Mina was standing in the crowd of men and women surrounding the stage, but her attention was fixed on the beauty of the smile of the man next to her. Oric's teeth were perfectly straight and so white that they seemed to sparkle. He looked like a model, and she wondered from which part of the globe his family hailed. The man had flawless brown skin and long hair that was dark and wavy. He had it neatly tucked behind his ears and it showed off his muscular jaw line.
"You know, if you keep staring…" Oric allowed his statement to trail off, and Mina retracted her gaze.
"Sorry, I was just trying to guess where your family is originally from," Mina said.
"My parents are from two different countries," Oric offered and Mina nodded. She felt that she could now tell that Oric was multiracial, but originally, she had thought he was from a tropical island. "Why are you staring now?" Oric asked, realizing that Mina was still studying his face. Mina blushed in embarrassment.
