I quickly make may way to the front door, I need to get out of here.
I can't believe I did that.

What was I thinking! Why did I do that? why would I do that???
Why did I leave?
...

Should I go back?

I turn on my heels and look back towards his office, and my face grows red.
I feel bad for running out on him but, I just,
can't ... deal with all that right now.

I'm the one who kissed him, yet here I am,
I'm the one who's embarrassed by it...
Well, I'm not sure if you can consider it a 'real kiss', I still had my bag on after all...

'real kiss' or not, It still happened. I kissed him.
And I ran away...
A wave of guilt washes over me.

If I don't go back now it'll only be more and more awkward as time passes, I have to go back!

I take a few hurried steps towards his office, but I'm interrupted by the chimes of the door bell, stopping me in my tracks.

White hat's here already...I take a long look at black hats office doors.
I shake the thoughts from my mind, No.
I should go.

I take one last conflicted glance at black hats office, then turn to leave for the front door.
I shoo the hat bot away from the door and open it.

and unsurprisingly, he sent his chauffeur over.
Although I could understand him not showing up in person,
If someone were to see the 'head of the hero's organization' causally strolling into black hat's head quarters,
people would have questions.

"Same place as last time?" I ask disinterested.
He nods, and without a word he moves to the side, allowing me to pass through.

I get in the car without much thought, I'm too afraid to look back at the manor as I leave.
If I catch a glimpse of black hat,
I know I wont be able to leave without feeling worse than I already do.

I silently sit alone in the backseat during the long, uneventful car ride.
I look out of the window and try to ignore the thoughts gnawing at my brain,
and I notice the terrain looks a bit different during the day, Or maybe we're taking a different route entirely?

And as we come to a stop, I can't help but feel a twinge of confusion.
The ride was shorter then it was last time...
I look out the window and my fears are confirmed.
I don't recognize where I am.

The car door swings open, and the chauffer holds it open for me.
I give him a suspicious glance as I get out.

I step onto a gravel path, and look around to see where I've ended up.
We appear to be in the countryside, There's nothing to look at except fields, and a small disserted looking café.
This was NOT the same restaurant I was taken to before.

I look at the chauffer with disappointment.
"You told me we were going to the same place as last time."

"Sorry for the misinformation sir, but I was given explicated orders to not let you know the location of this meeting, for security reasons." He says apologetically

I suddenly get a bad feeling, Maybe, I should've brought demencia along...

"Master White hat will meet you inside shortly." the chauffer says while gesturing to the café.

"He's not here yet?" I say concerned, He looks hesitant to answer.
"He'll be here shortly." He reiterates.

"Great." I say annoyed.
The chauffer nods at me nervously and gets back into his car.

"Wait, Where are you going?" I yell out to him, but I get no answer.
and I watch helplessly as his car pulls out of the driveway and down the gravel road.
How are they expecting me to get home?
