My eyes are always searching for you

Chapter 24

So Emily and Alex had already had dinner and went to their room as they were tired. I was left alone with Minho once again.

Should I also go back to my room? Yes. It would be safer in my room after all I had just hugged Minho and it can get awkward. So I should run back to my room as soon as possible.

I was sneaking towards my room when I heard a voice behind me. "Aren't you hungry? I ordered Pizza."

How does he know that I can't refuse pizza?  If I am on death bed and I had one last wish. Even then I would order Pizza. Pizza is my love. I just love it!

So, as you can expect from a Pizza lover, I accepted his offer to have some pizza with him. Yeah. I know it can get awkward after that hug but who cares. I will eat my pizza awkwardly then, no issues.

I sat back on the sofa and Minho brought Pizzas and drinks from the kitchen. I lifted the first piece and took a bite. "mmm..... it's so tasty" I exclaimed with delight. I closed my eyes to feel each and every flavor in my mouth.

When I opened my eyes, Minho was looking at me and smiling.

"I haven't seen anyone enjoying a pizza so much." He commented.

I felt a bit shy. The way he was looking at me made me hot. My face was turning red.

I complained, "Don't look at me while I am eating."

"Then you mean that I should look at you all the time except while eating? Which can also be interpreted as if you are saying I should only look at you" He smirked while acting as if he was confused.

"What? No!" I turned red. "That's not what I meant!"

He started laughing, "You are so easy to tease."

I pouted.

"Okay okay. I'll stop. Go on enjoy your pizza." He said.

Just then, he stopped smiling started staring at me. I noticed his gaze going towards my lips. I said, "What?"

He touched his cheek with one finger. He looked cute. Is he trying to make me laugh?
I chuckled and said, "What are you doing?"

As if he gave up, he continued eating his pizza. But after a pause, as if he can't stop himself he sighed and turned to me.

He came closer. I blinked but couldn't guess what he was trying to do. He lifted his hand as if to touch my face. Is he going to kiss me? He is too close! His face is just some inches away. A kiss after a hug! Today's night is too eventful!

Should I close my eyes? Why is my heart beating wildly? I didn't know what to do. I closed my eyes but then I felt a little pinch on my cheeks and opened my eyes.

"There was a crumb on your cheek." He explained and moved away.

Wait a minute. What was I thinking? Me kissing Minho? Have I gone out of my mind? Why the hell did I close my eyes? Did he notice I shut my eyes?

"Is there something in your eye as well?" He asked innocently.

"Umm...No... I mean yes." I tried to blink hard and acted as if there was something in my eye. I rubbed my eye with one hand.

"Should I blow on it?" He offered.
If you do that, My heart won't be able to take it.

"No!" I shouted as I raised the other hand to gesture don't come closer. He seemed surprised by my reaction.

I rubbed my eye a bit and said, "Oh. I mean no. It's fine... Thank you for the offer." I smiled awkwardly.
