❝A winner has won❞

.•*•. +

We've been playing this one game for hours, it's a long one but both of us are doing the best we can to win this thing. The tiredness threatens to take over my body but I fight it with every urge that I can. Closing my eyes is the last thing that I need right now. I can't lose focus. This game of chess is close but at this point it's unclear who's winning. It seems he has stepped up his game but so have I. I'm brining my A-game tonight and there is no way that I will lose this game. 3

"Check" I speak. My voice is barely above a whisper but that is enough for him to hear me. The silence is all around us as it had welcomed us into its world. Even when everything is silent with only our breaths and the movement that we make as the sounds that we hear, I still find comfort in the silence. He moves his king away from my trap and I mentally sigh as I was so close to winning. I make my move but I've lost the 'check' in this, for now. 2

"You aren't giving up, now are you?" He asks as he does his move. "Of course I'm not giving up" I tell him but I try not to look up at him. For the whole night I've ignored his face and his looks because looking at him will distract me and I can't have him distracting me, at least now right now when we're playing this game. I make my move and he has just fallen into another trap. "Check" I say to him as I look over the board. Hoping that he will fall deeper into my trap.

One move to the right and I've won but of course when he makes his move he moves his king to the left and my 'check' is gone. This is getting frustrating for me. In this game alone I've gotten five 'checks' while he has gotten seven. I'm not sure which one of us is better at this point because it seems we are equals in this game. "You're rather good at this game but it seems not good enough. Check" He says and I narrow my eyebrows at the board when I see it. "Mate" He then speaks. 44

My eyes widen when I look over the board and see that there is nothing that I can do to move the king without falling into another trap. I look up to meet his face to see that he is smirking and it's a smirk that I want to wipe off his face. "I-um-I" I stutter as I don't know what to say. His hand goes over to my king and lays him down on the table and I see that he's won. Sebastian King has won and I've lost this game of chess.

"You what? Lost? Yes, it would seem that way. Now, do you take the left or right side?" He asks me and my eyes widen even further if that is even possible. I'm shocked and surprised. He made a move that I had not expected and it was seriously well done. I reach my hand out for him to take and he does. We shake on it. "Good game" I mutter to him before I stand up. Now even mentioning how his hand made perfect sense in my hand. "I sleep on the right" I tell him before I go into the room that I had slept in.

I dress myself into my pajamas and I should be dreading this but I'm not. I actually find myself exited for some reason. I try as hard as I can to silence those thoughts out of my brain because it's wrong. When I'm dressed I walk out of the room to see him standing by the door that leads out of this place and into his mansion. I notice that the chess board has been cleared and the pieces have been put back to where they belong. He gestures me to follow him and I do. 1

As we are walking through his mansion an uncomfortable silence appears and I'm not sure what to do or what to say. My heart is speeding in my chest like my life depends on it and the butterflies in my stomach are going to make me want to throw up but I'm glad I'm fighting that urge. The darkness lingers over us as the night has come and it would appear that all the staff has gone to bed and all lights have been turned off and Sebastian doesn't bother turning them on for us to see anything.

It would appear that he doesn't want me to see anything around here and he has succeeded in that because I can barely see my own feet in this darkness and it's a miracle how I've not fallen down at this point by my very own legs. My mouth opens to say something but when he stops right in his tracks by a door I instantly close my mouth and my heart skips a beat when he turns around to look at me. Through the darkness I can still see his satirizing emerald green eyes that keep growing on me the more that I see them.

"This is my bedroom" He mutters to me before he turns around and opens the door. The darkness is also in his bedroom until he walks inside the lights turn on themselves. I silently let out a gasp when I see his room. And I can't believe that I will be the one to sleep in here. This is a dream come true. "It's beautiful" I whisper but more to myself. When I'm done looking over the room I notice that he's undressing himself and I'm quick to turn around but I can't miss out that chuckle that he lets out. Is it wrong that I want to peek?
