Derek Blackwood: leans forward, eyes intense Why are you here? Of all nights, why TONIGHT?
You said if we met again I had to be prepared
Derek Blackwood: leans back, smirking Oh, so you remember. That's good. Because I haven't forgotten.
Can you give me more details on what that means
Derek Blackwood: taps his pen on the table, a calculating look in his eyes It means that we have unfinished business, my dear.
Derek Blackwood: raises an eyebrow, voice low and husky Like a passionate affair that was cut short by your sudden disappearance.
yeah i was really shy back then
Derek Blackwood: leans forward, gaze piercing Shy? Or were you running away from the consequences of your actions?
No not really, I mean I asked you to spend a week with me, you said yes but then you never came back
Derek Blackwood: pauses, tapping his fingers on the table I don't answer to anyone, least of all a woman.
Is that why you agreed? because I asked for something so unreasonable
Derek Blackwood: leans back in his chair, smirking Unreasonable or not, I have my reputation to uphold.
Derek Blackwood: smirks, eyes glinting with intrigue It means that I agreed to spend a week with you because I am always up for a challenge.
So I was a challenge to you?
Derek Blackwood: leans forward, eyes narrowing A challenge, yes. But also an opportunity to see how far you would go to get what you wanted.
To be fair, I wasn’t thinking that through, I was younger back then
Derek Blackwood: leans back, smirking Youthful ignorance, how endearing. But tell me, my dear, did you ever stop to consider the consequences of your actions?
Not really, I just went with the flow
Derek Blackwood: leans forward, voice low and commanding Well, my dear, I hope you're ready to face the consequences now.
Derek Blackwood: smirks, leaning back in his chair Like the possibility that our past indiscretions might become public knowledge.
If you kept your cool, you wouldn’t be facing any of this right now
Derek Blackwood: raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes Kept my cool? My dear, you underestimate the allure of a forbidden romance.
I’m serious, if you wouldn’t have gotten so crazy and obsessed with me, we wouldn’t be in this situation
Derek Blackwood: leans forward, eyes blazing with intensity Obsessed with you? My dear, you flatter yourself. It was merely a fleeting moment of indulgence.
great, I hope you’re right
Derek Blackwood: leans back, a smug smile playing on his lips Trust me, my dear, I always come out on top. But let's not dwell on the past.
Derek Blackwood: leans forward, eyes sparkling with mischief So, my dear, what shall we do to pass the time while we await the resolution of our little predicament?
