"Who said that?" Lumine exclaimed, her face turning even redder. Before she could say more, Cassian pulled her closer, stopping her in her tracks. "I-I'm not your girlfriend..." she stuttered.
Cassian raised an eyebrow with mock surprise. "We kissed, so that makes us a couple. Don't you know that?" He smirked, adding, "You really are new to this, huh?"
"Knock it off with the nonsense," she said, trying to sound stern, but her flushed cheeks betrayed her.
Cassian chuckled, clearly not taking her seriously. Moving his hand from her waist to her shoulder, he said, "It's not nonsense. I mean, It is about what I said, we kissing, make us boyfriend and girlfriend?" Lumine looked at him, confused, but his genuine smile made her pause and listen. "But honestly, I wouldn't mind having someone as beautiful and strong as my girlfriend. I'd even pray to the devil if it meant you'd be mine," he added with a grin.
