It was the first time for Zander to fumble for what he should do in a certain situation. He kept looking at Odessa in the eyes even though he knew that his face was already red. It was a good thing that Odessa was no better.
She gave him an awkward smile, which he still found cute. He knew that he should say something to dispel the air of awkwardness surrounding them. Even the sharp-tongued Odessa was lost for words. But, both of them knew they should do something about their situation.
"I…" Both of them uttered at once.
Again, complete silence took over. None of them would dare speak another word. But, the awkward atmosphere must end.
"I…" Both of them spoke simultaneously.
The uncomfortable feeling that they felt earlier was finally dismissed. Both of them laughed as they held hands. Zander held up Odessa's hand to his lips and kissed it. Odessa blushed anew, but she did not mind.
