My eye was focused on the viewfinder of the camera, through which I was seeing his body posing in front of me. I was focused on the pictures I was taking when his question struck me. Got me out of my reverie. Troubled me.

I get back and look up at him, still nothing coming out from my mouth. I lock my eyes into his just to try to get if he really asked what I heard or if I just dreamed.

Why the hell would he want to know? I mean, I was so focused and he just comes and talks with his voice.

I literally went from the admiring person to the angry one in a second, as if my brain remembered that I'm supposed to hate him.

God, what's wrong with me?

"you're not obligated to answer if you don't want to..." he suddenly says, running his hand through his hair.

When will he stop doing this? Doesn't he know that I can't focus because of his hair and eyes?

But I don't show any of these feelings and just act like a normal girl who doesn't care because I'm clearly not supposed to feel these stupid feels.

Do I even care?

"tonight,... I planned nothing except picking up my little brother," I say randomly and look back in the viewfinder.

I take some pics with the flash on and then he takes the speech.

"well, my friend invites you to his party tonight," he says without a gaze.

Seriously? I didn't talk with his friends except for Teddy.

"I cant" I reply without thinking about my answer and it, apparently, makes him laugh. "something's wrong?"

"you just said you planned nothing but then you say you can't, but nooo, for you it's normal!" he says sarcastically with a smirk.

He got me but I'm not going to give up right now.

"I don't know anyone." I try this excuse not to go with him in that party. It would be as crappy as the last one.

"You know me."

"I don't like Jenny"

"You can bring whoever you want and Who said she will be there?" He says and I don't know what he's doing but I won't have other excuses and he keeps on insisting.

"She's your girlfriend" I know that most of the girl who dates a guy go with them in the party they go to so maybe Jenny and Shawn are like that. Plus, last time they were at the same party.

"And?... I don't bring her with me everywhere I go." He says while moving out from the camera's field.

I look up at him again. He's walking to me and finally joins me at my desk on which is my laptop.

Damn. If I was a boy I would have bought that outfit without a doubt but I'm not a boy and I have to stay professional.

I swallow my saliva with difficulty and rest the camera next to the computer while standing up. I come up to him too and look straight in his eyes from the top of my small height. He knows he is intimidating me so he plays with this but it's now my turn to play.

"Who said I want to see you?" I say and leave him speechless.

He opens his mouth to speak but closes it immediately. He seems to think and I laugh internally when I see him in this state until I notice a glow in his eyes. A glow that I never noticed before. Can he be angry? No, he will not be angry for that? He frowns and contracts his jaw.

"I want my hoodie back." He says and goes back to the locker room.

He won. He won and I lost my own game. He got me. Again.

I hate him. In fact, I don't. But I hate the way he makes me feel because he doesn't even try that I'm already tensed.

A bit after this, he gets out from the changing room with his own clothes on and starts getting out but stops when he reaches the door.

"Send the pictures to my manager." He says and leaves me here, shocked.

I swear that this boy drives me crazy. Only ten minutes ago he was nice and even proposed me to go to his friend's party and now he says that I have to send the pics to Andrew while I have his number. I just wanna know if I did something wrong because I can't with him.

Seeing him like that first made me feel guilty but then the anger comes up. I can be angry too with no reason to be!

I pack all my things and ask the assistants to clean the studio. I walk down the stairs and join Rosalie to tell her goodbye and finally get out of the agency.

I take my phone from my bag and click on the cell phone icon.

"Hi, Teddy! how are you?" I ask and continue right after he answered. "Could we hang out... Like right now? I thought that it would be nice."
