Once and For All-II

Esther blinked. What was with the sudden change, she thought when Beelzebub said, "What's with the sudden change?— is that what's running in your mind right now?"

Used to denying to protect herself, Esther can't help but say, "No, it isn't."

"Liar. You didn't forget that I can detect lies, don't you?" Beelzebub reminded, causing Esther's cheeks to flush. 

She cleared her throat as if it would distract Beelzebub's attention from her earlier mistake. "I will sit."

"Sitting or not there won't be any problem with talking. We can do it this way," continued Beelzebub when his hands were still around her sides as if to lock her there so she wouldn't run away.

Esther dislike the fact that she could hate and love being this close to Beelzebub. At one hand, she hated it as it makes her nervous but on the other hand, she could never hate the closure they have now.
