After we ate lunch Gally came back and started to work again but refrained from really talking to anyone. He would only give orders when needed and for help when he needed it which was rare. It was rather strange behavior but it seemed the rest of the builders were used to it.

I had worked with Morsov most of the rest of that day, building the seats on the new table. It was coming along pretty well and we would start sanding the wood hopefully by tomorrow.

Dinner was rather uneventful as we dined on spaghetti and I sat with Newt, Velt, Greg, and Matias like I normally would. But I found myself unable to concentrate of their conversation instead kept looking over at Gally who needless to say was glancing at me as well, and a strange but welcoming warm feeling ensued after. I was still kind of mad about how he had thrown Greg to the ground for just messing with me though.

Later that day after dinner we were all settling in for bed. I was actually shaking my wet hair out since I had just taken a shower. Alby had been nice enough to give me my own shower with a door and a lock and everything. Ever since the Ben incident not to many guys have been all that perverted or you know staring at me. At not least where I can see them doing it anyway.

I had my clothes on and everything as I walked out of the shower area running my hands through my wet blonde hair in an attempt to untangle the unruly blonde hair.

Suddenly Gally showed up from walking around the corner and I froze in surprise. I almost ran straight into him but reacted quickly enough to step back before collision.

" Oh uh.. hey Gally" I said awkward and pulled all my hair over my shoulder. " Hey Ferris" He replied in similar awkwardness.

He made a move to leave but I stopped him " Hold up Gally I need to talk to you" I announced grasping his muscular arm. He stopped and turned to me expectantly looking down at me with those familiar light blue eyes. I took a breath "earlier today when Greg was just messing with me you shoved him to the ground, can I know why?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest like I normally did.

Gally sighed " I guess I just overreacted" He claimed shrugging and that certainly wasn't what I wanted to hear nor did I think it was the truth. I rose a brow " Overreacted? Uh huh sure" I retorted not allowing him to easily wiggle out of this.

Gally seemed to think for a moment " I don't know I just feel... well.... strangely protective.. you know what never mind!" He answered begrudgingly and attempted to walk away again. Protective? Well that was obviously apparent.

I was so probably going to regret what I said next.

" Gally stop! Look I think we are both feeling the same thing here.... you know like how every (Time we touch I get this feeling!(Sorry that was stupid just ignore this if you don't get it) I am around you I just feel..... different" I said trying to get my point across. Gally turned and looked at me with surprise across his face. I was hoping he actually understood what it was that I was trying to tell him and judging by his reaction I would say I was successful!

He swallowed registering my words and suddenly I was kissing him.

I was caught by surprise but kissed back. His lips were slight chapped but still soft at the same time. He was actually a good kisser from what I could tell but after a couple seconds we broke apart. I was still kind of startled but recovered quickly and smiled.

I looked down slight embarrassed but felt accomplished in finally admitting it.

" So I take it you feel the same?" I asked softly not wanting to look up at him and gulped.

" Yeah"
