Impossible Ultimatum

Amused brown eyes peer at me and I fold my arms in mock anger suppressing the smile forming on my lips. ‘So you have time now right’, I couldn’t hold it back, a smile splits my face in two as seeing his familiar smile brought relief from my thoughts. When he keeps looking at me with his eyebrows raised I wave his question away, ‘Don't worry, I’m not murdering anyone just yet’, ‘Your hair', he points at my hair with his chin, ‘you let it down', ‘My hair band got lost in transition', I smoothen down my hair self conscious, ‘You look good', his eyes turn serious, ‘Thank you', I smile at the compliment. ‘No really, you look beautiful', an unreadable look stays fixed in his eyes, ‘Uhh, thanks?’, I feel a little confused as his fingers twitch on his desk over and over.
