Naturally, she'd been hesitant to meet with him again. In fact, when she'd first seen him hovering at the entrance to the school, waiting for her, she pondered whether she could risk sneaking out one of the side exits without being seen.
It was stupid. Really. Even if what happened the previous night hadn't exactly been his fault, surely that only made it worse? It didn't matter how sweet he was now if he had no control over himself, right? The knot in Sabrina's stomach as she turned to walk away disagreed. She'd said she would see him again, so she would. And if it ended badly, so be it.
"Besides, this is Chase" some part of her brain reminded her "Chase who you liked."
She turned to look at him again. It was hard to believe that he was one of the most powerful people on the planet as he stood playing with his fingers and transferring his weight awkwardly from one foot to the other. He looked strangely vulnerable, and the knot spread up to her chest. She felt suddenly protective over him. Her protective over a bionic superhuman.
"Who you like" her brain corrected.
She begrudgingly agreed.
Before she could collect her thoughts, she found that her feet has taken her to the boy in question. He shot her a grin, but it quickly crumbled into a look of concern.
"Sabrina, uh, thanks for giving me a second chance."
And then her body seemed to disregard all of her reason. Because, before she was conscious of it having moved, she found her lips drawing away from his cheek.
