The Agent's Priority

C32

I scratch my head sheepishly as Maureen kept on rambling angrily at me for not telling her about my sickness

"-if its not for Timothy asking me out very romantically and dreamily might I add I wouldn't know a thing about you skipping classes because of your illness I also remembered how I told you not to take a shower because your temperature is slightly not normal but ofcourse-"

"Wait what he finally asked you out?" I furrowed my eyebrows genuinely curious before giving her a teasing smile when she blushed like a tomato

"I can't believe I said that..." she whispered to herself her hands coming up to cup her burning cheeks as she blew a flustered breath cutely "I didn't really expected him to ask someone like me out"

Giving her an incredelous look I shook my head before snorting "believe me if it weren't for the fact that I'm straight as that flag pole I would've had asked you out the moment I saw you, even without having balls"

I mean she's adorable and cute even with those fancy glasses of hers... she's gorgeous

She gaped at me before shoving my shoulder as she gasp "that's... I can't even imagine you-"

"I'm straight Maureen" I chuckled at her face filled with shock "god, so when will this date happen?"

"This saturday..." she trailed off smiling giddily her slightly pale ocean blue eyes lit up like a child recieving gifts on christmas "Zaia.."

Glancing at her sideways I raised an eyebrow at her questioningly when I saw her expression drop into nervousness

"I'm.. scared" she whispered "do you think he mean well?"

"That guy likes you Maureen.." I hummed frowning slightly in concentration "I know he meant well.. but still I swear to you that if he ever hurt you in any way I'll have both of his head" I stated in all seriousness

But I trust Timothy won't... I really hope he won't

"What do you mean both his- ah no, don't answer that" her eyes widen in realization before shivering mortified by what I threatened on what I'll do "but thank you... Zaia" she smiled at me covering up her cringing features

Snorting softly I gave her a small amused grin before nodding as I plop down loudly on her bed

She glared at me half heartedly when her writings messed up due to my actions which I smiled at her sheepishly in return

"Zaia.."

I hummed closing my eyes attempting to have a short nap as I waited for my next class I have with Timothy before lunch break

"I want you to accompany us on our date"

My eyes snapped open in an instant before sitting upright giving her a dumbfounded look

"What? No"

"Pretty please..."

"No Maureen its your first real date why the hell would you want me to third wheel?"

"I'm afraid of messing it up.." she gave me a sheepish look rubbing the tip if her light blue pen on her head "you'll just watch us from afar..." I purse my lips in distaste "you won't even be seen! And-and you can do whatever you want just follow us by 17-20 feet or so?"

I exhaled loudly and exasperatedly as I cover my face with my hands

"No Maureen."

"Pleease Zee!"

"Maureen-"

"Okay what if Timothy humiliate me in public? Or some of his exes ruin our date? Then I find out that it was all just a bet, a dare, a prank?"
