Ok so I meant to add this to the last chapter but I forgot, so here it is. a little bitty blurb!
Chapter 9.5
Arthur sat in his car after dropping Merlin off and gripped the steering wheel, telling himself to take deep breaths. What was happening? He had just had the best day of his entire life and it had been with Merlin. Not like that was a problem for most people but it was for Arthur. Merlin was his employee and a guy. But there was something at Merlin that made his insides burn, something that made him feel viciously possessive of him. And when Merlin had joked that he loved him he felt like the wind had been kicked out of him. He didn't love Merlin, not like that. He did like Merlin, even would go so far as to say that he was a close friend but he didn't like him in that way, did he? He had to stop thinking like this.
