I shake slightly. I can't tell if it's the nausea from being on the boat or the feeling that comes from Hayden simply being around me that's causing my body to react this way. "Because I saw you come in alone." He answers with a low voice. I notice for the first time that there are no traces of an accent, not even a little bit. Now is not the time to ask him where he's from, my subconscious reminds me. "Why did you follow me though?" I can't stop shaking and I'm scared that he'll be able to notice. "You're alone." he leans down on the bed and places his hands on both sides of my thighs. He's so close now, his breath warm against my skin. "And... what does that have to do with you?" I try to stay calm and confident like I was with him earlier but that strength melts away every time I look into his eyes. They're so blue and so beautiful, causing some sort of spell on me. "I didn't think you should be." his voice is quiet and seductive. How is it possible that his voice is so attractive? I have a feeling in my gut that he's going to kiss me. If he does, then all the repercussions will come back to haunt me later; having to tell Maya that I kissed the one person she told me to avoid. Though shouldn't I be doing what I want to do if what I want to do feels right? .....I'm not sure. He parts his lips, the cut from the first night I met him is still visible on his full, pink lips. He is going to kiss me.
