Well, things had gotten interesting, because as soon as he had finished speaking, Jade continued to stare at him as though he had asked her to do something completely out of the ordinary.
"Lay on his lap?" she asked herself numerous times. "Does he think I have gotten so comfortable with him to just lie on his lap… where the hell is that thought even coming from?"
"If you don't want to, I can stand up…"
"No, no." Jade stopped him. "No need for that, I am good… I…" she sighed and looked him in the eyes. "I am good, I promise."
Van nodded in approval, but it was a shame though. He wondered if he had sounded weird asking her to do that, and he hated that she did not comply. What he would have given to feel her willingly rest on him while he stroked her hair… too bad it was not happening.
