My Little Human Goddess

Chapter 7- I Like Him

Kamiko POV

Two weeks later

It has been two weeks since Sebastian and I decided to be friends and text each other. At first it was platonic but then Sebastian started to flirt, and I was surprised to find myself flirting back.

I felt a bit embarrassed when I woke up in his arms, but it was one of the best sleeps I have ever had. And I do not know what happened but since then, when I close my eyes, I do not experience the attack again.

I also get the feeling that I am being watched, but when I mentioned this to Brenda and Jeff they brushed it off, but there was something in their responses that I cannot shake. When I asked Sebastian he looked a little shocked and guilty but quickly masked his emotions and told me he didn’t think I was.

I don’t whether I am going insane lately or not, but I wonder if the feeling of being watched is a side effect of the attack? Maybe I am just thinking I am being watched because I am still scared? That makes sense, it makes more sense than someone is watching me 24/7. Thinking about it, watching me all of the time would even make sense, after all there is nothing special about me.

I spent last week with Brenda a lot, both of us going shopping and just spending time getting to know each other. I get the feeling that we are going to be really close friends soon. Towards the end of the week, we were talking at a café and she asked me about Sebastian, without even thinking I has replied instantly.

“I hope to see him again soon, maybe even get to spend time with him rather then just in passing.” I had replied to her question, turning beetroot red once I realised what I had said.

The next day Sebastian texted me, asking if we could meet up and have a coffee together. The delight in my heart was overwhelming that I had to spend a few moments just calming down. I spent the next hour or so ransacking my wardrobe for something sophisticated but also sexy as I wanted to grab his attention.

Turns out I had managed just that as since then I have seen Sebastian every single day, and I know it sounds selfish, but I couldn’t be happier. Even when we just caught up in passing as he was busy with work, the fact that he would take even a few minutes out of his schedule to spend them with me and grab a drink or something means the world to me.

Then this week I have managed to see Sebastian every day, and I love it, but I do get the impression that there is a lot of work being missed by him. I have taken less hours this week, and as he works full time managing a large group of people, I feel that I am taking too much of his time.

But I also can’t bring myself to stop seeing him as the feeling of safety and warmth when I am near him feels like a drug, all I want to do is spend all of my time with him, even when I am sleeping, I dream of him. I do not know why, but I just feel so safe and as if I am home when he is near.

Today we are sitting at mine watching a nice film, I do not even know what it is as I am more focused on Sebastian sitting so close next to me rather than what is on TV.

“Are you sure you can spend time with me?” I ask him, the first thing that pops into my mind. Well done i***t, that sounds as if you want rid of him, I think to myself, mentally rolling my eyes.

“Yes.” Sebastian says, smiling at me.

“But I feel like I am taking you away from your job.” I say.

“I have chosen to spend time with you, I am sure the business will not stop functioning without me.” He jokes, but something in his eyes tells me that he is not as carefree about this decision as he is letting on.

I sigh, and we both fall back into a comfortable silence.

When we are almost at the end of the film, Sebastian pauses the film and turns to me.

“Wouldyouliketogoonadatewithme?” Sebastian speaks his question so fast I cannot make heads or tails of it.

I tilt my head to the side and look at him confused, “What?” I ask.

Sebastian takes a deep breath, “Would you like to go on a date with me?”

It takes a moment of silence before the words sink into my brain. Sebastian shifts from foot to foot while awaiting my answer.

I look at him and a smile spreads across my face.

“I would love to.” I say.

“Sweet. I will pick you up tomorrow around noon, I have a great idea for our first date.” He says, hugging my tightly.

First date? So, there will be more?

I smile at Sebastian, excited for our first date and hopefully many more.
