“No, it doesn’t,” she responded. “It makes you look like a wildman.” A frown was seen on her face. Gaston with a beard, Now that was a disgusting thought (for her). She couldn’t imagine him like that. But without a beard? Even horrid! “You should stick with your stubble, for now. I can’t imagine you any other way!” she said.
“I know, from the beginning, I said we should stop. I’m glad you agree with me.” That annoyed Aphro. That was not what she had meant. Well, not exactly. “What? That’s not what I-” she paused and held her forehead and sighed. Arguing with him was hopeless. “Nevermind. That’s exactly what I said!” she said in a sarcastic tone, subtly rolling her eyes. She noticed him staring into her eyes. “What are you… doing?” she asked in a soft voice, totally captivated by his gorgeous ice-blue eyes.
She liked his arm around her waist. It felt… nice. If Gaston stopped being a jerk to Aphro, he wouldn’t be so bad. She didn’t want to admit it, but she had started liking him. She didn’t want her feelings for him to become serious. She knew if that happened, things would get worse. Gaston didn’t like Aphro like that, pfft no. Maybe it was time she stopped spending too much time with him. It was for the best. She slowly pushed his hand away, hoping that he wouldn’t notice. (who’s she kidding? he probably did)
“We can watch a movie, how about that?” he asked her. “What?” she looked very confused. “You want us to watch a movie…?” she asked slowly. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Are you- are you alright? I could bring you some water, maybe?” she was genuinely concerned. Was he sick? Probably.
