"So this is what you blew me off for?" I heard a deep sexy voice whisper in my ear from behind, I turned around and came face to face with James, he smelled like vanilla and mint, a weird combination but it smelled delicious.
"I came here with someone," I replied looking up at him through my long black eyelashes.
"Your boyfriend?" he asked but it sounded more like he was stating it to himself. I could see a strange look in his eyes, it looked kind of like a mixture between sadness, anger and jealousy.
"No my best friend," I scoffed, "i don't have a boyfriend,"
"For some reason don't believe that," he questioned with a look of relief in his eyes.
"Why not?"
"I don't believe that that is possible for someone as beautiful as you," he said, "the boys must be falling at your feet.
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr Cooper," I said as i turned around and walked away, making sure to sway my hips in the process.
