Chapter #18

Leonna's steps stopped. He has not been two meters out of the storage area. The two blue netra then idly turned to look at Reid who only displayed a confused look. Aunty Smith's remarks just seemed to be on the way to Reid's brain cell bank.

“No need, Aunt Smith. I can go home by myself.”

The corners of Leonna's lips bend tasteless. He didn't want to burden Reid. After all, Reid also said, his working hours at the supermarket will only be completed at six or at least half-seven nights.

Leonna then without much more checks walked quickly to the front door of the supermarket. While Reid who seemed to have finished processing and translating information from Aunt Smith just stared at Leonna's departure with a blank twinkle. Aunt Smith who found Reid was just silent reflexes patted pretty tight shoulders wide Reid.

“Why just shut up? Quickly accompany Leonna!”

“But, Aunt Smith—”

“Not what Reid. Self-service is not too crowded. Uncle Smith also said he'd be back soon today. So, get after Leonna! Don't let the girl go home alone. Later if something unpleasant happens to Leonna, how?”

Reid's face turned bad. The screams of Aunt Smith before, he did not think it was just the beginning of a series of scolding to the December-born young man.

It didn't take long for Reid to review the wide-ranging and anxious speech Aunt Smith just now. Of course, Aunt Smith as a mother would be very worried if a girl ehm, beautiful, like Leonna walk alone under the increasingly late and dark every second of the minute.

“Good, then Reid goes home first! And umbrella—Aunt Smith I borrowed an umbrella!”

The dilemma that enveloped Reid finally evaporated as well. He, who had been left more than five minutes behind, hurriedly ran after Leonna's footsteps. His fingers do not forget to snatch an umbrella that is always available next to the entrance of the supermarket.

Aunt Smith smiled perplexingly. Young people's love is too sweet. He became confused about how his youth used to be when he was in high school.

It is true what the saying says. The school days when sitting in the senior before heading to college education are indeed the most beautiful. Yep. Period ‘rollercoaster’ in his love life with Uncle Smith, um!

“Can I help?”

Aunt Smith's daydream came to a standstill after seeing a slightly shorter-bodied figure a little more than Reid had stood in front of the cashier's desk. He hurried to the cashier's place. Both of his old eyes glanced silently at the appearance of a figure whose stature was clearly a man.

“What girl is out of here?”

“Ya?”

The figure with the hood of the jacket, the bangs of the hair decompose quite long and the black mask covering part of his face is pronounced in a flat tone. Aunt Smith's hair somehow suddenly crushes in horror. He is alone now in the supermarket. If something bad happens, then maybe there will not be a single person who knows, thankfully saving him.

“Wait,—” change

Aunt Smith glared at the one hundred dollar bill. Even more surprising because the item purchased by the mysterious aura figure was only three pieces of candy wrapped in red, yellow and green.

Of course, the tip money Aunt Smith received was definitely not playing much. Remembering for a pack of candy that is rarely purchased because the taste is too sour and old-fashioned among candy lovers it is not up to a quarter of a dollar per fruit.

“—anda.”

Aunt Smith then sighed. The buyer in a closed suit had very quickly disappeared from behind the supermarket door.

“Why do I suddenly feel bad, huh? That customer also—what is a celebrity? Mysterious once.”

Reid and Leonna walk side by side. In fact, in the first five minutes of their trip, Leonna just kept stepping behind Reid. The situation was really not very comfortable.

But it seems, it would have been better for both of them, if Reid had not acted so manly and pulled Leonna to stand next to him. They are now very similar to two zombies that are crossing the super slow night streets of New York.

The coldness of the air could not even be felt by either Leonna or Reid. The clouds above them were indeed cloudy clouds, but so contrasted with the condition of Leonna's heart. The condition is now very suitable to be defined as the cherry blossoms that are blooming in spring.

Not much different from Reid. Eid on an organ called the heart is getting noisier every second. He even had time to think of visiting the hospital, if until twenty-four hours in the future symptoms similar to palpitations that he felt it still did not stop.

“No stars.”

Leonna wanted to curse her brains that did not know where the wind was from suddenly told to open the voice. The small and pitched murmur was rather sad when stopping by Reid's eardrum suddenly made his owner throw a small glance at the Russian girl.

He wanted to not comment. However, immediately not so after thinking about the possibility of Leonna's speech was to melt the atmosphere.

“True. Even on a typical day, even if the sky is clear and there is no rain at all, the star remains invisible, unless it uses a telescope.”

“Really?”

Reid's heavy voice greeted Leonna's sweet sense of hearing. Leaves ear and nape Leonna spontaneously felt warm. Reid who was indeed much taller than Leonna accidentally caught the red tinge. He scratched the back of his neck that was not itchy.

In Reid's eyes now, Leonna had no idea why it looked so adorable. That porcelain-skinned girl is like a—hamster? Baby marmots? Or rabbits? Reid doesn't know exactly which one. But, Leonna's movements now really made Reid's heart beat seem to no longer be saved.

“Yes. I've never seen a star directly here.”

Leonna listened enthusiastically. He was a bit confused with the star sprinkles that he could usually see through the window of the room.

Actually, once. He became obsessed when he moved to Rublyovka. He once tried to count those beautiful blips. However, exactly. Leonna had already given up, even before her count had reached twenty.

“Itu—at my place, in Russia. We can see stars with the naked eye. Especially when there is a star rain phenomenon. The sky view looks very beautiful and usually we will make a request until the tail of the shooting star is not visible.”

“Castars fall?”

“Yes. Leo said it was actually a meteor. Oh—and Leo is my brother.”

Reid certainly knows what a shooting star is. He was just, um, happy to hear Leonna's voice. Reid then reflexes patting his head slowly. Thankfully, Leonna who though caught Reid's strange movements just kept quiet.

The girl was actually anxious to ask what happened to Reid. However, it was not so when Reid suddenly breathed a rough breath.

‘What is Reid upset about having to bother delivering me?’
