As soon as Christopher started to laugh at her nickname for him she let loose a grin and laughed with him. She had to admit, what she had said bordered on the absurd and that much was a hundred percent positive. Why had she even said that?
When the laughter died down she chuckled short of breath, "Yes I did call you that, slowpoke Sebastian. I think that I will be calling you that for a while." Yep, she settled on that. New nickname? She thought so.
Then her blood boiled. Did he seriously JUST call her that? Besides the fact that her face was most likely the color of a freshly ripe tomato, she was in shell shock. Never in her life had anyone ever referred to her as that and not only was it wildly embarrassing but it was annoying. Leave it to Christopher to elevate things. Her mind was swimming with a millions thoughts but the only thing she could make out in her mind was the single, coherent though to lunge at him... so she did.
Laughing again, this time with her, Christopher grinned.
"Slowpoke Sebastian. Well, it's certainly an interesting nickname. I guess I'll just have to learn to love it!" The thing was, even though he was joking, they were also both so serious about it! There was not a single doubt in his mind that Selina would be calling him slowpoke Sebastian for at least a few months, and he had no doubt that he'd have to get used to it.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Christopher felt a force push into him, causing him to stumble backwards. It seemed that Selina had been shoved into him by someone hurriedly passing and accidentally knocked her over.
"Ow, Selina, are you okay? What happened?" he asked, not suspecting that she had purposefully lunged at him. He could be pretty naive sometimes.
