"Pan, how are you..." My voice trails off as I glance around the room. The bed is empty. Where could the ill man have gone?
I check the rest of the rooms but he isn't anywhere. I even ask the servants to check. Liana runs around frantically as she searches for her brother but there is no sign of him.
"It's my fault!" I say worriedly.
"He probably went for a walk Tin. Don't think too much about it. Pan will be fine." Liana comforts me.
"I hope so." I say quietly. "Stay here Liana and let me know if you see him. I'll go out and look for him."
Where could he have gone in his feverish state? He would have taken me with him anyway. I have a bad feeling.
Riding my motorbike, I keep my eyes alert for any signs of him. He can't have vanished into thin air.
"You always bring me troubles Panda King!" I shout as I drive. It's my fault he
Staring at the man on the sofa, I don't blink. He is still a little strange with odd silver hair and red-pink eyes similar to that of a rabbit. His skin is paler than the whitest paper. He grins at me as he sips the orange juice. WHY IS HE HERE?! "Wade, meet Tin - Pan's bodyguard. Tin, this is Wade Rider - Pan's one and only friend." Liana introduces as she brings me a glass of milk. My eyes widen and my jaw drops. Is she serious? She knows this weird man? "Nice to meet you Tin." Wade smirks as he holds out a hand. My face heats up as I glare at him and shake his hand roughly. "I should have shot you." I mutter under my breath. His red-pink eyes twinkle in amusement, "Did you say something?" "Nothing!" I say quickly and drink the water Liana brought for me. I smile at her a
"Woah! What are you doing?" We simultaneously turn to look at the guest standing in the doorway. "You should have locked the door." He smirks as his red-pink eyes hover between Panda and I. Pan's ears tint red as he glares, "Wade Rider! What are you doing here?" "Is that how you greet your saviour?" Wade grins, crossing his arms as he leans against the door frame. "Tin rescued me. How are you my saviour?" Pan asks. Wade glances at me, "You didn't tell him?" I shake my head, "I didn't have a chance to." He clicks his tongue, "I helped Tin bring you back. You couldn't even sit upright on the motorbike." As Pan moves slightly, I feel something poke between my legs and stare at him in horror. I forgot for a moment that he is still nude. Is it normal for male friends to see each
My arms ache as I carry the countless bags. Liana seems to enjoy shopping. She brought Pan and I along with her but instead of being a bodyguard, I am being used as a human bag carrier. "Liana, are you sure you still need to go to another shop?" Pan asks wearily, glancing behind at me. "Yes. I promise it's the last one." Liana turns her head to look at me, "Sorry Tin." I smile tiredly, "It's fine. I'll manage." She tucks her blonde hair behind her ears as she walks in front of me with her brother. What is so enjoyable about shopping? I usually just get the cheapest top I find. Rich people sure are different. As we enter the last shop, my eyes glance around. There are actually decent clothes here. Liana excitedly heads to the dress section and calls me over. "Tin, leave the bags with Pan and help me check which dress looks good on me."&
Sure enough, Wade Rider is already outside when we arrive. Liana hurriedly gestures for me to enter through the back and I nod and head around the other side of the mansion. I manage to climb up to my bedroom balcony. Fortunately, the door isn't locked and I can easily slide myself inside. Liana should be making an excuse for me right now. I gasp as I hear footsteps and loud voices approach my room. Is he suspecting something? "Are you sure Tin is out with his girlfriend? He didn't say anything about a girlfriend to me." Wade's voice says. "Yes, he rang to tell me he is on a date." Liana lies. "Fine. Let me ring him." Wade says. No!" Liana says quickly and I hear some shuffling outside my door. "Dude, why don't you call it a day and leave? We're tired after shopping all day." Pan's voice says. "P
"Fine. But you can't sleep on the bed." Is what I said but why the hell is he lying next to me?! I forgot about his sleep-walking habits. He somehow moved from the floor to the bed whilst I was asleep. As his arms hug me tighter against him, I try not to slap his hands off me. Why do I always end up in weird situations with this guy? "Don't leave me Tin..." He whimpers in his sleep. Is he dreaming about me? He must be scared that I'll leave. "You're a difficult person but I won't leave you again." I promise as I gently touch his hands. Is the darkness making me weak? *** I wake up to the feel of something soft against my mouth. Flicking my eyelids open, my eyes widen at Panda King in front of me. He is still asleep but his lips are pressed on mine. How many times have we accidentally kissed now? I'
"Tina, are you free this weekend?" My mother asks from the other side of the phone call. "I'll check. Why Mum?" I ask curiously. It's strange for her to call me and ask if I'm free. Is she planning something? "It's nothing. Just a friend of mine is holding a small party and wants me to bring you along." Mum explains vaguely. I frown. Why does she want me to go? "You can take Mint instead." I say. Knowing Panda, I doubt he will let me leave my duties. "My friend last saw you when you were a baby and she's excited to see how you've grown up. Please Tina. Do it for me darling?" Mum pleads. She's using that desperate voice which she knows I can never refuse. "Fine Mum." I sigh in defeat. "I'll come home on Saturday." "That's all. Thank you darling." She sounds cheerful and a little too excited. What is she planning now?
"Pretty Lady, would you mind if I join you?" Reflexively glancing at the voice, my eyes widen in shock and panic. "W-what at are you doing here?!" I gasp. It's too late for me to escape. "I should be asking you that Tin." He stares at me intensely, "Why are you...this?" He asks gesturing at my clothes and face. Damn it! I was too confident in thinking no one will know me here. "Don't tell anyone." I hiss, as I gesture for him to sit. "Or I will kill you." "Don't worry, I know you probably have your reasons right?" He says as he sits opposite me. I nod. "Actually, my mum planned to have me dressed like this today." "But now that I see you like this, you're definitely a girl. No wonder, I always felt you were too feminine." He says with a nod. "Wade Rider, don't you dare tell
I end up leaving the party early and Mum isn't pleased at all when I head out without her. Did I overthink? Maybe she didn't plan anything. Even if she did, meeting both Wade Rider and Panda King when I am dressed like this is the worst thing that could happen. My head is slightly hurting after being exposed to the loud music, dancing and drinks. We came in a taxi so I'll have to call another one to get home. It's still early and Mum will probably take longer so I can walk around for a while and clear my head. I'm still hungry after eating a lot of the snacks. Maybe the dancing made me burn it off. Walking out of the gates and onto the street, I check on my phone for the nearest shop. It's fifteen minutes away. Following the map on my phone, I walk down. The street lamps are on already, illuminating the dark streets. As I continue on my way, loud voices distract me. Listening carefully,
