"You're weird you know," for the first time I saw the turning up of his lips, the glimpse of amusement dancing like stars beneath his eyes.
It made my heart beat stronger against my ribcage, and made me felt more alive in that instant.
"Yeah? Then perhaps I'm glad I am."
"Does that mean I can come inside?" I said as cheery as I could before I lost my chance.
He narrowed his eyes, but this time I knew he wasn't anymore a walking ticking bomb, "How do you know my house anyway?"
I shifted my weight, "well I followed you last time."
"Isn't that all stalkerish? How do I know you're not dangerous?" my eyes bulged out.
"But I'm not! I was just making sure you were okay!"
He laughed as if he purposely made me all worked out. I was going to be mad when I found out he was playing me but later on, all I felt was lightness as I heard his laughter chimed through the air.
"So, I'm guessing that's a yes?" I gave him one big innocent smile.
When I knew he was about to answer, I glanced at the door. He was putting his weight on the door and there was a gap between. I took it as my chance and flew inside,
"I'm inviting myself in!"
I left him stunned, this time it was my turn to laugh.
When I felt like he was about to complain, I turned back towards him and gave him a playful smile
" I told you I'm not leaving, "
He smiled I was sure my heart pounded and,
my world

was silenced
" I know. "
