Chapter 7 Restart of their first meeting (2/2)

The following day Alex was still pondering over, how to get close to the girl without making her hate him. It was a difficult problem...

”Alexander, Alexander..”

Even now he could hear her voice calling him... 'Wait why would I hear her voice?' Then suddenly Alex felt like someone was about to strike him from behind, but before the opponent could do so Alex threw the opponent.

Alex who wanted to throw the opponent saw who it was and like their first meeting he tried to soften her landing.

Once she safely landed on her buttocks she stood up and same like yesterday got angry at Alex. ”What the hell are you doing?! Do you like throwing people?!”

Alex knew he couldn't make this girl uncomfortable, so he bowed deeply sorry. ”I was wrong please forgive me.” When Rachel saw Alex's actions she got bewildered.

”Ah no need to bow... I wasn't hurt anyway, so how about you lift your head... Ummm, I did surprise you so I guess it was kinda also my fault.”

Alex lifted his head and saw a frantic blushing Rachel, and for a moment thought 'wow she's cute.' It was only for a moment but Alex for the first time in his whole life blushed. Rachel saw that moment, but since Alex immediately stopped blushing Rachel wasn't sure if what she saw was real.

The atmosphere turned rather awkward, noticing this Alex remembered that he wasn't suppose to make the target uncomfortable.

”Um So Rachel why were you calling me?” Rachel hearing Alex's question, remembered that she wanted to ask something.

Rachel hesitated for awhile and asked awkwardly ”So did it go well at the police station?”

”Oh that, there was no problem we were able to solve the problem by talking.” 'Talking to the Police Chief.' Alex didn't want to say the truth since that would violate number 2 in the revisions of the mission.

”Oh good thing, sorry about that I guess I overreacted a bit... But you can't blame me, I know you appreciate my beauty but stalking is no good ok.”

”But I was worried about you getting home safely.” 'Better tell her the truth so that I could protect her better without making her uncomfortable.'

Hearing Alex's statement Rachel was red from ear to ear, so what she was thinking last night turned out to be true.

”Then why didn't you tell me that properly, instead of saying such roundabout things?”

”Well...” Alex didn't know what to say, since the reason he said those things yesterday was so that she wouldn't find out about the mission.

Rachel seeing Alex hesitate to answer thought that he was too embarrassed to say those things yesterday.

”Well whatever, its fine now... Hey Alex I know it's not what you wanted but we can start as friends first.”

Rachel extended her hand waiting for a handshake.

Alex was surprised by Rachel's suggestion... 'Being Friends huh?... Well I guess being friends would solve most of the problems in regards to the mission.' When Rachel saw Alex hesitating she thought he did so, because he wanted to be her boyfriend not her friend. When she was about to retract her hand a warm and powerful hand grasped her's.

”Then for now let's be friends.” 'For the mission'

”Then let's be friends” 'To see if you can be my boyfriend.'
