Chapter 5 - Handsome You
I watched as Elliot chatted away with the cute brunette.
I watched her eyes, the way her lips curved into a frown of displeasure.
She didn't seem to be falling for El's charm.
That means that she doesn't just have eyes, she has a mind as well.
I watched as El finally tapped on the table, asking the bartender for something, before gesturing towards our table.
This will be finished quicker than I expected.
I leaned back, my hand touching my glass before lifting it to my lips.
I heard the clack, clack, clack of her heels and suddenly, a shift in reality made me look up and meet her eyes.
Her soft face wore an unpleasant frown, and her arms were crossed not to push up her bréasts but in an act of anger.
She didn't want to be here.
Why doesn't she want to be here?
I watched as she finally broke eye contact, her cheeks brushing the slightest red while her thighs became closely clamped together.
From a distance, she looked cute enough but right here? In front of me?
She looks like the most delicious thing on the menu.
Darn it, and El got to see her like this before me?
Elliot Smith
Introduce yourself, come on now.
I feel like I'm on a date with my mom.
I went to open my mouth but she stopped me.
Stella Quinn
Why bother with introductions when we aren't going to spend more than a few minutes together?
El tricked her into coming over here.
Seems like she doesn't hold him in that high of a regard.
There was just silence after that.
The girl kept to herself, keeping her eyes away from me.
Where was the feisty girl I had seen with El?
Now, she just seems bored.
Why is that hurting my pride?
Elliot Smith
I'll... see what's holding up your drink.
Stella Quinn
You go do that.
El got up, shot his professional smile, and disappeared behind the counter.
Stella Quinn
I'd suggest changing wingman.
Stella Quinn
I don't think that your guy knows how to "romance" a lady.
Roma Castona
Do you enjoy being romanced?
Stella Quinn
I believe that every man who decides to romance me is either deaf, dumb, or blind.
Why is she downplaying herself? Sure, she's not the most attractive woman according to society's standards, but I'm sure that she'd be some guy's top pick.
Or perhaps this is a trap, and she's waiting for me to tell her how attractive she is.
Stella Quinn
Yes. Either they don't hear that I'm not interested, don't see that I'm not interested, or are too dumb to realise that I'm not interested.
I chuckled, realising how she had played that.
She wasn't downplaying herself, she was valuing herself.
I watched her jolt when I introduced myself. She frowned.
Stella Quinn
Seems like you're deaf.
Roma Castona
A few of many.
Perhaps I could get something out of this.
She looked up at me, and finally looked at me in the eye. The background music slowly faded away as I saw her cutely bite her bottom lip.
I want to bite that bottom lip. I wonder, would she whimper if I did it? Or would she look at me with those innocent doe eyes and flutter them.
Stella... the cute little brunette is called Stella.
