75. Keeping it quiet

Celeste opens the door and sees Dumon. 'Come in.' She closes it after him with a smirk. 'Living room...' 

Dumon can see Comet coming with a happy bark. 'Good to see you too.' After petting him, he heads to the living room. 'I know I promised you something,' he shows her the credit card. 

'I remember.' Neith wants her credit card back. 

He keeps the small card behind his back quickly. 'But first,' he continues with a smile. 

Shaking her head, she kisses him. 

Laughing, Dumon gives her the card. 'I told Vector about it, and he promises to pay you back.' 

'I saw that,' sounds Celeste in the background. 

'Oh, you wish you would find someone like me.' Dumon reacts fast. 

Celeste nods. 'Yes, of course.' She comes back with something to drink. 'Seeing you two together makes me realize how it should be.' 

Neith can see that Dumon blushes. 'Hmm, and I thought that it would be a lot harder to make a man like him blush.' 

'I will tell Alito and Girag tomorrow. I only see them at school. Possibly, that they found a job.' He knows that his cheeks burn by the compliment. 

'Yeah, I've heard about it. Does Vector know that you're giving her credit card back?' Celeste asks with a tea glass in her hands. 

He shakes his head. 'I haven't told him that.' 

Neith smirks. 'Well, if he's still trying to find it let him clean your room while he's ad it.' Making all of them laugh. 

'I don't have that long. Vector is out to Yuma, but Mizar does know that I would return your credit card.' He blows the steam off his tea. 

'In that case,' Celeste walks away with her tea. 'I'll give you some time alone. I have the rest of the evening with her.' She disappears into her bedroom. 

Dumon follows her with his eyes. 'She doesn't have to...' 

'No, homework.' Neith interrupts him. 'She studies for a test, and she likes to do that in her room in silence.' 

He can't deny that he likes to be alone with her. 'How was your day at work?' 

She smiles at him. 'Good, some preparations for the tournament for next year.' She feels his arm around her shoulder, and he pulls her closer. Ending in his arms with her back against his chest. 'I saw Hart earlier, and apparently, he told his brother that I'm the one who dumped him.' 

'I'm sure that you gently corrected him.' He knows that about her. 

'I did,' she smiles when she feels his hand playing with her hair. 'Dr. Faker was there too. He took Hart out for lunch, and they know better now.' She turns her head a little. 'How's your day? You succeeded in finding a rug, lights, and curtains?' 

Impulsive, he kisses her forehead. 'We did. I'll ask what Vector wants for his room and get it myself. You could come to that way you'll have your credit card back.' 

'That does prevent him from buying stuff unnecessarily.' She enjoys his soft touch. 'How fast do you have to be back?' 

He sighs. 'Until I finish my tea.' 

'Let it get cold and get another one.' She grins. It's far too cozy in his arms that she doesn't want him to go. 

'I like this too, Neith, but I can't. We're keeping this quiet for now. That's a good thing, Kite still needs to disappear, and I'm trying to get my life in order.' He leans to the table to get his tea. 'I have a place to live, school, hopefully, a part-time job soon. It's good to have a normal life.'
