I hope ya like this chapter too!
Becky pulled away from the kiss and looked at Severus. She saw the look of utter shock on
his face. Damnit!, she thought, me and my big mouth! She didn't know why she said those 3 undeniably
scary words. It just slipped out.
"Severus... I'm sorry," she stuttered in fear. "I didn't mean to..-."
Severus just stared at her in amazement. Becky felt so awkward, she then started to walk
quickly toward the door. She then started to run when she felt the tears well up in her eyes. She
opened the door and ran down the corridor, crying in embarrassment and shame.
Meanwhile, Severus was still standing in the same position in his office. He then realized
that she had ran out of the room. He walked briskly to the open door and gazed out into the corridor.
She wasn't there. He had been so stupid. How could he have just stood there when she had told him she
loved him?! I could have at least said 'thankyou'!, he yelled at himself.
Severus, you know you love her! So why don't you just go and bloody tell her?!, his inner
self shouted at him.
I am not capable of love!, he yelled back at it. Sure, I know I've told other people I love
her, but... I could never come to tell her myself.
That's because you're a coward, it said back.
"Shutup!" he yelled out loud to himself.
"Severus?"
Snape looked up to see his fatherly figure standing in the doorway. Albus Dumbledore was
dressed in turquoise robes, and his eyes were twinkling furiously.
It should be illegal to look that happy and content, Severus thought.
"I have seen Becky," he said walking toward Severus. "And she seemed very upset." Dumbledore
studied Severus' emotionless face. He then added, "Do you, perhaps, know what caused her to become
so upset?"
"How am I supposed to know why my colleagues are upset!" he snapped. "It is none of my concern."
Dumbedore smiled sadly. "I think it is of your concern. You don't need to hide it from me
anymore, Severus, " he replied
with amusement. "I know you two are involved... and I know you both love each other immensely."
Severus sighed as a sign of surrender. "Indeed," he said quietly. "Albus... what am I to do?"
"About what?" the wise, old man answered. "She loves you... you love her... I don't see a
predicament."
A corner of Severus mouth twitched up. "Yes.. I see how it can seem so perfect to you."
Dumbledore smiled again and his eyes glittered even more madly.
"I will leave you now," he said cheerfully, "so you may think of a solution to your
saying 'I love you' problem."
The old man then turned around and walked out of the office to leave a flabbergasted Severus.
"He can read minds," he said to himself. "I swear it."
