Linger

Sudden Attack

In the backyard, Gavin sits himself in a wooden chair. His gaze was straight ahead while in his ear was already stuck on the cellphone that was connecting him to someone. For a long time he kept the phone there, waiting for the phone to connect. But the wait ended in vain because at the end of the waiting tone, Gavin actually found the voice of the female operator who told him that the number he was going to was not able to be contacted.

Gavin pulled the phone back from the ear, brought it forward and looked at it in confusion. This was the first time Irina could not be contacted. After not picking up her phone last night, Gavin thought she would call him back this morning. Turns out he was wrong. Not a single notification came from the woman when her phone was successfully switched on.

Not losing his mind, Gavin switched to calling Taruna. Because all this time only Taruna can rely on Gavin for things related to Irina. Patiently, though his heart was suddenly agitated, Gavin waited until the call was connected. But after a long wait, his phone was not picked up. Though usually the cadets always fast response, the man never let a single call be missed.

What really happened to Irina and Taruna? Why were the two men unable to be contacted simultaneously?

The thought gnawed at his head, eating the active cells there thus making him lose much of his data-processing ability. Then, before he actually lost all ability in himself, Gavin heard footsteps coming from behind. Then he swiftly stored the phone back into his pants pocket after making sure the phone was turned off properly.

There, in the rear doorway, Kalea was standing with both hands folded in front of her chest. The woman looked at him fixedly, with a reddish tinge still adorning both of her cheeks.

"Have you finished your bathroom business?" ask Gavin while getting up from the chair. He walked towards Kalea, extending a hand intending to tidy up the strands of Kalea's hair that came out from within the bond. But his hand ended up floating in the air when suddenly Kalea moved backwards.

Wh why? Gavin. His forehead wrinkled and he began to look at Kalea questioningly.

"Dragon's distance, two meters." Kalea stretched out her hand, taking out two fingers forming the letter V which instantly made Gavin laugh.

"Why?" tanya Gavin interrupted with laughter. His uneasiness about Irina who had no news slowly evaporated when he found the funny look on Kalea's face.

"You're scary." When he said that, Kalea took two steps back.

"Thrillingly? What am I doing?" asked Gavin playfully. He knows where this conversation is going. Kalea must still be in shock with the attack she launched suddenly last night. Ah..so funny. It was even a kiss, but Kalea's overreaction succeeded in bringing up a nosy idea in Gavin's head.

With a slow motion, Gavin walked forward, advancing until Kalea was forced to retreat to widen the distance between them.

If Gavin was so eager to break through, Kalea was no less eager to retreat. Anyway, in the head of Kalea, he had already made arrangements that the distance between himself and Gavin should not be less than two meters. Kalea is determined not to let Gavin get close to her for a while, for the sake of her heart health.

But, again what was in Kalea's head could not be done because in fact Gavin was much more stubborn than he was. The man continued to step forward, until finally Kalea could no longer retreat because her back hit the wall. Not yet Kalea looking for another stratagem to escape, her body was already caged by Gavin. The two arms of the man were on the right-left side of his body, making him no longer able to move freely.

"Kal?" call Gavin with a heavy voice...Kalea flavor is deliberately made to feel intimidating. Unlike last night when he chose to escape the view, this morning Kalea pretended to challenge the dark bead. Brave to look at him even though it was deep down, his heart was almost exploded.

"I'm scary in which part?"

"Cock quiet? I'm the same as you, you." Gavin casually reached out, tucked the strands of Kalea's hair that dangled behind his ears and then flashed an annoying smile.

Then Gavin lowered his gaze. This time Kalea clearly knew that Gavin was on his lips. Kalea desperately held her breath as she realized Gavin was slowly starting to bring her face closer. And at a time like this, Kalea should immediately find a way to escape, right? But what the woman did was precisely peck in place until Gavin's lips actually stuck with hers.

Kalea gasped as she felt Gavin's lips begin to move over her lips, sipping on her lower lip until it felt like Kalea's life was almost sucked out. Feels weird. Gavin's gentle movements managed to create a strange gelenyar that Kalea first felt throughout her life in the world. The butterfly colony in his stomach that had been sleeping in unison piled to and fro, tickling every nerve point there to make his stomach feel turbulent and his heart racing faster.

Unknowingly, Kalea closed her eyes. Both hands squeezed the front sweatshirt that Gavin was wearing. Trying to channel the strange feeling that filled his chest along with Gavin's movements that increasingly felt intoxicating.

While Kalea was silent, allowing Gavin to do as he pleased, exploring more of the sides on her lips without giving anything in return. Because he still doesn't understand how to kiss. This was the first time someone touched her lips so that Kalea was completely blind and did not know how to respond. For the size of a 25-year-old woman, you could say Kalea is really inexperienced.

Then, as the seconds passed, Gavin stopped moving. He pulled his face away, smiling faintly to see how Kalea was still covered with wet lips and blushing cheeks. With a slow motion, Gavin rubbed Kalea's lips to clear the trail of their encounter.

Coinciding with Gavin pulling back her hand, Kalea opened her eyes. With a heart-pounding beat as well as hot cheeks, Kalea looked at Gavin timidly.

And for God's sake! Kalea wanted to slap Gavin in the face when the man suddenly kissed her lips once more and then laughed in satisfaction afterwards. What's so funny? Tell Kalea what's so funny about stealing a girl's first kiss. Oh, no, Kalea forgot, it's not even the first one anymore.

Reflex, Kalea closed her lips using the palm of her hand. He looked at Gavin in disbelief as the man before him never let out a laugh.

"Don't laugh!" kalea shouted with her mouth still covered with palms.

"You're funny."

Kalea should have known, threatening Gavin would never yield any results because the man would always have a way to defeat him. Just look, when Kalea's eyes had bulged until her eyeballs almost jumped out, Gavin did not look scared at all. The man was even more chuckling, especially when Kalea threw a punch to his shoulder.

Not satisfied with just one launch, Kalea again sent another punch, which over time even made the laughter of Gavin even harder. Perhaps, those blows were nothing to Gavin. Just like being tickled and not hurting at all.

"You're bummer!" shout Kalea. After one more blow landed on Gavin's chest, Kalea escaped. He fled from the starving lion that was still laughing out loud behind his body.

Gavin who saw Kalea's behavior could only shake his head slowly. Then, as Kalea's body disappeared behind the turn, Gavin's laughter slowly subsided. His smile faded, replaced with a feeling of uneasiness that again filled the chest cavity.

Irina...Where did that woman go?
