He didnt know how to describe it to her. "I...the people." Humans precisely.
She couldn't really say she understood him, but she at least had an inkling why. "It might not be that bad." Even she is the same. She didn't like big gatherings. Especially if it was filled with upper class family.
"Did you pick a dress?" She gave him a weird look and he quickly looks away. "I...maybe...I should design one." He pulls open a drawer and brings out paper and pencil.
"You have that in the kitchen?"
"I have it everywhere." As a designer, he would never know when the inspiration might come to him, so he keeps drawing pads and pencils around the house. At least everywhere he could think of.
Ana quickly moves her hand forward and places it on the drawing pad. "I will just pick a dress..you dont have to design a dress for me."
Ethans face was looking at the drawing pad. Her hand precisely. It looked so small, he felt like if he ever had the chance to touch it, he would have to be extremely careful so he wouldn't break her hands. "You have very tiny hands."
Ana retracts her hand and awkwardly laughs."I have been told all my body parts are tiny. As you can see I am not that fleshy." She stares at her finger and avoided looking at him. She should not have said that last part. She was reminded of the letters in her new desk at home and she felt excited to go to them and read. Who knows what Dmitri would write next?
The food arrived ten minutes later and as usual Ethan ate in silence. She guessed he wasnt the type who liked to talk very much while eating. After they were done eating, he hurriedly clears the table not leaving her anything to do.
Ana attempts to take off the hoodie but he quickly stops her.
"You can keep it." He tells her, his voice barely audible.
Ans stares at the sleeve of the hoodie and didnt know what to say. Before she could refuse, Ethan had already walked past her and towards the door.
"You can go home. I will see you tomorrow."
She checks her phone for the time. There was still a solid hour left before work ends and he was already sending her home. Could she have done something wrong? When?
Seeing that she wasnt saying a thing, he pressed the button on the elevator and walks in. Ana carries her feet and stands next to him.
"Are you going somewhere?"
"I want to see you off." He honestly says. Although he could not stand sending her away, he could at least look at her for some time. If he let his mind take control, he would have loved to keep her with him and wake up to her face every morning. To worship her gorgeous body and let his fingers get accustomed to every ridge and curve. Every flaw and perfections of her body. He wears a faint smile at the imagination that it might happen some day.
The walk to the main gate was quiet. Eerie almost. She wonders if his body is now calm but dare not ask.
She paused when she reaches the gate and the security guards salute her and Ethan.
"Boss, thank you for the hoodie."
Ethan nods his head and watched as the guard opens the small gate for her to leave. He takes another step towards her and asks. "You live adjacent?" Ana positively responds. "Do...do you..do you want me to walk you home?"
She quickly shakes her head and smiles at him. "I wouldn't dare trouble you so much. See you tomorrow."
Watching her retreating back, he gave a glance the guard and takes a step backward. His expression stoic and cold.
One of the guards quickly tell him. "The madam is a little shy when she talks to you."
The other guard looked at him like he was crazy for saying such things until Ethan opens his mouth and said. "You think so? Maybe she doesn't like me."
"Boss, how can anyone not like you? The madam will open up slowly the more she gets to know you. Women like to be treated delicately and nicely."
He touches his lip and turns around. "Delicate? Nice?" He would have to level up his game. At least today she had accepted his hoodie. Should he give her a gift the following day? If he is more nice o her, maybe she would think more of him. He smiles to himslef as he teleports back into the house. It was only a matter of time.
Anas breathing was heavy when she got to her apartment and she struggles with the door knob once again. Locking the door behind her, she takes off the hoodie and throws it on the chair before landing on the bed. The spring being the sound she so much likes. Staring at the ceiling, she thought of Ethan and his kindness. His nice manners and shy personality.
How can a demon be that kind? If he were not her boss, and not a demon, she would have definitely made a move on him. Even if it were to just sleep with him. She really wanted to see a different side of him.
She sits up on her bed and stares at the drawers of the table. For someone who hasnt been with a woman in so long, it would be difficult to trick him to her bed. She extends her hand and pulls out the drawer. Bringing out the stack of letter, she removes another and returns the rest.
"Time to read you Dmitri." Se eyes the letter in her hands and pulls her leg to herself, resting her head against the wall. The envelope was a quality paper with a somewhat pinkish embroidery on it. She remove the letter in it and sniffs the paper. As expected, another scented paper. Just seeing the embroidery on the paper made her heart skip beats for no reason.
She wondered if his words will strike her heart cords and make her pick her pen again. w
