As you washed, she dried, and eventually, you guys were able to enjoy y'all meal on the couch.

You had plopped down on the couch and Sevika followed. You noticed how close she sat next to you which made your heart do flips. It was silly how this action could make you flustered but not her having sex with you or having you pinned on the wall in the break room.

But those moments felt different. Those were both instances where lust was in the forefront. This was warm and fuzzy. It felt like a nap in the car with the windows cracked and the sun feeling like a shower over your body. Or hot cocoa in the midst of snow mixed with comforting memories as you're trapped in a home that feels bright. It was new, something to adjust to, but it made butterflies form in your stomach and the sense of belonging overcome you as you wanted to be even closer to her. To explore this feeling more.

You turned on your computer and put on a mindless show as you both ate. It was silent despite the background noise of the show, but it was comforting.

Eventually, you came in second with finishing your plate, and laid your plate on top of hers. You looked up and met her eyes. She already had eyes on you. You both stared at each other longingly. You had questioned if she felt similarly, but it became clear that these feelings seemed mutual. You already missed each other and you both didn't want to let go. You wanted her to stay. But the hint of conflict outlined the reflection from the window in her iris.

Outside called to her. Her job or belief called to her. You could tell. You turned around and looked back at the source of light coming from your balcony window she uncovered.

What did this exactly mean for you guys? It's nothing serious at the moment, but you hoped that maybe it could be. She made you feel different compared to others, and deep down, you felt that maybe you made her feel the same way.

Her fingers underneath your chin brought you back to the couch. She made you settle back into her eyes, completely facing her. She leaned in and kissed you, but it was gentle. You took it in. Your hand landed on her thigh for support as you leaned in more. This only made her deepen this soft kiss. She pulled back making you sigh. She smirked at your loss of contact. It was silent between you two again.

"You bout to leave?" You finally mustered up.

Sevika slouched back. "Yeah, I gotta talk with my boss."

You nodded, obviously discontent. "Well I hope your meeting goes well. Thanks for spending time with me." As you stood up, she pulled you back down.

"Um.. what gives?" You looked at her with your eyebrow raised.

Sevika chuckled. "I can stay here a little longer.. I would like to if you don't mind. I'm tired from this mornin.. and you know..", a sultry gaze covers her eyes. ".. last night."

You didn't realize how nervous she could make you feel, but Sevika knew all too well. You guessed her "effect" truly did work.

"I was supposed to have the rest of the day off, so he can wait. Just lay with me right now."

It's like you melted to her words or turned to jello. Her voice always made you fold, but her request is something you've been wanting for a while. She made you feel more at home than you have at your home since you started renting. Her leaving took away all the comfort and warmth she provided. Your apartment wouldn't be the same without her. Or maybe you wouldn't be the same.

There is no denying you had feelings for Sevika, and you still questioned if this would last, but at this moment, all you could do was enjoy what was in front of you.

"Okay." You responded, a small smile on your lips. She caressed your lips which deepened your smile.

Sevika's smirk felt more like a content grin.

You kissed her again and she pulled you closer to her.

After a little make out session, she ended up on top of you, but her head laid on your chests and your legs wrapped around her strong back as her arms were wrapped around your waist.

You could hear her light snores as you played with her hair and gave her little massages. You felt yourself dozing off with your silly grin plastered on your face.

This felt so nice. So warm. So endearing. You never thought Sevika to be like this, but you felt special knowing she was comfortable to be like this with you.

You hoped that she would be able to rest more with you. For you to be her safe space because she has become that for you.

Her phone buzzed, breaking you from your thoughts. You ignored it, but it only buzzed again. And then more times.

You finally picked it up and looked at the messages.

S: You wanting to play hero for your little gf is causing complications with our plans.

S: I'm very disappointed, this isn't like you.

S: If she's going to be a distraction, then I'll gladly remove her from our shop... especially since she has a connection with our main target.

S: Respond when you're done with your plaything and meet me at the bar.

You began to feel the fears you felt before creep up. What did this mean? Are they talking about Kane? What did he have to do with what they're doing? Does being a target relate to being killed? So many questions, and no balls to really ask. You don't think Sevika would lie or be upset, but you feared that with you being fully aware, you were now accepting a reality into your life that you weren't ready for.

A danger you're unable to handle. There is a reason why your father is no longer in your life. Why your mom tried so hard to keep you away from here. From people like Sevika.

You turned her phone off and placed it where she had left it.

Somehow, you're now in the middle of something you avoided and you don't even understand what that is.

You feel like you constantly contradict yourself. If you did what momma said, then you wouldn't be in this position at all. You would be "safe"... but you wouldn't be you. No matter what, you couldn't see that being your life or where you lived or the people you hang with. Maybe that's you being ungrateful of your privilege or maybe it's you staying true to yourself.

You didn't know anymore. Maybe you were just overthinking like you normally did, but now.. there is a possibility that you could lose a job that has became something more for you... and with how Sevika is... you could lose her too.

You looked down at the sleeping Sevika. She seemed so calm. Her tense demeanor nowhere to be seen. You smiled, but it saddened as you played with your thoughts.

You decided to ignore what you saw and let this moment last. Maybe it could be discussed later, but for now, you wanted to hold onto this peace that could soon be lost.

(Sorry abt the delay pooks! Life is life and #1 procrastinator :P)
