Nilsas POV

(Nilsas Dress)

I jump to my feet and pick up my iPod from the grass.

"We should go"

He smiles and nods "Yeah we need to head back. El should be home soon"

I nod. I felt his eyes on me. On me in a guy way, like staring at my ass or something.

"What?"

"Nothing" he shakes his head.

The sun was setting as we struck out across the field back toward the main road. I jogged down the steep hill ahead of him and again I felt his eyes on me. I ignored my blushing embarrassment and twisted to look at him over my shoulder. I swayed my hips at him as I slowed at the bottom of the hill. "Hey. I know you were staring at me" I said in a low voice when he approached.

"No I wasn't." He was fighting a grin, but his cheeks were pink, giving away his lie.

"Yes you were. You were staring at my ass."

"I—" He ducked his head and rubbed the back of his neck, then looked back up at me, grinning lopsidedly. "You know what, yeah, fine. I was. Okay? I was staring at your ass. Is that a problem for you?"

I shrugged. "I didn't say I had a problem with it." I wasn't about to admit that I liked it.

We walked side by side in silence after that, a little awkward, a little hesitant. Jin broke the silence finally

"I'm going to head home. That run was fun"

"Yeah. Thanks for coming along.... I guess"

"No problem, see you"

"NILSA.... WHERE ARE YOU?" Ellie screams as she comes into the apartment.

"WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?"

"I DONT KNOW"

I let out a laugh as she comes into the kitchen. Ellie sets her handbag by the door.  "Do you have work tonight? if not, I need you to go to a dinner with Seokjin"

"What, why me?"

"He needs someone to go with him. I cant, I have meetings tonight?"

I smile. "I dont have anything to wear to a fancy function like that"

She brushes me off with a wave of her hand. "You can wear something of mine. I'm sure we can make do"

"As long as he doesnt care what I look like" I joke

She giggles "Nilsa, honey, I am sure my boyfriend wouldnt give you a second thought"

I roll my eyes. She obviously didnt know what her boyfriend was actually like. I smile sweetly at her, "Well, in that case I'd be happy to"

She smiles. "Thank you doll"

Jin's POV

As I wait for Nilsa to come out of her bedroom, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. I shouldn't be looking forward to spending the evening with her as much as I am. Yet here I am and there's just no denying it. "Hey Jin?" she calls

I can see her bedroom door from where I'm standing in the living room. It's cracked just enough for me to hear her, but not see her.

"Yes?"

"Promise me that if I'll embarrass you in this dress, you'll just go without me. It won't hurt my feelings. I swear."

"Oh wise up. I am sure you look--"

"Promise me right now or I'm not coming out at all."

She's stubborn? Huh. I wouldn't have guessed that. But actually, I kind of like it.

I laugh. "Okay, fine. I promise that if I think you'll embarrass me, I'll go without you."

The door closes and then there's a long pause before it swings all the way open. What I see takes my breath away. Oh holy fuck.... She looks amazing. Its Ellie's dress and I am sorry to say she looks better in it than El did. She stands still and lets me appraise her before she starts toward me. I clench my jaw to keep my mouth from dropping open as I watch her. The wispy cloth clings to her body as she walks, outlining her form perfectly. She might as well be nude.

"Well?" she asks

"You look beautiful." My voice sounds strained, even to my own ears.

Her face falls. "It's too tight, isn't it? I'm wearing taller heels to make the length right, but there's nothing I can do about the rest." I can see that she's genuinely distressed, which makes me want to smile, although I don't. That would be the wrong thing to do in front of an upset woman.

I reach out and take her hand, pressing the forefinger of my free hand to her lips. "Shhh." She stops talking immediately. Yes, I could've shut her up a hundred different ways without touching her, but I figure this is better than kissing her, which is what I really want to do, I want another repeat of yesterday.

She smiles. "You look amazing. Believe me. I'll be the envy of every guy in the whole damn place." I smile to further make my point.

Although her brow doesn't smooth entirely, I know she's feeling better when she grabs my wrist and pulls my hand away. I can see the slight curve of her lips where she's holding in a smile.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really really?"

"Really really. Just remember, tonight you're mine."

It worries how much I like the sound of that, the thought of that. "Ok" she whispers.

"Lets get out of here" I smile

"So how are you getting on in work. Ellie tells me you have become the new general?"

I nod. "Yeah. I'm the new General?"

"Have you earned enough stripes for it?"

We stroll leisurely to my car. "Depends on how you think someone earns their stripes." Two little dimples pop out on either side of her mouth where she's trying to control her smile.

"Oh, I guess the same way most guys earn their stripes," she says, swinging the red purse attached to her wrist, trying to act nonchalant.

"Baby, if that's your definition, I'd be a four-star General."

She bursts into laughter. I can tell she wasn't expecting me to say that. But I'm so glad I did. Hearing her laugh is like listening to the best kind of symphony.

I'm a little disappointed when we reach the car. I could really just walk and talk and tease her all night long.
