“I tried to not agree when he asked me if he could privately speak with me, but it was hard, okay?” | snapped as I shrugged his hands off my shoulders, while feeling my cheeks get filled up with color.

“Want me to let you in on a little secret?” He suddenly said, and I was forced to glance at his face once again. Staring at him like this, with barely any space between us, was making it feel almost like there wasn’t enough air here in this room anymore, when the air conditioner is literally turned on.

“What’s that?” I finally muttered as I sucked in a deep breath, breathing in a lungful of his cologne.

Do you seriously think Marco isn’t aware that you still have feelings for him?” He asked without hesitation and I gasped, my eyes widening as my hands slapped over my face.

My breathing ceased in my throat at once, and I gaped at him.

“A- are you certain?” I whispered, feeling externally horrified at the probability that he might be aware of my true feelings.

“You just have to trust me in this situation, Addison.” He affirmed then continued before I could

respond.

“Good,” he stated, then he his hands moved from my shoulders to my face. He cupped my face for a few seconds, then he was pulling my face closer and my eyes were widening, my heart flying into my throat as he brought my face even closer to his face, like he was about to kiss

“W- we’re not in public…I began to whisper, but his forehead met mine, then his lips twitched.

“Relax, I’m not kissing you right now. I was about to say something”

“Good” I muttered, my breath still feeling labored to my own ears. His forehead against mine felt warm, and his breath fanned against my lips as he spoke.
