034

Camille:

If it had been Daniel’s intention to make me speechless, he had succeeded.

My knees immediately felt weak and my eyes were screwed shut.

As if he hadn’t tormented me enough, he remained in the same position, his lips by my ear, but the rest of his body wasn’t touching any bit of mine.

“Is that why you went on this little adventure?” He asked. “Did you run out because you knew I’d come after you?”

I crossed my arms over my chest, with my closed eyes facing the floor, and tried to steady my breathing. I couldn’t walk away. He would simply pull me back and force me to listen to this speech of his. I didn’t know where he was going with this.

At least he had moved on from talking about our little make out session…

“I want to go to bed now,” I whispered, wrapping my arms around myself. Something about him by my side made me really self-conscious.

Silence.

I could imagine him watching me, but I couldn’t imagine the thoughts going on in his head while he did.
