Chapter 38

"He...." God that deer caught in the headlights blank stare is hilarious 

"You dropped something" 

"Excuse me.." he blinked once, twice, then like a flick of a switch he began patting his pockets erratically looking around him "....I did? What did I drop?" 

"Your jaw" I smiled making him pause his hand's air, he blinked again then burst into laughter grabbing his chest and wiping away a fake tear "....that bad?" I asked I knew I wasn't very good at this flirting thing so I expected this much from a lame pickup line 

"No...No..., That was clever, I wish I thought of it..." He composed himself as his laughter died down "....I'm sorry about that, staring I mean" 

"No worries, I put in the effort to look this good, your reaction was appreciated" That same blank stare with blinking eyes like a faulty bulb coming on and off was getting old ".... Shall we?" I walk past him pushing the open door leaving him to trail after me shutting it behind him
