Selfless but Secretive: Learning to Love you

When William returned he found Lina stubbornly giving her back to him.


She was adorable, especially in that dress. He could tell that she had purposely tried to look good tonight.


He rubbed her back and whispered, "Lina?"


She to turned to face him and rudely snapped, "Why did you bring me here Will?"


He seemed taken aback with her straight question, "Eh.. to see the fireworks and celebrate the new year?"


"No," she answered, "I mean why did you bring me here, with Julie?"


He sighed, "I told you Lina... I'm tired of always leaving Julie behind and I need your help."


"Right," she nodded with an attitude, "My help...and what is this? What are we doing here?" 


She asked the question and her hands gestured between them. 


"Because I can see that you have other girls to help you in that way! So I'm a bit confused as to why you are holding my hand and calling me your date!" 


He laughed at her angry expression. She was so cute when she got fired up, especially now.
