Chapter 91: Truant {4}
"I’m worried about him"
"Good, because that is what I needed to hear" she proceeds to apply the red gloss on her plump lips, I really see no need why she should, her lips were perfect but I figured this was her sense of fashion, everything about Emma was a sense of fashion that left the other girls and guys breathtaking, does she have a boyfriend? I bet she got tons.
I pictured Dace’s over-protectiveness, and I shook my head. I don’t think that will happen with Dace around.
"And you’re doing it again..." I locked eyes with her in the mirror. "...Spacing out"
"S-Sorry been doing a lot of that lately," I said with a blush, maybe I was doing it to take my mind off the disaster around me.
She huffed. "You know..." she began closing the lid and popping her lips before locking eyes with me. "I like you...because you’re dumb"
"Excuse me?" I said flicking my eyes multiple times like I heard wrong, she smirks, she fucking smirks after calling me dumb.
"Dumb in the sense of wanting to be with someone you can’t handle"
My heart skipped a beat.
"I have lived 150 years Emma, and I have never seen a human as dumb as you"
Did she just say 150 years? That was the same age as Dace, I thought Dace was older. Or focus on the fact that she just called you dumb, that was more mind piercing, there was a limit to some things.
