The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter Twenty-two

Elena’s pov

My bad, I made a mistake.

Mac was incredibly skilled at the game, making it nearly impossible to fail.

It annoyed me that he was so good at everything and the way my heart fluttered excited when he knocked off every soldier from the stand made me realize he was also good at the whole Playboy thing.

I watched him excitedly as he knocked off the soldiers and when the last one fell, I scoffed in shock and he turned to me. He blew the tip of his gun as if it was smoking hot from shooting at the fake soldiers.

“What are you saying about not winning again?” He asked and I rolled my eyes, unable to hide the smile that filled my face when he dusted off his jacket arrogantly.

“Oh shut up, it’s beginner’s luck,” I said, turning away from him as he laughed and placed the gun in my hand.

“OK then. Try it and let’s see if beginner’s luck applies to you,” He said before handing the woman another cash as the soldiers came back up.

This should be easy just shoot those bastards down!

I smirked at Mac who was staring at me. “If I win, you leave me alone forever.”

“That’s impossible but ok,” He said as he stepped back, giving me space to play and I turned to the tiny soldiers on the rack that had started moving to the right.

I aimed for one of the soldiers, pulled the trigger and the fake bullet left the gun in a speed bit. Instead of knocking off the soldier I had aimed for, it knocked over a bottle of water on the stand too.

Mac erupted in a fit of laughter from behind me and my cheeks flushed in embarrassment at losing my first round.

“Beginners luck missed you just as you missed the soldier,” He laughed behind me and I turned to him angrily.

“Oh shut up. Don’t you know according to statistics most people are likely to fail on their first try,” I said defiantly Mac covered his mouth with his hand and I scoffed, turning away from him and aiming for another soldier.

I missed again and this time I stumped my foot on the ground angrily. How could I have missed that too?

“I aimed properly!” I yelled, and Mac laughed from behind me again, louder this time, and even the owner laughed too, covering her mouth behind her hand as if to hide it from me.

“What’s funny?” I asked Mac who laughed the most, slapping his hand against his thigh. I rolled my eyes angrily and turned to the soldiers again.

As I raised my gun and aimed for the soldiers once more I felt Mac step behind me before I could pull the trigger.

“You can’t win this way,” He said from behind me and I felt all the hair on my back stand. He was way too close and I could feel his breath against my neck.

“Huh?” I managed to squeak and he laughed softly before reaching for the gun in my hand, placing his fingers against mine.

My heart thumped loudly in my chest as he neared closer and brought his face very close to mine, almost closing the tiny gap between us.

“You look through this hole, so you see the soldier through it,” Mac said. He pulled the gun closer to my face and it took everything in me to look through the hole, adjusting the gun so I could see the soldier through it.

“And then when your eyes are on the target…” Mac said, stepping closer to me so I could feel his chest against my back.

“… you pull the trigger, ” He said as he pushed my finger releasing the trigger and the bullet sped through the empty air and knocked over one of the soldiers.

I gasped in shock as I jumped in the air in victory, turning to Mac who smiled at me and pulled him into a hug. A sudden wave of warmth filled me as victory rushed through my veins and I smiled like an idiot.

It wasn’t when Mac kissed my ears did I realized what I had done and I stepped back immediately as if I had been burnt by fire and my cheeks flamed red.

I reached for my ear and wiped it off as if cleaning off every trace of Mac’s kiss on it and he chuckled at my horrified face.

“Why did you do that?” I asked, punching him on the shoulder as he staggered backward, laughing at the top of his lungs.

“I wanted to,” He finally said when he stopped laughing. He smirked at me and I eyed him, looking away from him. I could imagine how red my cheeks were and I knew Mac had seen it before I could even hide it.

Gosh. He was so annoying.

I raised my gun and started to aim at the soldiers as I imagined them to be Mac who was still chuckling softly behind me and telling me it was our little secret.

“Fuck you, Lee,” I said out loud.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Oh, so you know my last name. I knew you were making research about me,” He said cockily and I rolled my eyes, pulling the trigger and missing the soldier.

Apparently, the fact that Mac was that close to me had made my hands a little shaky as I couldn’t make them stay still.

My mind had also wandered, replying to the kiss over and over in my head and making me blush all over again.

In the end, I didn’t hit any soldier once more and the woman had ended the round. I failed and Mac laughed behind me, raising a brow at me as if wanting to say ”I told you so”

I scoffed, dropping the gun as the woman went to the glass and pulled out the black and white panda for Mac.

“Whatever. You could pass the history test tomorrow anyway,” I said, trying to encourage myself when I knew deep inside my ego was hurt for having Mac beat me in the shooting game.

Mac smiled at me before handing the panda to me, I turned away and started to walk down the road towards the cotton candy.

“I told you I didn’t want it,” I said and Mac hurried after me, pulling me to face him.

“I know. But I won it for you, so take it and think of me when you stare at it,” He said, placing the panda in my hand and walking ahead.

I stared after him and then at the panda in my hands. He was cute and had a wide smile. I pulled it closer to my chest and smiled before looking back at Mac.

As I rushed to catch up with him, I silently expressed my gratitude and followed him to the cotton candy stand.
