The Attraction Is Strong

Hershey took a deep breath and finished his lunch with Derek. As much as she tried to focus, she couldn't help but hope that Marco Fernando Jr. would be okay. I hope he will be okay. She listened until Marc's name fell from her lips. This caused her to pause in her thoughts.

Her attention was focused on what Derek was saying a while ago, "...and with the clothes he wears, you could tell he grew up here, I mean with that accent, he can't be from another place."

Derek turned his gaze to Hershey, "You actually went out with him?"

Hershey frowns, "What's wrong with him?"

"He doesn't seem like your type, that's all."

"What do you mean, Derek?"

"You know, he is..." Derek racked his brain for a word to describe him but came up empty. "I don't know. He doesn't even look like your type. His clothes are not fashionable and what about his hair? The creepy eyes."

Hershey smiled, "Are you jealous of him, Derek?"
