[i]Oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no[/i]

The instant he had that smug look on his face she cursed herself yet again. She just had to go and open her big mouth, didn't she? Gods, she really was stupid! A fool! An idiot! She let out a small sigh of relief, though, as she finally felt like she could breathe. For whatever reason she had held in her breath, as if she was waiting for something else (Something else?! Like what?!) aand was glad to finally release it. She couldn't even muster any sort of comeback or denial, she felt absolutely flabbergasted. Of course, it didn't end there, as she had hoped (had she? or did she want something else...? What?! No! What was she thinking?!) as he once more got close. Bells and whistles and sirens and alarms went off in her head. Like super close. His whisper sent a chill down her spine, and she could feel her face turning red again.

"[b]Wh-what--I just--Th-that is to say...wh-what I mean--b-but--[/b]" He was so close, her heart was beating so fast, and it seemed anytime he was this close she had apparently lost the ability to speak in complete sentences. Her eyes briefly flickered to his lips (why exactly did she even look there?!) and she tried (very much so) so regain her composure. He was just teasing. That's all. And yet she couldn't stop herself.
