POV:
Charlotte
Oh my gods did she just call me beautiful? If anything she is the beautiful ones; I like a young teenager while standing next to her. Why is she so amazing? Okay focus Charlotte focus, complement her back.
" Nym, if anything you're more...." I take a step but trip over a wheel. *slips and begins to fall* she quickly grabs me in an almost cradle like position.
*crash* one of the racks fell down. "Beautiful." I finally got to finish my sentence. My face flushed bright red from embarrassment. Darn it, why do I always have to embarrass myself in front of her?
"Are you okay Charlotte?" She says my name effortlessly, like I weighed less then air. Her hair brushed up against my face. What is this fragrance? It's so earthy and dark, I really like it I thought. What no stop don't think like that.
POV:
Nym
I hope she is okay. Her face keeps contorting, I wonder what she is thinking about with that cute blush. I carefully help her into a standing position. She whimpers in pain and shifts her weight onto her left foot.
"Hey you don't look alright" I say concerned. "Did you sprain your ankle I ask. She nods her head
"Okay come on." I motion her towards my back, "Hop on" I lower myself down a little bit. She seems hesitant.
"It's alright I promise." I say gently, " This is the best option, and I will not let you walk on that ankle." I said in a authoritative manner. She complied and slowly gets onto my back. She wraps her dainty arms around my neck, and wraps her legs around my waist. I can feel her sacred marshmallows slowly push into my back. She really is light, maybe I should cook healthy meals for her. I mean after all she is fun to hang out with and she is different from the others that I've met.
I walk to the counter and pay for her shirt and necklace. " Hey, you don't have to do that." She said quickly.
"Take it as compensation for cooking dinner for me.; it was very delicious." I replied sweetly.
"Then please let me cook for you again!" she says quickly.
"I will take you up on that offer." I said with a smile, " but I cannot be there next week. I have some work to do."
"Where do you work?" She asks.
"I work at the Lilith company." I said calmly.( Lilith company is just a cover up business)
"The Lilith company?!? As in one of the largest companies in Europe?" She squeaked.
"Yes, the one and only." I replied.
We continue on our way and Charlotte buries her face in my neck, softly breathing. I should probably get her some ice. I walked up to a mini restaurant and asked the employee for a bag of ice. "Hey would you like some ice cream?" I asked.
"If you don't mind; mint chocolate chip, please." She looks away embarrassed.
Her favorite is the same as..... no I can't at least not right now. My eyes slowly grew darker.
"Can I also get a mint chocolate chip and a coffee flavored ice cream?"
After a few minutes we receive the ice pack and the ice cream. I make my way over to one of the mint colored booth, and gently set her down.
"Thank you." She say quietly and quickly looks away.
