CHAPTER 81

KRISTINA'S POV

I could see him trying not to grin, but failing miserably.

"Well… yes," I admitted.

Nathan gave me a pointed look, and continued in an unimpressed tone of voice.

"But if I didn't get to spend time with you now and then, I'd be all alone. So… you do want to do it?"

He smirked. I rolled my eyes, "It isn't like we have much else to do anyway–"

"Oooh, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. The way they talk so sweetly. Like, 'Hello, how may I help you?' and stuff."

"I'm not planning on doing any more dating than a friend, okay? Just hanging out and stuff."

I scowled. Nathan just laughed. Then he suddenly froze, looking over at me. His mouth formed a wide O as he looked back at the book that he had been studying. A few seconds passed before his expression changed completely. A small smile spread across his face as he started laughing loudly. I stared blankly at him. Nathan finally took notice of me again, and his expression switched from one of hilarity to one of concern.
