Two Hearts in a Cold Street

20. Pain(t)ball

"WHAT?!"

"I love making people falling in love! We are all going to go paintball, that's perfect for a date. He will act too much to protect you and you will--"

"SHUT UP." I threw a pillow at his face then ran to bathroom right away.

What did he say?
Paintball?
Gray?
Aishhhh!
Whatever, I will deal with devil Mitchell later.
I need to get ready quickly and find the reason why on earth Gray's here without telling me at first.

----

How about my original plan to avoid everyone?
Ruined.
Well maybe not fully..
I avoid doodle team members, still half of my plan actually happened.
You can't get everything you want, I see.

"Where's Gray?" I noticed when Gray wasn't anywhere at the lobby to be seen.

"Gray isn't here."  Mitchell casually and innocently kept walking as we passed the lobby.

I stopped walking and looked at Mitchell as he grew two head.

"Whatt?" Oh, how I wish I misheard him.

"You heard me." he replied as I'm kind of idiot not understanding his words.

"You lied to me?!" half shouted was my respond. Don't blame me, I was lost at words, seriously... Mitchell, how could he--

He linked his arm on mine and half dragging me to the parking area because people were looking at us, "Well not really, but a little?"

"You- " I tried to reach his neck, I want to choke him! I swear! But he's taller than me so it's hard for me to reach.

He ignored my murder attempt and opened the door car for me, half shoving me in so I wouldn't make more embarrassing scene.

"I didn't think this will work, at first."  he said, when he turning on the car engine, "You know, who knows mentioning his name could make you revive from your sleep."

Ugh, can I strangle him, please?

"You will meet him, don't worry. Pfffttt, today gonna be fun~" he was teasing me, it's embarrassing  but at the end I smiled too. Maybe I will feel better after move around, shooting everyone with paint balls.

"I will punch you." I still managed to threatening him to hide my embarrassment of course.

"Yeah yeah~"

"Who's idea to go paintballing?"

"Paintballing? Is that even a word? Me, I woke up really late and missed running, I called Harvey and others to join but they already go hiking. Paintball will be good replace for work out."

"So it will be only three of us?"

"Don't be silly, I still have friends, Char. Gray and the others will join us. There's Minjung too, you will make friend."

"Yes, Sir."

It will be fun!

------

There's Jay and Minjung. They were already wearing uniform, so me and Mitchell not wasting time to join them.

"Hey, Charlie." Gray greeted me when I exit from the changing room. He wasn't the when I arrived, maybe he's at changing room.

I swear he's more handsome than last night... I mean, he's handsome but I didn't expect him to be look more handsome in broad daylight. He looks really attractive with the semi army uniform.

"Stop ogling at him, pervert." Mitchell nudged me and I elbowed his stomach as reply.

"You look cute, ignore AJ. You can look at me anytime you want."  Could Gray be more sweet than this? I think he could, and he would. But he still hasn't cross the line or make me cringe, that's great.

"Goshhhh, disgusting." Mitchell made gag sound then laughed.

"Can you just leave Gray alone? A man can try, right?" Jay smacked Mitchell's back.

"Just tell us if Gray makes you uncomfortable with his eyes heart emoji." Jay added, making all of us laughing.

"You guys ready?" Gray asked.

"Yeah, he will join us later. We can start now." Mitchell answered, maybe he's talking about their other friend.

We were originally six total. Gray, Mitchell and me make a team, of course with never ending teasing and fake gagging sound from Mitchell. Jay, Minjung and their will be come late friend make the other team.

I ran to hide as fast as I can, I will win with hiding until the game ended.

"Careful on your way.." Gray reminded me on the way we split direction.

"You know I've refrain myself to not shoot one of you, ok?" Mitchell's literally shoving Gray away from my side.

"Dean will shoot you on the chest, let's bet." Gray's comment made me freeze on my spot.

"I will shoot him first, he always win in this game. So annoying."

"Dean loves this game, he always be the last standing man." Gray added, then he looked at me, "just hide on the place that he will never could find you."

"You should worry for yourself." Mitchell answered on my behalf,  "It's just paintball, Char.. but geez.. Dean always make it feels like war."

"You guys shouldn't let him to join then.. he sounds scary."

"Well, we love adrenaline pumping." they both chuckled and we part ways.

"Good luck!"  I didn't pay attention anymore who's said that, because the most unwanted human to meet was actually here, near me.

I wish he would never find me.
