18- Ditched
"And what did you say?" Varys asked gently.
"I.. um. Accepted it?" Hope flinched a little after saying the words. Even though she was not doing anything wrong and definitely was not cheating on anyone, it kind of felt wrong.
Varys, who most of the time remained chill and calm around her suddenly clenched his jaw tight in anger.
"What exactly do you think we are doing with each other, Hope?" He asked in a soft voice that betrayed the hidden anger behind his words.
Hope stared into his eyes with barely contained emotions. She honestly did not know the answer to that. It felt like they were friends, but the closeness behind that friendship screamed more than friends.

The hard way, that is.She had come to stand on the bus stand when her phone chimed with a message. It was from Shawn asking her to be ready by six o'clock in a sophisticated dress as he will be wearing a black tux.Tux? Fancy party it seemed.Sighing, she quickly typed down her address and sent it to Shawn in case she forgot to do so later. In the next five minutes the bus came and climbed in.

And Varys was not supposed to be here!Her heart was beating against her chest like a jackhammer, the sweat making its way down to her temple despite of being in the fully air conditioned hall.When his furious gaze became too harsh for her to bear, and the shock of seeing him here passed, making her realize that it was no dream and she was seeing him in front of her eyes for real, she averted her gaze. And in that exact moment she realized that Shawn's lips were still pressed upon hers.She immediately pulled back, taken aback and surprised. Shawn was smiling down at her as their body still moved to the rhythm but she came to a standstill,"Why did you do that?!" she asked, feeling a strong urge to run away from there but holding her ground."Because I like you!"

His eyes came down to meet hers while her tongue slipped out to lick her lower lip, suddenly feeling parched as hell."Varys," she whispered softly, unable to fathom what to say to him.A moment of realization passed between them, both knew what they wanted, both knew that they had feelings deeper than of friendship between them, but both of them were afraid to voice the words aloud.But then instead of saying anything, both of them leaned towards each other at once, like magnets getting attracted without control.
