Maybe she just means I'm looking at how everyone plays, while the rest of them just.. play. Yeah, that must be it. Hers had been a statement of fact, and that was it.
Good. "I thought so. No one likes to not be good, after all." Wow. What a dumb thing to say, Keef! Stop sabotaging yourself by being an idiot! He mentally told himself to relax and focused back on his task. His hand gripped a crumpled letter in his pocket. He opened his mouth to change the topic, but was completely distracted by her next action. His shoulders tensed and he sharply drew in a breath. His head twisted sideways to stare at his shoulder, but he couldn't see it through the mass of wavy gold that was blocking his view. The sight both paralyzed him and emboldened him.
He ignored what she had to say about Vindictus and Kimalia. It was now or never. Treyen had said to just go for it. Just be as straightforward as possible, he quoted to himself. He had read over Treyen's advice enough times to have it mostly memorized. Right, just do it.
"Kate, I like you. Will you go out with me sometime? On a date."
Short and simple, brief and to-the-point.
...and now an agonizing wait for an answer.
No, no one does. Keefer was right about that, of course. No further comments were made, however, because maybe he had some other news about what had happened on the Pitch? Yet no words were coming from him.
Kate had missed his reaction, mainly because her mind was too preoccupied with the fact that he still wasn't saying anything. Even a nod would've sufficed. Then again, if he'd nodded, she would've missed it too.
His breathing had changed. That much she noticed.
And then..., and then..., and then she was completely caught off guard. Her head was no longer on his shoulder, that's for sure, and her mind was having issues as it tried to make sense to her answer. One she should give him soon, right? The weird thing is, she already knew what her answer was, but she was speechless.
So, she'd been right about the kiss, then? That was why he blushed? Because he likes her? Kate was the one blushing now. There was even a smile on her face as her eyes found his. "Yes, of course." 'I like you, too' would've been a perfect reply too, but she couldn't bring herself to say that yet. Even if she felt the same way about him. |
