Marceline asked her Chauffeur to send Aunt Brianna back to the company. Kira thought they would go back together with her but Marceline didn't enter the car so they remained standing in front of the Jungle-Bar Restaurant.
"Boss Lin, are we not going back to the company?" asked Kira, watching Marceline in puzzlent. Then he moved his gaze on the road. The car already left.
"The office environnt is too stressful so I want to take a walk for a while. There is a park nearby. Let's go," Marceline mumbled, walking ahead not waiting for Kira.
"Eh? But I thought your joints were aching. Why do you want to take a walk now?"
Marceline halted on her steps and turned around to face Kira. She arched her eyebrow while pursing her lips.
"Stop asking. Just follow ," She simply said as she didn't want to admit that she was doing this because of him. He looked so troubled and problematic. She thought maybe a walk in a park could help him unwind.
Kira just nodded his head while following Marceline behind. He moved closer to her as they continued walking side by side. The passersby couldn't help but admire the two beautiful people walking on the street.
They didn't look like a lady boss and a bodyguard but a couple. Kira was holding her waist while using his other hand as a shield making sure that no one would bump into her.
Marceline didn't stop Kira from wrapping his other arm around her waist as a way of telling the ladies who were lusting over her gorgeous bodyguard that Kira was off-limits and already taken.
'He is surely attracting more BEEs!' Marceline thought to herself, pouting her lips.
It did not take long when they finally reached the park. There were only a few people roaming around at this hour. This park was usually crowded during the weekend.
Marceline stopped in front of the ice cream vendor. She bought two ice creams for them. Whenever she felt stressed out or her mind was occupied by lots of things, she would always eat so sweets.
After getting their strawberry and vanilla ice creams, Marceline pulled Kira towards the vacant bench under the tree. The two of them sat down, both licking and tasting their ice creams.
Kira didn't usually enjoy eating this kind of food, but since Marceline bought it for him, he tried to eat the ice cream.
'Sigh, I prefer if she will just feed with her blood,' Kira thought to himself while licking the ice cream, but his eyes were fixed on her throat, moving down to her neck.
Sensing that he was looking at her, Marceline shifted to her side, catching Kira with his silly expression.
"What's on your mind?" Marceline suddenly asked him.
And Kira automatically answered her with, "You."
Marceline: "..."
She was at a loss for words. She wanted to know what was troubling him. And his answer caught her by surprise.
"W-Why ?" she probed. Her gaze roved over his charming face.
He was about to respond when sothing caught his attention. Marceline's ice cream lted so fast that it dripped down her fingers.
Subconsciously, Kira grabbed her hand, bringing it closer to his face. Then the next thing he did made Marceline freeze in her spot. Kira licked the ice cream on her fingers, wiping them clean.
Marceline blinked her eyes in utter surprise. She gulped hard while watching Kira who was busy tasting the ice cream on her fingers.
She suddenly felt her face and ears burning hot, a blush creeping over her cheeks.
The two of them instantly beca the center of attraction in that park. Several pairs of eyes were now directed at them, giving them both a teasing and a jealous look.
"Kira…" she softly mumbled. "Stop that."
Marceline hastily retreated her hand as soon as she noticed the people around them.
A glowing smile touched the corners of his lips and Kira stared at her with eyes sparkling with delight. That's it! He finally smiled as if nothing was troubling him at all! This was what Marceline wanted to see from him… his charming smile.
It seed that the ice cream really helped sohow. (^^,)
"Thanks for the ice cream treat, Boss Lin!" Kira said, winking at her. It seed that he was back to his usual self.
Marceline could only sigh helplessly. At least, she felt relieved now that Kira's mood was no longer downcast and dispirited unlike before.
"Are you okay now?" Marceline asked him just to make sure.
Kira glanced at her innocently before he was able to catch on to her words.
"Boss Lin… are you worried about , that's why you asked for a walk and brought here?"
'Damn! He caught !'
"Of course not!" Marceline denied it, looking away. She avoided eting his gaze as she felt so embarrassed.
Kira just let out a husky laugh. He knew how stubborn her Lady Boss was. She would never admit it that easily. But thanks to her, his mood brightened up. He forgot about his worries even just for a while.
"Thank you, my Lady," he softly said from the bottom of his heart.
Marceline shifted her gaze back to his face. Kira was still smiling while looking at her tenderly. He was truly grateful because of her presence.
His mind was full of uncertainties and negative thoughts a while ago. But because of her, he was freed from those unpleasant thoughts as his attention was now diverted to her.
"I'm okay now. Thanks to You." After saying that, Kira grabbed her hand as he pulled her up to stand. "Let's continue our walk. This is my first ti going into a human park."
Kira intertwined their hands, holding her tightly. He would not let go of her while roaming around this place.
Marceline could only smile faintly before nodding her head. The ice cream already lted just like how their hearts were ward by each other's presence.
