infatuation:
Tales from the heart
Volume 1. Part 1.
"Can I ask you something?" He said, turning his head to face her, still laying on his back.
"Ask away." She responded calmly, turning her head to meet him.
"Do you think I'm hot?" He asked curiously.
She froze, quickly turning her head to see the sky.
"W-why do you want to know?" She stuttered at first, but she collected herself right away.
She needed to keep her cool.
"Well I don't think girls find me attractive. So, I need an opinion." He explained himself nonchalantly.
"I wouldn't call you hot..." She began, turning her attention back on him.
"Ouch." He said jokingly with a chuckle.
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"No-no-no. I didn't mean I like that." She quickly defended herself.
He laughed, her stomach fluttered.
"I know, but what did you mean to say?" He asked her.
"Well I personally don't like to call people hot." She clarified.
"And why is that?"
"I just think that calling someone, 'hot' is a vain thing to say." She pointed out.
"I get that." He nodded in agreement.
For a moment, there was a silence, not awkward, just plain silence.
"Then what would you call me." He piped in.
"Um," She began, thinking her answer through, "Handsome."
She didn't want to call him cute, that's what she would call her baby brother.
And she didn't want to give off that impression.
She definitely had stronger feelings for her friend.
He smiled at her, she could have sworn her heart stopped.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." She said awkwardly.
"So would you think I'm pretty?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah."
That's all he said and she left it at that.
"Well I should get going." He said, breaking through her thoughts.
"Y-yeah, same here."
"See ya at work?"
"Definitely."
