5 Chapter 5: Dating? (2/2)
I shrug,
”I'm not sure, just ask me whatever.”
”Hm, okay. Tell me about your name.”
”I don't have one. I'm called Zero because i'm the highest ranking hunter. The lower the number, the more dangerous you are.”
She looks at me in shock.
”Wait, so you're telling me that one, you have no name but a number, and two, you're a living weapon?!”
”I guess. That's why i've been assigned with this job.”
”Speaking of this job, we need to talk about it a little more.”
”Alright. What about it?”
”There's one little detail I didn't mention last night,”
I raise my brows in confusion.
”When I introduce you, we'll have to pretend to be together.”
”Together? Like we're lovers or something?”
He nods awkwardly.
”I guess that makes scene,”
I think for a bit,
”But you'll have to tell me what to do and how to act. I've never had a boyfriend before, let alone a fake one. So you'll have to guide me.”
”Really? But you're so...”
He strokes his chin and looks at me,
”So damn sexy.”
”What? I-I am?”
”What?! How do you even say that? You're smoking!”
”I don't really leave the house unless i'm on a job. We can't leave the premises. So I don't really have anything to compare to.”
”Oh, that explains a shit ton then.”
The phone in his pocket starts to ring.
”Yo, tu as Ricky ... Attends, maintenant? ... Mais je ne suis pas à la maison ... D'accord, d'accord, je serai là.”
He hangs up and stuffs it back into his pocket.
”I didn't know you spoke french, Ricky.”
”Yeah, uh, we gotta go.”
He grabs my hand and starts running back towards the mansion.
”What the hell's going on?”
”No time! We've gotta hurry!”
'What's going on?! Why are we running, and why is he pulling me so hard? Damnit Ricky, what are you up too?'
