Chapter 4 Teaser

Oh boy! Annie has to deal with the aftermath...

Chapter four of Your True Colors will be up this weekend.

Thanks for all the follow/fave/review-love you showed me!

It means so much to me...

Here's your teaser:

“So may I sit... please?”

I waved my hand in resignation. “It's a free country...”

“Thank you.” he said and avoiding any contact, slowly maneuvered his long legs past my knees and sat himself down in front of me. Highly irritated at this point, I watched him as he took his time to carefully arrange his book and joke of a backpack in a neat heap on the seat to his right.

Then he looked up.

The way his emerald eyes pierced into mine was nerve wracking. He almost never seemed to blink. Besides that, he was scandalizingly beautiful. We'd never been that close – well, not in daylight anyway. My stupid heart considered this to be the perfect time to break into a mild gallop.

          Get a grip, woman!

“So,” I said, trying to keep my composure. 

“What are we going to do now?”

He barely raised one eyebrow. “Talk?” 

The question mark was audible.

“Look,” I said, trying to sound a little less annoyed. “As I already tried to tell you, I really don't think this,” I flitted my hand between us a few times, “is necessary or good in any way. You assured me it wouldn't be any different, remember? Let's just keep it that way, ok?”

He took a deep breath. “I was wrong.”

          Great!

You didn't really think pretending nothing had happened would be that easy, did you?
