rest of the three looked at them silenty from the side.
”Damn...Why do I feel like they would look good together??”
Cloy asked Luka.
”It's just because they do”
Came the quick reply from Luka.
”She's finally found someone”
said Melova with a slight waver in her voice.
”Wait....do you have someone??.. You know? any relationships?”
Cloy asked as he fumbled with his words.
”Umm..I do have someone on mind, but I still haven't told him anything”
was the reply from Melova.
Cloy crumbled at those words and tried NOT TO look depressed as much as possible. So he said...
”Oh...K” .... in the most depressed way he could ever say and looked down to his boots.
Melova flashed a quick smile at him and blushed at his expression.
”It's my birthday today!!”
Marcus said to Kerin.
”October twenty fourth, I turned 18 today”
Marcus said as looked at the ceiling. He was an adult now.
”It's legal now!!!!!”
Kerin shouted and jumped up in joy.
”Eh?”
Marcus stared at her blankly, a sweet drop rolling down his cheek.
”Nothing!!”
Kerin blushed and sat down on her chair. Her thoughts started dancing around her mind. It was all about how, Their birthday was on the same day, How She was just one year older from him, just a year.
”Happy Birthday Marcus”
said Luka first, breaking Kerin's bouncing thoughts.
”Happy Birthday Marcus”
”Happy Birthday Marcus”
Cloy and Melova said in Unison and smiled at each other.
Oh no!!. She should've been the first one to wish him. Kerin thought as she pouted at her crew, who were smiling at her smugly.
”Happy Birthday Marcus”
She said with a smile.
”Ah, Thank you all.”
Marcus said softly as he sat back on his chair.
”So fun aside”
Marcus's expression changed to something serious and it sent a chill down the others spine.
”I wanted to discuss something serious”
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
They drank some more water.
The atmosphere suddenly got serious when Marcus's expression changed.
The tension In the air was so much that it could be easily cut by a kitchen knife.
All four of the Assassins straightened up and it felt like they were struggling to breath.
”Why don't we...”
Marcus started speaking, breaking the tense atmosphere.
”Form a guild??”
