"Anyway, Mia… Do you like me?"
My eyes blink multiple times as my hands suddenly tremble and striving to look elsewhere to avoid his gaze but I can't as if there's a magnet into his gaze that I can't look away.
It seems that he hypnotizes me to his gaze when trying to get a response to his sudden question. But what I hate is I can't answer him since I… I don't want this to stop.
Wait. I don't know our status. Is he my friend? Acquaintance? But still, I can't let that happen. He's now important to me and even if I just met him like a month ago.
I infer that he's not going to avert me since he can pretend whenever I'm around. He's an actor for Pete's sake but what about me?
"Mia? Are you okay?"
I startle when hearing his voice as he pokes my cheeks, getting my attention but I shove his finger away from my cheeks, leaning my chin into my palm whilst my elbow touches the table.
"You don't need to answer my question, Mia."
