"Are you okay?" I asked again, since there was no response from earlier
This time, he blinked his eyes, shaked his head and I was no longer cupping his face.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me" he said
"But, i'm worried about you" I said honestly
"You shouldn't be" he said quickly
"But I am" I added quickly
"Then Don't!" He said sharply and I was taken aback.
"Derrick..."
"Just stop, okay?" He cut in
"The more you shut me out, the more I get a push to keep knocking" I said
He took in deep breaths, stared into space for a while and said.
"I hate that I care about what you think of me"
"Is that bad?" I asked
"Yeah" he answered
"How?" I asked again
"Because, I'm not one to give a fuck about what anyone thinks" he said and finally turned to look at me
"Why the hell are you all over my head" he added
I was lost of words.
His face began inching closer to me
The air feeling thick
And everything else spinning but his face which kept inching closer to me.
What is about to happen?
He was this close to touching my lips with his but his cheek brushed mine as he whispered into my ear.
"I can't do this to you." His voice thicker than usual
"You can't do what to me?" I asked my voice sounding strange like it was holding a heavy breath that finally escaped.
"Ruin you"he said as he laid back on his car seat.
His eyes closed and his hands on his forehead.
"Ruin me, how?" I asked, confused.
"Ruin your innocence and naivety" he said
"I'm not naive" I defended with a frown and my hands crossed as I looked straight ahead feigning upset
"Really?" He said and I sensed amusement in his tone
"Yes!" I replied with an eye roll
"Ever been to a night club?" He asked
"No" I answered
"Ever been with a boy before?" He asked
"Yes!" I replied like it was the dumbest question ever.
"Who?" He asked
"My brother and cousins" I said proudly
I heard a chuckle escape him but he acted like it was a cough.
Who does he want to fool?
"I mean boys who are not your relatives"he said
"Well... Yes, just one" I answered
"Who?"
"You"
I looked at him and noticed a smile creep up his lips.
"Ever gone to a party?" He asked
"No" I answered.
"Ever gone on a date?" He asked
