Kill Or Be Killed

Chapter 22

Celestina's POV

I have no idea on where should I focus first. On his flushing reaction or in my looks. But of course, it will be my look. I panic when he bows his head a little just to avoid looking at and I know for sure that he sees something...something shameful. And I do not know what to do now. I want to close the door but he might thing that I will be slamming it in his face. But I think he will definitely understand my action. He is not even look comfortable with it anyway. Or I can also run towards the bathroom and change there. But I remember that I do not have any clothes there to change.

I do not want to be more exposed with him so I need to move now. If I will get something to change on I think I need to tell him first that I need to close the door because I do not want to pass him by.

"C-can I close the door? I need to...change--"

"Yea, go," he says without him letting me finish what I was supposed to say. He is obviously wanted me to get dressed too. I think he is not comfortable too. So after he said those words, I immediately close the door but even though I am in a hurry, I made sure that I will not create a sound of a slamming door. I go directly to the closet where I unpacked my things and pull a shirt and a shorts without looking at it. The most important thing right now is to change clothes. What kind of clothes I will be wearing will be least of my concern now. What I want right now is to get dressed because even though how much shame I am feeling right now, I should still remember that he is the Rule and I just cannot make him wait. I should ready myself to see and face him again even though I am still not ready.

I look at the mirror and even though I can already feel a while ago that I am already flushing red, I still panic seeing in the reflection that my face really turned red after that shameful encounter with King Zen. In front of the mirror, I try to collect myself because I do not want to struggle again in front of King Zen. And for one last time, I took a deep breath before walking back to the door so I can open it already.

As I open the door, I make sure that I am smiling from ear to ear, far from the yawning welcome I did to him a while ago. He looks at me with his blank expressions. His face is still quite flushing red but not as red as he was when he first saw me today. I think he also managed to collect himself. I just hope that he will not calling me out for being so careless for what he just witnessed.

But I can quite sense that he became frustrated after what happened and he wants something to tell me and I just do not know what hinders him from telling it.

"Do you want to come in? Do you need something?" I ask him smiling, trying to hard this awkward feeling I am still feeling. But since I was so trying hard to look okay, I know that he can see the awkwardness in my face. I sure as hell he does.

"Yea, I need to come in." I frown a little because I did not expect he will say yes. I mean this is a girl's room. Yea, of course, he has all the right to come in, whether I allow him or not because this is his mansion. It is just that...yea, whatever. And I also think that this is the main reason why he is here. He really wants to enter my room. But even though he expressed his desire to enter this room, I do not have any bad thought about it. I was just feeling awkward because of course, he is a boy and the one using this room is a girl.

"Sure, come in," I said and chuckles awkwardly. I open the door widely so he can walk in. When he is already inside, he closed the door behind him. And that is the time I panic. Not because he might take advantage in me, but because it was just the two of us here. But in his face, it is seems to be normal with him. And I am thinking that he is used to be with other girls in a room. But in my case, I am not used to this. I have never in a room with a boy, ever. Not even with my best friend Drew.

I know I am thinking too much that is why I try to focus on his purpose here. I need to know what he needs in me and he is already here in this early hour.

King Zen sits on the bed with his feet on the floor. He touches the bedsheet and at first, I do not know what he is doing. But as I watch his expression, I got an idea of what he is trying to do. And I think that he is trying to do. He is like feeling the softness of the bed. I think he is just trying to confirm if this is soft and I have no idea why he has to do that. Do not tell that he has a plan to stay here and he will take this room? If that will be the case, then I have to move again and transfer my things.

But I just hope that he will just transfer me to another room, not to another mansion or place. I am actually tired of packing and unpacking my things. I just could not complain because he is King Zen and he might end my life for being a whiner.

"How was your sleep?" he asked without looking at me. He looks around and I think that he is trying to examine the whole room and he is confirming something. But why is he asking how was my sleep? To know if he can be comfortable here?
