Free Web NovelChapter 235: Lawrence’s Secret Crush
The heartwarming action from this team and the love and respect they held in their eyes for him spoke volumes. Zyair could feel an emotional lump in his throat as he pursed his lips for a few seconds before mumbling in an emotional tone.
"Thank you! I don’t have enough words for this gesture."
Skyla excitedly stepped forward, closer to him.
"It suits you perfectly, the title, and we all know how perfectly you pull off Kakashi’s costume," Skyla added in the mix and everyone nodded their heads with a, "Yes."
Zyair couldn’t help but mysteriously smirk at Skyla’s answer. He was sure she was also referring to the fact that they had met for the first time with him dressed like Kakashi.
They had decided to watch a new animated movie with their boss while all of them were dressed up in anime characters. It would release some of the tension, they will make happy memories and will post the pictures on the social media. Showing the world, he wasn’t alone, all of them were there with him.
Zyair was helped by Skyla and Lawrence to put on the cloak and the hat. Making him look exactly like Kakashi Hatake dressed up as the sixth Hokage. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The whole room was in awe of how smart and perfect he appeared.
"Can we get a few pictures?" Mawar requested. All of them were already dressed up as different characters from Naruto’s universe.
"Of course!" He was more than happy to oblige.
Skyla removed her own gown revealing the costume of Mei Terumī from Naruto Shippuden. The fiery hair, the fiery personality and emerald shaded eyes matched Skyla’s now. She adjusted the front two locks of her hair in the same fashion like Mei had in the anime.
Zyair’s eyes wavered to her and he couldn’t help but smile again at her clever selection of the costume. Costume fitted her so well and the way she had curled her hair in front of her face, it was perfect. Everything about her was perfect.
"You chose well, my love," he whispered as they took their seats and both of them sat side by side.
"They unleashed my inner Mei, I very well accept her." She chuckled before slipping her hand in his and he squeezed it with all the love his heart held for her. They stared at each other for a few seconds and before they would lean in and end up kissing, both of them looked away.
The lights dimmed, the movie started. Popcorn, snacks and drinks were passed around. The music and peace filled the room where everyone sat mesmerised and watched the movie.
Mawar and Lawrence were sitting together, they were talking more than anyone else. Betting on the movie and its characters. How will the movie end?
"I think he will sacrifice himself for the greater good." Mawar made her bet about the male lead.
"That will be too typical, considering how the story is going I think he will just disappear, plunging the world into chaos." Lawrence countered.
Everyone else was either engrossed in the movie or laughing at Mawar and Lawrence’s discussion.
One member of their media team was snapping pictures to be posted. They wanted to show the world their united front and also how they had moved forward, the world should too.
Once the movie ended everyone cheered, especially Mawar. She had won her bet and was teasing Lawrence.
"Ice Cream, Lari. I want a whole tub of ice-cream."
"Ok, ok. Lawrence always keeps his promise. Tonight, we will go for ice cream." Lawrence seriously fist bumped his puffed chest, showing he meant what he had said.
Skyla and Zyair were cackling at his antics, knowing his cheeky personality.
"Thank you for the wonderful movie, for this title you people have bestowed on me and for inviting us over. We appreciate it very much and I will always strive hard to live up to your expectations of me." Zyair stated as they got up and were ready to leave.
"Sir! You already are and we will always be behind you providing you our unending support." Mawar answered, standing closer to Lawrence, who was watching her with a stupid grin on his face. His eyes wouldn’t budge from her face. Skyla was watching him with a sly smile.
"Thanks guys, I am proud of you all. Good work today," Skyla appreciated her department before they exited it to head back to their offices on the upper level.
Lawrence was walking ahead of them but backwards, so he was facing them and was enthusiastically discussing the movie and Mawar.
"Seems like little Lari has a crush," Zyair teased and said the exact same thing Skyla wanted to say.
Lawrence’s tanned cheeks deeply blushed and he froze like a snowman in his place with his mouth open for a while, sending Skyla and Zyair both into giggles. They stopped in their tracks as well.
"What? No, she is just a friend," Lawrence tried to defend himself but his blush kept widening.
"What’s wrong with liking a friend? It’s even easier because you already know each other." Skyla countered with a tilt of her head and mischievously blinked.
"That’s exactly why he bet ice cream with her so he can take her out. It’s all his tactics," Zyair pointed out, cocking his right brow at Lawrence and making a slight click sound with his tongue.
"I think he had already seen the movie and betted on what didn’t happen. Letting her purposely win. Clever move, Lawrence. I am impressed." Skyla nodded her head at him, her lips lopsided.
"Do you guys hear yourselves? What absurdities you people are talking about." Lawrence huffed, clasping his waist with his hands.
"We are just stating the truth, right Zyair?" Skyla shrugged her shoulders and placed her arm on Zyair’s shoulder.
"We are. Lawrence, you better come clean with us. No secrets, remember." Zyair extended his hand and pulled Lawrence’s nose as if he was a kid for him. He indeed was for him and will always be like a little brother. Brother he enjoyed teasing incessantly.
"Stop it. I am not a kid. And I am not telling anything, you people will only make fun of me." They started walking again and reached Zyair’s office, throwing the door open, they entered it.
"So there is some truth to our words," Skyla pried again while settling comfortably on the sofa. Zyair stood beside her, taking off his Hokage hat and cloak.
"Ok, fine. Yeah I might have a slight crush on her. She is so pretty and smart. A perfect combination." He threw his hands out showing the cat was out of the bag. Skyla and Zyair were all smiles at his confession.
"See, we knew." Zyair patted his shoulder.
"Take her out for ice cream and show kindness and respect. That’s what girls want. She is a good one, soon she will see what an amazing person you are." Skyla got up and took his hands in hers and squeezed.
Lawrence exhaled dramatically and nodded, finally it was off his chest and he could have someone to confide in.
"You guys are the best, thank you."
