She froze. She stared at him with wide eyes and raised eyebrows.
“Can you repeat what you said? I seem to have misheard you..”
“I said, what if I get a place of our own?”
She gasped. “So I heard it right.. Wait.. what? Why?”
He rubbed her thumb. “I want to take you to work, and pick you up after. I want to spend more time with you..”
She was shell-shocked. ‘Isn’t it too fast? Wait, is it? I know we’ve known each other for a long time and I do want to spend more time with him. But is it really okay? It’s not even a week since we became a couple.’
He didn’t hear any word from her after that.
At a red light, he took the opportunity to look at her.
He felt guilty for springing up such a proposal on her. He only wanted to be with her.
“Rowena, I didn’t mean to rush you or anything. I only wanted to spend more time with you…”
“I know that..” She smiled faintly.
“How about this, can I pick you up and take you to work?”
It was either that or to live with him.
