Chapter 281 - Starry Nights

Aim.Focus.Throw.And Hit!This time directly on Neil's forehead.

"Owww."

Mi Rae's mouth fell open when the door suddenly turned and her peanut missile landed at Neil.She winced and ran to him,"Aiyaaa..sorry!You came in the at the wrong time!!"

Neil,who was unexpectedly hit by the peanut 'missile',looked at Mi Rae and sardoncally and said,"So it is my fault for not asking before entering.."

To pacify him,Mi Rae pulled down his hand and rubbed his forehead with her own hands.."No no!It is my fault for having good aim.."

Narrowing his eyes at Mi Rae he saw that she was hardly controlling her laughter and her eyes were twinkling at him.So she thought it was fun to hit him!

Winding an arm around her waist,Neil said,"Ms Sunshine,this time I will let you be..but next time if you greet me with peanut bullets then..",Neil leaned closer and his hand moved lower,"I'll spank this luscious little bottom..and now my girlfriend needs to greet me with a proper kiss." 

With that,he placed a sweet kiss on Mi Rae's shocked mouth and moved back casually with a roguish look..

Mi Rae who came to her senses in a minute,saw Neil pouring some water for himself and pouted..atleast he could have kissed her properly..Moving back to her seat,she planted the said bottom on it and took aim at his back as he drank his water and threw another peanut at him.This time catching him on the back on his neck!

Neil rubbed the offended spot and turned to see,only to be pelted by another peanut aimed at his chest.Placing the glass on the table softly,Neil advanced towards her like a hunter while Mi Rae ran towards the other side,still clutching a handful of peanuts..Dangerously,Neil said,"Seems like Ms Mi Rae is in a hurry to get her bottom spanked!"

Mi Rae held her hands forward and said,"No no no no..You said that only if I greet you like this next time!We have alreadt greeted so this should be fine!!"Spying the discarded shells,Mi Rae wuickly picked them up and threw them at Neil.While he tried to protect himself from the dust,Mi Rae ran out of the kitchen squealing..

Dusting off the shells,Neil went after her and saw her eating the peanuts and staring at him with eyes wide with excitement and maybe just maybe anticipation..

Neil slowed his pace and he could see her almost trembling.She did not try to run or evade him this time...

Going to her,he sat next to her and pulled her oto his lap,almost scaring her and causing her to throw all the remaining peanuts up,which then later fell on them like confetti.With her deer in headlight look,Neil smirked and said,"My sunshine is really daring..I am going to keep an account of your transgressions and you will pay when you are healed.."

Mi Rae could only nod in response.She was lost to all reason as she sat still in his lap.Smiling his devilish smile,Neil put her back in her place and said,"I'll freshen up and then we can have dinner and you can tell me why you were throwing peanuts in the first place.."

With that Neil left her to go upstairs.

A little while later,Neil came down to see Mi Rae eating the peanuts and watching a cartoon show..It did not look very interesting but she was engrossed in it.He moved to the kitchen and laid the table with the cold soup and noodles and then called out to Mi Rae.But his call was left unanswered so he went directly to the couch where she was engrossed and picking her up,brought her to the table.She glared at him and said,"Neil!I can walk perfectly fine."

"It is not your walking but your hearing I doubt madam!"

Mi Rae outed at that and said,"What!I was bored all day and finally found omething interesting to watch.."

"Mi Rae,you were watching children's cartoons.."

She just scowled back at him owlishly and said nothing.Pouring the cold sou and noodles for her,he placed them in front of her and said,"Eat." and then was absorbed in eating his own food.Mi Rae was tempted to throw a tantrum and refuse food when she remembered Alicia's warning,"Neil loves food..And his stomach is like a bottomless pit!So if you ever cook for him,make enough to feed an army."

The food in front of her looked tasty and she did not want Neil to finish it all so she decided to follow his example and eat first before lodhing her complaints of boredom..

Once the meal was over,Neil cleared the table with quick efficieny and ame to Mi Rae with a childish smile on his face.Holding her hands,he intertwined his fingers with hers and slighty pulled at her hand to indicate her to follow him.Once she had gotten off her seat,he pulled her up the stairs,towards the terrace.She looked at him curiously and he answered,"Come on my sunshine..I need to show you my sky.."

Outside,on the terrace was a room that looked like a glass bowl.and inside it were two lounge chairs and two telescopes on stands.Neil took her inside and pointed for her to lie down on the lounge.Once she had done as he had said,Neil brought is over to her and adjusted so that within a few seconds,she was able to see the entire starry sky and planets..
