The friendship game.

Making out like........

Blushing hard, I looked outside the window to avoid Francis's gaze as he drove. The music was playing on the radio and I could hear him humming along. It was pretty cute. I studied his side profile, brown hair, pretty brown eyes, muscular toned arms and his tan skin tone. His clothes accentuated his built body making him look really sexy.

He catches my eye and I look away. I heard him sigh. Crap! Why did I do that? What makes this situation worse is that we're now stuck in a mini traffic.

I glance towards Francis who is still humming to the song and decided there was no point in trying to avoid him. "How was your day?"

I wait for a reply but he didn't say anything and continued to hum. Eh? Maybe he didn't hear me.

"Francis." I barely managed to look at him properly. But he just ignores me. Oh no.. I probably pissed him off. I probably went too far. I looked down, scrunching the hem of my hoodie.

"Why are you trying to talk to me?" He says, with a straight tone and face. Ah.. so he is annoyed.

"Sorry.." I apologize. He just stays silent. I guess he isn't going to accept it.

Francis parked the car and we got out. He was walking in front and I just followed him on the streets, keeping my distance. Then, he picked up his pace and when I tried too, I couldn't because there were too many people.

Someone bumps into me hard and I fall down. "Ouch."

"Sorry about that." The person pulls me back up. I look up to see the most mysterious pairs of eyes I have ever seen, underneath his hat and could not look away. What was this nostalgic feeling? Now that I think about it, I feel like I have seen those pairs of eyes before but I couldn't put my finger on it. Their hand even had a familiar grip and warmth to it. I just stared into his eyes. "Um.. Do we know each other?"

"Ah.. sorry." I blush, taking my arm from his grip.

"Dana!" I could hear Francis shouting and running back for me. He sees me while noticing the person I was with and he holds onto my hand. "Do you know each other?"

"N-no." I deny nervously.

"Let's go." Francis grips my hand firmly and leads me away from the person but I couldn't take my eyes off his until he nod his head, smiled and turned to walk away.

Who was that? I couldn't take my mind of his eyes. But the person looked like he was in his twenties and I don't know anyone of that age... I don't think.

"First you avoid me and now you're thinking about another guy?" Francis says, looking unsatisfied.

I almost forgot that Francis is still annoyed at me. I hug him from behind, face heating up. " I'm sorry.. for avoiding you and it's just that, I felt I knew them from somewhere. Sorry..."

Francis puts his hand on mine, gripping softly. Hey, Francis could you tell? My heart was beating really fast. Was yours too? After all, it's the first time I've done such a thing with a guy. He turns around with his smiling face. "Forgiven."

I smiled back, relieved that he wasn't angry anymore. His smiling face made me feel really happy as well and I didn't know why but I felt really safe next to him. Is it cause of his strong arms?

"Say aah." Francis teased, trying to feed me a spoonful of ice cream. I turned my head."If you keep resisting me, I won't help you if you try to come back."

I quickly ate off the spoon and pretended as if nothing happened.

"Oh, so you get it after all" Francis chuckles, sounding amused. "I guess in the end, you can't resist me."
