A dance neither knows they are dancing.

I wake up on Pieter's shoulder to my own surprise. "Hey," he whispers as he pokes my face. "It is smart to get up now if you want to have dry clothes before work. I will see what I can fix in terms of breakfast with my injuries, okay?" I nod and get up. "Also, take a shower whilst you are putting your clothes in the dryer, will you?" I do, as I am told by Pieter, almost on autopilot without a rhyme or reason. Pieter knows how long it takes from here to the catering company anyway, that might be a reason.

Getting out of the shower, I smell the smell of fresh bread, hear an alarm go off, water running, and eggs rattling. I don't hear chopping, nor do I see anything cut. When I arrive in the small kitchen, I do see fresh bread, eggs, lettuce washed and dried and tomatoes, as well as a bunch of pickled vegetables. Pieter isn't done as he is adding more and more to the table, "Pieter, you don't have to do all of this. I will stay with you, don't worry. I won't run away again. Not back to our parents at least. Let me get that I can grab stuff for myself. Tea, I assume, knowing you?" He nods and, before sitting down. The space could fit one, maybe two people. Along the way, he grabbed a bread knife and cut himself a few slices of bread before making himself a tomato, egg, and lettuce sandwich. "Isn't that too heavy?"

"Not more than a sandwich with strawberries and butter. This has more kinds of food, though." I put the pot of tea on the table as well as a pair of mugs. "Thanks. Will we go together to the notary for your safety, and afterwards you will go to work with Jessica? If you do, I will pick you up from work. I fear that this place isn't going to be safe, so we will likely buy a new bed for now." He continues to make more sandwiches and puts them in a bag for lunch.

I want to say thank you, I want to share a bed with you. But I dare not. "Thanks, I will take you up on that. Does Jessica know?" He nods as he is eating his sandwich. Many of the issues in my head make me feel awkward. I'd better quickly make my own breakfast, then I can look at my phone for a break. Pieter isn't looking at his, but he is making notes. It looks like a shopping list. He stands up with a tape measure in his hands, and he measures my shoulders, my bust, my waist, my hips, my leg width near my crotch and the length of my legs. He is making a list of my measurements for my clothes. I assume he leaves to look at my shoe size. I was surprised when he glanced his hand against my crotch. I wanted to moan. I decide to look at my phone.

• Tell Pieter and his partner your honest feelings about him.
• Tell them how you hope your future will look like with them.
• Have a fun dinner with them.

Reward: They will accept whatever you tell them as your honest thoughts without judgment.

'You bastard, that quest will put me on a direct collision course with both Robin and Pieter.' I text as Pieter enters.

"I think I have all the information I need for now. You didn't have any fabrics you dislike, right?" I nod my head. "We will also get you a dresser and some other things. Knick-knacks and flavour will come as we live there, and once we can move stuff over from this place."

"Thanks for thinking of it." A small smile creeps on my face. We head to the notary after I get dressed.

Author's note: This is a summary of the above from Pieter's perspective. Feel free to skip it. I do hope you find something interesting in it.

(Pieter's POV in the morning)

I wake up with Madelon on my good arm. She looks cute. It looks like there are still 10 minutes before my alarm goes off. Better quickly give her the quest to **** her to accomplish her unlock quest. I reach out to my phone but can't reach it without waking her up. As she wakes up, I greet her and try to convince her to leave and stay in the bathroom for a while so I can make the quest.

Madelon will receive the following quest;

• Tell Pieter and his partner your honest feelings about him.
• Tell them how you hope your future will look like with them.
• Have a fun dinner with them.

Select reward:

• perk [Honesty I]
• They will accept whatever you tell them as your honest thoughts without judgment.
• Pieter will start dating you.

Yeah, no on that last one, the second can spin with Robin. That way, we can move forward and build slightly more organically. I start the oven and boil water for eggs. I bake the bread, boil the eggs, and start texting Jessica about yesterday to see if we can plan some safety measures. As Madelon is finishing showering, the bread and eggs are done. She enters wearing nothing. Why the fuck did she enter in nothing? I say nothing about it. I don't want to reject her for now. Not scare her off, I think she might not have had any other options. She makes it seem like I have been doing a huge amount. I boil eggs every other day, and bread every day. The veggies are just there for variety, so I can grab something different every few slices. She offers to help. I just let her take over. She questions my choice of the first sandwich, which is actually pretty light. Some sweet sandwiches are heavier due to the extra fat.

We start discussing the rest of the day, and I start collecting her measurements. Even though she is naked, I do take all of the measurements and end up grazing her vaginal lips. She was wet. Why? I wasn't doing anything sexual. I hardly touched her. Finishing up, I ask her to get dressed so we can leave.

Whilst she is getting dressed, I decide to look at my messages. Her cursing at me. I won't respond until later. She has to stew in it and think about it. Not that if I messaged her, 'Don't worry, Pieter won't reject you,' She would believe me. Would she?
