The Difference - Christian Leave

Four

My heart pounded in my throat as I tried to answer.  Christian's green eyes were directly on mine.

"Uh, my aunt, she, you know...cleans here, and she asked me to help?  So I'm cleaning?" He looked around the roomed with a softened expression.  "But I'm so sorry, I didn't know this was your house...or your room..."  He smiled with his teeth. I started to breathe normally again.

"Oh, ok.  Yeah, Hannah is pretty cool.  It does look better in here."  He sat down on his made bed that I had just made.  "I was watching my sister's game at the school." 

I just stood there.  "Ok."  He looked at me again. I had never had someone look so directly into my eyes.  Most people just see the world through glazed eyes, but he looked like he really saw things.  I realized I had just been staring at him.  He smiled, bigger this time.

"So, you like my room?  I got some mad cool stuff in here."  He was such a dork.

"Yes, I believe the socks and underwear really make it though."  I chuckled at myself, and looked to see what he thought.

"Oh, you're a sassy one, I like that," and he raised one eyebrow and smiled again.  What a flirt.  What happens now.

"So, are you gonna let me finish...or?"  I asked, tilting my head. He reached up and smoothed his hair. He does that a lot.

"Oh, you don't like talking to me, huh?  Well, it is my room so I'm not going to let you."  I realized that I have never been alone with a boy in their bedroom before.  He patted the spot next to him, signaling for me to sit down.

If he liked sassy, I would give him sassy.  I sat down and looked at him.  His face was cuter up close.  Josie, what are you doing?  Focus.  "Why do you always ignore me if you're so eager to talk?"

He shook his head, and furrowed his brows, "Ignore you?  I'm always messing with you, you just don't respond.  Most girls wink back, you know," he said, wiggling his eyebrows, and failing horribly.

I burst out laughing at his sad attempt and couldn't stop.  I rocked back forth on the bed, with my head in my hands.  He started to laugh too, just watching me.  This was really nice actually, I've never been comfortable enough to laugh like this with a boy.

"Well, I can see you guys are being productive," Hannah said, smiling at how ridiculous we were. I didn't realize she had come in.
