His eyes - the color of intoxicating champagne - surprised me with nothing more than a wink and a smile.
Paulie was in control. He definitely knew what he was doing.
- Who do you think you are to wear an outfit like that? - he asked, pretending to be angry - fuck, I don't even know what to say. Do you think I can pay attention to anything else?
The surroundings of Galley-la were absolutely empty. It was almost as if you could touch the silence.
The only thing I could hear clearly was my own breathing.
- It's three in the morning. It's dangerous for a woman to walk around like that, alone, in a little dress. - he stopped to look at my legs again - even more so a woman like you.
- Well, I'm not alone anymore, am I? You're here now.
- I want to know what that son of a bitch did to you. - he said, his long fingers gripping the cigar tightly.
I rolled my eyes.
- To tell you the truth, he didn't do anything. I did. - I smiled with satisfaction - I dumped his ass. He was quite an asshole, after all.
- You dumped his ass, so what? You left alone to be at the mercy of any asshole out there?
- I told you I'm not alone. You're here, fuck...
- I'm not having this conversation with you again - he puffed on his cigar - you can wear my jacket if you want.
- It's not cold.
- Fuck it. You'll wear it.
- Why are you being such a pain in the ass?
- Because I fucking care about you. It's three in the morning and you're walking around alone. The world is cruel, Y/n.
He was right. I knew he was right.
- You're a pain in the ass, Paulie.
I stepped closer until I took the jacket from his hands. I tied it around my waist.
- There you go. I'm going home. Tomorrow I'll give you your damn jacket back - I grumbled - good night.
But he grabbed my wrist.
- I'll go with you.
I quickly disentangled myself from him.
- 'No, you're not. I don't want my gossipy neighbors gossiping.
- They have nothing to gossip about. It's three in the morning. Everyone will be asleep.
I stopped to think.
- What if we stayed here? - I asked - we can watch the sunrise together.
- Where did you get that idea?
- Oh, I don't know. It's nice here, with you.
- You're just saying that because you're needy, because you broke up with that asshole.
- That may be so. But I doubt you'll say no. I know you.
He seemed to agree.
- Okay. But... don't stand so close. - he asked, his cheeks flushing.
We both sat on the floor of the Galley-la, me with my legs stretched out uncomfortably because of the dress, and him rather casually, crossing them in an uncluttered manner.
There was silence for a few seconds, but it wasn't uncomfortable. My mind seemed at ease. At peace. And it seemed to anticipate what was about to happen next.
