Seeing him angry for the first time since they met, had somehow messed up Bäahal. She had never seen him like this, angry at the way her sister treated her, angry at the way she responded to it. Angry at the way she didn't see her value. Most of the people she'd met before wouldn't even care about her feelings, but Jaime did. It would have been easy to consider his anger as unjustified but the heiress knew he was right to be angry.
She had been mortified to hear that Bronn had called him to talk about what happened at Highgarden and what he wanted to do to her. The moment Jaime mentioned it, the moment the silver head wanted to open up a hole and die there. It couldn't be, yet it was. shame overwhelmed her, anger, and while she did confront her sister later that week, she could still remember the heavyweight that fell upon her shoulders. Yet, there was more to it than just an angry fit. Jaime cared, he genuinely did and that day, something inside her just clicked. something inside of her just had her wanting to stay with him, something made her heart quiver at the thought that perhaps... she was feeling far more than she let on.
Jaime wasn't a one-night stand. he wasn't someone she'd just meet and fuck. Jaime was someone that meant to her more than she understood at this point. she wanted to spend time with him, yes, but she also cared about his opinion -on things and her especially-, she wanted to make him happy for her, proud of her. she found herself asking for his permission to stay all night long with him -permission he actually gave since he let her in, but still, it had to be verbalized-. She found herself wishing he let her in, so she would have a safe haven for a couple days, far away from family. far away from her troubles, and a chance at dealing with his anger. the very first he had for her/ not against her. She wanted a chance to sleep in his arms, far away from the world where they would be the only two souls. she needed the safety of his arms, the warmth of his body, the softness of his lips. she needed him... she wanted him..; could it be that she was falling for him?
