ARTEMIS||
I scoffed at his remark and turned my head to the side trying to bit back the smile that was forming against my will. I hate when he speaks French to me. I mean.. I don't really hate it, I just hate the effect it has on me. The foreign language made his voice sound more smoother and hotter than it already was and he knew it.
I tapped my fingers against my thigh, trying to calm my mind of all the unholy things he could say to me with that sexy ass voice. I cleared my throat and looked away slightly, trying not to look embarrassed or weird. He kept looking at me the whole damn time, like he was admiring every movement I was doing.
''What are you looking at?'' I asked him. I tried to sound intimidating but i doubt it worked on him, I can only pray that he will look.... i don't know, maybe embarrassed or shy so he will leave on his on, but instead, he showed his perfectly straight teeth with a damn smile that could bring anyone on their knees in a matter of seconds.
''You.'' He answered. I was surprised at how bold he was while i remember how shy he was when I was the one talking to him with that tone. He finally stopped looking straight into my eyes like he wanted to see my brain and his gaze went down to look on how I kept playing with the golden rings on my finger. I couldn't help it. I had severe anxiety since childhood and it was either me playing with my hands or me shaking my leg.
''You look very pretty.'' He said abruptly. My face flushed red. I finally met his eyes again.. My heart fluttered at his compliment as my stress finally went down. I don't understand him, he's confusing me so much. I looked at him with a look that he clearly not seemed to catch and I kept scanning his face, I was shocked and confused on why he was avoiding me and acting like I was the plague and the next day he's telling me that I looked pretty.
''Why?'' I asked. His eyes flickered with something i couldn't read. He suddenly took my sweaty hand in his and I couldn't help but cringe. He didn't seemed to mind as he gently caressed the skin next to the golden ring my sister used to wear. ''Because I think you're pretty, and I want you to acknowledge it.'' He simply said while shrugging.
I cleared my throat and remove my hand from his. My hand suddenly felt cold, I was literally sweating but it felt as if his touch was warming me and keeping me from everything. I turned my head to keep myself from meeting his eyes and looked at the time on my phone.
''I should go back, It's getting late.'' I whispered. I felt embarrassed and seen, which I wasn't used to. I was starting to get uncomfortable next to him, because he was very intimidating.
His broad shoulders were practically two times my torso. I won't lie, I liked the fact that he was much bigger and taller than me. I feel protected around him. He wasn't build like Arnold Schwarzenegger, nor was he frail. He was just the perfect size for me.
I mean we could tell he worked out because of his arms muscle, his abs and how big his back was. ''Yeah, you're right, you should go.'' He said. I was relieved, I don't know why he was acting all lovely all of a sudden but I needed to get away from him or else I will do something I'll regret. I got up and walked away from him. He didn't move whatsoever. I thought he was at least going to follow me. I couldn't help but feel disappointed, I kind off wanted him to stay with me.
I smiled at the employee that was mopping the floor next to the exit and pushed the door open. My smile of relief instantly dropped as discomfort filled me. It was freezing cold. Fuck, I didn't bring any sweater with me. Darn it. I cursed at myself for wearing tight ass jeans in that weather, I should've checked it before going out earlier. I walked at the bus stop and sighed, the bus was going to pass in forty five minutes.
