The Guy She Never Knew She Wanted

I blushed again, my eyes failing to meet his. With his soft, dreamy eyes looking at me like he's staring right into my soul. Before this, I never had trouble holding eye contact with him. But now? I'm just blushing all the time, like the shy girl everybody perceives me to be.

I slowly turned and leaned my head on his as I touched his hand on my shoulder. "No, I don't want that. I just like you so much that I don't know what to do."
