Time Turner

"She really needs to learn from me. Brother, can you make take a look outside, just in case that Cathleen might suddenly come back. If she did, tell me." Her fingers began to type several commands furiously.

"How much time did you need?" Alfizar asked.

"15 minutes to break in, 3 minutes to download the file then we can go after I turn everything back to its place," Aurina said without looking up to Alfizar. Knowing that he shouldn't disturb Aurina if he wants to get out of her and go back home with the mission success.

Alfizar opened the door and watched Henry and Cathleen's back. The two were talking, but because their voices were too low, he couldn't listen in to their conversation. But what happened after a little over ten minutes watching them almost send Alifzar's soul out of his body.

Cathleen stood up from her seat and seems to say something to Henry. Then it happened.

He watched the scene in front of him with eyes wide and jaw-dropping in incredulous feeling.

***

Honestly speaking, Henry was uncomfortable with his current situation. Henry is not dense, nor was he stupid. This girl called Cathleen obviously the type of girl that falls for looks!

"Aaaand you have to create the website and design it the way you like it~!" Cathleen guides his hand which was currently on the mouse. Her own palm was over his. This situation usually happened to a girl, but now... looks like heaven really hate him. '

'Why did the situation have me as a girl while Cathleen advancing like a boy?!' Henry mentally questioned the heaven as he currently at lost whether to laugh or cry at his situation.

Cathleen happily helps him to design the site while keep sticking to his side. There's no cold wind blowing, but Henry feels his spine shivered. About ten minutes later Cathleen suddenly looks like she had forgotten something.

With a reluctant face, she stood up from her seat. "Wait a few minutes for me okay?"

Henry's heartbeat quicken in panic. Aurina and Alfizar still in that room! A quick glance at the door and the peeking Alfizar behind Cathleen sends Henry's body to move suddenly out of reflex.

He stood up then pulled in Cathleen's shoulder when she was about to turn around, she fell into his arms. Cathleen looked up at Henry in surprise but she didn't struggle to break free. Instead, she tiptoed to reach Henry's lips. It was only a peck on the lips and only last a second, her face bright red but she looked at him happily.

"You were about to do that, right?" Her eyes looked up at Henry full of expectation.

'Hell no! You are the who kiss me!' Henry raged in his head. Probably Cathleen could see the truth from Henry's stupefied expression. Her eyes teared up in shame and were about to run to the main computer room. But she was stopped by the same hand again. But this time, Henry actually leaned down to deeply kissed her.

Cathleen's wide eyes slowly closed as Henry tilt his head and one of his palms held the back of her head in place. In Cathleen's perspective, Henry was deepening the kiss. But the truth was, Henry, tilted his head to look at the stunned Alfizar without having his sight block by her forehead. His hand held her head in place so she won't suddenly run with the excuse of feeling embarrassed.

One of his hand warped around her waist and suddenly formed an OK with his fingers, then waved at Alfizar with a gesture telling Alfizar to go inside. He was basically telling Alfizar, "I'll be okay, go inside!"

Then Henry saw Alfizar returned to the room silently.

The deep kiss keep going for almost a minute until Cathleen pushed him away in the need of air, but Henry didn't let her go, he trapped her in his arms.

"I thought-"

"Making a site was only an excuse," Henry said as he rested his chin on her head. His brain going on a rampage as he tried to remember any quotes from romance movies Aurina have them watch on movie nights.

'Ah! That Sniper's Love at First Sight movie!' Henry's face turned sour as he feels like an actor in that movie. The situation is familiar. He closed his eyes with a weird expression as he forced himself to say that cheesy line.

"I have fallen in love for the very first time when I saw you that day." Henry recited the male lead's dialogue word by word without missing any words. "I never thought that will come the day where I will truly fall in love like this. There's no one like you in this world. So please... don't leave me alone. I promised that I will always protect you from those bad guy-" Henry stopped abruptly.

'Why the heck did I say that part of the dialogue?!' Henry was sweating bullet, his eyes snapped open when he realized his mistake, he stared at Alfizar who actually peeking again with red face struggling to held in his laughter.

The shaking body in his arms brings him back to the awkward reality.

"It was agood movie, I always dreamed of having someone to say that kind of words to me. And you actually say that to me." Cathleen said as she rested her head on his c.h.e.s.t, then wrapped her hand to his back. She was not aware that behind her, there were two people speedwalking while careful to make any noise to alert her.

Henry could see that Alfizar was having a hard time holding in his laughter. But Henry was grateful that Alfizar distracts Aurina for looking at their direction by blocking her sight with his palm.

"Thank you for the help." Henry suddenly said as he awkwardly pulled away.

"About the site? Don't mention it-"

"You know? I'm from the Acting Club was just testing my skill." Henry smiled wryly as he tried to clear the mess without leaving any hope of getting in any kind of relationship with the girl.
