"Really? There won't be any problem, right?" Leena could not help jumping for joy in her heart because he would be with her for two whole days. She was happy and wanted to spend more time with him. After all, she would be in Paris two days later. So these two days were quite precious for her. Although she was not sure whether Kevin wanted to stay with her in the two days or not, she was expecting a lot for the coming two days. Happy? She was ecstatic.
"There won't be any. I promise you. You've got me for the weekend. We good?" Kevin took a sip of his soup and then raised his head to take a look at her. His heart could not help beating happily when he saw Leena's bright smile. And that was it. All the aggravation, having to take Duke's abuse, the hard life of a soldier -- her smile made everything worth it.
"No, only kids need company. I am not a kid anymore." She stuck out her tongue to show him she was teasing. What a typical woman! In her heart, she could not be happier about his company. She was desperate for it but pretended not to care a bit.
"Really? Well, now that you don't need me, I can make other plans for tomorrow then." Kevin smiled and lowered his head to continue his meal as if he were fine about everything.
Upon hearing this, Leena opened her eyes wide, staring at him. Come on, she was just kidding. How could he take it seriously? Should he have other arrangements, she would be extremely disappointed! God knew how hard she had wished to have him for two whole days. Her hopes were dashed all of a sudden, just because of a few careless words.
"Well..." Leena compressed her lips a little and did not know what she could do to take back her words. How could this man be so unromantic? Couldn't he know her feelings? She did want him there, and he must know it. Come on, she was a female! As a woman, she should be shy and pretend to reject his offer. And she'd done it. But he wasn't supposed to take her seriously! Why did not he know her heart?
"What? What would you like to say to me?" Looking at her complicated expression, Kevin was almost about to burst into laughter. But he barely kept it together, even though a secret smile spread across his lips.
"Oh! No, nothing." How Leena wished she had bit her tongue! What did she say just now? Stupid stupid girl! She had lots of things to say to him. But why did she say "no" and not tell him how she felt?
"Let's have dinner if you don't have anything to say!" Oh, she was so funny! Kevin seemed to find something interesting about her every time he saw her. Maybe it was not bad to make fun of her sometimes.
Dinner? Her appetite was blunted by the potential snafu this weekend. She was certainly in no mood to have dinner thanks to Kevin. But good for him! He was not influenced at all. He went too far! Leena could do nothing but stare at him in anger. She was cut to the quick. She'd like to see whether he was able to stay calm under her burning glare.
"Why are you staring at me? Or are you so hungry that you see me as a piece of meat right now?" he raised his head and asked her. Yes, Kevin could not keep eating his dinner when she was staring at him like that.
