Take Me Away
Chapter 9 An Unexpected Guest
Fiona was drawing the cliff across the training ground. She looked down at the sketchpad and suddenly felt a black shadow blocking the sunshine.
She guessed who it was even without looking.
"Fiona, you aren't even looking at me!" Spencer spat.
"I'm drawing!" she replied shortly. She wiped the spot that she was unsatisfied with and continued drawing. She still didn't look up at Spencer. She got the feeling that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Well stop drawing. A guest has arrived at the base. Come with me." As he spoke, he took the opportunity to quickly peep into her painting.
Finally, Fiona raised her head. From this point of view, she felt that Spencer looked unusually beautiful. His angular chin, long neck, and slightly protruding Adam's apple gave him a dreamy appearance.
"Ahem!" Embarrassed at herself for ogling at him, Fiona turned her face away pretending to cough. "I'm also a guest!"
"What kind of a guest are you?" Spencer grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
"Oh, no! My sketchpad! Stop!" Fiona struggled. "Stop it! Don't grab me!"
"Johnson! Hold those things for her!" Spencer ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Johnson immediately picked up her stuff and followed them.
"Let me go!" Fiona's tiny hand was captured by Spencer's big one. She was uncomfortable with such intimate contact. "Let go of me, I can walk by myself!"
"Why? This could be a date. Don't you need to hold my hand if we're on a date?" Spencer clutched her hand even tighter. It felt good to hold her delicate cold hand!
"Bah! Who wants to date you? Just let go of me now!" Fiona wriggled, desperately trying to get out of his grip. She had always been soft, but now she couldn't help but howl.
Spencer stopped abruptly and released her hand.
"Phew!" Fiona breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her swollen hand glaring at him. Damn, he was too powerful!
But before she could completely relax, her body suddenly became lighter, and her feet were off the ground. In an instant, the sky and the earth were spinning, and she could smell Spencer's musky scent. 'He is truly crazy!'
Johnson, who was standing behind them, was astonished. How could Spencer actually carry Fiona on his shoulder!
"Wow! You look small, but you are a little heavy," Spencer grunted and smile wickedly.
Fiona came to and wobbled on Spencer's shoulder. She frantically twisted her arms and legs. "Put me down this instant! Spencer! Now!"
"It'll only take a few steps to get there. Don't worry, I'm not tired." He was determined to not let her go. 'I can fix you!' he thought.
As he crossed the shooting field, the playground and the fight field, the image of Spencer carrying Fiona on his shoulder was seared into everyone's mind.
With her head hanging in the air, Fiona felt like the blood was going to cause her brain to burst. Unaffected by the stares he was receiving and Fiona's constant wriggling, Spencer continued striding along and soon arrived at the white building.
When Kristen Qu saw the tall figure approaching not far away, the light in her eyes faded a little before she could smile.
