Scarlett

I sat down on the couch and started thinking. I thought about Onyx. I had never seen him like that before, so sad. I wanted to help him but what could I do? All I did was hug him. Nothing else. But he was so warm. So comfortable.
"Gosh, I wish I could keep hugging him!" I said as I then fell onto the couch at the same time as I took a pillow and started hugging it. It wasn't as warm as him. But, it would do. I started imagining his white and blue hair and his pretty blue eyes, and when he would smile it just kept making me-
"Ughh!"
What am I doing? What am I thinking? And why am I feeling like this? It's not like him! Right?
"Gosh, my head hurts.."
I stood up from the couch and went to my room. It was still messy with boxes and such. But It wasn't like I had the time to clean all this up! I have been busy with work and Onyx. I have barely had time to even clean this mess up. I went to my closet and put on my pajamas and headed over to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. I then went to my bed and laid down. Once I layed down I couldn't help but think about him. I wonder what he is doing right now.
"Seriously. Why do I keep thinking about him? Last time I thought about a guy this way I-I liked him." I was silent for a few seconds before I just realised what I had just said.
"What am I saying?! I can't like him! I just. I can't. Right?"
I was silent for a few more seconds and thought to myself. Do I really like him.? I can't! I mean he is a villain and if people knew I liked him they would judge me. But what if I just don't tell anyone? I mean that could work! As long as I don't tell anyone then no one will be able to judge me or tell me how wrong it is. I mean I know it's wrong but what am I supposed to do? I really like him. And I really wanna be with him. Wait. What am I saying? I just decided I liked him and now I have decided I wanna be together with him? Gosh Scarlett, calm down. I'm probably too tired right now to think straight right now.
I got comfortable in bed and fell asleep.

. . .

The next day I woke up and got ready for the day. I brushed my hair and my teeth and put on my clothes. I exited the apartment and the building and went to my workplace. It still felt like someone was following me. I looked around to see if I could notice anyone looking at me. But I only saw strangers walking by or behind me. So if someone was following me it would be almost impossible to know who with this crowd.
As I arrived at my workplace, I went into the employees only room and put on my apron. I then headed out and started taking people's orders.

After a while, it was time for my break. I went out the backdoor and once I arrived I felt someone looking at me again. I took out my phone and noticed I had 10 missed calls and 26 messages from my dad. Ever since I moved here even after he said he wasn't okay with it. He started blowing up my phone. Telling me how " It's a mistake" and "how I should have stayed there and worked for his company" . I came here to start a life of my own here but I guess my dad just can't accept that.
I scrolled through the messages and read them. Most of them said:

"Scarlett, come home."

"Scarlett you're being very childish!"

"Scarlett, answer the phone! You are being very childish! You should come and work in my company! One day I can hand the company over to you, so stop being so childish and come home!"

I didn't answer and left him on read and went back inside to drink some tea since there was a little while left of it. It stopped feeling like someone was looking at me once I went inside. After I finished my tea I went back outside and continued taking people's orders.

Finally, my shift was over and I could go back to my apartment. It had gotten dark when I came back outside to the busy street. But as I was walking I started to feel like someone was following me again. I looked around but it was almost impossible to tell when the street was full of people.
I finally arrived at my apartment and went inside. I put my stuff on the ground and my coat on the hanger by the door. I then went inside the kitchen to make myself tea before I would go take a nap. While I was making myself tea I heard the balcony door open. I knew immediately who it was.
"I'm in the kitchen!" I yelled. Suddenly Onyx appeared by the door.
"Oh uhm, hi!" He said with a smile on his face to me. My heart started beating fast and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. I could help but smile when he said that.
"Hey, you can sit down over there." I said as I pointed to the dining table. He went over to the table and sat down.
"So how have you been?" I asked as I proceeded to try and make some conversation with him. He smiled a bit nervously at me.
"Oh, uh well. I've been alright. Just the usual, you know. What about you?"
I laughed.
"When are you going to say something other than `Just the usual ́, well anyways I've been good. But just like yesterday I kept feeling like someone was following me."
I could tell Onyx started getting a bit nervous after I said that. But I stayed quiet.
After a few seconds, I finished making my tea and turned to Onyx.
"Would you like me to also make you some tea?" I asked him with a smile. He looked up at me with the same sweet smile.
"I would like that."
I started making his tea and then sat down in front of him and gave him his tea.
We both just sat there and talked about whatever. How it felt like working at the cafe, how he could come up with inventions, basically anything.
Before we knew it we had been talking for hours.
I had to say bye to him that night. After that day we continued to meet and talk. I really enjoyed it and the more I had spent time with him I realized I really liked him. So I decided to confess to him. I really liked him and I wanted to tell him that. So one evening we sat on the rooftop and talked. Until I decided it was time for me to confess.

"Listen there is something I want to tell you!-" We both said at the same time. I was actually pretty shocked and a bit curious about what he was going to say.
"You can go first!" I said.
"Oh uhm alright then. I like you, Scarlett. Like a lot, and I want to be together with you, and perhaps you don't have the same feelings for me but I really like you.-"
As I sat there listening to him confessing his feelings for me my face couldn't help but get red.
"So uhm. What do you think? Do you like me back?" He asked. I just sat there for a few more seconds while looking down. Then I looked back up at him with a smile.
"I.. I really like you too, Onyx." I said to him, my stomach full of butterflies. His face lit up.
"Really? You really like me back?" He said. His reaction was so cute. I nodded my head. His face was still lit up for a few more minutes but after those minutes he got a bit sad.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked him. He looked away from me before speaking.
"You do know that if we are going to have a relationship then we will have to keep it a secret, right?"
He had a point. If people would've found out that me and Onyx had a relationship then they would try and track me down to perhaps get information about Onyx. I can't let that happen to him. So he did have a point. We can't let other people know that we are together.
"Yes, I know."
"Scarlett, perhaps this isn't such a good idea.."
"Listen Onyx, I know it can be dangerous but as long as we really try and keep things hidden between us no one will find out!" I said as I tried reassuring him.
"Maybe, but there is still a chance that they will find out." He said. It looked like he was a bit stressed and I understood why. I mean why wouldn't anyone be stressed by thinking about peoples judgemental faces?
I took his hands in mine and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Listen, we can still try, right?"
He smiled back at me.
"Yeah.. you're right.. We can still try. But if something bad happens to you we are ending it!"
I smiled back at him and nodded my head.
"Okay!"
