"That wasn't awkward at all." he speaks up, I look at him and playfully role my eyes. "My god, rich old people are so judge mental, I swear." I say as l lean closer to whisper it to him so the old people in general, don't hear.
"Eh more like any old person, not just the rich ones." He whispers as he leans in closer, us now being inches apart.
I watch as his eyes go down to my lips. I feel my cheeks heat up and my heart start rapidly beating in my chest at the distance between us. He looks back up into my eyes, I practically faint right there.
But I shouldn't feel this way, I hate him.
Wanting to break this insane tension I lean back into my chair.
