Chapter 45: Chocolates and Sweets

It was Ash, which made me raise an eyebrow.

I couldn't help but remember the kiss we shared as I stared at his lips. I didn't know why my focus shifted to his lips when that wasn't even what he asked me.

"No," I answered, looking away from him.

I pretended to be looking for something, but the truth is, I lost focus because of his presence. I hope he leaves soon. Even though he hadn't done anything yet, my heart was already pounding hard, and I didn't like it. "Harsh," he said, smirking. "Who are you looking for?"

"Mason," I lied.

His eyebrows furrowed at my answer, but I ignored him. I was more concerned about whether the other students were watching us, but fortunately, they weren't because they were focused on the concert. "Do you like him?" he asked in an irritated tone.

"No," I replied without thinking.

Is he crazy? Why would I like my own brother?

Oh, right, he doesn't know that. I shrugged at the thought.

"That's good to hear." He smiled widely at me as it boosted his confidence, making me roll my eyes. "Now, come with me."

"Where are you taking me?" I asked even though I already have an idea.
