34. Drama queen

Standing behind her, she could feel his hard chest muscles that gently rested on her back, his arms that were around hers were sturdy and strong.

"Which one?" He whispers the question into her neck, causing her to tilt her head in an effort to hide her neck from him. If only it was possible.

"Th_ That one." She could not move either of her hands, so she gestures with her head and eyes. "Which one?" He asks again, and she felt her knees tremble at that moment, and she fought to stand in position.

"The red car," She says... "What red car, White?" he croons, and lords! This was worse than torture. How could he tease her like this? "The red car with the green flag on the bonnet, the one with the windows down, or the red truck? Which one is it?"

At this point, she wanted to cry and yell, anyone! Just pick anyone and set me free! She wanted to scream these words, but she could feel her voice was no longer functioning, and even if it was, he'd probably tell her to pick one no matter what so...

"The red truck!" She didn't mean to whisper, but it came out that way, and he was kind enough to hear her and not ask her to repeat her words...

"The red truck, it is." He rests his jaw on her shoulder, and his hair tickled the side of her face, and she sniffed in that woody flowery scent of his hair.

Like a drug addict, she closed her eyes, breathing him in, allowing his scent to sink deep into her system. It was that good.

Focusing on picking the truck for her, it almost seemed like he had been given a life-or-death task. "Ready?" he asks, and she nods.

The claw had locked in on the truck, slowly, he picks the truck up. Now, the shock of him holding her from behind was slowly fading away, her focus was returning to the game in front of her.

"Yes, yes, almost there... Almost there," She chanted in loud whispers as he was carefully and systematically controlling the handle, directing the claw.

"You're almost there... Just a bit more, just..."

"hush, White!" He orders, and she nods and instantly zips her mouth shut. "mm-hmm mm," she hummed and squealed between tight lips. "mm... YES!!" She jerks happily as he successfully picks out the car.

Finally shifting his weight from her body, he bends down and picks out the truck, and hands it over to her. "Happy?" he asks, and she nods shyly.

"Thank you," She giggles as he just stood there watching her, and there was a weird silence between the two as he just stood there, and she just played with her new toy car with her fingers while standing next to him.

"What's behind that door?" She points... Anything to break the weird silence. She runs past him and a smile curled up his lips. ``she gets out of situations in the weirdest ways.``

"What do you think?" he asks in turn as he moves toward the door too.

"Another collection of redemption games?" she wondered out loud, and he pushes his lips up, and the corners of his mouth curved downwards as he shrugged.

"It is a collection, yes, but not a collection of redemption games." He says, and his brows suddenly creased, and his eyes seemed to have gone darker too, as he moved closer to her, causing her to shift back, a little scared.

And now that she thought about it, no one knows where she was now, not even Roxy knows she decided to come to his place. And they had entered an elevator to get her, and the elevator went down, which means right now they were underground.

It was the perfect horror movie. A crazy thought came to her head, ``What if my boyfriend is a psychopath.`` At that moment, her insides shook, and she suddenly remembers Gray and his friends. The police were yet to find the culprit, what if...

"It's a collection of video games!" He announces, "What?" Her eyes dilated as he turned the doorknob open.

"Not just that, also, to get to the collection of video games, you'll first have to go through this laser maze."

"WOAH!" Her eyes flew wide open at the site of the red lasers arranged in a rather confusing pattern.

A second ago, she was worried, fear was beginning to swallow her up, but at the sight of this new discovery, she couldn't even remember what she was worrying about in the first place.

She was just too simple.

"You have a laser maze? I give up! You're officially the coolest man alive, I swear it." She makes a saluting gesture with her hand.

And Reuel in all sincerity liked his new title. The coolest man alive. Nice.

"What do you even have a laser maze for?"

"To keep me calm and focused." She wanted to ask if he ever wasn't calm?? Because as much as she knew, he was always calm. In fact, she has never seen a person as calm as he.

"I want to see your collection of video games," she whines while making puppy eyes at him, even though she didn't need to do that. She was cute without effort.

"Be my guest," he points.

She does a little punching in the air as she was overwhelmed with joy at his approval.

She places her new truck on the machine nearest to her, cracks her neck to the right, and the left, and does the same to her waist, before cracking her fingers too.

She steps into the room, but then she instantly runs out again... "What would you give me if I go through the maze successfully?" She was suddenly on her toes in front of him, looking up at him and demanding an answer and a reward.

He couldn't even remember ever arguing, or doing anything that would warrant this request.

" I never..."

"It's not fair, you asked for something and I agreed, and now that I'm asking, you're going to refuse?"

What did he do? Why were her eyes starting to glister with water? Was she going to cry?? But why? What in the world did he do or did not do wrong??

"Okay, anything you want! Anything" He abruptly states, and she sniffs in once, shutting her eyes close at the same time, and by the time her lids flipped open again, it was all gone, the water was gone.

And Reuel just realized he was dating a drama queen.

"So what do you want?"

"Play video games with me!" She instantly replies like she had been waiting for the question her whole life.

"That's it?" He asks, waiting for something else to follow that simple request that didn't even count as a request.

"hm!" She nods. "When I make it across successfully, you have to play the video games with me."

There was something wrong with this girl, there had to be a screw loose in her head. She indirectly just had a blank cheque, to ask him anything she wanted, and that was all she asked for??

Is she normal at all? Who makes such a simple request like that to a man of his caliber? Why was she so simple??

"You're sure?" he asks again, and she nods almost instantly.

And at that moment he wondered if he should remind her that it was already past eleven in the night, he knew she wasn't cautious of the time, so he wondered if he should tell her... ``She'd probably leave the instant I remind her, won't she?``

"Alright, I'll play as many video games as you want." He wasn't ready to send her home. Just some minutes more, just a few minutes more, and he'd remind her then.

For now, "If that is what you want, I'll play the video games with you."

For now, he just wanted one thing... To play some games with his girlfriend.
