Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 279 Esong, the pawing master

Of course that kiss was captured and shown on the large screen and of course people cheered like they always did when the two governors kissed.

Others however wore sour looks on their faces and had something to say about the kiss.

Like Adler, who said, "That guy cannot go two minutes without pawing at my sister for the whole world to see."

Their mother heard what he said and turned around to say, "That's his wife, he can paw all he wants."

What Mega Su did not miss however was the scowl of deep unhappiness on the face of Emory Wu had never and by the way things were going, would never like her daughter.

"What a loose, cheap thing." Emory muttered under her breath.

Her husband Emmet gave her a glare that warned her to shut her mouth immediately.

"Brother is so cool." Elon hooted.

At the edge of the football field, Jelly who finally got a chance to sit down and rest was beating the calves of her legs with her fists. After standing for two hours, she was really tired.

"Here." a hand reached down to her, offering her a small automatic massaging device.

She did not have to look up to identify the voice as that of Captain Zorl, the man she had not seen for close to two weeks.

"Thank you." she took the massager and used it on her right leg first.

The man who gave her the massager did not go away however, he stayed and sat down next to her. Then, he took off his helmet and looked at her.?"You are avoiding me." he said.

"Do you have evidence of that fact." she asked.

"You won't look at me." he said. "Do you find me too attractive or repelling?"

She had only glanced at him briefly before looking down at the ground again.

"I will choose neither." she answered. "Besides, why would I need to avoid you when you moved out of the building. It's not as if I was given a heads up about your sudden move."

Zorl laughed lightly, the woman did not even realize that she was sulking as she made that complaint known to him. He added a chuckle to the laugher and he said, "So you noticed. This means you do not find me repelling after all. That and the fact that you are blushing right now even though I have barely said or done anything to you."

"I am not blushing." she denied. But the proof was on her face, which was slightly red. It was very plain to see on her fair skin.

He handed her a hand written note and she put it in her bag without looking at it.

"It's my new address, come by and visit whenever you want." he said.

She raised her eyes and asked, "Why would I visit a man's house. That is a recipe for gossip and slander, you know what our planet is like, people like to talk. My job is to report the news and not be the news."

He tapped her on the shoulder which forced her to look at him. "In that case, we should go on that date finally. I have a day off tomorrow and front row tickets to Miss Du Fyne's concert."

She smiled and he caught that small smile on her face, but it vanished just as quickly as it came and he sighed. Taking this reporter on a date was harder than an investigation.

"What time is it?" she asked, which surprised him.

"Eight p.m., but there is a new restaurant that was opened next to the bank. I can make a reservation for dinner for two and we can get something to eat before the concert."

"Will you be picking me up?" she asked.

"Um, sure, if that's what you want." he responded. "Make sure that you tell your boss you are going on a date with me."

Now she was confused, and she looked at him with eyes and a look that portrayed her confusion.?"Why would my boss need that information?"

"No reason," he shrugged, "But, I don't want him to suddenly call you in for work."

While that was the answer he gave with his mouth, in the back of his head, he had an entirely different thought. 'Because he should know that you have a serious suitor.'

"You should head home, it looks like all the important people have left." he stood up and held his hand out to her, helping her stand up as well. "I will walk you to your car."

She did not reject him, which made him smile. As they walked slowly side by side, for the first time in a long time, Zorl felt the urge to hold the hand of a woman.

His eyes kept moving to her small hands and fingers which were nervously dancing.

"Hey, how come you didn't name the governors kiss tonight?" he asked something to cover up the silence.

"Is this question coming from the same man who mocked me over this issue the last time? You threatened to kiss me, I should have reported you to your high ups." She laughed.

He laughed as well at the memory and looked to the side, ignoring the curious glances of other citizens who were walking or locating their cars.?"I don't recall that." he lied.

"Eh," her mouth dropped open and she looked at him. "You dirty liar."

"Is there evidence of such an event occurring, hmm, I don't think so." He raised his hands, and shrugged as well.

Jelly laughed softly, as she was seeing a whole new side of the man. He was relaxed, easy going and even making jokes. Where had captain Grinch disappeared off to? "So that's how it is."

Again, he shrugged, folding his bottom lip downward as well.

They had arrived at her small blue car, and so they stopped walking.

"Well, this is me." she said.

"I know." he answered.

For some reason, she laughed and so did he. It could not be denied that there was a spark between them and as they looked at each other n this night, it increased the slightest bit.

"I guess I will see you tomorrow." she said.

"Tomorrow." he repeated her last word with a nod.

"Um, goodnight then." she said.

"Goodnight." he said to her as well.

But she did not enter her car, despite having opened the door and she stayed where she was, standing in front of him and swaying her body nervously from side to side.

He looked up, at a short distance away and said, "You know, that hologram of mistletoe is still making rounds." If she stayed any longer, he might actually end up kissing her.

She looked up at the sky and squealed when she noticed that it was heading their way. Jelly chose to take the coward's way out and she got into her car quickly.?She drove off without even saying goodbye.

Zorl waved at the departing car with a chuckle and he wondered if she would get a speeding ticket because of how fast she was going.

The hologram of mistletoe was hanging above his head idly, turning from side to side as if it was confused as to where the woman had gone.

Zorl looked at the hologram and he said, "Keep it moving, this captain won't be kissing anyone tonight."
