We all finish eating and I see Ethan and Carter walking out the front door together,
Guess they had a fun time.
Louise winks at me as he also watches them leave the restaurant still giggling. It was weird to see a tough guy act like such a gentleman.
I bet...you and boss get together before these two though.
Louise looks at me with a sly smirk.
W..what..do you mean??
I ask him still flustered.
Oh don't play dumb. We all see how boss treats you. He's never that caring with anyone else. He definitely likes you and I'm getting the feeling you like him too!
I'm getting redder by the second as he continues.
N..no it don't think that's true...
I manage to stutter although my tone makes it hard for anyone to believe. Louise chuckles and pats my shoulder.
Of course it isn't.
He gives me a slight smirk before walking out of the restaurant leaving me alone and red.
(I can't have him like me...I mean..
My stomach does turn each time he's around but that doesn't mean I like him! I can't fall in love! He'll kill Orion if I do...I can't...I have to avoid Sebastian from now on as much as possible...it's too risky right now...)
I head back to the mansion, my mind still racing. And just as I enter back in the office Wing I come face to face with Sebastian.
(Fuck.. just the person I wanted to avoid...this place is so big how does he find me?!)
Ah Liam there you are.
He walks towards me with a smile that made my stomach do a backflip.
There's this report I need you to complete. You can do it in the office if you-
No I'll do it here!
I cut him office frantically as I snatch the paper out of his hand and sprint back to my desk trying to get away as fast as possible, my mission just got a whole lot more difficult.
SEBASTIAN'S POV
I see him sprint back to his desk, odd cause he's usually calm and collected but something feels weird right now...(Is he trying to avoid me...? No why would he do that...) I push these thoughts back and return back to my work trying to distract myself from what just happened, his flushed face..( gosh I need better self control!...)
A bit of time passes and it's now the evening. I go upto his desk,
Liam did you finish what I assigned?
I see him jolt up from his seat, probably startled,
Oh um yes I did!
He hands me those paper back with the completed work.
Would you like to have dinner?
I ask him, making use of my chance,
D..dinner..?
I see a look of panic on his face as he tries to find the right words,
I..I..have a report to finish! I.. should probably go!
i watch as he picks up his things and is about to leave in a hurry when I grab his arm instinctively,
Is there something wrong?
I ask him genuinely concerned.
N..No no no I'm fine! It's nothing!
I see him stutter but I'm still not convinced. I place my hand on his forehead,
Hmm..you don't have a fever..
I can feel him immediately tense up under my touch and I slowly remove my hand,
You seem to be fine...
I say in a low voice,
Y..yes yes I'm fine...
He stutters out.
I take his arm again,
So you'll have no problem joining me for dinner then.
I saw as I guide him to the dinning hall, still feeling the resistance in his arm. We both enter the dining hall and sit down as the maids bring us food, they think I don't notice their expressions, I mean this is the first time I brought someone to eat with me...I don't blame them for looking surprised...I'm surprised too by my actions, why am I so attached to him... something is off about him I can't pinpoint it...he looks at me with a confused expression.
W..why did you want to eat with me..?
He says looking confused,
Can I not?
I try to sound cool, but deep down my stomach was making all sorts of sounds.
N..no that's not what I meant I...
I cut him off,
Relax, I just want to know you better.
