"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I said as I sat down
"I don't know, you just seem upset all the time"
"I promise, I'm fine." I gave her a reassuring look
"Okay, I believe you"

AN ADORABLE SOUL (BOOK ONE)
"We need to talk, Alisha!" When I said those words she immediately looked up and her expression told that she wanted to be five feet under the ground which made me smirk at her behavior. "W-what talk?" I heard her ask while I walked up to her and sat down on the couch right in front of her which eventually made her lean in towards the couch trying to avoid me, however, I took a grip on her wrist so she couldn't move any further. "Avoiding me, aren't you?" I asked her while she tightens her grip around the comforter even more. "I- I am n-not avoi-avoiding any-anyone" She said stuttering. "Anyone but me" I stated holding the side of her face stroking her cheek and that was when she took a hold of my wrist to remove my hand, however, she didn't look me in the eyes. "I-I am n-not" she whispered looking at her lap. "You are!" I stated, placing my hand on the side of her waist. She shook her head and said "I am n-not" "Are you sure?" I whispered in her ear before placing my forehead against hers and she pulled away and nodded immediately "Y-yes" trying to back away however I stopped her and moved in towards her. "Then why aren't you looking me in the eyes?" I asked her the tricky question which she wouldn't be able to answer.Complete
