Steady attraction

I find myself staring into her eyes. And for the first time, I don't look away.

I just hold my breath as her beautiful dark brown eyes search mine, a concerned look on her face.

"You sure I'm not making you uncomfortable again?"
She whispers.

I don't know if it's the fact that she seems to genuinely be concerned about me or the way the light is dancing across her eyes, but I end up blurting out,
"You're real pretty, Irie."

She seems very surprised for a long moment.

"Oh, um...thank you."
She whispers.

I just bite my lip, my eyes settling on hers.

I'll bet she's an amazing kisser. My toes curl at just the thought of making out with her.

"You're very welcome. You should wear your hair like that more, it looks nice."
I continue.

She slowly touches one of her little curls.

"Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?"
She seems flustered.

Hmm.

I shrug.

"I'm always nice to you."
I point out.

"You're so sweet, Adrian."

I roll my eyes when she starts pinching my cheek. I hate it when she does that.

...I love it, let me shut up.

"Yeah, whatever. Come on, let's get to class before Brawler throws a fit."
I grumble even though I'm not particularly irritated.

In fact, this has been the best month of my life and it's definitely all because of her.
