Stranger Danger!

RACHEL'S POV

I walk back to the seat, plopping myself back down with a visible expression that shows I am anything but happy to be back here with him. The grin on his face showed he delighted in my seething anger. The atmosphere between us was filled with a tense silence as we both exchanged glares with each other. 

Moments later, he pressed his eyes and shot as he burst out laughing. Clutching his hands to his sides as he tried to contain his laughter, 

"You should see the look on your face; it's hilarious! Relax; I'm just pulling your legs." 

A sense of relief immediately washed all over me, though I tried to disguise it by rolling my eyes and upholding an apathetic front. His laughter slowly subsided as he wiped away tears that gathered at the corners of his eyes and took in a deep breath with an alluring smile on his chiseled face. He reached out to me with a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you! I'm Maxim."
