ERROT

Adan and I are currently on the conference room, all alone. My cheek feels like it was lit on fire. My skin is burning and it stings.

It stings so much I'm resisting the urge to touch it.

I'm pretty sure I'm making random faces of pain right now since Adan is laughing next to me.

"Yeah. Hilarious. I can't stop laughing." I said, giving him my coldest poker face.

"Don't be such a drama queen it was just a scratch. " Adan said amused.

"Oh and If I punch you in the face and break your nose, it will be just a punch right?"

"Draaaama." Adan rolled his eyes playfully. "So dramatic, Errot. I'm literally dying of how dramatic this is. Cotton candy barely touched your cheek with his knife and you're acting like it's the end of the fucking world."

"Will you stop calling him cotton candy? It's cringey and disgusting and it doesn't suit him at all. He's not sweet. He's not even bittersweet. "

"So he's just bitter?"

"Totally."

"You know. Sometimes. Bitter things still taste good."

I'm pretty sure my eyes got wide at that, goosebumps taking over my whole body.

Adan burst out laughing.

"I don't wanna know. I really, really have no desire of knowing. "

"Awe jealous?" He pouted.

I frowned. "Of what?"

His face fell but he looked like he struggled not to smile. He sighed. "I'm very disappointed, Errot. I thought we had something."

"Exactly. You thought. "

"Damn. " He placed a hand over his heart, dramatically.

"I don't like you. " I said while trying to keep myself serious.

"Double damn. "

I pressed my lips into a thin line, a smirk threatening to reveal itself.

"Aren't you out of bullets yet?"

I failed. "Shut up. Who's being dramatic now?"

He shrugged. "If we didn't match we wouldn't smash. "

I blinked. "did it take long for you to come up with this?"

"It's my best pick up line" He winked

"If that's your best, I'm deeply sorry for the people you've dated."

"At least I've dated people. " He said amused.

That hurt.

"Like that Tristian guy?"

Adan paused. I've never seen him turn completely serious and I seriously didn't think it was possible.

But now he's in front of me, his eyes stone cold and his face tight.

That lasted for only a couple of seconds and if I wasn't paying enough attention, I wouldn't have caught it.

"Who told you I dated Tristian?" He finally said, calmer than before.

His eyebrows were raised playfully.

"Your reactions every time he's mentioned?"

"Look kid, that guy? A big no-no. He's ..he was...he is.."
