Take Me By The Hand

Recap :

Jeremy went out with Elucia to the city to help her pick out a phone for her. Despite the body guards lurking from the shadows, Jeremy and Elucia managed to have a good day.

Jeremy took Elucia to her first ever fastfood experience and ate burger with fries for the very first time in her life, she was happy and grateful.

When their day ended, Jeremy walked Elucia back to her chauffer who was waiting with a stretched limo.

As soon as they bade goodbye Momo came out of nowhere and startled Jeremy.

Story Goes On ...

Momo's face was just a few inches away from him and he was forced to take a step back. Jeremy was clearly surprised and it was evident in his demeanor and his flustered face. He tried hard to get his composure back and with the attempt, he tried to ask Momo.

"W-w-what are you doing here?"

He managed to finish his sentence without biting his tongue.

"Heeeeehhhhhhh. What am I doing here huh? What about you? Are you alone?"

Momo asked Jeremy although it was more than a question, it was obvious with her smirk and the tone of her voice that she was just confirming something. Jeremy caught wind of it and just decided that it's just better to just come clean to not add fuel to the fire of misunderstanding.

"I am now. I was with Elucia earlier, she asked me to help her pick a phone. I can't believe that she didn't own a phone before today."

Momo took a moment to take in Jeremy's answer and then clicked her tongue at him. She felt a bit conflicted with how Jeremy handled the question, she's a bit glad since he was honest with his answer but she's a little bit annoyed since he was too honest. She was not expecting that he would just answer the question straight up.

"Tch. You're no fun. Why did you answer it so honestly and with such a boring answer? Where's the mystery? Where's the controversy? I just hope your lips are not that loose when it comes to my secret. I can't have you sharing with anybody what I do."

"What? No. Of course not. That's my thing to tell."

Jeremy managed to say that with a straight face although he had to look away with his face as red as the tomato ketchup he was using as a dip earlier. Well, he thinks that it was possible for anyone to cut him some slack because it's no easy way for a teenager to hide his arousal when thoughts of a naked lady get inside their brain.

Momo looked him in the eyes as she squinted a bit.

"Hmmm. Alright then."

She said as she turned around and started to walk away. And it's as if his feet have their minds of their own and they started moving behind Momo. He walked behind her.

They walked along the streets and turned into an alleyway. The street was filled with small shops specializing in hobbies. Toys, figurines, action figures, and even cosplay stuff.

Momo took a turn and went inside a shop.

Jeremy followed her but he stopped when he saw the sign out front. He saw what kind of shop it was. It was a specialty shop that sells costumes and some adult stuff.

He hesitated and he was stone-cold outside. Momo then peeked in the doorway.

"Are you coming in or not?"

What? Me? Come inside? Are you insane? Well, of course, I'm curious enough to look around but, what would the other people think? Will the store owner kick me out? What's gonna happen to me?

Jeremy's mind was filled with such thoughts. He was lost in indecision. There's a huge part of him that wants to go inside but then there's this innocent little boy that was scared to death.

And that moment of indecisiveness was ended in an instant.

Momo took Jeremy by the hand and together they went inside another world, at least for him.

Haloa!!

How have you been? If my hope can affect you in any way, I hope that you are also SO fine with this very nice day.

I decided to put a bit of a recap for this episode to aid some in catching up. I think I will be doing so moving forward.

I also thought of putting up the links for the previous episodes but opted not to because I think that it would be so long after a few weeks. What do you think?

Anyhow, let me say that I am grateful to you for being here. I cherish the time you are always spending with me and with that ...

Cheers!!!
