I looked at Rojin waiting for him to tell me it was a prank. Why does he want to try it with me when a few years back I told him about my feelings he laughed it out. He made fun of me. Now, he wants to try.
"Kaisa," he called bringing me back.
"Do you need time to think about it?"
"I think so," I replied.
I lied to him that I needed time. I didn't want to try and let him humiliate me time and again. Jessica wouldn't leave a chance to mock me. Rojin's demeanor changed.
"Take your time," he said.
Rojin cleared his throat and then walked out of the room.
That night he didn't talk much. He whispered goodnight once he was inside the blanket on the couch.
His words lingered in my head preventing me from sleep. It was 2 in the morning. I got out of bed and went to sit on the floor. I watched him sleep.
