Sebastian:
While walking back to her quarters, I held her hand. She had again worn the mask on her face and was now quiet. Tonight I felt like I had accomplished a lot more than I had planned.
It was not friendship but trust. She was stiff initially, but after that, she let it go and chatted. She even told me about that fu*cking doctor, but whatever holds value in her life should be important for me too.
"What are you thinking?" Her question pulled me back to the present.
"You!" I said suddenly, and she chuckled as if not expecting that at all.
"What are you thinking about me?"
I chewed my inner lip before answering, "What else might it be, except…" I left it there for her to guess.
Just an hour ago, she was pissed at me for bringing lust to our conversation, and now she was at least smiling.
The most beautiful part of tonight's date was the kiss. I never planned to kiss her or even touch her.
The date was to build her trust in me.
