Sneak Attack

Spotting the familiar man from a distance, Selina decided to throw away the usual, dull entrance. She walked a whole circle just to sneak up on him from behind. As she approached closer to where he was standing, her hands raised up like two paws.

From the beginning, Jason had noticed her from the reflection of an advertisement board. Since she wanted to sneak up on him, he might as well play along with this lively kitten!

He waited for her to jump on him, so he could make his move. In a split second, she faked a roar but the one who ended up surprised was none other than herself!

The minute she hopped forward, he returned the attack by capturing her arms and pulling her in for a kiss.

His calculation was perfect as his lips pressed right on top of hers. She blinked in a daze when she tried making sense of what just happened. Then, reality struck when her thoughts cleared up.

"Ah! I just got played!" She brushed her lips with her fingertips and reacted to the welcoming kiss. By the time she noticed his scheme, she was already stuck in his embrace like a ball of yarn between a cat's paws.

In the end, she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her ears where she could hear his heartbeat. She asked, "you haven't eaten yet right?"

"Nope. I came straight from a meeting."

"Great. Hehehe. I packed you some sushi!!" She smiled while showing him the victory food she saved from Bryan's chopsticks.

"Hahaha. Thanks. Should we sit somewhere and eat? Do you want a drink somewhere? Oolong milk tea?"

"Mmm.. I've already drunk milk tea and fruit tea for the day. I'm not thirsty, but we can get a drink for you. How about your favorite jelly drink? We can head to the food court afterward."

He took the container of sushi from her and held her hand as they walked through crowds to get to their next destination.

Later, they settled at one of the tables in the food court section of the mall. Selina gulped when she saw the sushi he was consuming. Though she has already had eaten her share, she purposely saved the best ones for him to eat.

She watched as Jason devoured half of the container with a joyful smile on his face. As he dipped the lobster roll into the sauce and brought it to his mouth, she couldn't take it any longer!

"Aahhm" She took half a bite of the sushi that was tempting her outside his mouth. Before his chopsticks were fast enough to push the remainder of the piece into his mouth, his girlfriend has successfully broken his sushi in twos. He has one half of the sushi in his mouth while the other half has been kidnapped by her.

He watched her smile blissfully as she tasted the piece of sushi while cupping her cheeks satisfyingly. His mouth twitched as he finished his half. Dipping the next piece in the sauce, his eyes laid on her expression to see if she wanted the piece of sushi, but she seemed uninterested in it.

As he picked up a piece of salmon roll, he swore he saw sparkles in her eyes. He slowly dipped it in the sauce and watched her eyes follow this piece wherever he brought it. Eventually, a soft chuckle left his mouth. Amused by her behavior, he brought the piece to her lips and she ate it while humming a small tune.

At the end of this meal, he memorized the pieces of sushi she enjoyed the most and listed it on his phone as a record under Selina's personal file. Ever since they've started living together, he wrote down small things he noticed that require more effort to memorize such as a list of foods and specific flavored drinks she loved ordering. This was a small secret she wouldn't find out since he hid the file from the regular files he saved on his phone.

Although she claimed she was not thirsty, he still offered his jelly drink because the soy sauce and wasabi mixture was considered salty. She took a few sips and ended up deciding to grab a few more bottles of Mogu Mogu for home.

Inside the supermarket, he saw the indecisive look in her eyes as she stared at the various flavors available. She already chose the flavor he liked drinking and placed it in the shopping cart. Right now, she was debating over the other packs she saw and wondered how it'll taste.

"If you want to try them all, then get one of each. You don't have to buy a pack at once." He suggested to her since she seemed to be having a hard time choosing which one to buy.

"But the pack of six is more worth it. Also, the single ones only have the lychee flavor left. I want the mango, strawberry, and peach flavor. They don't have single bottles for them. What if I don't like it and it becomes a waste?"

She rubbed her chin, tapped her lips a few times, and hooked her pinky with his. She looked up at him and swung their pinky fingers slightly. "Which one would you like more?"

"You really want me to choose?" He laughed softly and squatted down next to her. With his finger pointing from left to right, his fingertip ended up pointing at her.

"I'm not on sale! I mean, you already have me. I mean...let's just focus on which flavor to get." She stuttered as the surface of her cheeks started to heat up.

"Then, strawberry flavor." He pointed at the pink-colored bottle and stared at her while saying it. Whenever he mentioned strawberry flavored products now, her face would turn deep-fried red from the previous experience of purchasing condoms instead of candy.

The couple continued walking through aisles with linked hands and bought what they thought were needed in the kitchen. After that, they went to the counter and completed their purchase.

Once they walked out of the supermarket, Selina saw a kid blowing bubbles. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly, hinting to him that she really wanted to play too. Naturally, he walked to the woman selling the bubble products and bought a few bubble bottles with many bubble wands shapes. Now, she can entertain herself in her private garden.

"Is there anything else you want to buy?" He asked as they put the stuff in the trunk of his car.

"Ah! I need to go to the art store and get more paint! I heard there would be new colors in stock today!" Her voice sounded livelier than ever when she spoke about the different shades she was eager to purchase this time.

"Alright. Then, let's head over to the art store on our way home." He opened the door to the passenger seat and waited for her to settle completely before closing the door. After that, he helped himself into the car and started driving to their next destination.
