"But seriously, I would never fall in love with you."
"And what makes you say that, milady ?"
"You're definitely not my type" I say as a starter.
A lie. That was a fucking lie. I knew, despise the fact that Aidan can be very much annoying and mean, rude and even really dumb sometimes, he was indeed very much handsome and attractive. God was too good on him, he really got spoiled on his appearance. But I would never admit it, never.
"Oh, that's a shame that you really don't know how to lie. Sweetheart, I can see your eyes. They want me." he says leaning towards me, slowly. He is so tall compared to me, fuck.
"Do you think you're like some kind of a magician, to know what my eyes are asking for ?" I say to him, leaning forward while portraying in my mind a picture of Aidan, in an magician costume. What an hilarious vision.
"I don't need to be a magician to do so, I just know. But since you look so sure of yourself, why don't we try to find out the truth." he says smirking.
I look at him confused, whatever it is that he is thinking about, I sure know that it's not gonna be a good thing.
"What do you mean?" i ask doubtful
"What about a deal?" he pauses for a second and continues as I watch him frowning. "The deal is simple. Whoever between us falls in love with the other first and admit it, lose the deal. The one that doesn't, win."
[...]
A deal, huh ? He sure doesn't know how competitive I can be. He seems so sure and full of himself, I just want to crash that little self-confidence. There is no way I will fall in love with that jerk, it will never happen, right?
Oh god, I feel like that is gonna be a bad idea but I already made up my mind. There is no way back.
I will win and he will lose.
