Chapter 10: What will you do then?
'Condition… what condition?' Misty asked innocently.
'Hehe…' Hira smirked.
'Oh… it's nothing much, for every question you ask… I need a kiss.' He demanded.
'What… no… that's not happening.' Misty refused.
'Okay then boss. See you around.' Hira said as he moved as if he is about to get up and go.
'Wa... wait you can't do that to me… I am your boss.' Misty tried using her superiority.
'Oh… I can do that to you… I am your bully' Hira shot back.
'Yo… you bully' Misty could not believe he has become such a bad guy so fast.
'That's correct.' Hira laughed.
'So… do you want the answers. Or will I have to try some other way to kiss you?' Hira asked… making sure to remind her that he would not let go of any opportunity to kiss her.
'Wha What?' Misty finally gave up.
'O… Okay' she said meekly.
'Alright Misty… please hurry up and ask a question' Hira who looked as if he was about to go away, instantly demanded her to ask a question.
…
'Ummm… Why… Why were those thugs here…' Misty finally asked what has been bugging her since morning.
'Oh they came her to tell us who the culprit was.'
'What… no that's not what I... mmff' before she could finish, her lips were sealed by Hira's as he started taking his 'fees'.
'mmwah… sweet. Okay boss… next question please' Hira demanded her to ask the next question.
…
Misty's mind short circuited for a moment, as a kiss landed on her out of nowhere. She calmed herself down as she asked the question again.
'No… that's not what I meant… why did the thugs started helping us.'
'Oh… that's because they consider me as their friend now.' Hira said as he moved to kiss her again.
But this time, Misty bested him, as she landed a peck on his cheek.
'There… now answer the next question properly.' Misty said.
'Hey that's cheating.' Hira revolted.
'Hey… you said a kiss for a question. You did not say it has to be a lip kiss' Misty was not a fool.
'Talking as if you don't like it…' Hira humphed.
…
Misty kept her embarrassment in control, as she asked.
'Don't fool around Hira… answer me properly please. How did they become your friends'
'Oh… that's… that's because I used my powers on them' Hira answered truthfully.
'Powers? What powers?' Misty asked.
'Nope boss… pay for the earlier question first.' Hira would not let her take advantage of him again.
'You… fine' Misty said as and gave him a peck on the cheeks.
'Now answer… what powers are you talking about.'
…
'Sorry Misty… I can't answer that question.' Hira replied honestly.
'It's not that I want to tell you… But I have decided, that I will only talk about my powers to those whom I can call as my woman.' He said sincerely.
'Your woman… you… you mean…' Misty understood what he meant by that.
'Yeah…' Hira was sincere, but he lost that just as fast.
'And you know what… I really want to tell you about my powers… and it looks like you want to know about my powers as well. So how about it… just become my woman and I will tell you all about it.' He spoke.
'…'
'Can you get serious for a moment' Misty did not know weather to laugh or cry. Hira solved her problems with the thugs in a single day, but now he was acting this way in front of her. Was he smart… or was he an idiot?
'But I am serious…' He said, his face showing his seriousness.
…
'We… we should talk about such things later…' Misty said as she lowered her head.
Right now, was not the time for her to be thinking about such things. She had too many responsibilities on her shoulders, she could not commit to a relationship in such situations.
'…' Hira didn't say anything. He pulled her in his embrace as both of them silent. She did not resist him either. She knew he was serious, but she could still not come to terms with the fact that her situation was dire, and she did not want Hira to suffer with her either. Not that he would let go of her this way. But, even if there was a slight possibility, she wanted Hira to get away from her when she could not handle it anymore.
'What if I solve these problems… What will you do then…?' Hira asked.
'… Then… I will become your woman' She replied silently.
'Umhmm…' Hira did not ask her anything else. He just hugged her for a while.
…
Three days have passed since the night Hira, made 'friends' with the thugs.
'Every day after that has been peaceful for Misty's Magic Shop. Even though customers were still less frequent because of troubles they had been through during the times when thugs used to burst into the shop. And even if some came, the number of customers who were getting out with what they wanted kept decreasing as the supplies were still a problem for the shop. Misty was worried about the situation, but Hira assured her that these problems will be solved very soon.
…
'Hmmm…' A young-looking pretty girl was currently standing against the desk as she was looking at Hira who had Misty sitting on his lap.
'Oh… look who it is… isn't it the old lady who tried to separate me from my love… Well, hello there… meet my wife here. Her name is Misty' Hira bragged in front of the little-old girl.
'Ho… How is this possible. Big sister… did he play tricks on you… How can such a stupid looking boy have such a beautiful big sister… Nooo…' The girl said as she made funny faces.
'Hahahahaha…' Hira could not help by laugh watching the girl's antiques.
'hihi…' The little-old girl also laughed with them.
'Thank you.' Hira said.
'You are welcome…' The girl replied.
'Although I am still not sure how can such a beautiful woman be fooled by you.' The young girl commented.
'I don't know… It's quite hard to get a reading on my charms, you see the stats are too high.' Hira replied shamelessly.
'Shameless…' The girl commented.
Misty who was looking down all this time already knew these two were fooling around, she had already lost herself to Hira's charms. What could she do. Being around him just felt so good. She could not give up on this feeling anymore.
'Click.'
The door opened as the thugs entered the shop.
'Oh… it's my friends… you ladies chat, I will come back in a while' Hira said as he motioned the thugs to follow him.
Misty who knew Hira was planning something against Carl looked at him worriedly, he just smiled at her assuredly.
'Sure…' Barn said as the thugs followed Hira inside the shop.
…
'So big sister, is he good in bed…' was the first question the little girl asked as soon as she found herself alone with Misty.
'Wha… What?'
'You know… sex… he is good right?' The girls asked again.
'You… You should not be asking such questions?' Misty reprimanded her, her face red as ripe tomato.
'Oh come on… don't be shy big sister.' The girl insisted.
'We…we haven't done anything like that.' Misty replied meekly.
'What… you haven't done it yet, why? Does he have some kind of problem there?' The girl asked again.
'No… No… nothing like that… it's just that… that…' Misty did not know what to say.
Did Hira not try to have intimate time with her? Of course he did, but what did she say, she told him about her problems. And now what? Now he was away from her… trying to solve her problems with his so called 'friends'.
Such thoughts kept appearing in her head. She could not help but think of herself as selfish.
…
The little girl who saw that Misty was getting uncomfortable also decided to change the topic.
'Oh… that's such a nice bracelet.' She said, 'Did that big brother give it to you?'
'No… it's from my father. He gave it on my last birthday.' Misty replied.
'Oh… it looks so good.' The girl started having girly talk with Misty who also enjoyed talking with her.
…
Soon half an hour had passed.
'Oh… miss old-lady is still here'
The girls heard Hira's voice as he came out of the other room.
'I am not goin…' The girl was interrupted as Misty shouted 'Hira what happened to your hand' as she ran over to him. His left hand was wrapped in a cloth tightly, but she could still see blood spots on it.
'Oh… it's nothing.' Hira said as he looked at Barn 'You guys get going.'
'Don't worry Hira, we won't let you down.' Barn said as the bandits left the shop with, each holding a bag.
