I guess I’m used to guys who only say things like that to me when they’re trying to take me home for the night. “You know I’m basically a sure thing, right? You don’t need to use your pretty words on me.” “No? What kind of words would you like me to use then?” “We don’t need to talk at all.” I step closer. His gaze drops to my lips, but he doesn’t kiss me.
