Heartless Chapter 11: Feelings of the Unknown

Laura gave a moment of silence for the creature before she felt two arms envelope her and a head buried on her shoulder.

She let the moment sink in before she spoke up. "Dante…" she started.

He lifted his head and listened. His ears pricked when he heard his name come from her lips.

"Dante, a while earlier you asked me how I would rate the stars if you told me you loved me in that moment and you kissed me after that, I ran away without answering your question." She started, he let go of her so she could turn to meet him. "Would you like to know my answer?"

"Yeah, I'd like that." He said offering a small smile.

"It doesn't matter what time, place or even date you tell me you love me…" She began. "It just matters that you told me." She smiled.

"Heh, so I guess this means you…feel the same way…" He asked rather happily.

"Yeah…I guess it does…" she smiled widely and took his hand in hers.

They walked back to his dorm building and he was as happy as a kid on Christmas morning, he was glad that he got to hold her hand and be near her for one more time.

"Hey, do you mind if I tell Morrison that the devil was Vance and all that stuff?" He asked as they reached the elevator.

She simply nodded and smiled.

They entered the lift and he kept glancing back at her the whole time, he couldn't find a way to express these feelings of the unknown, love they called it commonly, he called just by being near her and having her in his heart.

They stepped out of the elevator to see the secretary locking up her office and heading to her room.

"You may go in; he is expecting you after all." She said blandly and walked to the elevator.

They approached the door to Morrison's office and knocked.

A faint "Come in" was heard and they entered the door.

"Aah Dante and Miss Laura Kinney, what news will you give me, I know that the devil was a student of F.E.A.R but that can't be helped, lives were saved and it was for the greater good but other than that, the news please?" Morrison smiled.

Dante and Laura walked to the center of the room and Dante opened his mouth to give the report.

"Vance is dead, thanks to L- I mean Miss Kinney." He smiled and simply said so.

"Now, now Dante, you're class mates, first term basis for names are accepted, even though it means more." Morrison said standing up from his desk with a sly smiled.

"Heh…" Dante smiled while he scratched the tip of his nose.

Laura just looked around the place, she was more fascinated with this place than the first time she came here, and there was a pool table, a huge glass window, a sofa that looked so comfortable and a jukebox.

"You ok?" Dante asked as he looked at her distant eyes.

"Yeah, it's just that I've never looked at this office properly the first time and now it seems so huge." She smiled.
