Chapter 145 - A Good Listener

If other Hunters choose a garden or inside the Caspian Castle as a place to rest or do other things, Nic went to the garage to spend her time.

It's been such a long time since she hasn't come to the garage. Nic didn't know why but the garage was one of her favourite places. It's because she can sleep inside the jeep without anyone disturbing her.

When she reached the garage, Nic saw Carlos and Rexy were there packing the weapon into the locker.

Carlos was checking one of the weapons where Nic usually uses when they went out for a mission.

Carlos shifted his head to Nic and he gave Nic a warm, welcoming smile when he saw Nic.

"Pretty busy, eh? What's you guys doing?" asked Nic.

Nic approaches one of the old and worn single coaches. She sat on the couch while watching the two men doing their job. Even though the couch was old and worn, Nic was comfortable sitting there.

"Oh, hey Nic!" Rexy greeted before he lifted up a load of armour and put it inside a locker.

"Well, like what you see, we are checking this armour before we can use it for another mission again. We should avoid any error due to default in function of the weapons," Carlos answered as he flipped over the gun on the table to the other side.

Nic just nodded. She didn't talk anymore and she just watched the two men doing their job. After a while, she felt bored. That when she started to take out a lollipop from her black jacket.

Carlos peeked a glance at Nic when the girl put the lollipop inside her mouth. He chuckled a bit before he said, "You really like lollipops that much, huh?"

Nic looked at Carlos with the lollipop still inside her mouth. That view made Carlos gulped on his own saliva. She looked adorable, like a five-year-old kid who was eating a lollipop.

"Of course I like them. It's my favourite!" saie Nic.

"What else did you like apart from lollipop? Chocolate?" asked Carlos. He put the gun on the table in a box before he grabbed another gun.

"Urmm, watermelon?"

Carlos chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt when he heard the answer from Nic. "Watermelon??"

"Why?? It's also a food," said Nic annoyingly when Carlos laughed at her answer. He is the one who asks me what my other favourite thing is, why did he laugh at me then?

"Nothing. I thought you would prefer something.. Not as food. Like maybe flowers?"

"No, I don't like flowers. Emma is the one who likes flowers. She can stay at a garden full of flowers for like, I don't know.. Forever? I might say that she is willing to sleep in the middle of the garden that is full of those flowers!" Nic said as she started to nag about Emma who loves flowers a lot.

Carlos chuckled again. He doesn't know but this girl sounds funny at this time. He easily gets laughed at just by her story.

"Emma has a unique taste. If she wasn't a Huntress, I bet she would have opened a flower shop. She is suitable for that job," Carlos pointed out his opinion about Emma.

Nic drowned in her own thoughts. Maybe he is right. Back there, in our own world, we were still a student. In a couple of months, we will graduate from school. But, can we still go back to our own world and do things we left behind???

Carlos shifted his full attention to Nic when he didn't hear any sound from her. When Carlos saw Nic was lost in her own world, Carlos was wondering if Carlos had said something that offended this girl.

"Nic!??" called Carlos.

But Nic still wouldn't budge.

"Nic!?" Carlos called one more time and this time, Nic quickly turned her head to Carlos with a confused face. "Huh?" she asked.

"Why do you look so lost?? What are you thinking of?" asked Carlos.

"Urmm… uh, nothing."

Carlos was inconvenienced by Nic's simple answer. He can sense that there is more than just nothing that makes Nic seem so lost.

"You know, I can straight away tell you that you are lying. You were thinking about something isn't it? Don't feel shy to tell me, I'm a very good listener," he said as Carlos still wanted to make Nic spill out the things that have been bothering her.

"I was just thinking about something ridiculous. Why did you want to hear about it?" Nic also doesn't want to surrender right away as she is still trying to find excuses so that she wouldn't answer anything to Carlos.

Carlos looks at Nic with a defeated face. Why would she be this stubborn? Is it too embarrassing to tell me what she was thinking?

"Okay, I won't insist on you anymore. But could you help me to put this back into the locker? I surely need some help here," said Carlos.

Nic stood up from the couch and she walked toward Carlos. Carlos gestured to her to put a load of armour into an empty locker. Nic beckoned at the order and she quickly did it.

After a while, Rexy went to them and called for Carlos's name." Carlos, can you help me? Something stuck inside the metal box and I couldn't open it!" said Rexy.

Carlos nodded and he left with Rexy.

Nic was left alone there. After she had done the job, Nic went to sit back on the couch. She closed her eyes as she quickly took a quick nap.

When Carlos came back, he saw Nic already leaning over the couch and was napping. He watched the calm Nic before he grabbed his jacket on a jeep.

Carlos used the jacket to wrap it on Nic. He stayed for a minute and stared at the fascinating figure. A stunning smirk appeared on his lips. Carlos walked away again and he continued his job.

The more Carlos wants to stay there, the more he wants to stare at Nic.

As Carlos made his way far from Nic, slowly Nic opened her eyes. She focused her gaze on Carlos's figure. Nic stared at Carlos's jacket again.

Nic can feel the warmth around his jacket. A breeze scent of Carlos's perfume diffuses into her surroundings, giving a calm sensation through Nic's nose.

Nic sighed heavily. She was defeated by the alluring smell and couldn't help but to cuddle more inside the jacket.

With no time, Nic closed her eyes again and this time, she really did fall asleep. She sleeps soundly while the jacket gives her warmth she needs.
