The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Kurt and Vivian took a cab back to her villa that afternoon.

The atmosphere was nowhere near as awkward as before. Vivian was uncharacteristically silent during the ride, biting her lip from time to time.

Kurt noticed her behavior and repeatedly asked if she was feeling uncomfortable.

Vivian hastily shook her head in response.

Unbeknownst to him, she was hatching up a plan to keep him around.

Do I pretend to be sick? No, that's too unrealistic. The maids in the house will do a better job of taking care of me. Hmm. What excuse can I use then?

Vivian was frustrated.

By the time they arrived at the villa, she had come to the demoralizing conclusion that his departure was imminent.

To no one's surprise, Kurt made no move to leave the cab as he said, “We're here. You can head inside.”

Vivian paused in thoughtful silence as she remained seated in the cab. A faint blush colored her cheeks, and she blurted, “Aren't you coming in too?”

“What?” Kurt was understandably perplexed.

Vivian closed her eyes, steeling her nerves before uttering pettily, “I want you to send me inside. You're my bodyguard now, and you have to obey all my orders.”
