Volatile Shadow

9. At your place.

SERAPH POV:

It doesn't seem like there was anything else to do than just wait for tomorrow right now.

Tomorrow...

It'll be a big event, that's for sure...

I gaze at the setting sun, lowering itself into the horizon. Its orange-red light shining through the windows of my apartment.

I see the tall buildings of the city of Angel Gate; all reflecting the light of the setting sun.
Its fading light showing the captivating beauty of this place. It's one of the many reasons people come here.

The search for something beautiful...

The buzz from my phone yanks me out of my thoughts.

I grab my phone laying on the coffee table, wanting to see the name of the sender.

C: it's me.

...It's Cassandra.

S: Hey. You alright?

C: Alright as I can be...

If I could see her now, she'd probably be sighing; feeling stressed out by all of this.

After what happened today, I wouldn't blame her feeling like that.

S: Wanna talk about it, About what happened today, I mean?

Today was the first time I've actually seen Davian and Cassandra interact with each other.

It was... an interesting experience to say the least.

If she wants to vent out her frustrations to me, I wouldn't mi-

C: No.

Oh. Ok, then.

S: So, it there something else on your mind?

C: After what happened today, I'm looking for a distraction.

S: A distraction?

It been 2 minutes now.

...Did she just ignore me?

S: Can I come over to your place?

"What!?"

I nearly fall off the armrest of my leather sofa. Quickly catching myself before hitting the floor.

Did I read that right?

Half a minute later, another text.

C: I mean, if you're OK with that?
C: You're OK with that?
C: Right?

C: I mean, if you're not busy right now. Would be that be alright with you?

She basically asked if I'm okay a total of four times...

Is she that worried I'll say no?

S: Do you even know where I live?

Cassandra doesn't work for the V.P.A, she works for the family's real estate agency. She wouldn't know my exact location unless-

C: Father gave your address.

"Okay..." I guess I could've seen that coming.

I'm a Lieutenant now, the same rank as Cassandra. It would make sense for us to have areas for us to privately converse.
