I honestly don't know what to say... I'm at a loss for words.
So, uhm... It was a silent trip back to the Solaris after we escaped from Hivemind..
When we boarded, Aurora's contact didn't say much, nor did he stay long. The ship barely touched down and he simply told us to get off.
Jeez, what a moody man.. Thanks for saving us I guess?
So of course Aurora had to go into a debrief from our fun little vacation. For some reason they didn't want me there..
Suddenly there was this... I don't know.. Everyone was super serious. We got greeted by a small team of CSF and they basically dragged Aurora away. Probably didn't even notice I was there.
Aurora simply told me to wait in her quarters and gave me her access codes.
I didn't really know what to do... To be completely honest, I thought she was angry at me... That maybe the operational team suspected me to have ties to Hivemind...
I mean, I did mention once or twice to join them out of anger. But not that I was serious.
So, yeah... I kinda felt like I was just waiting until I was being thrown out of the airlock. I briefly pondered if I should leave asap.. But I didn't have any of my ships, where would I go? I mean, steal someone else's ship?
After some time, Aurora entered her quarters. She had this stern look on her face.
She sat besides me on her bed and after some hesitation straight up asked me why I kissed her.
So I... confessed. I told her that ever since I read up on her background I felt inspired by her.. And when she went to comfort me back at Hivemind, I felt a sudden attraction. So I followed my guts...
Aurora asked me if it meant anything to me.. I told her it did and returned the question, following up asking if I shouldn't have done it.
As you can imagine, my nerves kept growing and as a result I nervously bit my lip...
That was... That was when she froze up and she started to blush... Alot... She also looked me dead in the eyes.
So I asked her if she was alright and she mumbled something incomprehensible...
I asked her what she said... And after a brief moment, she simply pulled me close and kissed me.. For what seemed ages...
This feeling grew inside of me, something I never felt before..
It's a really funny feeling.. I've never experienced it before.I'm used to always being on edge, never trusting anyone and hardly opening up alot... But she.. Makes me feel... Safe?
I feel like I can really let my guard down with her, which is a first...
Anyway, fast forward some time and I got a mission from a contact of mine. The usual routine: Protect miners from pirates at resource extraction zones...
Nothing special, plus I get to keep the bounties collected.
I decided to ask Aurora along, might as well have fun shooting people together.. At first she didn't seem too sure, but she decided she'd tag along whenever I decide to take them up on their offer.
So yeah... Other than that we decided to call it an early day... Rest properly from our stay at Hivemind.
Aurora insisted on me staying in her bed this time, just not alone...
Let's just keep it at: there wasn't a lot of sleep that night.
Alexis out.
