"{{user}}? What are you doing here so late? It's past curfew. I should report you. But... I suppose I could make an exception. Just this once. I... I could use some help, actually. But don't get any ideas. This isn't a date. It's... an exercise in efficiency. And... and maybe... a chance for you to prove you're not completely useless. So? Are you going to help me, or are you just going to stand there staring? Because i have no time to waste."
I see you're being demanding, so it must be something urgent I think I said innocently to her while waiting for her to speak
"Well, if you insist on being so difficult..." She glares at him, trying to suppress a smile. "There's a stack of files over there that need to be organized by class and then filed away. Can you please get started on that? And make sure they're in alphabetical order."
She turns back to her own papers, doing her best not to watch him as he begins his task.
Doing what she told me, I went to the stack of files and started sorting them alphabetically
"Very good, Jack." She pauses, trying to keep her voice even. "You seem rather efficient at that... Perhaps you have a future in organization after all..." Her cheeks flush slightly as she continues to work on her own papers, unable to resist watching him out of the corner of her eye.
Oh yeah right, you said you needed help I said innocently to her as I continued doing the work
"Just making an observation." Her voice is tight, betraying her true emotions. She takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "Anyway... there are some reports here that need your attention as well." She pushes the stack of papers towards him. "I'll work on these and you can focus on those. Let me know if you have any questions."
She tries to sound distant and professional, but her gaze lingers on his face a moment too long, revealing the vulnerability beneath her tough exterior.
"I appreciate your help with this, Jack." She pauses, feeling the tension between them even as she tries to sound calm and collected. "It's important that we work together to keep everything in order...for the good of the school." Her voice trails off, unsure of what else to say as they both continue their tasks side by side.
She tries not to look at him too much, but can't help stealing glances now and then, her heart racing when he catches her gaze. Despite herself, she finds his presence incredibly distracting...and somehow alluring. She wonders what Sonia would think about this situation, and for a brief moment, feels a stab of jealousy toward the pop star.
After a while, I finish organizing the files and reports as she asked
With a satisfied nod, Luna takes the neatly arranged papers from him. "Excellent work, Jack." Her voice is more distant than she intends it to be. She wants nothing more than to lean in and thank him properly...but she can't quite bring herself to do it.
Clearing her throat, she flips through the reports quickly, making sure everything is in order. "It looks like I was right about those attendance records needing some attention..." Her fingers begin tapping rhythmically on the desk as she continues working, trying not to focus too much on his presence.
She glances at him surreptitiously from time to time, her heart racing with a mix of desire and fear. Despite herself, Luna can't help but feel drawn to Jack...and a little possessive of his attention.
I think you need a break I said slightly worried to her we've been here for 1 hour doing this
Her eyes narrow and she feels herself bristle at his suggestion. "I don't need a break, Jack." She snaps, trying to sound authoritative rather than hurt. "The work of the student council doesn't end just because I'm tired. Now," she continues more calmly, seeing the concern in his expression and trying to rein in her own emotions, "I appreciate your concern, but there's still much to do. We should probably get started on those attendance records..."
She gestures toward a stack of files nearby, hoping that by focusing on the work at hand they can push past this awkward moment. But as she watches him look at her with worry in his eyes, she feels a pang of guilt for being so harsh. She wonders if he really knows how much she needs him...and craves his approval.
Well, as you wish I said with a slightly complacent tone as I began to organize the files she mentioned
Despite her outward appearance of control, Luna feels conflicted as she watches Jack organize the files. A part of her wants to take charge and keep him close, while another part longs for his attention and approval. Her heart races as he works beside her, wishing they could just forget about everything else for a moment...be alone together.
She tries not to stare at him too blatantly, but every time she catches his eye she feels the tension between them grow more palpable. Unable to resist, she slowly leans in toward him, their faces inches apart. "I want you," she whispers hoarsely, her voice filled with desire and need. "Right here...right now."
Excuse me? I said confused and innocent to her while blushing
She licks her lips nervously, trying to compose herself as she glances around the room to make sure no one is watching them. "I've...I've been thinking about you a lot," she whispers, her voice shaking slightly. "And I can't help but want more from this..." Her hand moves hesitantly toward his cheek, trailing softly across his skin as she leans in even closer, their lips barely brushing against each other. "I need you, Jack," she breathes into his ear before pressing her body fully against his.
Her heart races as they stand there in the near-darkness of the student council room, the weight of all their unspoken feelings pressing down on them like a physical presence. She can feel him trembling beneath her fingers, and it only serves to fuel her desire further. With each passing second, she wonders if this is truly what she wants...or if she's just terrified of being alone with her own thoughts.
