I looked at her with wonder. Her long black curly hair was pulled into a tight braid that went down her back. Her long eyelashes called attention to her emotion filled eyes. That was where I looked to see what she truly felt.

She could say whatever she wanted but when I looked into her eyes, I knew exactly how she felt. I knew of her feelings for me and whenever she even thought about them or I got too romantic her face would turn a deep red.

She was playing with my glasses in her right hand and her left hand showed her talent. She looked up from her drawing of some dude from a manga she reads and smiled at me. Unsurprisingly I was in awe. Her lips moved upwards into a big grin, making her whole face light up.

"When did you get here?" She asked me.

"A few minutes ago." I scratched the back of my neck. "I didn't want to interrupt you."

"You weren't going to interrupt. These are just doodles." She grabbed the paper she had and showed it to me. "This is my son Shino." She smiled proudly and nervously as I looked at the paper.

"Wow... Cecilia this is amazing. It can't be just a doodle."

Her cheeks tinged with pink and she looked down. I grinned and took a few steps closer. "You alright there?"

"Oh my god." She groaned quietly. Her eyes dashed to my nearing steps and she nodded before jumping up. She pushed past me until she was standing in front of the door. "Yeah, cmon we can't be late."

I sighed, loudly, wanting to tease her even more. "But I just got here."

"But we can't be late." She turned around, seeming to have better control of her emotions than before. "I don't want Jasmin or the others teasing us."

"Diana's probably gonna be late."

Cecilia snorted. "Like always." I grinned and took some steps closer to her. "The others are still gonna be there on time."

Great, she didn't notice.

"Fine I guess we should leave now." I took a few more until I was standing in front of her. She narrowed her eyes at me, daring me to do something. "Or we can stay a few minutes and..." I trailed off as I bent down to her shorter height and whispered into her ear, "...have some fun."

My hands reached up to hold her snug against me but she moved back, stepping on my foot in the process.

"S-sorry."

Her face reddened even more when she realized that she stepped on my foot. She avoided my eyes and looked at anything but me.

"You-"

"Shut up!" She smacked my arm and I laughed. "Don't tease me!"

God, she's so adorable.

"Sorry, I know you get awkward when I try to get touchy."

"Yet you still do it."

"I just can't help myself with you here." I gave her a cheeky grin.

She huffed adorably and walked back to the table. "We almost forgot your glasses."

"Oh right. Those."

She grinned and stared into my light brown eyes as she slid my glasses onto my face.

"How come your hair is always so messy?" She asked me. I shrugged, but kept myself at her height as she ran her fingers through my hair. I grinned and lightly pecked her lips before she could think about it.

Her eyes widened and her face slowly turned a light red. A smile slowly spread onto both of our faces. I could see that she was desperately trying to not look away. I knew that it was hard and I was proud that she even managed this much.
