"What are you thinking about?" Enzo says stepping over to sit next to me.
"Huh" I remark and glance at him.
"When you're thinking about something, you scrunch your nose up and tighten your brows. But you're also biting your lips, so it must be something serious, or are you nervous?" He says, and I just stare at him, shocked.
"Am I that easy to read?" I inquire, and he laughs.
"Not when you're on your period or when you're hungry. Can't tell whether you like me or want to kill me." He says and I laugh and hit his shoulder.
"Am I that bad?" I say
"Uh, yeah. I feel like if I don't have a sandwich made in 15 seconds when your moody, I'll be in deep shit." He says.
"Stop, you're making it seem like I'm some bad person," I say this and shove him away from me; he chuckles.
He takes my hips and places me on his lap, forcing me to straddle him while I wrap my hands around his neck and look up at him. "You are not a horrible person; you are someone I sincerely care about and would go to any length for. And by anything, I mean anything. If you want me to jump off a cliff to grab your favorite sunglasses, I will."

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her.
My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in."
"And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would."
