Sensing what was running through her mind, Richmond decided to tease her a little bit.
"I hope you're not planning to throw up on me today."
"What! Goodness me...no!" Lola cupped her face with both hands and turned away. She wished the ground could just open and swallow her whole.
Richmond couldn't stop himself from laughing at Lola's cute reaction. Everything she did both consciously and unconsciously made her endearing to him. He moved closer to her and said in his deep sexy baritone voice.
"You don't have to feel embarrassed about anything, Lola. You were not feeling too well then and I understood what you were going through. Can you please, take your hands off your face and sit down so that we can talk."
Lola nodded her head and removed her hands from her face. She couldn't explain why she was blushing so hard like a teenager, in the presence of this enigmatic beauty.
