[It may have been a good thing on deciding to close her eyes, or else she wouldn't have trusted herself enough to allow him to make the choice. Nike was more than willing to carry with whatever consequence will come. Just as she has been shouldering the burden of losing all her friendships with all the men she grew to have affection for. Some with good reasons while others her heart broke knowing she can no longer visit them as long as she was the World Queen.
Even if Livi wasn't here, she wasn't certain she could be friends with Allen or any other guy. She couldn't be trusted. It was clear as day. Her heart was heavy at the simple thought, knowing this was getting the corner of her eyes to beginning to turn wet.
Until she felt the unexpected happen. First, the warmth from his body was, the soft brush on his breath, and nose were slowly moving away from her, or at the very least, felt that way for her because it suddenly felt cooler. Next, she felt his hand offer another familiar squeeze, it was similar to the way he has been holding a moment ago and can feel him guiding her hand between them before moving it towards him.
What is he doing?
Before she could even ask him, she will open her eyes to find him giving her fingers a lingering kiss which will....make her heartbeat even louder while her cheeks begin to heat up in a way she hasn't felt in a very long time. The last time anyone has ever kissed her fingers were to lick the leftover pie crumbs and juices because no one has any paper napkins nearby. It made her feel uneasy, intimidated, but...slightly stimulated. The last time someone kissed her hand was to tease and poke fun of her.
Looking down, Nike will come to a sudden realization -- no one has ever respected her before. No man has ever treated her kindly without any ulterior motives. No one has ever tried to even treat her like a lady. Her eyes will open wide before tears begin to softly stream down her cheeks. No one has ever been this kind to her....no one has ever tried to just hold her hand without trying to sneak in a snuggle or kiss. Just holding her hand, securely, to encourage and protect her.
And yet, a guy she barely knew, a guy who has no idea who she is, or was, just showed her the truest form of kindness and affection. Ah, it was making her cry out in happiness as her heart begins to feel lighter, enough she could sing a song at this very moment. No, she was definitely inspired, already hearing the lyrics--
Even when everything was in ashes, even in days when I almost gave up on living...]
