She pulled back, stroking ertips "Poor baby Glad you’re feeling better," she whispered, s mine

"I need to talk to you," I said My eyes flicked back to her mother and I tried not to react at the hateful expression she was shootingme towards the door As she turned in her hted itself to a polite smile like she always put on when so to the fridge

Her eyes widened slightly before she looked down at her drink, looking a little flustered "Yeah fine"

I gulped and sat down next to her, trying not to let the scent of her hair affect me She always used the most beautiful scented vanilla scented shampoo; I swear the smell of it would killher reactions
