C7 We have a lot to talk about

Ever since Flora and Damien became Nora’s friends, life has surprisingly been great for Nora and she couldn’t help but be thankful to the both of them. Though her relationship with Damien isn’t that great yet, it was much more better than it was before, and her relationship with Flora on the other hand was going so well. She was always accompanying her everywhere she went and never left her side not even for a second, she always goes to her room in the morning to go and pick her up for breakfast and for the first time in the orphanage, Nora the witch had breakfast with all the kids around.

She couldn’t lie, in the beginning she was so scared because most of them kept whispering and pointing at her and some even had the audacity to come up to their table and try to bully her but thankfully, both Flora and Damien were there to protect her and she couldn’t help but be emotional. With teary eyes she held Flora’s hands and looked at Damien warmly.

“You guys don’t have to do all this honestly am used to having my breakfast after they all have and now look am not even letting either of you have breakfast peacefully. You guys have your breakfast, am gonna go out for some fresh air.” I said grabbing a piece of bread and getting up to leave when I saw Damien from the corner of my eyes staring at me with the I know where your going type of look and l couldn’t help but stare at him with the don’t you dare follow me type of look.

“No Nora if your leaving then l will too besides am not hungry either let’s eat when they are all gone hmm?” I looked at Flora holding my hands with a worried expression on her face and l couldn’t help but warm up to her. I was about to reply back to her when Damien beat me to it.

“Don’t worry about her Flora, I too was about to leave so you just stay and enjoy your breakfast and l will accompany this little friend of ours so don’t worry and just enjoy.” I don’t know why but every time Damien tries to take care of me or give me company so that l don’t feel lonely my heart can’t take it and starts beating so fast. I kept wondering if that means am warming up to him or starting to have feelings towards him but regardless I don’t want to not yet and definitely not him.

I saw Flora looking at Damien blushing and smiling back at him. Ever since that time in the dinning hall, the three of us got close, Damien and Flora’s relationship got better and most of the times I caught them talking and joking around and I can’t help but sigh in relief because in the beginning Damien was so harsh towards Flora until l nicely asked him to stop, surprisingly he agreed.

“Okay then take care of her Damien don’t disturb her do you hear me.” She smiled looking at me. “Hey she’s my friend too of course I will take care of her.” He held my hand and said his fair wells without looking back at Flora and walked out.

I didn’t say anything the whole time we got out cause for some reason I was panicking looking at our connected hands, we kinda looked intimate and I …… hmmm I liked it.

I saw him leading me towards the forest and l couldn’t help but smile in my heart. “He knew where l wanted to go.” I felt butterflies in my tummy, at that exact moment I saw Damien turn his head and look at me. He didn’t say anything but just lowered his head and kissed our connected hands and smile at me sweetly.

My heart started pounding like it’s gonna explode. My legs felt like jelly, l couldn’t walk and just stopped on my tracks looking at him while trying to hide my blushing face.

Damien smiled looking at her reaction. “Hmm Nora? Never been held gently and kissed before?” He said while cupping my face and looking in my eyes.

He has changed a lot. Now his more gently and easy to approach, he has become patient with her and caring too. Will it be his fault or hers if she ends up falling for him.

“I know your trying to get used to the new me but trust me Nora, my every action is sincere and I mean it when I say I really care about you. And also want to be close to you.” He said holding my hand tight and staring at me lovingly. I mean I really wanted to get to know you from the very first time l saw you but l guess my approach was inappropriate and I was harsh and stubborn but all that was because I wanted you to stay close to me.”

“But you were stubborn, you rose this urge in me to want to tame you down.” He smiled pulling me while we continued walking. “But later on I realized I couldn’t so I chose a easier approach, and that is to be friends.”

I was shocked to hear that he did all that just to keep me close to him. I blushed when l saw him peck my hands.

“We have a lot to talk about Nora.”
