A Million Crushes

I didn't get raped. 

Conor turned to look at me. ''Your nervous, right?'' 

I nodded frantically, endangering my neck and spine. And also gaining a strange look from Conor.

Why was I even here? What fool willingly follows, practically a complete stranger? 

''It's cool, really it's just me and my best friend.'' 

I let out out a sigh of relief. At least we wouldn't be alone. He slotted his key in and allowed me enter the house first.

''Conor, is that you?'' A male voice came from the living room. WE walked in and you would never believe who I saw. It was Dark eyes himself. His black hair was sprawled over the pillow and his blue eyes were misty and eerie. 

What kinda messed up, twisted, channel 4 drama was this?

''Leah, this is Danny, Danny, this is Leah.'' 

He smiled charmingly and offered his hand.

''Nice to meet you, Leah.''

 I took his hand and shook it.

''Nice to meet you, Danny'' I replied. 

Boy, was I glad to finally know his name.

''So erm you two dating?''

Conor suddenly turned pale. ''No.'' 

''No.'' I said. Wow, did he really have to say that with all the colour drained from his face and his eyes darkened with mild disgust?

Danny turned to me swiftly. "Hey, why don't you take a seat?"

I sat on the farthest seat away from both boys.

This-this was extremley akward. 

"So... how are the kids?" I blurted out.

facepalm. Facepalm. FACEPALM.

How could I produce such nonsense from my lips? What was I even talking about?

I felt my eyebrows knit in confusion of myself, and Conor and Danny's likewise.

"Do you want juice or-"

"Yes!Yes!Whatever you have is okay! But no grape juice please. It just tastes like how I would imagine congealed blood to taste like. Not that I've drank congealed blood, but like sometimes you smell things and you just know-"

"YEAH! Totally Leah. Lemme just-"

"Yes." I nodded my head frantically, sweat cascading from my brows and my heart falling through the wooden floorboards.

I sighed as Conor headed into the kitchen, leaving only me and Danny.

"Hey are you okay?"

I sighed heavily again.

"Yes. No. No."

Danny chuckled softly.

"Then it'll be my pleasure to take you out to lunch tommorow."

Huh?

Did he just-

Did I just get asked out by-

Pasta. I needed pasta.
