Chapter 65 - Like Fire And Ice (2/2)
”Eeeew! What did you—ugh, what the fu*k. For your information, I'm only protecting my best friend. I'm not… ugh. Kai is not the one I like.” He shook his head and pressed on his temples.
Still not fully understanding him, I asked again, ”Then… is it Verrill?”
”Woman, I'm a dude,” he replied sharply. ”I like girls. How stupid can you be?”
”Hey! That's rude, mister!”
'Wraaaa! Seriously, this guy! We repel each other with perfect repulsion! If you weren't Kaiden's friend, I would have punched you in the face! Argh!'
”Fine. I'll explain it to you in simpler terms so your puny brain can understand,” Callan said as he crossed his arms. ”First, the one I like is Crystal, not Kai. You got that?”
”Hmf! Yes.” I crossed my arms, imitating him, hoping it would annoy him.
”Second, Kai has been my best friend since childhood and I enjoy the privilege of protecting him from hyenas like you.”
”Huh?! Me? I'm not—”
”I'm not yet done,” he interrupted me.
How dare this guy! He's a handsome devil!
”I've seen many girls like you, doing their best to flirt with him. I don't blame you all. He really is one heck of a guy, and extremely rich at that. That's why I flirt with the girls that try to approach him instead, to protect him. But you,” he looked at me from head to toe again, ”you don't qualify for girls I want to flirt with so I'm being mean instead. If you understand that, get out of their house and look for your own. Bring that friend of yours, too.”
”Now, don't you dare bring Hora in this. Whatever this is, it's a fight between you and me, you got that? If you don't want your best friend touched, I don't want mine either.”
”Huh! Alright. Just get away from Kai.”
'Hmf! So he sees me as some flirty and probably, gold-digger kind of girl to his best friend. How could he! I admit that I like Kaiden, but its purely out of his kindness and so many things—not his wealth. I can earn money on my own just fine!'
”No! Kaiden is my friend, too.”
”No. I don't approve of you.”
”Then I don't approve of you for Crystal, too!”
”Heh. I'm more important to Crystal than you are. Being Kaiden's childhood friend means I'm also her childhood friend.”
”Yes, you are. And as a childhood friend will you remain forever!”
His eyes widened in anger.
”Tsk! What did you just say, you little missy?” he asked in a threatening tone.
But I was never one to back down when it came to fighting with men. With women, I may, but not with men. And definitely not with someone like him!
And so, we glared angrily at each other's eyes like two lions preparing for battle. Until, someone's voice washed all our hatred away.
”What's going on?”
It was Kaiden.
