Love at First Hiss

The moment the guard let go, the black snake shot up from my wrist at lightning speed and wrapped around me tightly.The floating comments popped up again.[Miles isn't even worried about scaring Olivia, huh?][You can't blame him. Ten guards chased him halfway across the complex and hit him with their batons. Even a handsome snake-man would lose his fight after that.][Yeah, getting hit more than ten times is harsh. If Miles weren't ridiculously lucky, Olivia would already be moving on to someone else.]At the same time, the guard said, "Miss, you're free to keep pets, but you can't let a snake that big just wander around. You're gonna scare somebody. If I hadn't suddenly remembered seeing this snake sunbathing by your window earlier, we would've killed your pet and made a pair of boots out of it."As soon as the black snake heard that, it shuddered and dove straight down my collar.[Whoa, not fair! I want Miles's point of view!][Me too!][Talk about turning disaster into a

[Miles is upset when Olivia doesn't let him look, but he can't bring himself to watch when she's giving him what he wants.][Why does the snake look like it just overheated?][Is Miles seriously about to explode from holding it in?]The moment that comment popped up, the snake crawled onto the bathroom sink and turned on the water for itself.It soaked in the basin, basically turning into a water snake. It even let out a soft hiss.I tossed my worn clothes onto the sink, covering the black snake so it couldn't peek.The black snake seemed upset and wriggled its way out.I was lathering up and, out of habit, turned to check what was going on at the sink.Next thing I knew, the snake froze, then it thumped and passed out. Its head smacked against the sink with a clear crack.[Who would believe this? Miles got so excited from a full, unrestricted view of his girlfriend that he passed out!][That sounded like it hurt. Do you think he scrambled his brain?][Even if he did, it wou

Roger hunched his shoulders, held up both hands, then pointed at me.The black snake turned around, and when it saw me, its expression softened instantly.The next second, it dove straight up under the hem of my shirt and wrapped around me tightly. Not even the tip of its tail showed.Roger couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from twitching as he said, "See, Ms. Dittman? This clearly isn't the snake we're looking for. But thank you for coming all this way. I'll have a driver take you home."Outwardly, Roger insisted it wasn't theirs, but before I left, he shoved a book thicker than a phone book into my hands, titled "The Complete Guide to Raising Snakes".He warned me again and again, "Ms. Dittman, all living things have spirits. If you're keeping a snake as a pet, you need to treat it well. You should be gentle, loyal…"The black snake in my arms nodded along, letting out little hissing sounds of agreement.I asked Roger, "Do you want it? I'll give it to you for free."Roge

[Oh, poor Miles!][This is like Mike Tyson going up against Iron Man.][This is brutal. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the guy.]The security guard shoved the completely defeated black snake into my arms."Miss, you seem kind and well-mannered. I'm actually looking for a potential daughter-in-law. You interested?"Then, he pulled out a photo of his son.He was one of those famous rich heirs, just as well-known as Miles. Dexter Ball, Miles's sworn enemy.The guard continued enthusiastically, "My son's six-one, has abs, and is good-looking. He also owns cars and houses. And if you're worried about in-law problems, my wife and I don't mind dying first…"Who even says that?Damn it. I was actually tempted for a second.The black snake forced its head up. When it spotted Dexter's photo, it rolled its eyes dramatically and promptly passed out again.I took the security guard's business card and brought the black snake home.I slept soundly through the night.When sunl

"Public nudity would get you arrested," Orson snapped."Bah, you're just jealous," Jeffrey bit back."I'm just well-versed in the law.""Then I'd go make videos and bless the internet.""That'll get you arrested, too."Their whispers only grew louder. Miles must've heard every single word.As soon as the kiss ended, I watched Miles, whose face was redder than an overripe tomato, flee in embarrassment.The chat absolutely lost its mind.[What is wrong with this author? I was eating and just sprayed food everywhere!][Author, please show mercy. Your male lead looks like he just mentally flatlined.][This has to be the world's first male lead who would die by embarrassment!][Public nudity? These cousins are on another level.]Right now, I understood exactly what Miles felt. As my cousins were sprinting away, laughing so hard that they could barely stand, I genuinely wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole.-Miles and I got back together.On day one, he moved in
