Chapter 16 - First heartbeat (2/2)

"None, my hands slipped" this arrogant man is really getting on her nerves, not even a sorry? Really?!

She is about to reprimand Adam when the man extended his arms towards her. She hesitantly took it and the words she was about to tell were chewed slowly none other than by herself, 'Actions will always be better than words' her conscience nagged her.

She knows she will be the one to look bad if she will question him more so she decided to shift the topic after she muttered a small 'thanks' although she wouldn't end up on that spot if it wasn't for him.

"Where is Ted? Why is there no electricity? Why did you leave the door opened? Why did you scare me? Why are you not asleep?" Celestia bombarded Adam with questions as she removes the dust from her clothes.

Adam can't help but sigh, is this woman always this talkative? Well, as far as his memory serves him, she's already like this since the beginning.

Her character doesn't match her appearance at all! Looks can be deceiving indeed.

Adam leaned on the wall behind him as he watches Celestia compose herself, he should have been annoyed by now because of her personality but instead, he finds it adorable. 'A kitten that acts like a tigress' his lips formed a small curve yet his eyes are still hollow, void of emotions.

After twisting her long hair and putting it on her right shoulder, Celestia noticed that Adam is staring at her for a while now, she's expecting an answer duh!

As if getting the signal from Celestia, Adam replied shortly as if his words weigh the same as golds, "Capital, I don't know, no reason" he said curtly, the no reason reply is for the last three questions.

Celestia can't help but be sarcastically amazed to the man in front of her, how can he act lackadaisically to everything that happens around him?

She mentally face-slapped herself and once again decided to just give him a nod of understanding, "Uhm, okay, help me get my belongings in the living room" she is thinking to have a nice bath that later night but guess what? Her plans are ruined because of the electricity shortage.

Adam followed her and helped her carry the goods and luggage, all Celestia needs is to light the path for Adam carried everything with ease. He looks like an emperor but seeing him carry her pink floral luggage made her heart soften, at least he didn't complain and just so everybody knows, HE STILL LOOKS FREAKIN' HOT.
