"Is--is that true?"

"Is what true?" I breathed out a sigh, then turned to face him.

"Is it true that you think I'm cute?"

"Umm, uh-- well..." I rubbed the back of my neck nervously, I felt hot sweat pouring down my face and neck, my face blushed tomato red as I glanced down at my feet to avoid his gaze.

"Alex?" he whispered sweetly. "Is everything okay?"

"What?" I coughed, "oh... yes, everything is just peachy" I exclaimed, still trying to avoid his gaze.

"Then why won't you look at me?"

"What? ... Oh, umm-- it's nothing"

"Then you won't mind if I just..." putting two fingers under my chin, he slowly lifted my head up so that I met his gaze.

"There, now then" he paused, "Do you have a... ummm, a crush on me?"

"Ummm, well, umm, uh--yes I may have a tiny crush on you" I whispered, blushing like mad as I looked into his warm, kind, and caring greenish-grey eyes.
