Drake took his time to process those words. He didn't know what to believe. He wouldn't lie to himself that he had it figured out. He gulped.
Not only was he waiting to try to understand what she had said. Also, he was patient. Waiting, probably she would take it back.
This wasn't a wish. He was seriously and sincerely waiting for her to break into a sort of laugh and say,
"Look at how serious you are. I was only joking."
Right? Wasn't that the right thing to anticipate? But it seemed as though she wouldn't take those words back.
The reaction which followed those words was quite puzzling too. She kept an eye contact with him. He traced the beautiful curves of her face. He was keen on bringing out a sort of fault... something which probably would go along with what he was expecting.
When he realized that she wasn't going to say anything, he was forced to speak,
"You don't mean what you just said. You were joking right?"
