Kachunk~
I heard the door opening and imdiately heard Camila greeting her daughter in a joyful and warm manner.
But in return her daughter, Bella only gave her lukewarm replies in a rather disinterested and cold tone, as if she'd much rather go straight to her room than talk to her mother, which only made want to punish her even more by playing around with her chest in front of her mother, which should be enough to humiliate her.
I already thought of what I needed to do and only needed one necessary component that I was sure I could find in this very kitchen in a cold, dark, and musty place.
And after quickly looking behind so cupboards and underneath the dining table, I found what I was looking for behind the stove, swiftly caught it, and put it in my pocket for later use. First, I had to greet Bella like I said I would, even though I had no wish to greet the brat and was only doing so, so that I could use her to successfully complete the request.
And to do that, I fixed my dress and combed my hair properly to give a decent first impression, and after hearing Camila give all the necessary small talk, I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, where Camila was attending to her daughter while standing and asking if there was anything she wanted at the mont, and Bella herself sat on the sofa, staring at her mother with a bored expression on her face.
Bella looked very much like her mother and had the sa poised face, blue eyes, and long, dark hair as her mother.
But all those pretty features only made her look like a downgraded version of Camila since she didn't have the sa maturity as her mother nor did she have the energetic spirit in her eyes like she did, which was one of the biggest differences between her and Camila since she herself had brooding eyes like her father.
Not to ntion that even though she was well developed for her age, she was nowhere close to beating her mother, who had a buxom body that not even most won in this world could compete with, aside from trial candidates like my mother.
Bella looked like she was about to take out her phone so that she could ignore her mother, who was enthusiastically talking about what had happened in town all this while she was away, not realising that she didn't seem to care one bit, but when she heard footsteps coming from the kitchen, she raised her eyebrows to see who was the new guest in her house.
She looked kind of annoyed that there was another person in the house since they were disturbing her peace. But when she saw walking towards her with a slight smile on my face instead of so neighbourhood auntie she thought of, she imdiately froze and almost dropped her phone at who she was seeing.
Her eyes went wide and her mouth parted like she had just seen her favourite idol on TV, and slowly a faint blush started to form on her cheeks as she stared at in a surprised daze.
and Camila were also both surprised by her reaction, as she didn't seem like soone who would react so innocently upon eting a stranger.
But when I noticed Camila sizing up and down and shaking her head in dismay, I realised that I had brought my handso looks back from Earth, and it clearly had so effect on this world, looking at how Bella was looking at like she was in a dream.
Camila didn't seem to like the way her daughter was looking at like she was spellbound, but she showed that agression towards instead of the culprit, Bella, since she couldn't look at her own daughter in such a way without making her feelings obvious by glaring at like it was all my fault.
She then gave one last look, like she was telling that she would deal with later for seducing her own daughter at first sight, and then reminded her daughter, who was still in a daze,
"Cough-Cough...Bella, I know that you don't like formalities and that you also so like eting any of your mother's acquaintances, but I still don't think you should stare at soone you're eting for the first ti so much, since it's considered rude."
"If you want to stare at him, then first introduce yourself and do so, as Kafka here doesn't mind if a few pretty ladies look at him and would even prefer it that way...Isn't that right, Kafka?" Camila said as she gave a sly side eye, even though I had nothing to do with the way her daughter was reacting.
The second Bella heard her mother's words, she glared at her in response, as if she were angry that Camila was teasing her in front of . But once she realised that I was still right in front of her and watching the whole thing happen, she imdiately got up and patted her skirt down and then slid her hair that was hanging back behind her ear while sneaking glances at in a shy manner.
She then opened her mouth to introduce herself while looking at like she was wondering where her mother got such a handso man from.
But when she saw with a smile on my face, like I was eagerly waiting for her to introduce herself, she panicked like a timid little girl and struggled to speak, which made her feel even more embarassing at the situation and made her look at her mother like she was saying that it was her fault for not warning that soone like was already in the house and should've given her a heads up first.
"Sorry about this, Kafka...Bella isn't usually like this and is quite the bold girl who doesn't really mind talking to anyone." Camila spoke on her daughter's behalf, seeing that she was struggling so much to even get a word out.
She then gave a cheeky smile and said, "...But I guess even soone like my proud daughter finds it hard to speak up when she has such a charming young man as yourself in front of her."
Bella looked at Camila like she was telling her to stop saying any unnecessary stuff and embarrass her in front of , and that she should simply introduce herself to for her.
"This is Bella, my daughter, that I've told you about who's studying in university, and she's co back ho for the holidays since the rest of her friends went ho to their families, and she didn't want to feel left all alone." Camila nudged her daughter forward, but Bella refused to move forward, like she preferred keeping a distance from so that she wouldn't beco even more nervous in my presence.
"And this Kafka, the son of our next-door neighbour who's just moved in to town recently, and if I rember correctly, he's a second year student in high school." Camila introduced as well and was surprised that I simply nodded my head in response, as she was sure that I would take this opportunity to go forward to woo her daughter like the womaniser I was in her head and didn't know why I didn't do such a thing.
"W-Wait, he's in high school?!" Bella suddenly asked her mother, in shock. And then, without waiting for her mother's reply, she looked at in surprise and asked in a hurry, "You're in high school?!"
"Why, yes, I am...Is there anything wrong with that, seeing as to how you can't believe such a simple fact?" I asked, which made her look at in wonder once again, like she found my voice very pleasant to hear.
"N-No...With how mature you looked, I thought for sure that you were an adult when I first saw you, so I was a little surprised when I heard that it wasn't so." Bella explained, embarrassed at how she was acting when she usually acted in an aloof manner, like she didn't care about anything other than herself and her needs.
And then, as if she had found so courage after finding out that I was actually younger than her, she ca forward and said, while sizing up in a bold manner,
"And to think that you're actually only in high school when you look so handso and manly this...The girls in your class must be quite happy, as I'm pretty sure I would, since I would've killed to have such a good-looking classmate like you back when I was in school."
Camila was surprised at her daughter's forward statent when she was acting so timid before and didn't know what to make of it. But I wasn't really surprised since it was natural that one would beco less wary if they knew the person they were talking to was still in school and younger than them, no matter how charismatic or beautiful they were.
Especially soone like Camila's daughter, who seed like soone who would appear weak in front of the strong but pounce on them the mont she realised that they weren't as tough as she thought, which was exactly what was happening now with the way Bella was looking at like I was prey that had been caught in her trap.
Camila watched in dismay at her daughter, who seed to be making attempts at her man, but she couldn't do anything about it without making it awkward and obvious as to why she was stopping her daughter from trying anything on .
She looked at , hoping that I would reject her advances.
But after rembering that I was a womaniser who didn't miss any opportunity to chat up a girl and say sweet words towards her after seeing how I behaved with her at first, she could only look away as her daughter flirted with to her discomfort as she found bear the sight of flirting back with a smile on my face like she thought I would.
But to her surprise, I didn't make any such attempt to return the advances I received, like calling her daughter pretty or beautiful in return like she thought I would, as I simply said one line with a blank look on my face, like I couldn't even bother to respond to her blantant attempts at .
"Thank you, Bella...I appreciate the complint." I said and didn't bother to say even one more word.
Bella raised her eyebrows in doubt when she heard reply so dryly since she was used to boys being at her beck and call because of how pretty she was, and she was sure that a junior like would be more than elated that soone like her showed interest in .
While Camila herself looked like she wanted to jump in the air in relief and rejoice that I wasn't interested in her daughter like she thought I would be because of my previous statents that made sound like I was greedy for all the won in the world.
But seeing how Camila was reacting to my behavior made wonder if she would actually let her daughter join our 'family' if I was interested in her, as even though it wasn't the ideal situation for her she seed like she would still reluctantly agree to it...
