❛❛ stop staring at me and eat. ❜❜
Lyra blinks at the male, spoon already half raised towards her mouth. There’s a beat of silence before she stuffs the whole spoonful of rice into her mouth like a raging hungry lion, scarfing down her food but never keeping her eyes off the male as he typed on his computer.
“You’re pretty though. So you can’t blame me for liking to stare at you. You’re a better view than everyone else here.” She squatted on her seat, dishing yet another spoonful of rice into her mouth. “I like pretty views.” Her feet crossed each other lightly as she chewed on her food, voice muffled by her half filled mouth.
“And if you hadn’t drawn my attention to you, I wouldn’t have stared.” Lyra tilted her head slightly, reaching into her pocket for the packet of sweets she always kept on her person, the crinkle of sweet wrappers crackling through the air. “Want one? Its fruit flavoured. And pretty sweet.” Her fingers twist the candy wrapper quickly, the crinkle of it sharp and crackling as the orange coloured candy was unwrapped and revealed inside. The candy popped behind her lips, and Lyra gave it an experimental suck or two, a hum light on her lips. “Hm. Orange. I wanted strawberry.” She frowned down at the candy wrapper with a confused expression on her sweet features. “It said it was fruit flavoured but all the colours were the same…”Her voice trailed off as she stared at the candy wrapper with a slight squint, entirely absorbed in the sweet that had apparently robbed her of her desired flavour.
