Draining Mr. Brainy -(DA series book 1)

Chapter 18

Tiny Point of View

"How else would I know that you actually love me?" This is so amusing.

I can't with these two, seriously. They are so adorable.

"You mean, I forgot the whole incident of professing my love for you?" Aella asked again for eighth time in the past two days.

She still looked so damn confused and suspicious but given how innocent she is, I can see her guard slowly crumbling down.

"Does she really experience short term memory loss when she is utterly startled?" I heard Human sculpture whisper in my ear while his eyes are still on the couple before us.

"Hmm. Whenever she is startled or gets heavily scared suddenly, from the moment she got scared, she would forget everything that happened in the past few hours prior that startled moment. Sometimes she forgets two to three hours at the most but there were a few times she forgot the events of nearly ten to fifteen hours. That only happened twice or thrice though."

Human sculpture nodded to my explanation as he turned back his focus to the couple who are using his office as their dating site.

I was actually here to celebrate the last few hours of his birthday but seeing how he is still working in office with no care the special day of his life, I realized he needs a touch of warmth on this day to make his happy.

What I did not expect was Non king trying to trick Aella in a relationship with him. I know he is tricking because I have faith on my dear cousin's choice and Non King is not the one. Yet, he gained my family's blessings to date her so I will not interfere.

They are both adults and can take care of their own stuff.

I have my hands full on Human sculpture and my revenge on Allards.

"Did you tell anyone about your feelings for me?" Non King asked smugly to which Aella shook her head shyly.

"Do you think anyone knows about your feelings for me despite you not revealing them?" She shook her head again.

"There, you have your answer. If no one could tell me about your feelings for me then how would I know?"

"How?" Her voice was barely a whisper filled with questions.

"Obviously you told me. You confessed you like me the other day before you chose to get startled by something and forgot the whole event. Think Aella love, just think, if you did not profess your feelings for me, however can I know them?"

My dear cousin, innocent cousin, seems to be falling for his words deeply. It's so funny that an idea of how she might have never professed her love or that she has no feelings for him at all never crossed her mind.

She is still thinking in a way what he is letting her think.

Oh! I like scheming men. No King will be good for my innocent cousin.

I wish Human sculpture is somewhat scheming and sly too. Although his arrogance won my heart, I still like a dose of scheming to make our story a little adventurous.

"That makes sense." Aella whispered audibly as she nodded to herself.

"Good, let's go for this date you planned for us." Non King smiled smugly at Aella and then turned to smirk at Human sculpture.

"Date? I planned it?" Aella asked and when she saw Non King raise a brow at her, she nodded to herself again as she calculated something in her mind. "I must've planned it at the time of confession. Sorry I forgot." She said holding Non King's hand gently and walking out with him hand in hand.
