THOUGHTS OF him flood her mind -- his stupid smile, his incredibly long eyelashes, the way the corners of his eyes crinkle when he laughs. it’s unavoidable. she had promised herself she wouldn’t let this go too far... she knew it wouldn’t end well for her silly heart, but she couldn’t help it. every time he touched her it was as if a million butterflies were set loose inside her belly, even the slightest of glances that were cast her direction making round cheeks burn up in flames. “ he’s so perfect, ” voice came out dreamy and dozed off, chin resting atop her palm as chocolate hues took in the sight of him. “ don’t you just want to cry when you look at him ? ”
