Natalia's hand felt unnaturally warm in mine as we walked back to the condo. The neon signs of New Vein's commercial district painted her face in alternating hues of blue and pink, highlighting the flush still lingering on her cheeks. The shopping bags swung lightly from my other hand, feeling practically weightless compared to the heavy tension between us.
"You're quiet," she said, glancing up at me.
"Just thinking about how the night's going to end," I replied, giving her hand a squeeze.
Her blush deepened, and she looked away, but not before I caught the small smile on the corners of her lips.
Three weeks ago, this girl wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire. Now she was practically dragging me home, her entire body telegraphing what she wanted.
I mentally opened my System interface, checking my progress.
