You Really Like Me?

"So you really do like me?" Lalum asks, as she runs at full speed towards Roy. His eyes widen as she jumps into his unsuspecting arms, and he catches her.

"AHHH!"

"Thank you so much Roy! I feel much better now that you've said that!" She leans closer to him, holding his neck with her arms, and rests her head on his shoulder.


Various thoughts float through Roy's head as he still holds Lalum in his arms.

She's a foreigner... and a dancer no less! This definitely can't be a good idea! ...What would the people say if I actually pursued this?

He examines her for a minute, taking note of numerous things.

Like her clothes, for instance. Her pants are basically see-through! Her midriff is exposed. And her... hmm... I should not be staring at those. Why did she have to lean so close to my face?...

He forces himself to look away.

And yet... maybe I'm only reluctant about this because she's just so... different from anyone else I've ever thought about... in that way, like Lilina, Sue, or Sophia. She's so energetic, and she really is refreshing sometimes... when she's not jumping on me. And I've never noticed before... but her skin feels really nice...

He looks directly at Lalum now, and she leans even closer to him. He smiles.

Well... maybe I do like her.

Author's Notes

Sometimes I wonder what the heck goes through my mind whenever I write. Why do I always have to put in something awkward? (Naughty thoughts, anyone?)

Doesn't matter. It's still cute.
