“Okay.” My lip curls up into a smirk. She’s trying so hard to be serious right now, but the way she crosses her arms over her chest and purses her lips just makes her look even more adorable. A hint of a smile tugs at the corners of her mouth, and it only serves to make me grin wider. “Kaia, baby, will you please be my girlfriend?” “No,” she says simply, settling back onto the bed. My brows shoot up. “Excuse me?” “Ask me again later.” She tilts her chin, glancing away from me in a shoddy attempt to hide her smile. “Ask me again when it’s not an afterthought.” “Impossible. Fucking. Girl.”
