I am in a trance as pick up the mug and bring it to my lips. Well, that is until its taste hits my mouth and I end up spitting the liquid out.

"That's disgusting. How do you even stand it?" I question, wiping my mouth.

For the first time, I hear Gabriel laugh. It's a deep and sultry laugh that does things to my body. The kind of laugh that makes you forget your name. Am I the only one who finds laughs attractive? He shrugs his shoulders, "It's something you acquire a taste for over time. It's not for everyone."

It's like I've lost my damn voice, so instead I just nod my head. I'm still stuck on the fact that Gabriel laughed. His laugh then turns into a beautiful genuine smile. One that I have never seen before. It's captivating and part of me hates that it captivated me.
