Nervous and Restless

Samantha was taken aback by what he just said. That was totally unexpected and the thought of it made her think twice.

"What? Your date?" She stared into his eyes and saw how serious he was. She couldn't tell if this condition was going to be okay. "Only your date, right? I mean… just a companion for that event? Nothing more?"

Putting his hands in his pocket, Gael chuckled upon seeing the expression on her face, she looked like she was not totally against it and was still obviously hesitant. Tilting his head, he had a smug look on his face, "Were you expecting more?" He bent forward until his face was less than a foot away from hers. "I mean… I don't mind if you want us to try dating."

Her brows immediately furrowed as she took a step back by instinct, "Don't be ridiculous."

He shrugged as he stood straight and gazed back at her seriously. "It will be for one night only and just as my companion."
