“Why are you laughing?”
“Because you’re funny.”
He winces.
“I’m not funny. I’m ruthless.”
“Yes, dear,” I say before walking back to him and lifting him over my shoulder.
The same blazing inferno blasts inside me like the last time I touched him, making my steps heavier as I walk across.
I put him down once we’re clear of mud. The inferno snaps.
So. Weird.
“There we go, Princess Bae.”
He stares at me with pouty lips, then, as if he remembers himself, grimaces.
“I hate you,” he says.
“That’s okay.” I laugh. “I’ll win you over.”
His cheeks go red. I’m not sure why. I always win people over. Or, at least, that’s how I won my friends over. And Bob, who, up until today, I thought hated me. But no. When he found out I was engaged, he looked too heartbroken for someone who hates me.
“Why do you always smile? It’s annoying.”
I shrug.
“I can’t help it.”
He rolls his eyes.
“Why? How is that possible?”
“Because I can’t. I was born happy. Haven’t cried a day in my life.”
“That’s sad.”
“Maybe. But it’s my power, so I can’t really control it.”
“Your power? What is your power? To be happy?”
I usher us out of the alley and onto the main street so I can hail a cab.
“Pretty much. I always see the positive in everything.”
“Really?” He hooks an eyebrow to the skies. “What’s the positive about your current predicament?”
A cab stops, and I open the door for him.
“I get to know you,” I tell him.
