I s, just to coat reat time How about you?"

He nods, all the while his eyes are boring intoyou Your skin feels like the softest of satin Tell ht?"

My sto like this I thought I hadhe threw at e is incoherent babbling He scrambles my brain that much

And while I ht enjoy the fact that I've let loose on one occasion, I just don't know if I can get involved with sois left

I take a deep breath, in through hof e, I say, "My ansould have been no"

One eyebrow cocks at me in skepticism "No? Truly?"

"Truly Noould you like to eat?"

"Now that's a loaded question," he says, atteht to keep the corners ofupward in response When I just continue to stare at hi the bait

Sighing he says, "Just bring ht"

I turn to leave and make it two steps when I hear his voice "What are you really afraid of, Ren?"

I shouldn't respond I shouldn't turn back to look at hiht into the kitchen and turn his order in

Instead, I turn around and walk up to hi lost"

His hands reach out and take ht I'd think of the word comfort in relation to Cillian, but that's exactly what I feel

"I won't let you get lost" His eyes are serious, not a lick of mischief in them now My heart starts a new rhythe to step further into him

There is no denying I want hih he would never fit into my stereotypical, ideal relationship partner, there is so to iven Cillian's middle name is probably chaos

Before I can say anything, Keefe yells at me from behind the bar that I have an order up I stare one er at hih, I head back to work

Cillian has finished his dinner, and true to for furiously on his notepad I finally got a gliin a busy pub, but he clearly kno to focus

As usual, when he's working, he paysstock of the few tables I have left, I see I don't have anything immediate to do so I walk up to the bar to chitchat with Keefe for a few minutes I've not been able to see him and Aunt Shannon in a few days and I miss his cheery personality

I'm almost to the bar when movement from the corner of my eye catches s Tall, black hair, sparkling blue eyes I had alotten how handsome Cormac was

"Hello, Renner"

I glance around the pub Keefe is busy talking to customers behind the bar and I see that Cillian still has his nose buried in his h why I should look to the help? Or do I want to avoid having them see Cormac?

"What are you doing here?"
