`How was your day, Astrid?', he held her hands and eyes her lips, licking his lips hungrily.
Astrid nervously chewed her bottom lips, and told him she quit her work, citing last term of her school.
`Why work and quit less than a month'?, Ace eyed her suspiciously.
`Enlil, he says I need to build up my stamina and fighting skills', she accidently told him the truth.
`Astrid, are you hiding something from me? You don't need to fight. Just stay with me-'
`Ace, with due respect, you've yet to confirm our relationship, meeting in places like this and your work, my safety, I thought you said you wanted discretion?' Astrid was confused with the direction of their relationship.
`This damn heart is adamant to lock you up and keep you for my eyes only.' Ace kissed her palm lovingly.
`Don't stress over it, I prefer going at a slower pace, at least I get to know you better', she pinched his cheek.
