Alaia lifted her face a little bit, surprised and confused if she heard Maria right. "What did you say?"
Maria contemplated if she would say the question again, just pretend that she didn't say anything at all, or say something else. It just slipped out of her lips and she really didn't mean to ask for it, but since she had already started, she just decided to get it done.
"Your birthday. I'm asking when your birthday was." Maria uttered in a low voice, biting her lower lip hard and looking away from Alaia.
Alaia sat up straight, tilting her head. "My birthday? Why are you suddenly asking that?"
Maria mentally cursed in frustration. Why can't she just answer my question? Why does she need to ask me why?
"I-I just want to know. Just answer my question." Maria asked, slowly getting annoyed.
Alaia elicited a soft amused laugh, "But that was so random. I didn't expect you to ask that question in the middle of sexual intercourse."
