I did this purely for my enjoyment. (I even wrote my book review in this draft)*
As he laid me down onto the bed. I took up the whole bed. With a sudden burst of energy, I bounced back up and playfully questioned, ''Aren't we supposed to be sleeping together?''
''Only if you desire to.''
Surprisingly, there was no snide remark from the king of clichés.
Ah, how delightful! It's not as if the atmosphere had shifted, but something felt peculiar. I can't quite put my finger on it, but why bother analyzing it, am I right?
I lively replied, ''Clearly.''
He coughed, quite loudly at that.
''I have to remark, that's not how a gentleman should act around a fair lady.'' I teased, watching him choke over his... coughs...?
He was starting to turn into a deep shade of red.
''Pardon me, dear sir, but...'', I noticed him regain his balance by leaning against a chair, ''hey, hey, hey, are you well?''
Of course he can't answer if he is choking!

''Interpret it as you want!'' he retorted, whilst a smirk was displayed on my lips.
''What are you, an immature child? I was worried!'' I teased, trying to hide my genuine concern.
''I could tell!'' he replied sharply, but I could tell that his tone was softening.
Author's note: The next chapter will probably have the same beginning as this one, but it will be more formal.
