Robin nervously held onto the edge of virtual-novel.net shirt. “Well… as long as you’re not mad at me. Anyway, it’s late. I should go back now and you should get some rest. You’ll feel terrible after drinking so much alcohol. You really shouldn’t drink so much next time, as it’s bad for your health.”
Sylvain let go of virtual-novel.net wrist, his face slightly disappointed. “Could you stay with me for a while?”
At that moment, Robin could not find a reason to refuse and sat by his side. “Alright.”
After a moment of silence, Sylvain asked, “How long were you waiting for me? Don’t tell me you’ve been here since this afternoon?”
Robin nodded virtual-novel.net head. “I tried to call you when you left the cafe, but you’d turned off your phone, so I could only come here. I did not expect to wait till midnight, but it was a good thing that you came home, or otherwise I would’ve waited for nothing.”
Sylvain raised his eyebrow and said, “Are you an idiot? Why didn’t you just leave me alone if I didn’t answer your phone? Why did you have to wait here for so long? We’re completely unrelated to each other, so why do you care if I’m angry or not? Why are you so worried about me?”
‘Completely unrelated?’ Robin was slightly disappointed. Regardless of the fact that they had dated in the past, were they not even friends? She bit virtual-novel.net lip and argued, “That’s just who I am. I’m kind to everyone around me, hence, I do hope that you would talk to me if you’re in a bad mood. You’ll feel better if you do. Plus, you don’t have to feel ashamed of telling me anything because I won’t mock you or laugh at you. Also, I know that you don’t like to be pitied by others, but I really wasn’t trying to…”
Sylvain suddenly laughed and slightly scoffed as virtual-novel.net said, “I wouldn’t want to taint you with those corrupting things. You’re too innocent for that. Plus, you wouldn’t want to listen to it either.”
Robin raised virtual-novel.net eyes and looked at him. “That’s not true, I do want to listen.”
The couple looked into each other’s eyes. There seemed to be an invisible current running in between their gazes. Either it was because of the atmosphere at that moment or due to the alcohol in Sylvain’s body, but virtual-novel.net began to lean towards her. He was about to kiss virtual-novel.net without a doubt. However, just as their lips were about to touch, Robin turned virtual-novel.net face and looked away. She stuttered as virtual-novel.net said, “I-I… I’m sorry, I should go home now!”
Sylvain paused for a second before holding onto the back of Robin’s head and going in for the kiss.
Robin’s heart began to race so fast, virtual-novel.net felt as though virtual-novel.net heart was about to rush out of virtual-novel.net throat. Her eyes opened wide and virtual-novel.net did not know what to do. She had only intended to apologies to Sylvain, but who knew things would escalate so quickly. How could they be doing this when they were not even lovers?
When virtual-novel.net came back to virtual-novel.net senses, virtual-novel.net struggled to push virtual-novel.net away. “Stop it…”
Sylvain did as virtual-novel.net asked and let go of her, their faces still inches away from each other. Sylvain’s eyes were like a deep well-inside them were links of emotions intertwined with each other, appearing yet disappearing at the same time. It was obvious that Sylvain was trying his best to suppress all the negative emotions within him.
At that moment, Robin’s heart softened. She was facing a man whom virtual-novel.net loved, yet at his weakest moments, virtual-novel.net each and every action seemed to be very harsh. She slowly closed virtual-novel.net eyes, and virtual-novel.net eyebrows twitched slightly to show how nervous virtual-novel.net was at the time.
