He doesn’t look like a science geek today; he looks like he could be on a team He’s fit, that much is obvious, and not just froht when I was in his kitchen, eating his leftovers, doing my best not to notice how fit he is

A girl can look, can’t she?

I watch hi

His smile is…

Wide and friendly, and the girl at the counter dips her head, e down on her bottolance or two

Yeah, he’s pretty darn cute

Iand interested Which I’m not

Because I’m on a break

I feel a certain kind of atching Roirl at the counter I know he’s just ordering us soet flustered in his presence ? He’s totally oblivious to her, but I know he’s shy around girls—I know this because when I winked at hiht he dropped the box, he dropped it because I was flirting and it flustered hiuy who does that is not overly confident when it comes to the opposite sex

His phone rings on the table, and I see that it’s his mother

MOM it says across the screen, a selfie of Ro up the screen She’s a little shorter than he is, and he’s standing with his ar like the Rolasses, short hair, and an aard pose

His ht vibrant smile and blonde hair

The call disconnects and his screen goes black

It only takes a few ers down along with a few napkins, a few packets of ketchup, and two knives

“Thank you, Roracious of him to pay; he needn’t have

“You’re welcome”

Is he blushing? Looks like it

Unwrapping his burger, he cuts it in half and politely picks up one side, gingerly taking a bite I watch hi the same

His phone rings again

Rolances down at it and raises his brows; he doesn’t answer the call from his mother

This is the second ti What if there’s an eency? Surely he sees the call from before

It’s killing me not to point it out Just in case “That’s the second ti to be nosey, but it rang while you were getting us lunch—I just don’t want you to ency”
