Octavius

"I don't want to need no one." ~ Jorja Smith

Procel's POV

I was wiping off the counter when the door chimed. I glanced up and saw the mystery man coming up to me with a smile. I huffed and stood straight. "How may I help you today sir?" I asked with a tight smile. "I think we got off on the wrong foot. I'd like to start over if that's ok with you." He said while leaning against the counter. "That's fine with me," I said while shrugging, he smirked at me and grabbed my hand. "My name is Octavius and I'd like to take you out sometime." He said before placing a kiss on my hand, my cheeks burned.

Visions of his life flashed through my mind, they were full of hurt, sadness, and bloodshed. I could feel my eyes changing from vibrant violet to a dull blue. Confusion flashed across his face. "Are you ok? Your eyes, they changed colors and you look pale." Octavius said frantically. I shook my head as my emotions got the best of me. "I'm fine, I just need to rest." I walked to a table and sat down, Octavius took the seat across from me. "Are you sure?" I looked at him only to find him looking at me with concern.

No one ever cared about me like this, besides my mom. Warmth engulfed me as my heart began to beat faster. Maybe he was different from him. I thought to myself. "Yeah I'm fine, I promise," I reassured him with a smile, he gripped my hand a little tighter and my heart fluttered. "So how about we get to know each other over coffee tomorrow?" He asked with a smirk. I giggled as I tucked a piece of stray hair behind my ear.

"Sure handsome, why not? I have to get back to work now." I said as I began to get up. Octavius grabbed me and stuck a piece of paper in my hand. "Call me if you need anything beautiful. Fino alla prossima volta principessa." He then turned and left. I gripped my heart that felt like it was trying to find it's way out of my chest. I couldn't help but feel like I made the best decision of my life today.
