Snowbound - Coriolanus Snow

Four

We got on the train at noon. I took a seat by myself, I needed to finish up on some schoolwork. I love trains, it's so calming. I could really focus on what I was doing and got done way faster than I usually do. I felt satisfied with myself for once.

I leaned back and listened to my music, watching the landscapes on the other side of the window. Then my peace was disturbed by no other than dr. Gaul. She seemed upset "This is not a vacation Maeve, you know what I need you to do", oh she meant Snow, she wanted me to start right now. I guess I hadn't really thought about that. "Sorry I didn't think now was a good time" I said to excuse myself. "There's no time like the present, he's sitting alone just like you. Get over there".

Why was I nervous, although I was way more intrigued. I went up to him and tried to sit down as casually as I could. "What have I done to deserve the pleasure of your company" he jokes, his charming wits makes people so enthralled by him. And I get it. I find myself drowning into him sometimes when speaking with him, but if Gaul fears him, he must be an impeccable performer. "You looked lonely" I said. "Well In that case I'm so glad you came to my rescue", he stated sarcastically.

We locked eyes for a moment, his eyes were so captivating. "So you aspire to be a game maker I assume?" I say to rid the silence. "To some extent" he said, what did he mean by that?. "To some extent?", "Yes, I do not see myself as game maker long term as my final destination". "So what is your final destination?" I ask. "Well that's for the future to reveal", the way he said it was kind of hesitant, like he had more he could say but withheld it. "I suppose that's true" I didn't want to upset him. I needed to get to know him.

I crossed my legs in my seat toward him so I could face him better, and I accidentally brushed his leg with my own as I was doing so, but only for a short moment. That short touch yet it somehow felt longer than it was. I looked at him and he just looked down at his leg for a second and then back at me. Seemingly nonchalantly.

"You know I'm doing this assignment here to get to know more about game making" I started. "I'm aware" he responded. "I was going to ask if you could tell me more about why you lean towards this profession. Since you are the best of the students here, I thought you would be the best to ask" I said the last bit to feed his ego but also as explanation to why I chose to speak to him specifically. "I guess so, when would that be?" He asked. "Tomorrow maybe?" I said. "Well during this time I'm occupied most of the day but  after dinner I'm free. Or tonight even?" He replied. Tonight, he wanted to see me tonight, not tomorrow but tonight. I don't know why that danced through my mind so much but it did. "Sounds good to me, also thank you for helping me" I said.

Then the train reached its destination, "no problem" he said as we stood up to walk out from the train.

Now we're getting somewhere I don't want to jump into the hot stuff, I feel like we need some build up. Then all will come, and I will put ** at the chapters with smut in them.

Ty for reading means a lot!
