After Gabrielle left the room, I turned to Hailey and walked forward to the edge of her desk. Sitting on the edge, I looked at her and got straight to the point. "So, am I crazy? Or did you try to kiss me earlier?"
Hailey's heart was beating furiously. This was it, there was no going back now. This wasn't how she planned it, she still wanted more time, but the universe never plays fair. With a deep breath, she swallowed down her nerves and nodded her head. "Yes. I tried to kiss you. I felt something in the moment and went for what I wanted."
My eyebrows raised slightly, honestly I was still expecting some misread on my part, but she actually wanted to kiss me? That was surprising. "And you wanted me at that moment? Can I ask why? I don't mean to offend you or anything, but I thought you only saw me as a friend up until now. I'm going to be honest, I was taken aback by the sudden attempt at intimacy."
