"Thank you. I had a lovely time." She smiled again before heading to the study, knocking on the door.

Chris got up from where he was sitting, then opened the door. "L-Lily..! Are you and Mother all done..?"

She nodded. "Yes. I think it's time for me to go home, now."

His face fell slightly. "O-oh, alright.. let me grab my keys, and I'll drive you home."

She tilted her head. "Why do you look so disappointed?"

He blushed and started to protest softly, "I-I'm not... I mean... I just... I'd hoped to spend a bit more time with you..."

Lily thought for a moment before smiling softly. "Alright, I'll stay if you give me a tour of your home."

He grinned and looked to her hopefully. "A-alright... where would you like to start..?"

She grinned. "Let's start with your favorite place in the whole house."

He took her hand gently and led her down the hallway to a room full of books. "I guess... that'd be here."

"The library?" She looked to him. "I didn't take you for a reader."

He chuckled softly. "It's more just that it's a very peaceful place..."

"Ah, I see." She looked around happily, still smiling. "You know, your home has a much better vibe to it. It's nice."

"I've only been here for an evening and I already feel more welcomed. Not even Olivia threw it off for me."

"Yeah... sorry about her..... she, uh... she really liked the last girl I was seeing, but... things didn't end well, and...."

"It's okay." She said, turning to look at the books again. She felt her heart drop every time his past girlfriends were brought up. It happened with his other and now it happened again.,

He fidgeted uncomfortably, noticing Lily's change in demeanor. "U-um... is.... is there something else you'd like to..."

She shrugged. "I'll leave it up to you. I am only a guest, after all."

He looked down and murmured, "A-are you mad at me....?"

Post by HerWhisperIsTheLucifer on Mar 27, 2018 3:12:32 GMT -5
"M-Mad?" She looked back at him and frowned. "No... I'm just... I don't know. I know I can't change the past now and you can't help it, but I feel uncomfortable that you have so much more dating experience than me."

"Your mother told me you have a reputation as a playboy... I'm trying not to let it bother me, but..." She looked away.

His face turned bright red and he fell silent, unable to say anything. She was right, after all... and now that it mattered, all that 'fun' just wasn't worth this.

"I'm going to try to ignore it, okay? I like you and I want this to work, but I will have my insecure days because of this..."

He nodded hesitantly. "....I wish... I could take it all back...... I don't want to make you feel this way....."

"You did what you did and it can't be helped. Instead of wishing to fix the past, focus on making this relationship work." She smiled softly. "Okay?"

He nodded earnestly, still so upset that he was afraid to make eye contact. He never thought he would feel this sense of... shame. He was just doing what was normal, right? What was expected. But... Lily expected more from him. So he had to be more for her. It was as simple as that.

She smiled again. "Good. That means a lot to me." She hugged him tight suddenly, grinning softly.

He immediately hugged her back, holding her tightly to try and stop himself from trembling.
