The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 73 - Trading For A Kiss



At mount Cornet

Aarvi didn't expect Aaron to plan a picnic date instead of the usual dates in the city. She liked the picnic date concept than the city anyway so she was more excited than Aaron.

They didn't go on trekking instead they arranged under the tree shade with a fantastic view of the clear water stream backdropping it with a lush green mount Cornet.

Aarvi who was finding a chance to annoy Aaron happily entered the water of depth just a foot and heard, "Aarvi!"

Aarvi chuckled and went further away before turning behind, "What? Sunny? You should have thought before taking me here."

Aaron: "..." 

The goal was Aarvi thoroughly enjoying the day and it is happening. Hence the sun for a little longer doesn't really matter. She wasn't that fragile to faint under the blazing sun.

Stuffing his hands in the pockets, he saw Aarvi talking to five little kids who were playing in the water. He felt alarmed when all looked at him at once and as he thought five kids ran over to his side and started splashing water at him with their little chubby hands.

The giggles of the kids with her content chuckles sounded around while Aaron didn't know whether to stand far to avoid or see them enjoying it.

"Now sister's turn." Aaron pointed to Aarvi and the kids obediently listened to him baffling her. She had to bribe them with cotton candy to do that.

"No..." Aarvi screamed and started running away. That excited the kids more and their parents started to encourage them leaving her at loss.

Suddenly all heard Aarvi scream, "Heyyy..."

Without a second thought, Aaron ran towards her on the bank of the stream while the kids and Aarvi curiously watched the water. Aaron's lips twitched watching them and walked slowly remembering it was 'Hey' not 'Ah'.

He went near them to see Neon Tetra, Red Garra, Mollies, Rainbowfish, Zebra Danios, and other colorful tiny fishes where there was nearly two feet depth. He can understand the astonishment of little kids but Aarvi trying to catch them was totally unexpected.

'Doozy'

Aarvi pulled Aaron to sit with her and the kids for a fish pedicure hearing the kids chuckle feeling it as tickling. Aaron taught them the names of fish he knew earning everyone's admiration whoever heard him.

As promised, Aarvi bought cotton candy for the kids before sitting for lunch with Aaron who had prepared all the picnic lunch boxes with Melia, "Do you know? This is my first picnic." Her parents never took her out on picnics or allowed her to on school picnics. During university, they went on trips rather than a picnic.

"We will plan occasionally," Aaron said, passing a sliced fruit to her.

Since the sun was high, they didn't go around. Aaron leaned on the tree trunk reading a medical book handing a novel to Aarvi who wanted to hit his head with the same book. She would have loved to read crime or thriller novels than romance.

Changing her sitting position a few times, she laid on the ground with the same book under her head. Dumbstruck, Aaron spoke, seeing her watch clouds, "What is so special?"

Aarvi pointed out, "Don't you think clouds set the mood of the sky than the sun? The sun can only set dawn, day, dusk, and darkness whereas cloud defines the sky as bland, happy, stormy, sad, fresh, relaxing."

Aaron hummed as he pulled her closer to lay her head on his lap then covered her slender sexy legs with his jacket to avoid the eyes they were attracting, "So how is the mood of the Sky today?" Receiving no retaliation against his action, he gently started to caress her head.

"Happy! There aren't a lot of clouds and there aren't very less. Speed of the wind is moderate, sky color is cobalt blue so it's happy."

Both continued to talk until she yawned repeatedly and dozed off breathing in the fresh air while his hand kept brushing her head. Aaron had expected her to sleep from a pretty good time so he just smiled and went back to reading his medical book.

---

Secretary Wen who got an off from all the work, stole his wife right after her advertisement shoot and took her out away from the city for little peacefulness but ended up in the mount Cornet. 

His wife saw a girl sleeping on the lap of President Rivas and was excited to see who she was but Secretary Wen held her back, "Esme, I have no mood to work. We hardly get time for each other."

"Honey, he is your boss." Esme is a tall, elegant, and wonderful lady. She is A list artist who won numerous awards for her performance. Her marital status isn't a secret rather it is well known in the country for marrying the childhood sweetheart.

Milo Wen shook his head and dragged her away having no heart to see the expressionless cold gaze of Aaron. Esme urged, "Milo Wen, I want to see the lady boss, Please..."

Milo glanced at her. He knew well she could guess who the lady is but he didn't speak about them. He stated a word coldly, "No." Esme curled her lips down poking her husband all the way to the Cornet waterfalls but it didn't affect her husband.

...

Aarvi woke up when some started enjoying and playing. Her first sight when she opened her eyes was a kite and she blurted out looking at Aaron's tender gaze on her, "I want to fly a kite." But they didn't have one.

Helping her to sit, Aaron messaged the man who was privately protecting them and got to know there are no shops nearby. He was about to inform Aarvi about it but she wasn't sitting next to him anymore.

Looking around he spotted her easily and saw her bring a kite from a boy who was around ten years. Taking from kids is next to impossible and he knew that so he curiously asked walking up to her, "How did you manage?"

Aarvi cheekily replied, "I traded for a kiss."

Aaron: "..." He understood why she kissed that boy's cheek and the reason behind that blushing boy. What could he say for it? Nothing because that boy was a little kid and Aaron is jealous of him.

Flying the kite high, Aarvi was talking with Aaron when the latter noticed Aeon Harmon's dark face and his girlfriend beaming. Aarvi was watching the kite so she had no idea Aeon Harmon was in there.

Aaron tapped her shoulder and heard her hum but not her line of sight so he plainly said, "Aeon Harmon is just a hundred meters away from us."

Her plan was to meet him the next day and Aeon wasn't a problem. The real ominous is his girlfriend Mia Craft, Aarvi's not-so-soon targeted family. Mia isn't only cunning, she reports everything to Leon Harmon.

Aarvi can't let others know she is with Aaron Rivas because that will lead them to attack Rivas Industries which could increase the work on Aaron. The least she wanted was Aaron facing troubles due to her.

She couldn't understand why she always gets caught around the place where she couldn't hide behind anything but reach Aaron's embrace. She doesn't want to run away like a stupid and catch more attention.

She turned around and ordered, "You go and hide." that way she doesn't have to hug him and Aaron doesn't have to face any problems if Mia Craft reports about her or Aaron to father Craft or Leon Harmon.

Aaron brows raised guessing what she was thinking but he had no idea about the Craft family. He pulled her to his embrace and controlled the flying kite. Aaron shamelessly announced, "You can trade a hug to cover you." 

Aarvi giggled accurately guessing as Aaron is jealous when she mentioned about the kiss to kite trade. To make him a little happy, she wrapped her arms around his waist while his one hand lingered on her back and backhead, another hand pulled the string of the kite to control it.

Her finger pressed his chin down to face her and teased, "Mr. Jealousy is adorable!" He buried her face on his chest and heard her chortle again. 'I am not bashful.' He told to himself while his ear tips were red.
