Chapter 38: A Gentleman? A Coward!
Danny Rand lowered his head and walked by the two holding each other. He left silently, dragging his feet sadly without uttering a single word.
Saint on the other hand did not care about his departure. All he could care about or even sense for a moment was the scent that reached his nose and took over his mind. He breathed in, dissecting it layer by layer, trying to comprehend its essence.
Then, only to his pain and disappointment, he felt the gentle hands of the owner of that scent letting go of his waist. Like a beautiful dream in the morning, they slipped back smoothly from underneath his arm. He could not think, but his instinct made his body turn around, and his arms stretch away from his body to grab her hands, only to catch thin air.
Colleen, who was blushing, managed to escape Saint's claws. Her watery eyes silently warned him, and then she bit her lips gently, thinking about what would happen if Saint didn't back down. What would she do? Could she resist him; did she really want to resist?
Fortunately, the usually less kind Saint was, to her amazement, a true gentleman. Looking at her eyes, he just bent his knees slightly to cover up the bulge on his pants and said: ”It's getting late, I'll be leaving now. See you tomorrow, Colleen!”
Colleen let him to the door, and then stood in place for a while. Eventually, she could only laugh: ”It seems that his heart is not that wicked after all.
Saint was walking down the street, when he suddenly slapped his face like crazy man, saying: ”You're really a coward!”
...
After a few moments, Colleen rolled her eyes as she was gathering the shards of shattered glass off of the floor. She dropped her broom, picked up her phone off the table, and sent a message to Saint: ”Hey, you still owe me a glass window!”
Just a few seconds later, she received an answer from Saint: ”Should I bring it to you now?”
”…”
Colleen was speechless for a while, not knowing what she should type. She just knew that if she let Saint return to her place that night, something was bound to happen…
While confused, she heard another ”Ding!” and she clumsily took the phone off the table, quickly trying to read the next message.
”Coward! If you don't have the guts, don't tease the man!”
Colleen typed on the phone as if wanting to shatter it: ”Bastard! Just die!”
Saint just returned her an Emoji of an evil smiling face…
”Damn it!”
Colleen kept shouting in the Dojo, not knowing how to respond, and then slammed the phone on the table, and picked up the broom again while grinding her teeth…
Half an hour later, she had just finished sealing the glassless window with black tape when hearing the phone ring again. For a while, she tried to ignore it; but eventually, she picked it up….
”I am going to sleep; good night.”
Seeing this short message, Colleen for once didn't get angry at all. After smirking for a while, she just returned: ”Goodnight.”
...
The next morning, Saint, who was sleeping later than usual, was awakened by a rhythmic knock on the door. Then, Lorna's voice finally got him up: ”Boss, are you inside?”
”I'm here.”
