Chapter 6

Meanwhile ...

"Is my older brother courting you?"

Bloom suddenly blinked and stared at the girl with her. It was staring at her and it looked like a while ago.

"Ahm, no... No. The truth of the matter is, I rented his taxi...I thought he was a real taxi-driver." she hesitated.

"Oh... Kuya told me that he has field-work. But surprisingly, he will be a taxi-driver. But anyway..." Cassey smiled mischievously.

"Anyway?" amuse she asked.

"When my older brother courts with you, is there any hope?"

"H-Ha?!" she reacted in shock.

She closed her mouth and could not answer. Then the girl stared at her foolishly.

"Kuya has been single for two years... That's true because, his ex-girlfriend cheated according to him. Kuya was traumatized to have a girlfriend. Oh my! I never zipped my mouth again. Don't tell Kuya ah? I slipped..." Cassey signed as if zipping his mouth.

She answered with a simple nod. She could not believe it. What kind of woman would do that to someone like Clear?! Cassey also closed her mouth and turned the pictures in the folder again. It took a while to pick because it was fickle.

"Okay, this is really final sister Bloom! I want to be the theme of my birthday, masquerade. I like the Phantom of the Opera. My dress is white, medieval inspired and I have a beautiful white masquerade with pink roses designs. Geez! I want the theme to be medieval!" Cassey finally said.

Bloom smiled. This one has a different taste. She is busy writing down the details it says.

"Okay, what else do you want?" she asked.

"I like, lots of flowers. There in the garden I want to hold my grand ball."

Cassey said many more that she take down. When that was over she stood up.

"Thanks Cassey. I'll make sure everything will be perfect for your birthday."

"Eeeeeh! I should thank you!"

She has sorted the folders. She laughed slightly at Cassey. It doesn't look like a headache like Clear told her. Pretty naughty and artistic, Yes.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I still have to make a plan for your future party."

"You're not going to have dinner here anymore?"

She smiled sparingly at the girl.

"No thank you. Maybe, next time?" she hesitated.

"Okay, next time... I expect that."

She walked away and immediately left the mansion. She looked at the gate. She will walk far but come what may. She wants to escape Clear. She has a bad trip here. Even though he was not far away, the taxi suddenly overtook her and blocked her. The young man quickly got out of the car and backed away slightly. Its eyebrows meet looking at her.

"Where do you think your going?!"

"Go home." her short answer.

"In that case, come on. I'll take you."

"Thanks but no thanks, Mr. Imperial. I'll just wait for a taxi outside."

"Awww! Cut that formality, Bloom. It's like we don't know each other. I know, I lied. But let me explain, please?"

She stared intently at Clear's face. It is serious and looks sincere. She sighed deeply.

"Okay, explain."

"Inside the taxi, let's talk."

She did not answer but immediately got into the car. She is really disgusted. Feeling she had 'Run out of gas' emotionally. Clear also got on board and immediately started the vehicle. They are silent. Bloom was a little worried when she noticed that the route they were taking was different.

"Relax, I have nothing bad to do."

They make their way to the wide beach. Their car stopped at the beach.

"Who are you really, Mr. Imperial?" Bloom asked skeptically.

Clear frowned at her. He obviously did not like her calling it formal.

"I am Clear Imperial-an agent of Men in Action. I’m sorry if I had to lie to you. I need to hide my cover. But since Gida opened the door for me, I could do nothing but explain. I do not want to fool you, work is the only reason so I did not tell the truth. But still, it's me. The one you know Clear. Sorry, I cannot provide any details about my work. That is confidential. Also, it is very dangerous so it is better that you only know up to here..."

Bloom bit her lower-lip as she heard Clear's explanations. He is said to be the agent of Men in Action?! The guys she dreams of getting lucky?! And take note, she still has a lot to say about her day-dreaming about the elite force!

"Are you an M-Men in Action Agent?!" she exclaimed.

"Yes. Please hide my cover, Bloom. Anyway it's me again... The real Clear Imperial."

He held out his right hand and she just stared at it. She was surprised when he pulled her left hand and shook hands. She could do nothing but obey it. It gripped her hand tightly.

"N-Nice to meet you." she quickly withdrew her hand.

She stared blankly at it. Her cheeks warmed as he stared back at her and smiled sparingly. Its smile is mischievous. It simply gripped its chin.

"I still have something to tell you." suddenly its language.

She was dazzled.

"W-What?" she almost stammered.

A smile widened on Clear's lips. It looked at her face earnestly and...

"I'm Crush. I am the agent who gave you a phone number. I was on my way to work when we met in traffic. I just exchanged a new simcard so you wouldn't open it for me, I hope... But since, I've been bitten, here it is. I'm completely immersed in the introduction." He confessed.

Her eyes widened and she rubbed her lips. She was very shocked and could not speak because of what she found out. She still said a lot of madness about 'Crush'. When she recovered from the shock, she looked disgusted at its face. She slapped his arm. She is really annoyed!

"I hate you!" her language faltered.

"Oh, you hate me?"

She glared at him.

"I hate you..." she said again.

She was really bent over.

"You hate me?" Clear was serious about her.

It obviously did not expect what she said and her reaction. It doesn’t mean that he is Crush, she would jump out of joy. She was so embarrassed!

"Yes, I hate you." her short answer.

"Ah, you hate me, huh?" Clear's language was a bit annoying.

No woman has ever said to him 'I hate you'. Even now. And it also hurts to be told, especially when you like the person who told you. He is also bent over.

"Really, I hate you." Bloom was brave again.

After that Clear suddenly turned to her and quickly kissed her on the lips. Her eyes widened in shock. She didn't expect that much. His lips touched her tightly and it looked like he had no intention of letting her go. Its lips are soft, fragrant, warm and attractive... She gradually closed her eyes and gradually kissed him back. Because of that their kiss deepens and they both become more aggressive. She clung to the nape of his neck and Clear hugged her tightly. When they were fed up with each other's lips they then stopped kissing.

Clear stared intently at her face and smiled mischievously.

"Do you still hate me?" he asked.

"Well, you beat me and all that... Naturally, I hate you." she answered boldly.

"You still hate me?"

"Yes-"

Bloom was surprised when Clear suddenly kissed her on the lips again. That kiss was quick but there was emphasis. She stared at his face in shock.

"You hate me but why are you letting me to kiss you?" Clear asked defiantly.

Bloom raised an eyebrow. She will not pretend to be a hypocrite because she is not like that.

"First of all, I was surprised by what you did. I have no choice. But..."

Bloom bit her lip hard.

"What?" Clear's persuasive question.

"You're as good as a kiss." Bloom answered weakly.

Clear's lips were OH and amaze stared at Bloom. This is the woman who told him that he was good to kiss. The simple attraction he feels here has suddenly leveled up in fatal infatuation with desire. And there is a good chance that it will even level up. He bit his lip so hard.

"Can you repeat what you said?"

Bloom could no longer speak. Feeling she was still, she was toying. But if she flirts like this, it is obvious that she will not regret it. But that did not mean that she was just an easy woman.

"You heard what I said. Let's stop it."

She was able to break free from clinging to its neck but the young man stopped her. It caressed her cheek.

"Let me kiss you one more time..." husky language.

Eeer!... The difficulty of not granting such a request?! She is crazy if crazy. Flirty if flirty, as long as it matters, she will not repent.

"O-Okay..." she said softly.

She closed her eyes and in a few seconds, she felt the gentle touch of his warm and soft lips on hers. He gently kisses her as if she is being tortured but at the same time, she is tempted... She is stupid or what but she feels magic?! Their kiss lasted longer this time than before. When their kiss was over they silently separated from each other's lips.

"I'm not sorry about this. Suffer me in whatever case you want, I do not regret. I am ready to pay for the sin I have committed." Clear said to him.

She looked at it and simply held it to her lips. She is not that expert on law but somehow she knows something.

"You didn't force me. There is no case. There is no victim here. I want to go home."

Clear smiled at her.

"All right. I hope that this would make a great beginning for us. Again, I'm sorry for everything except the kiss."

Bloom took a deep breath. So far, she did not know what to say. She just nodded to the young man. He started the car and it took her home...

Bloom sighed steadily as she stared at the ceiling of her room. She will never forget the joke she did. And while they were on their way home earlier, Clear told her that Gida knew his true identity. She wants to tweak her best-friend's majestic body to the chin. But it also made way for him to beat Clear so she would miss it. Especially and the result then was... He was shaken violently but she did touch her own lips. What she said was really true... 'Clear kissed nicely.'

Meanwhile... Clear smiles and touches his lips as he watches while driving. He was shaken. This is not the right time for pleasure. He is at work and he needs to focus. He is no longer angry with Gida. He stopped because of traffic. He frowned as his eyes hit an old terminal. It is no longer used but surprisingly the rusty gate opened then and some vehicles spilled. Two black SUVs and a white van. He pressed a button and took a picture of the incident. He is not sure but it seems to have something to do with the underground syndicate he is investigating and about the illegal transaction of firearms being sold underground. He bit his lip so hard.

"Bloom's kiss seems to bring good luck. I should, I always kiss her. She's probably the lucky-charm I'm looking for..." he grin.
