Not everyone feels awkward when communicating with the person you are in love with. And you're one of them. You communicate calmly, start making friends, get to know a person a little closer, if suddenly you are not very close with him. This happens throughout your life, you are not shy when it comes to something intimate.
As long as you're like this, your colleague Leon isn't. Of course, he knows how to behave, behave with you, find topics for conversation, but when the moment moves to a kind of "point of no return", he manages to stop everything. And in order not to embarrass him too much, you don't focus your attention on it, pretending that everything is as it should be.
You don't know what he's afraid of, why he doesn't move on, because your relationship has long outgrown the status of "friendly". You can safely kiss each other, cuddle and many other pleasant things. Despite this, you didn't spend a single night at Kennedy's or he at yours.
That's exactly what you don't need from him, but enough time has passed, and the agent hasn't talked to you about it, hasn't even hinted that maybe he needs more time, and so on. And you didn't realize how much longer he would torment you both with this misunderstanding.
The load during the day was extremely noticeable in the evening, when Leon and you decided to walk along the nearest embankment. You walked slowly next to Kennedy, holding on to his elbow. This night could have been more than that.
"Don't you want to stay with me today?" the agent seemed to be doused with ice water. "Well, look… If I kiss you, we'll end up kissing on the couch, and if we end up kissing on the couch... The chances are... we'll will kiss in the bedroom, and if we kiss in the bedroom, then... then you know that's.. that's the part where you can hrush into... And I just don't... I don't think that's a good idea... rush into spending the night together," his cheeks flushed. "I want to spend the night together," you said bluntly. "I had no problem with that," Kennedy relaxed.
