Rae’s POV
Our class was very much different the the last and this time, Erik didn’t touch me otr approached me a lot. In fact, he hardly looked at me.
One could think it would be easier for me, since his presence and proximity would make me nervous, but I realized that I prefered him around me, rather than distant. I was having a very hard time concentrating.
“Are you listening to me?” He had a worried look on his face. My mind was wandering, again, thinking about the time when we went to the ice cream shop and he held me, preventing me from being hit by a car. Those eyes, so green and his muscled chest… oh, no. ‘Stop, Raelyn!’. I had to keep my mind clear. “Seems like you are not.”
“I’m sorry! I…” I tried to explain myself, but, what was I going to tell him? That I was daydreaming about him? That I wanted him to touch and to cherish me? I wanted him to… Kiss me.
“I think you must be too tired, because you are completely distant from me.” He was looking at the desk.
