A pure smile

He was stuck in a situation where he could not involve her but could not even tell her. He wanted to tell her, to warn her, but he just couldn't drag her in the mess. No, he had to do it by himself.

"HEY! VIC!!" screamed Amelia so loud that brought Vic back to the present.

"Huh? Yes, actually, um, uh.... well, um..."

"Are you going to tell me why you are here or not?! You are my good friend, but I don't joke when I can call the security" she scoffed half-jokingly.

"Oh, no. You wouldn't need to go there. Well, um, actually, YES! Iwasheretocheckhiscomputerforthedata!" he said without a breath and Amelia's expression told him that she didn't understand a word. So he repeated slowly," I was here to check his computer for the data. You know, with the whole 'thing' " he drew extra focus on the word thing.

"Oh, alright. You continue with your work, I'll be heading out."

Just as she stepped outside the office, Vic let out a loud sigh. He knew she was smart enough to know there was something wrong, but she didn't push more and so he was content. But his thoughts swam back to the current problem in his hands.

-----------------

 After the episode, Rose grew quite friendly with Daniel. She would now talk with him instead of just replying to his questions. She still didn't laugh much, but at times, if you were lucky, you could see a small smile slip on her face.

One day she left her office with a huge smile on her face. Of course, no one saw her, but if anyone did, they would not have been able to not grow a similar grin on their face. It was such pure. It was a surprise for her too, that she still was able to smile, after all that...

That day, her day had not been a good one. With a knock on her door, in came Daniel. He had that stupid smile on his face that he carried with him all the time. 

"Hello, Daniel. What brings you here?" Rose asked him as her fingers worked on the laptop.

"Hey... So, um, I, um, actually,.." Daniel started saying but couldn't find the words he had to say. His thoughts wandered back to the book in his hands.

"Yeah?" Rose spoke up and broke the trail of his thoughts.

Daniel smiled again and sat on the chair in front of Rose and said, "So I'll get straight to the point. I was passing a book shop yesterday, and a book reminded me of you. So..." he said as he took out the book that was in his hands behind him. As he handed her the book he mumbled Igikai, though it was not slow enough to not reach her.

"Igikai?" she questioned.

"Yeah, it's a Japanese word. It actually means 'I trust you'."

A small smile appeared on her face and she said, "You know it doesn't mean that!"

"It doesn't?" he asked with a very confused face.

"No, it doesn't. But thank you.." she said with a real smile visible on her face; a real, pure smile. It was not like the other smiles that she had to fake or a small smile that appeared when he joked, he had to see that twice or thrice to actually believe that she smiled and it was not his imagination instead, it was a smile that he would remember.

Even though her smile didn't last too long, he noticed how her eyes closed partially as she smiled. Her cheeks raised up and a small dimple grew around her cheek. "Gosh, she is beautiful" he found himself thinking to himself.

All was well, until...
