Episode 8

Jasper:

As soon as the car stopped, the driver turned to me and seemed somewhat apprehensive:

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"Oh, yes, why?"

"I heard about you on your first meeting with him, and you seem different from the other Omegas who have met him. I started to think that you were forcing yourself to be here."

"... Isaac... Thank you for your concern... But I'm okay for this, I feel like we both need to talk more about what happened."

"... I understand."

"It's nice that he cares, I felt his empathy for me, even though he's an alpha and one of Reis' hires..." As we got out of the car, Isaac accompanied me through the mansion we had arrived at, leading me to a dining room where the table was already set, but Reis wasn't there. Pulling out the chair so I could sit, Isaac said to me:

"You can sit here for now, Mr. Reis should be here..."

"Oh, really?"

"Don't worry. I'll let Mr. Reis know that you're here, just wait a second."

"Oh, yes. Thank you."

Isaac went off to find Reis, and in the meantime, I couldn't help but notice the decoration of that dining room, it was extremely beautiful, every corner and every small detail was incredibly fascinating.

"Ah, you're here."

"... Good evening."

The doors of the dining room were abruptly opened and Reis entered the room in a hurry, sitting in front of me, while Isaac closed the doors that he had left open.

"I thought you wouldn't come after everything."

"... I believe everyone deserves a second chance, or third, in your case."

"... I understand, but I didn't call you here to talk about that."

"No? I could have sworn you wanted to apologize."

"Yes, and you accepted my forgiveness by coming to me today."

"... I see..."

Reis looked a bit awkward and we started eating, since the table was already set, I filled the spoon with the soup in front of me and tasted it, but accidentally burned my tongue.

"Ow..."

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, I just burned my tongue..."

"Drink some water."

I took the glass of water and drank it, the situation was a bit strange considering the hardships we had already experienced before all of this. Then I continued eating the soup.

"Mmm... Is this spinach soup?"

"Yes, did you notice? Do you like it?"

"I had never tasted it before... It's really good!"

"Damn it! Jasper, did you lose your mind reacting like that near him?!" I still smiled at him.

"Really?"

"Oh... Yes, it's really good..."

"I'm glad you liked it, it was difficult to come up with something you might like without knowing you well. Next time, I'll ask you before serving you something."

"... You don't have to worry about something like that..."

Suddenly, my alarm clock started ringing on my phone, and I reached into my bag, searching for my medicine.

"What's wrong?"

"It's time for my suppressor. I'll just apply it real quick."

"... Are you doing it now because you're afraid I might do something again?"

"... That's not relevant right now... I'll just take it because my doctor prescribed it..."

When he asked me that, my body faltered, trembling all over, I had remembered his touch. I took the pill and prepared the injection.

"Are you going to inject that?"

"Yes, it's to minimize the heat, I have to apply it once every three days as a precaution."

"... Can you do it by yourself?"

"... Don't worry, I can handle it..."

"His sudden concern for me like this scared me, what does he expect by wanting to take care of me after everything?" Reis got up, approached me, and delicately held my arm and hand, slowly taking the injection from my hand.

"You're holding it wrong, you won't hit your muscle like that."

"... I understand..." I let him do it after all, I thought it would hurt, but his touch was gentle for that.

"There you go, here's the needle."

"?! Already? I barely felt anything..."

"Haha, I did a nursing internship about three years ago."

"Really? Wow, you've got the hang of it then. Whenever I need an injection, I'll ask you to apply it" ""That sounded strange, didn't it?!!

Reis returned to his seat and sat down again, and we resumed our dinner. The kind and gentle way he was acting made me consider the possibility of him being my soulmate, but I had that fresh memory in my mind, everything that had happened.

Once we finished dinner, I walked accompanied by him to the exit, but as soon as the main doors opened, we saw that it was pouring rain.

"Rain? Did you hear anything from inside?"

"Not at all, do you want me to send the car to take you?"

"... My street gets flooded... With all this rain, I won't be able to cross... But I appreciate the ride."

"Still going out? Where will you stay?"

"I was planning on going to a motel or something, there are plenty that stay open near my house."

"... I don't think it's a good idea for you to frequent places like that..."

"... Reis..."

"Don't you want to spend the night here, Jasper?"
