“Don't be a smart arse.”
He leaned back on his seat, watching me. "Why do you think they picked you as my asset to get out?"
"Well, because that's the deal. You have to be able to see your trainer down without reacting emotionally, I suppose."
“You know what's funny? They sprayed perfume all over my flat."
I swallowed hard at that. "What?"
"Perfume. They sprayed it all over my flat. It was too… I don't know, flowery, I guess. They like sprayed it on my bed, downstairs, the couch. The couch really smelled like it."
What was I supposed to say? 'Hey, we shagged that one time, but you don't remember, so I’m trying not to trigger anything. Please, dear God, remember me.'But I didn't say that. "Well, that’s weird. Maybe it was supposed to remind you of a long-term girlfriend or something."
He shook his head. “I've never had anyone to my flat. I have another place for that. It was one of Charlie's rules. Never bring a girl back to the flat, because then you can't make them leave."
"Oh, charming."
"Well, there was an incident once when I was at uni. This girl, she kept showing up. That's when Charlie told me about his no girls at the flat rule. It seemed like a good idea at the time."
"I’m sure it did."
"Well, anyway, I just came to see how you're doing."
"Aw, don't tell me you care."
He rolled his eyes. "Easy does it. You're going to ruin my rep like that. Who said I care?"
“I see you, King. You're starting to like me."
He chuckled then. "Are you sure you're all right?"
“Yeah. You didn’t react when you saw me, did you?"
His gaze was mysterious then. "No, of course not. I locked down all the emotions and did what a good agent would do."
“Glad to hear it."
When he pushed to leave, I called him back. "Oh, hey, King?"
“You know, I’m starting to like you calling me King."
"Ugh, please, get over yourself. But anyway, before you so rudely interrupted me, I was about to say good job today."
“Thanks. Start feeling better soon. I need my trainer, don't I?"
A smile tugged at my lips and my heart fluttered.
You cannot have him. He’s forbidden.
It’s best you remember that.
