Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 34 Poppi, Kiss Me.

Poppi took out a deck of playing cards and sat on the floor with her legs crossed and they circled around the floor, with the rules of shuffling. The old lady was quite a veteran. The conversation with her was quite clear and easy.Malcolm was also get it quickly.

"We need to make a deal in advance. What we win will be awarded and what we lose will be punished," The old lady continued as she drew the cards.

"Draw a turtle on your face!" Poppi touched the card of K and said with a smile, "when we were playing cards in the dormitory, we could even draw my face black."

"Change it to another one." Malcolm immediately refused. Draw a turtle on one's face? Only those childish people would draw a turtle on the face. As expected, only Poppi could come up with such an idea.

"Yes, change it!" The old lady looked very angry. "Young girls nowadays don't know how to take care of their bodies. Why do they draw a turtle on their face? How can you come up with such an idea? Who as a woman, you should be elegant and behave yourself! "

Poppi stuck out her tongue and said, "yes, grandma. I'll keep that in mind. I'll learn the 'how to draw a girl's attention'. I want to be an elegant woman, okay? " She then made a gesture.

"I don't think so." The old lady lowered her head and reached for another card. "Good card!"

Poppi's eyebrows twitched and the corners of her mouth twitched, then she took her hand back and asked, "what are our rewards and punishments? Ah Or we can make money. " "That's a good idea. I'll get more motivation," she cheered up

"It's not funny." The old lady shook her head, "we are a family. What's the meaning of earning money? What do you think, Malcolm?"

"Grandma is right." While the old lady was looking at the cards, Malcolm whispered to Poppi, "leave it to grandma later."

"Of course I know," Poppi blinked and replied

"Really?" She came up with an idea and said, "in my opinion, the loser needs to kiss the winner."

Malcolm's face darkened. If he lost and Poppi won, would he kiss her? no way!

Poppi stole a glance at Malcolm, but she still pretended to be relaxed and said, "grandma, this is more boring than winning money. We are family. What's the point of kissing? "

"I also want to see the way you kiss!" The old lady looked at them up and down with her sharp eyes. After she took the last card, she said, "you have been married for three years, but I only saw two marriage certificates without a wedding photo, you don't even have a kid yet.. You didn't make out with each other in front of me. I just want to see you kissing. "

Hearing this, Poppi was speechless. Then, she gave a glance to Malcolm, with the meaning of "what to do".

"What's more, Malcolm, if you want to prove that nothing happened last night, do as what I said." The old lady ordered in a strong voice, "it's not the end of the problem last night!"

"Grandma, I think what Poppi just said is actually a good idea." "It's funny to draw a turtle on the face," said Malcolm seriously

When he just finished, Poppi burst into laughter. The old lady pouted and looked at them with a sly expression, "what? What are you two have deceived me? Such a simple request is perfunctory. "

"No, grandma, you are thinking too much." Then he said, "that's it. But grandma, you can't be rascal if you lose."

"I've lived my whole life. How can you be so shameless?" The old lady raised her head proudly. "I'm the landlord. Let me play first. A pair of three! "

When the old lady showed her cards, Malcolm and Poppi happened to look at each other. Malcolm opened his mouth slightly and mouthed a word "win". Poppi understood him and nodded. She looked at her cards and said, "I have it! One pair of four! "

"Two seven." Then he got two cards silently.

"I lost..."

In the first round, the old lady lost, holding Malcolm and Poppi, she kissed them for two times; in the second round, the old lady still lost, and she won't win in the third round, the fourth round In the face of mutual interest, the tacit understanding between Poppi and Malcolm reached the highest level since the beginning of history. With only a glance, they knew what cards they have in hand of each other.And they was going to use to beat the old lady down.

"No, no, no!" After she finished fumbling for the cards, the old lady covered her head with her hand and frowned. "Little Turtle became the landlord just now. Malcolm and I won the game. But the little turtle only kissed me, but Malcolm."

"Uh..." Poppi bit her lips and said, "grandma, I forgot just now. It's all over. Let's start from this one."

Granny held the cards, shook her head and said, "your memory is not as good as mine. It's not right. Malcolm didn't kiss you even though he lost the game just now. Are you two conspired to fool me? Or did he really do something wrong last night? "

"No, No. grandma, you are thinking too much. We have explained everything just now, haven't we? " Poppi shook her hands immediately, "if he dare to do anything to him, I will be the first one to fight with him!"

"Then you kiss him, let him kiss you." The old lady placed the cards in front of them, and looked at the two people in front of her calmly. The more she thought about it, the more strange she said, "kiss him quickly, don't fool me."

Cora stood behind the old lady silently with her legs open and hands behind. She was expressionless, but when she heard the old lady's words, her lips moved uncontrollably and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Poppi looked at Malcolm helplessly as if seeking help from him, who felt being cornered.

"Come on! Kiss her! Cough..." She was so anxious that she coughed.

"Grandma!" When she was about to push him away, the old lady waved her hand and said, "kiss, kiss, quickly!" It seemed that he wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted. Such a powerful man!

Seeing this, the old lady got worried. She asked again, "what are you two really hiding from me?"

"No, we didn't." Malcolm shook his head and said to Poppi, "kiss me, Poppi."

"Hiss..." Poppi suddenly widened her eyes and stepped back, "kiss, kiss you?" It's ridiculous!

"Aren't you always so active?" Malcolm asked in reply.

"I didn't take the initiative!" Poppi refuted with her face red, then she raised her neck and said as if she was going to die, "if you want to kiss, you kiss me!"

The old lady looked at the two people as if she was watching a drama. She smiled so happily that her eyes narrowed and the wrinkles on her face were deeper. "either of you can do it!"

"I don't kiss him, okay?" Poppi puckered her mouth and complained to her grandma.

"Of course not."

Poppi took back her sight, but still looked at him unconsciously. After pausing for a second, Malcolm leaned forward slightly and leaned his face towards Poppi. Poppi was shocked and moved back instinctively. But before she could do that, Malcolm grabbed her arms quickly.

"Why not?" Malcolm's eyes grew dark and complicated.

On the other hand, Poppi could not see what Malcolm really meant in his eyes. She only felt her heartbeat accelerating and her blood circulation accelerating. 'It's all his nonsense! if she doesn't duck, she will be kissed by him directly! 'He will kiss her? She had thought that Mr. Malcolm, a man of self- restraint, wouldn't kiss her. But now it seemed that things had gone a little beyond her expectations?

Then he came closer to Poppii and said in a low and sexy voice, "I just had a cup of coffee with that woman last night. Do you believe me?"

His eyes were so serious and his tone was so sincere. For a moment, Poppi thought that Malcolm was really explaining to her. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"I, I believe you." Poppi screamed out and couldn't move her eyes away from Malcolm.

Malcolm suddenly smiled. In an instant, his angular features seemed to be covered with a soft light.

His burning breath slapped on the face of Poppi, who was fixed and forgot to move.

Getting closer to Poppi slowly, Malcolm held her waist with his right hand, almost touching her face. He could smell the light but unknown scent on her body. He could feel the fine hair on her face and the faint and rapid heartbeat in her chest.

He didn't know his heart was beating faster.

What happened last night was replayed on the Internet by Poppi and Malcolm, but the old lady enjoyed it very much.

"Poppi, are you afraid?" The whispering voice from Malcolm which made her ears red and shyness, Poppi stiffened and grabbed the cloth on Malcolm's chest, "Malcolm..."

After that, she felt a chill on her face and held her hand tightly. As Malcolm kissed her on the cheek, his voice was so gentle that it could barely be heard. "Thank you for your cooperation."

After that, Malcolm quickly left the side of Poppi and withdrew his body at once.

"Grandma, are you satisfied with the result?" Then he sat straight again without any expression on his cool face.

"Not satisfied." The old lady pouted. "In fact you should kiss her lips, but you just kiss her face. I didn't feel comfortable for your cheating. How about you try it again? Let's switch the little turtles kiss you. "

"Poppi, will you agree it?" he asked with raised corners of her mouth.

Hearing what Malcolm said, Poppii was still in a daze. She screamed in surprise and came to her senses immediately. However, her face turned red and her eyes dodged. She managed to get up with her hands holding on the ground, stumbled to the kitchen and said, "I... I'm going to drink some water..."

"The little turtle are shy." The old lady compressed her lips into a smile and gave him a cunning look, "you are shy, too."

"I am not!" Edward looked at the cards in his hand, not looking at the old lady.

"Your ears are red." Her grandma said as if she saw through everything, "if you feel shy, your ears will be red."

Hearing this, Malcolm felt a little relieved. He turned his head to look at the back of Poppi, who was in the kitchen now. Her smile was like a feather caressing his heart.

In the kitchen, Poppi kept patting her face to calm down but the kiss on her face seemed to be burning. She wondered what good luck she had recently! The luck is she will fall in love with someone?
