Florina took a shower after Vincenzo left her apartment. His words were still playing in her mind and it was making her more anxious with time.
Wearing some comfortable clothes she came out of the bathroom. It was already evening and now she was feeling much better.
"How are you feeling now?..."
She flinched at the masculine voice. Her heart almost skipped a beat looking at Sebastian who was sitting on her bed lazily. His coat was lying beside him, he was looking relaxed with his messy hair and folded sleeves.
"B_Better..."
She answered nervously. She could still remember how he tried to burn her with the cigarette.
"Hmm... Good... Come here..."
He ordered and she hesitatingly walked towards him.
Sebastian checked her fever and nodded in approval.
"Are you hungry?..."
She shook her head No. Yes, she was hungry but she didn't wanted to eat with him.
"But I am... Come eat with me..."
He grabbed her hand.
"I don't want to..."
She mumbled.
Sebastian chuckled and cupped her cheeks, caressing it with his rough thumb.
"It's so cute to see that you think you have choice... You are so interesting, butterfly..."
Florina refused to move when he tried to lead her towards the living room. Sebastian turned around and gave her a warning glare which was enough to make her obey. Florina hated it. Hated the fact that they were scaring the shit out of her.
Florina was sitting on the chair looking at Sebastian who was arranging the table for them and was impressed by the choice of food. For a second his gestures fluttered her heart, she would have been so happy if he was doing this for her in another situation and not by threatening her. Vincenzo did the same for her and now Sebastian. Even if they were threatening her, she couldn't deny the fact that they were trying to take care of her too.
Sebastian was done arranging the table and went to throw the boxes in the dustbin where he saw the food he send for Florina in the morning and he was well aware who did that. Florina saw the change of expression and prayed that he won't take it on her.
"I didn't d___"
"Do you want to drink something?..."
He totally ignored her horrified expressions.
"Hmm?..."
She couldn't believe that he was letting it go. He looked quite mad but wasn't showing it. What was stopping him, all the questions were now bothering her.
"Umm... No, water is enough..."
They started eating and all the time she found Sebastian looking at her intently, it was creeping her out. No matter how handsome he was, his stares weren't appealing.
Florina placed her spoon on the empty plate and decided to try and make him understand as she failed to do with Vincenzo.
"Sebastian... I want to talk to you."
"I am listening..."
He leaned back in his chair, crossing his hand over his chest and showcasing his flexed muscles.
"I tried to talk with v_vincenzo but he is not ready to listen anything..."
He kept his face calm and gestured her to continue.
"Whatever you two are doing... I don't think it's necessary. I mean... I mean, we___"
