Chapter 51 - 49- Arc 2
After they had left the ward, Zosia released Kent's hand which she had been holding.
Kent glanced at the now empty hand which she had been holding and turned to her, "What, now that you have finished using me, you have abandoned me."
Zosia stared at him, speechless.
"Tsk, seems like I am right. But don't you think you need to offer something in return?"
Zosia stared at him in disbelief. As for Kent, he was just getting his revenge, he was that petty.
"Cat got your tongue." He remarked.
He actually wasn't planning to do anything, but he felt the urge to see her blush. His eyes glinted sharply as he scanned her face.
'Sigh!' he couldn't see anything. Apart from being speechless and staring at him in disbelief, she did not react.
Sighing audibly, he was about to walk away when Zosia spoke.
"How about this?" He could feel her warm breath on his neck. His Adam apple bulbed.
He could feel her leaning closer, stupefied, he immediately pushed her.
"You!"
"So now we are even." She smirked and walked away.
Lost in the feeling he just felt, despite the proximity between them not being as close as one would imagine, but it was enough to make a teenager's mind run wild.
He stared at her back that got further and further away and immediately chased after her.
"What was that for?" He asked the moment he caught up with her.
"Payment." She answered, her answer concise .
"That's payment, more like an invitation to death."
"Hahaha... How?" She laughed, her dimples in full display.
Kent's face turned red with anger, "You think it's funny? You think it's okay to just...just...ugh!" He stuttered, his words failing him.
Zosia's laughter only grew louder, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh, Kent, you're so cute!" She teased.
Kent's face turned an even deeper shade of red, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Cute? You think I'm cute? You're the one who's being reckless and irresponsible! If you were asked to take responsibility, would you do it?" He hissed, his voice low and menacing.
Zosia's laughter slowly died down, her expression turning serious. "I was just paying you back as you asked earlier, Kent. Don't be so dramatic, besides, you were the one who asked for such payment." She said, her voice firm but cold.
Kent's anger slowly dissipated, replaced by a sense of embarrassment. He looked away, his eyes scanning the surrounding area to avoid eye contact. "Whatever. Just remember, don't try this with someone else, you may end up finding yourself in a place you would not recognize." He muttered, his voice barely audible.
Zosia's expression softened, her eyes filled with a hint of apology. She has gone a little too far. She had allowed herself to allow the emotions lead despite at times it looked like she was the one at the helm of the ship.
"I know, Kent. And I'm sorry if I overstepped any boundaries." She said, her voice sincere.
Kent's gaze snapped back to hers, his eyes
"Hey, kiddo, how was your day?" Uncle Kenny asked, his eyes scanning her face for any signs of trouble.
Zosia shrugged, "It was okay, I guess. Just a lot of drama at the hospital."
"Why were you at the hospital?" He asked, his eyes narrowed.
"My friend got bullied and we happened to see how they had wasted him and took him to the hospital."
Uncle Kenny nodded sympathetically, "I hope you weren't affected ?"
"No I wasn't."
"It must have been stressful for both you and your friends."
Zosia nodded, "Yeah, but I'm fine. Just a little shaken up, that's all."
Uncle Kenny put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "Well, you're safe now. And I'm glad you're home early. We have guests."
Zosia raised an eyebrow, "Guests?"
Uncle Kenny nodded his head, "You will see them once you are inside."
Zosia's mind raced with possibilities, but before she could press Uncle Kenny for more information, they arrived at the house.
As they walked in, Zosia was greeted by the warm smile of Ariana, who enveloped her in a tight hug. "Welcome back sweetie. How are your friends?"
Zosia hugged her back, "They are fine." She answered. "Heard from Uncle Kenny that we have guests?"
"Yeah, my friend from University. We decided to meet and chat and then we became close. So now she came to see me with her son."
"By the way, you two should be in the same class. Surprisingly, her son attends your school." Zosia did not reply to her statement but only stared at her with a raised eyebrow.
Feeling curious, she walked with Ariana to see the so-called guests.
Why would a guest come visit them at a time like this? When Ariana had just divorced.
Entering the living room, she was met with an annoyingly familiar face and a pair of eyes that stared at her in amusement.
"What are you doing here?
