"Oh. It's you" I grumbled as I stared at Miro but I was glad my voice was back. "What? Expecting your boyfriend?"

My face heated up at his words. "He's not my boyfriend."

My mouth dropped open as I stared at his amused smile. "I do. I'm not that kind of girl" I rolled my eyes.

Miro rsked, sucking his teeth. "There you go again with that nasty habit of yours."
