Genius Girl

Chapter 33: Images

A whimsical sound played in the amus.e.m.e.nt park.

It was past eleven, yet the amus.e.m.e.nt park was still full.

The rides, with people in it screaming, could be heard everywhere. Everyone was having fun just like Daniella who had been shooting arrows at the target.

One of her arms was straight forward as she held the bow. The end of the arrow was so close to her eyes. As she concentrated at her target, a smile curved on her lips. Imagining James' face on the target has made her hands withdraw arrow.

People cheered as she hit the center, Evan who had been standing next to her - handing her the arrows smiled.

"You are really good at this," he said.

Daniella sneered boastfully and, accepted the arrow from Evan's hand.

"Try it," she said handing the bow at him.

Perplexity overtook Evan's face. He had never tried to shoot an arrow, dart probably but, he's not even good at it.

"I have never tried it," he flatly said.

"It's fine. I can teach you," Daniella's eyes were sparkling as she went behind Evan and pushed him.

They were both standing a few meters away from the target. Daniella asked Evan to hold the bow and assisted him in how to properly hold it.

Evan was startled for a moment when Daniella suddenly rolled his sleeves up to his elbow, she did the other side and fastened it.

He could feel her fingers on his arms, lifting it to level his shoulder.

She was standing opposite of him but, their faces were too close, and he could see the dimples on her cheeks as she gives him advises on how to hit the target.

"Now, Mr. Su, lift your arms like this," she said as she holds onto his arms.

Evan rose an eyebrow when Daniella's hand stayed on his arms. Her hand gently gripped his arm, checking for his muscles.

"Hm, someone's working out," Daniella said with a tease and handed him an arrow.

She teaches him how to shoot an arrow but, no matter how hard he tried, he could not hit it.

Daniella blew a sigh. Her eyes narrowed impatiently, wondering if she explained it wrong.

Plucking her lips like a duck, she positioned herself in front of Evan.

Her back leaned against his chest, her head, reaching his shoulders were enough for her to helped him properly hold the bow.

She rested both of her hands on each of Evan's hand. Concentration ignited in her eyes.

"Mr, Su. In the count of three, let's release the arrow. Ok?" she said in a deep voice. Not aware of how uncomfortable Evan was with their position.

"Ok," Evan replied after clearing his throat. Her vanilla scent was too sweet for his nose, all he wanted was to sniffed and sniffed until all of her scents disappeared. But he doesn't want to look like a maniac, so he holds himself and savors her vanilla scent.

"ONE"

"TWO"

"THREE"

As they both uttered the last number, their hands released the arrow.

For a moment, Evan felt his heart has stopped from beating, soon he heard Daniella screaming like a kid.

She jumped, eyes were sparkling like the stars in the sky.

Evan absently dropped the bow. With his free hands, he coped both of her cheeks.

The smile on her face, her irises turning from grey to blue and the dimples of her cheeks, those were the reason why Evan decided to move forward and kissed her lips.

He could feel her body frosts, but it didn't stop him. His tongue moved to part her lips, he just couldn't hold it, every time he sees her eyes, her bright smile, he could not help but kiss her.

He moved his lips and just like before, Daniella responded without hesitation.

Image of a girl looking at a boy standing next to a man popped in his mind.

His eyebrow creased as his lips pressed into hers. Another image popped, this time, it was a boy, a boy with the same facial features as Daniella.

He was losing air, he wanted to continue but Daniella pulled herself from him.

His face was painted with confusion, while Daniella has the same bright expression, she had earlier.

He wanted to ask about the image of the boy and the man that popped into his mind. They seemed familiar yet he cannot pinpoint as to where he had seen them.

His lips itched to ask her what's with the images. He wanted to know if she's seeing it too or was it just him.

Seeing the bright smile on Daniella's face gradually disappearing, Evan faked a smile.

He brushed a hand on her hair and gently pulled her to his chest.

He let her hear his heartbeat, he wanted her to know how tense he is every time they kissed.

Soon, the firework light up in the sky, Daniella pulled herself from Evan's embrace and looked up at the sky.

The colorful fireworks reflected on her eyes, slowly, her lips moved to smile.

She stayed staring at the fireworks, unaware of Evan's eyes deeply staring at her with confusion.

When another firework was shot in the sky, Daniella turned her sight to Evan. Realizing that he has been staring at her the whole time, she let out a sweet giggle.

She let her emotion overtake her mind, for a moment, she decided to forget about her mission, her pain, and her hatred.

As the last firework shot in the sky, Daniella tiptoed to level her face to Evan.

His face that seemed to have been curved to perfection by a famous sculpture, the serious expression on his face and the mystery behind his eyes, Daniella felt an indescribable feeling rising in her chest, letting her emotion to take over her body, she placed both hands on Evan's shoulder and reached for his lips.

She doesn't need to stretch her body, Evan has lowered his face and met her lips.
