My Future Wife Is Androphobic

Chapter 48 - Because of you

Just a few minutes went by and Zeri woke up. She slowly threw her head back and yawned, before raising both her hands and stretched. She was waking up like a cat.

The moment Kira saw that she's awake, he simply rose. He sat beside her, his left elbow on his knee and his face rested on his palm, covering the lower part of his face. He was quiet, looking away from her.

"Oh, you're awake. Are you alright now?" Zeri asked, tilting her head to look at his face.

"I'm fine," was all he said, still not looking at her. His voice was a little weak.

"That's great. Are we going to the place that you –"

Without letting her finish her sentence, Kira suddenly held her wrist and dragged her with him. "We're going there now." He said and Zeri blinked. She could feel that there seemed to be something that change in him or maybe something was bothering him? Was he still half asleep? Was he still tired?

The two went back to the hotel again. They went and changed their clothes before they finally left the park.

Kira brought her to a fancy restaurant. He had actually reserved a restaurant at the tallest skyscr.a.p.er in this city just for their romantic dinner. The restaurant was huge, luxurious, and damn romantic. He prepared a lot for this, thinking that he could impress her with all these luxuries. Kira was confident about this last night until this morning.

But at this moment, he didn't even feel excited about bringing her there anymore. Kira had finally realized that Zeri was nothing like any of the girls he dated before. As he brought her there, he knew that this won't make her as happy as she did in adventure land.

And he was right, the almost excessive extravagance really didn't impress her. The atmosphere wasn't romantic, it was serious.

"This is a huge, beautiful place… but why are we the only one in here?" she asked innocently as she looked around. Kira also followed her line of sight and somehow, he also felt that the silence of the place wasn't that pleasant. He half-smiled when he realized that he actually thought that the place wasn't pleasant. How could he have thought that a place like this wasn't pleasant? This was the ideal romantic place that every couple was dreaming and that was why he chose this place. He also found it undoubtedly romantic and mood-setting himself just hours ago and yet, here he was agreeing with her that this place wasn't pleasant. Did she influence his thoughts as well?

Shaking his head to clear his head, Kira looked at her and gave her a straight answer.

"Because I reserved it for us alone," he answered and Zeri's eyes widen. She was shocked. He actually reserved a huge and luxurious place like this? Just how much money was he willing to throw away?

"Why?!"

"So that we can…" he looked at her as she waited in curiosity. "So that we can eat in peace."

". . ."

Zeri blinked in confusion while Kira cursed himself inwardly. Damn!

This restaurant was the infamous romantic spot in this city. Many confessions and proposals had happened here because apart from its breathtaking view, it was undoubtedly a perfect place for a couple to spend a romantic and intimate moment. Kira was sure that girls would love such a setting. But not this girl. Not this squirrel.

He originally planned to take her here to set up a romantic atmosphere and then kiss her hard and make her completely fall on him. But his plan, this date had been turned upside down single-handedly by her. And after spending the day with her, Kira lost his confidence in this method, he knew this won't work on her. She was different and he didn't know how to deal with her. But the biggest factor why he was backing away with tonight's plan was actually because of himself. Before he knew it, he suddenly didn't want to do anything more than this. The things he had planned to do with her tonight, in this place, suddenly doesn't feel right. Suddenly, he didn't want to do any of those plans anymore.

"Okay, let's eat. Eat as much as you want." Was all he said and the girl's attention was immediately shifted on the food. Her eyes twinkled as she stared at the food, he could practically see the drool falling from the corner of her lips.

Her reaction made Kira smiled.

And then, they both started eating. Zeri was expected, munching the food like the uns.e.xy squirrel that she was. The way she ate made Kira who wasn't really fond of food feel like eating more than usual, and he did. Their dinner was nothing like a date. They almost looked like a starved couple, not paying attention to anything but the food in front of them.

However, when Kira lifted his face, invisible sweat drops fell from his forehead. He could see that this girl really loved eating more than anything else. And before he knew it, he was putting food on her plate.

He didn't stop until he realized that she was not stopping at all.

"Hey, take it easy," he uttered, resting his face on his palm as he watched her eat relentlessly.

"But you keep on putting food in my plate, how could I stop?"

". . ." this glutton…

"Why are you not eating?"

"I'm full."

"Huh?! How could a man like you eat so little? You can't survive if you're like that, okay?"

"Not everyone has a monster stomach like yours. It's such a mystery to me that you're actually still that slender despite eating so much. You should be a cute little fatty by now."

"But… you truly eat way too little. I think that's why your energy is always low. You should eat more so you won't get easily exhausted or even pass out –"

"I'm eating enough food daily, Zeri. My energy is relatively low today because of you not because of the food, understand?"
