"For one, Giulia is missing again."

Brandon was taken aback. "Well, damn."

I gave him a quizzical look. "Well, damn? That's what you have got to say?" I scoffed, crossing my arms under my chest, turning to face him fully.

"Uh... " His casual smile slipped away at my seething stare. He looked around, avoiding my gaze, maybe looking for a way out, but I held my ground. I raised my eyebrows, waiting for a reply. His mouth opened, and then closed, trying to formulate an excuse. "Well, damn... That's a pity! You didn't let me complete my sentence."

I rolled my eyes and snorted. With all the influence, Brandon might just get better than me with the excuses, but not this time.

Brandon pouted. His hand rubbing his jaw line as he contemplated on my offer. "Hmm, what will I get in return?"

"In return?"

"Give and take. If we're negotiating I should get something in return."

"Oh. How about... " I pondered. Brandon nodded, eager for me to complete the sentence. The look he was giving me was too obvious. Still inside the corner space of the bathroom, I decided to play with him. I started again, widening my eyes, and acting innocent. "Kiss..."
