We walk into a secluded restaurant. And when I say secluded, I mean there was no one else there, besides the people who worked there. Even they looked a bit understaffed tonight. I glance over at Sampo with a confuzzled expression. “Why are we the only customers here?”
“Hehe..I might have booked the entire place for tonight. I figured you wouldn’t like a crowded place for our evening,” Sampo replies, like it wasn’t a big deal. I am at a loss for words. “U mean u reserved the whole place…FOR FREAKING ONE NIGHT??” I shout.
“This isn’t the reaction I expected out of u, Gepard. Where’s my thank u?” I face palm. In secret, my internal honest reaction is me screaming in a pillow for HAVING THIS MAN GO THROUGH THAT TROUBLE FOR ME!!! Still, it must all be a cover, after all. Yeah, it must be a façade. Inside surely is a cynical scammer who creates distrust. That’s why it’s hard to just give in to whatever he says.
“..Thank you.”
“Gimme a smile.”
“Don’t push it, Koski.”
Suddenly, Sampo grabs for my cheek, and I freeze, not moving my hand to slap his away. It’s almost like my heart is letting him in. Maybe for one night I should…just to see what happens. If he proves himself untrustworthy, we will never do this again. And everything will go back to normal.
Sampo caresses my cheek slowly, as if examining it like a relic (HSR UNIVERSE REFERENCE LOL).
I try to stay as nonchalant as possible, but obviously, Sampo makes a lot of things difficult. I feel a blush creeping up on my face. Instead of suppressing it, I let it pass. What’s the worst that could happen, my conscience tells me. If this night backfires I’m blaming Serval.
Sampo gasps. Did he feel the heat from my face rise?? There’s no way…
My eyes dart in all directions, and I slowly make them face Sampo directly. And I’m unbelievably shocked when I see…
SAMPO HAS OTHER HAND ON MY OTHER CHEEK NOW, AND SAMPO IS LOOKING AT ME LIKE IM THE CUTEST LITTLE THING IN THE WORLD!? AND HES BLUSHING TOO!?
Part of me laughs. At least I was able to make him fluster as well. The redness on his face is very cute. I want to make him blush more…see that other side of Sampo Koski.
“Uhm, I hate to intrude on..whatever sexual ritual ur doing, but would u please pick a seat so we can serve u and leave??” A waiter says rudely.
“WE’RE NOT DOING ANYTHING SEXUAL-“
Sampo points to a table. “Ahem we’ll take that one, please.” Sampos blush disappears, which is disappointing. I am glad to have his soft hands off of my cheeks. I seriously thought I was gonna have to run out of the restaurant from embarrassment.
