Episode 43

Laura's point of view

“The restroom is at the second on the left of the hallway ma'am.”, the waitress directed me as I excused myself after Mr Sebastian released me from his hold.

I barged into the restroom feeling hot as his touch and breath had inflamed me. My heart was beating wildly in my chest and my eardrums hammered in my ears. I rushed to the wash basin, opened the tap and washed my face with cold water that gushed from it. I then stared at myself in the mirror and saw that my whole face and neck were flushed, I sighed closing my eyes. What was wrong with me? Why was I behaving this way? I thought as I breathed heavily with my mouth open.

I touched my neck as what happened back there flashed through my mind and I shut my eyes tightly. I could still feel his hands on my waist and I touched the area softly, grazing my fingers over it. I then remembered Emily's words, “he is in love with you.”Her voice resonated in my head as I recalled the look I saw in his eyes as he held me.
