Tara's POV
My gaze was hard on his and I still tried to process what he had meant by that. How could he just reject me like that??
"I'm sorry, but I can't have anything romantic with you. I should leave now,"
I stopped him, holding on to his strong arms like a little girl. "Wait wait, stop! Hey," being really taller than I was, I had to stand firm and tilt my head upwards to look into his eyes. "Why? What's going on?"
He let go of my hand and created a distance between us, that was when I sighed disappointedly. Just when I was starting to look at him as a man, "it's okay. You can tell me you're not attracted to ladies. I can understand."
Arlo scoffed, his face dissolving into a smile. "Oh you're so cute, aren't you?" I flashed a warning glance at him but he just smiled even more. "Sunflower, I love girls. Please, I'm not gay, okay?"
Then why aren't you interested in me! I nearly screamed my thoughts out loud.
