Words alone cannot express how eager I was, I lost my appetite in one go after hearing what Mr. Belios said to me, I can't believe it, to think he'd go to that extent.

Helio looked at me with worry, standing from his desk to meet me on the bed. He rested his head on my lap and wrapped his hand around my waist, it was a body language I had gotten used to, and I was very aware of the meaning already as I stretched my hand towards him and stroked his hair only for Helio to sink even deeper into my thigh.
"Is something bothering you Becca?" He asked. "You've been spacing out all day."
"Yes, I just had something on my mind, but don't worry about it anymore, I'm okay," I assured him.
