He just swatted my hands away and glared at me. "I like to irritate you a lot!" I said smiling ear to ear. And there was this very micro smile on his face which he was trying to hide but ofcourse his beautiful dimples were visible. And damn! I would be lying if I say they don't affect me. "Will you let me talk? Or are you going to continue this?" He said trying to glare at me. Keyword- trying. Because he was trying hard to hide his smile. "Ohh come on! Just smile, now. I won't fine you for smiling." I said and he smiled and shook his head.

“Stop smiling, Cassandra! This isn’t funny!” I ended up grimacing and then, pouted. The tough look on his face softened a bit. He threw his head back with a groan, looking so done with me. Amused, I bit my lower lip to hide the smile tugging at my lips. I couldn’t believe that I was smiling during such a situation. When he glanced back at me, I quickly sucked both my lips inside my mouth to hide the amusement which was pretty much apparent on my face. Shaking his head, he looked to the side for a moment, hiding the faint smirk playing across his lips before he faced me with a serious look on his face.

I’m done. That’s it. I’ve hit peak humiliation.” And still—still—he hadn’t spoken. But he was smiling now. Not a full smile. Not the kind you’d see in portraits or ballroom mirrors. It was subtle. Hidden in the corner of his mouth. Like the ghost of amusement had whispered something in his ear, and he was trying very hard not

“Now your smile has grown dimmer.” "You wear your heart on your sleeve and let everyone trample over it." "He made you that way", he exhibited such soulful mourning it made my head spin. “No, Adam, my smile didn’t get dim. It just grew real,” I said, trying to steady the tremor that kept wanting to become sobs.

I smile because I’m happy, not because I’m hiding everything under a mask.”

I adjusted uncomfortably in my seat, pouting slightly. His eyes narrowed and I quickly smiled at him. “since we're not hiding, might as well put on a smile. People are beginning to look” I whispered, smiling at him. “I don't have to smile, Miss Thompson. I'm not quite known for…smiling. I have a reputation to protect anyways…” he said casually, sipping the cup of iced Americano on the table.

“How can it be bad? But even good can’t describe it alone…” Covering his face with one of his hands, I can see how he was smiling behind it. “Why are you hiding like that? Just like I thought, it is not good at all…” I pouted as I acted as if I was feeling bad, but in fact, I was just messing around with him and I knew he knows it too. Seeing how he has a complicated look on his face, now I feel bad. I giggle as I burst out laughing. Hah, this pure guy in front of me…
