The Date pt.2
Arius took me to a popular street food place, L'as du Fallafel.
The falafels were really nice. A different kind of food but tasty.
We talked about completely random stuff as we ate.
I scratched my neck when something clicked in my mind. It probably didn't cross my mind before because I had gotten too used to it .
"Arius?" I stopped in my path.
He halted in his path and looked at me, "Hmmm?"
I pointed with my index finger to my neck, "What about this?" I placed my finger on the collar. The collar that was proof that I was his slave.
"..." He didn't answer me immediately. In my mind, I thought that he would take it off immediately now that we were together but he started thinking about something, "I can't." He shook his head lightly, "Not now."
I raised my eyebrows at him, "Why not?"
He was at a loss and was hesitating with his answer, "Just." He chewed his lower lip.
Was he nervous?
