nightcap

— a week later —

as i was engrossed in paperwork, mikasa suddenly appeared in my office, her presence interrupting my concentration. it had been a week since the date with eren, and my mind had been consumed by thoughts of that memorable evening. the thought of him touching me is still on my mind.

"hey there," mikasa greeted, her voice bringing me back to the present moment. "haven't seen you around for a while. what's been going on?"

i glanced up, offering a smile tinged with a hint of distraction. "sorry for being MIA. just catching up on some work," i explained, trying to conceal the underlying thoughts that had occupied my mind lately.

"mikasa, how's the wedding planning going with jean?" i inquired, attempting to steer the conversation away from my thoughts about eren.

she smiled, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "it's a whirlwind, but we're getting there," she replied. "so, tell me about your date with eren. how was it? What do you think about him?"

her curiosity piqued, and despite my attempts to redirect the conversation, mikasa's interest in my date with eren was evident. i hesitated for a moment, contemplating how much to share about the unforgettable evening.

as Mikasa questioned further, i found myself sharing the details of the date with eren—the way the conversation effortlessly flowed, the shared laughter, and the genuine connection we seemed to establish. despite trying to remain composed, i couldn't hide the spark of excitement in my voice as i recounted our interactions and the texts exchanged, each message adding another layer to our growing connection.

"we've been messaging daily, and it feels really natural," i explained, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "there's this unspoken attraction, and we've already planned to go out again."

mikasa leaned in, eager to hear every little detail, and our conversation delved into discussing the upcoming plans. the prospect of another date with eren filled me with both excitement and a touch of nervousness, an enticing mix of emotions that hinted at the potential of something more. as we exchanged thoughts about this budding relationship, mikasa's support and enthusiasm mirrored my own, adding a sense of anticipation to the air.

so, i received a text from eren saying he'd swing by at 7 and suggested checking out that new café on 5th. mikasa saw the message and got pretty hyped about it for me.

"looks like things are going well!" she said with a grin, showing her excitement.

"yeah, hoping for another fun night," i replied, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. "fingers crossed!"

mikasa gave a supportive nod. "have a blast! can't wait to hear about it later," she said, sharing in the anticipation for the night ahead.

her encouragement added a boost to my mood as i eagerly looked forward to the evening with eren.

"hey, just a heads up, i've gotta swing by Eren's to pick up Jean," mikasa mentioned, grabbing her keys.

"jean too? what's the plan?" i asked, a bit surprised.

"we've got this dinner thing lined up together," she explained, throwing a casual smile. "but have fun tonight! i'll catch you up on everything later."

with a quick goodbye, she hurried out, leaving me with a mix of excitement for my own plans and a curious itch about their night out together.

i swapped my outfit to a sleek black jumpsuit, a versatile piece that combined comfort with a touch of sophistication. the jumpsuit boasted a tailored fit, cinched at the waist, enhancing the silhouette effortlessly. pairing it with a stylish pendant necklace and a pair of ankle-strap heels, i aimed for a chic and classy appearance.
