Sophia suddenly said, "I bought something today that I want to give you."
Jason raised an eyebrow, "An engagement ring?"
Sophia blushed, playfully retorted, "In your dreams!"
"Well, it has been a dream for many years!" Jason replied, dead serious.
Sophia found herself at a loss for words, got out of bed, and rummaged through her bag to pull out a plush dog, proudly showing it to Jason, "Doesn't it look familiar?"
Jason looked serious, "Like me?"
Sophia paused, then burst into laughter, falling into bed and straight into his arms.
Jason, holding her, couldn't help but laugh along.
"You wish you were this cute!" Sophia laughed till tears appeared, her pretty face and bright eyes shining like stars, "Nick, you know, Nick from when we were kids, doesn't it look like him?"
Jason took another look, nodded, "Yeah, it does a bit!"
"Right!" Sophia's pride grew, as if she had discovered something incredible.
Jason chuckled, "So, it's for me?"
"Yeah, it's for you. I was a bit harsh the other day, don't take it to heart, this is my way of apologizing!" Sophia sat up, earnestly.
Jason lifted her slightly, Sophia's attention was on her own words, completely unaware of the posture they were in.
Jason's throat tightened, his voice slightly hoarse, "I wasn't in the best mood that day either, you don't need to apologize."
Sophia was about to speak when her eyes suddenly shifted down.
She couldn't see anything, but she could feel it.
Frantically climbing off him, she glared at Jason, finally managing to say, "How could you?"
Sophia turned away and covered her head, quickly pretending to sleep, muttering, "Cross the line, and I'll ignore you forever!"
Jason, face full of resignation, turned off the light and lay down.
Only when the room plunged into darkness did Sophia place her hand over her heart, pressing down hard, afraid that Jason might notice her nervousness.
They were adults, and he said it was normal, which she understood, but she just wasn’t ready yet!
From best friends to lovers, she needed time to adjust. The idea of getting physical so suddenly seemed too fast.
She and Robin had been together for a year without being as close as she and Jason had been these past few days.
Besides,
She tightly closed her eyes, forcing herself not to overthink.
