Chapter 6: Busted

Chapter 6

Airin was sitting on a bench by the side of the open court watching Les's practice game. Cloud doubles it and their opponents are Guji and Reus. And based on what he sees, Guji and Reus' pairing is pointless. After all, the two are just arguing.

Men!

"Damn it! Do you have nothing else to do but fight, ha, Guji, Reus?"

Airin looked at that angry screaming Coach Enzo. He seemed to want to pray for the souls of Guji and Reus when he saw Enzo's serious face. It was as if at any moment it would set fire to the two men.

No wonder Enzo was the coach-slash-captain of SVU's tennis club. He was that scary. Can a woman survive here?

"I already told you, Coach. I don't want to be paired with that monkey!"

"Where do you want to partner with Doubles, Guji. Illusion! Nognog!"

"I said shut up!"

Airin was even more frightened by Enzo's thundering voice. Really, this man was so scary.

"Don't mind them. Guji and Reus are just like that. But when they get serious about tennis, they forget they are enemies," said a voice from Airin's side.

Airin immediately turned to Les who he did not realize was standing next to him. He stood up and did the thing he thought his girlfriend should be doing (and something he had been fantasizing about for a long time) —wiping the sweat off his face and neck.

Ohlala. I wish Airin was just sweating.

"You're so sweaty, Les!" said Airin and wiped his face with his bimpo.

"I'm fine. It's just sweat," he said.

"Even though. If you dry up, you might get sick. How can you play tennis, aber?"

"My resistance is strong, Airin. I will not be affected by any pain," Les said then restrained his hand from moving. It led him to sit on the bench.

Airin reached for bottled water for Les as he sat down. "You might get dehydrated. It's hard," he said.

Shaking but smiling Les took the water from him. It swallowed it, obviously very thirsty. Airin was almost thirsty as he stared at the man and his Adam's apple. Sweat was glistening on his neck as he slightly leaned backwards while drinking his water.

It seems to be getting hotter.

"You're so sweaty too. You should be there in the shade waiting for me than here, there is no basement," Les said shaking. He suddenly pulled the bimpo he was holding (which he also owns) from Airin and without saying a word put it behind him. "'There, so that you don't dry out with sweat. It's forbidden to get sick now, hm?"

Airin suppressed the tremor before Les nodded. He felt electricity flow all over his back when Les's hand accidentally touched his back. Do you agree with the so-called "spark?" It's not just that there really is a spark in the pole!

"Your sweet, Les," Airin said with a smile. He mixed the voice with a little sweetness. This is because of what he reads, the one that makes the crush a little cute. Maybe Les will think that he is just acting but for Airin, this is true. "Let me put a towel on your back as well. To be fair," he said.

Les stared at him and to his surprise a frugal smile flashed on his lips. There was something written in his eyes. Was it disbelief? Awe? What?

"Why do you look like that?" Airin asked uncontrollably.

Les shook his head. "Nothing. I'm just changing, I guess."

"What's new?"

"Here. My previous girlfriends never did these things to me; those who will give me water after practice, those who will give me a towel because I am sweating. Maybe they thought these actions were for teenagers only. I think the same. . But with you ... I don't know. It felt good. Being taken cared of, that is, "Les explained at length, bringing a smile to Airin's lips.

He also appreciates the simple things he does for it. She was touched, big time.

"For me, it's just for me, ah? Those are not just for teenagers. For me, it's an act of showing your concern and your love towards your partner. For me, it's not like pork. teenage yong isang act, eh, hindi na dapat gawin ng iba. If I really love the guy, I will do anything for him even if it means doing those cheesy things teenagers are doing nowadays. Corny na kung corny, who cares? It's my life anyway. I'll do it without hesitation. It's not bad to be showy towards your partner, "Airin said to Les. Her voice was full of conviction while looking straight into his blue eyes.

"Wow. I'm impressed. I'll admit I'm one of those people who doesn't want that kind of affection especially when in front of other people. But after I hear what you said, it feels good to feel like someone caring and loving me like that."

I volunteer! Let me! Just me, please!

"Ehem, esyusmi, ehem."

Airin was shocked to hear that voice. They stopped talking to Les. Once again they turned to the source of the voice. Enzo and Reus were standing behind them. Reus spoke now shaking while Enzo's face was serious.

"You two, follow me. Now."

Nako. Is it straight to the Principal's office ?!

Airin felt like a child called by Airin while looking at Enzo's blank face. He slightly kissed Les but he just shook his head and then shrugged — a sign that this was not the reason why they were "Principal's office" a.k.a. the club's locker room.

Enzo looked around at the two of them and Les. It is still silent. It's tense, ha. Airin wonders what they did wrong with Les. Wait, did Enzo notice that he was no longer acting? Is she already evicted as Les's pretend girlfriend? Can not! He hasn't even reached stage one, tsugi right away? Justice!

"Answer me. What are you, lovers or siblings?" Enzo said suddenly. His voice almost rumbled inside the locker room. Airin is still short.

Aba! Will it just talk so quietly in the room? Who wouldn't be surprised, huh?

"Of course you're in love, Coach. Why did siblings come to your mind? It's weird," Les shook his head as he asked. He gently touched her elbow and then squeezed it. It was as if he was letting it know that it was just next to him in case he was afraid of Enzo.

"Reus and I have been behind you before and believe me, Les, anyone who hears and sees you, will think that you are not real," said Enzo then squeezed his senses.

"Your acting is not compatible, Les. Airin is sweet to you but his sweetness seems to be scripted in you."

What ?! Scripted her sweetness ?! Maybe because he wanted to make Les feel his true feelings, Reus' reading of his actions was different. Yeah, that's probably right.

"And you, Les, look at Airin as a brother and you act. I'm dizzy with the two of you. 'You don't even have endearment to each other so that somehow, your acting is credible. You two are both terrible when it comes to acting. Fortunately, you are not real actors because you will definitely suffer. "

Brother ?! Aray, ha. How many kills is that?

Airin suppressed a frown at Reus' words. Is that really how Les and I look at them from other people's point of view? Airin didn't see that. From his point of view, it seems that Les's act with him is not a brother. He did not know that this was the outcome of his acting with Les.

In short, based on what Reus had said, they failed, first stage pa lang.

"My suggestion, maybe you two bond first. Maybe it's because you're both still struggling. Then you don't know each other very well so that your behavior will be smooth. You have a headache," Enzo said shaking his head. . "I will not allow you not to do what I command. If you really want to spite Charlie, Alessandro, then take this plan seriously. It's embarrassing for Airin," Enzo said seriously and immediately left the locker room.

"Hey. Coach preceded me in what I was going to say. But I agree. Just remember that you are lovers, not siblings. If possible, hold hands, that is. Kiss on the cheeks, it's okay. On the lips, alas, take care "You two are there. All right, there you are. 'Bye," Reus said and seemed to disappear suddenly.

Airin turned to Les when they were the only people in the locker room. The man was bent over so he could not see the expression on his face.

"Les—"

It looked up until their eyes met.

"Do you want to continue doing this, Airin? I know I somehow forced you into this but if you want out, I will accept it. I'm sorry if I disturb you—"

"'Sus. You're still dramatizing, Les. I'm fine with this, okay? I enjoy helping you," Airin said but what he had in mind was different.

He also enjoys talking and being with Les. So hello? Is he still retreating? Fight!

"Thank you, Airin."

"So ..."

"Yes?"

Airin blames Les. He swallowed and took all the courage he had. She leaned towards him until her lips were almost touching his ear.

"What should we call it? Sweetheart?"

Possible. Les, sweetheart ... 'Not so bad.
