It's almost the end of this semester and finally it's ending smoothly. I and Eric both are peacefully working on our comic writing without arguments and flirtings. Since that day he never tried to get closer to me, never asked me to stay late to complete the work and did less flirting and less teasing even though as per him, his revenge is still there which he said he will take but later, as there's a long time left till my graduation. To be honest this man is insane.
Today we'll be completing the story and will have a brief review over it. The only work left is ours, Mine and Eric's. Does this mean... He and I have to work alone. Ahhhhhhhh!!!...

I'm on my way to his painthouse. I've reached and went in and sit on the couch.

"Alessia? You know it's only going to be us today right?" Eric said.

"Yeah! I know"

"So are you fine with it? I mean if you feel uncomfortable or something so we can go somewhere else too."

"No, it's fine. I don't think anywhere else would be convenient for us to work."

"Ok! As long as you're comfortable." He smiled at me. He literally smiled and it's not any kind of flirtious smile but an honest and clear smile. Why does he looks good while smiling sincerely. Get a grip he's your enemy ALESSIA. I got out of my thoughts

"Yeah I'm. let's start the work"

"Hmm!"

.....

It's 8 at night and we're still together here. The sunset looked so beautiful from his painthouse so I've wasted some time in watching and taking pictures of it as i wasn't staying late here from past few weeks.

"It's late already, don't you wanna go home Alessia?"

"Yeah i have to but First we need to complete this."

"Are you fine staying here late?"

"Yeah I'm fine Eric. Does my presence affecting you in... some way?"

"No it's not! I'm just making sure You're comfortable enough."

"I am Eric. I am. Please don't ask me this question again and again"

"Okay got it!"

"Do you want a coffee?" He asked after seeing me sighting.

"No, I don't like coffee."

"Oh, okay. So what do you like?"

"Tea and only Tea. My first love."

"So should i make you a cup of tea?"

"Can you?"

"Yes i can. Did you underestimated a power of a common man? well i know I'm not a common man but still... "

"yes! a little... and yes you're more common than a common man." i laugh

"Sorry Alessia! But I can't hold back anymore."

"What?"

"You look so pretty when you laugh freely" he said while staring at me. I feel like my heart skipped a beat with his sudden compliment even though i know he only do flirting with me but i don't know why it's the first time I feel confident in...
