Chapter 50: I’ll Make Them All Mine!
Just as Mika started to relax, Charlotte stepped back slightly and grabbed onto his right hand with both of hers, pressing her chest against his arm like an affectionate cat.
"Eh? What are you doing now?" Mika asked warily.
Before he could pull away, Yelena’s hands came up too, and she wrapped her fingers firmly around his left hand, mirroring Charlotte’s gesture.
Mika stared at the two of them with a look of utter disbelief.
"Wait a second. Why are you both grabbing me like this? I already agreed to come home with you! I’m not going to run away!"
Yelena smirked. "Oh no, Mika. We’re not taking any chances this time. You’ve slipped through our fingers far too many times."
Charlotte nodded gravely. "You’re like a snake, you know. Always wriggling free. And the only way to catch a snake..." She grinned. "...is to grab both the head and the tail at the same time."
Mika’s expression contorted. "Head and tail?! I’m not some wild animal! Let me go already!"
But they didn’t let up.
"If your fans down there saw you like this, they’d cry blood!" Mika exclaimed, trying to wriggle free.
"Let them cry." Charlotte said bluntly, her grip tightening. "They can all die for all I care."
"Charlotte!" Mika gasped in horror.
