What was he doing here, how did he know about me? My father directed for me to come in, which I did hesitantly. His eyes roved over my thin frame, landing back on my face once again. I was frozen in place, my hands knitted together.
"I was not expecting to see you here, after our previous conversations." His words danced around in the air, fishing for a response. My brain wracked for what to say, but once again came up empty. How did Conrad have such an affect on me.
"I Well, um." I struggled with my words, still not able to form in my brain, he stood there expectantly, his blue ocean eyes studying me, to him I was a puzzle he needed to solve, a game that had no rules.
"Come on now, it's not that hard to speak, I'm sure you know what got you in here." I hadn't even realized I had nodded, until his eyes lit up with joy that he had gotten an answer out of me. "So you do know then, continue."
I needed to think fast, if I said I missed curfew then they would question me about what I was doing. I could make something up I suppose. "I missed curfew." I stated simply, my father's eyebrow raising.
"And what were you doing?" My father pressed. His cool eyes turned on me. I looked away, Conrad's gaze blazing through my back. I tucked my hands into the pockets of my dress, words bouncing around in my mind.
"I was, well I got hurt," I beat around the bush, my stomach was sinking lower and lower, blood rushing to my brain. Every inch of my body was on edge, and I felt as though I might fall.
"There is more to it then that, you can leave, I think I might have a conversation between just Drew and I," Conrad declared, a ghost of a smile falling onto his face as my father vanished from the room.
"About what," I questioned, taking a seat at one of the patted chairs. Conrad lingered Behind me, I didn't dare look him in the eye.
"I'm pretty sure I can get it out of you," he stated, my breath hitched, when I felt his hands brush my shoulders. Butterfly's danced around in the spot where his hands had just been. "It shouldn't be that hard."
"I have nothing to hide," I shot back, my hands began shaking in my lab, and I clamped them together. My eyes shot skyward as I felt him draw nearer, his breath fanned the back of my neck. What did he think he was doing?
"I find that very unbelievable," his voice was deep, and dangerously close to my ear. Heat rushed to my face as I tried to resist spilling my life story out to him. My mind screamed, my body tense as it waited on what was to come next.
"Well I think I better get going," I stated my heart couldn't bear any more of this form of treatment. He didn't move a muscle, his breaths smooth and constant against my ear.
"You can trust me drew," I blinked, as his fingers brushed against my chin, tilting it to look at him. He gazed into my eyes, daring me to look away. I froze in that moment unable to speak.
"Why are you talking to me?" I questioned, braking the stare off to gather my thoughts. He tore himself away from me, turning to stare at the wall.
"You're different you know that, you don't fall at my feet, like the other girls, you are a mystery Drew, I want to be a part of your ride through life, allow me?" With one quick motion he was back with me again, his eyes connected with mine.
I nodded in response, not really sure what that meant, but I wouldn't mind being with Conrad, he gave me that flying feeling, and I did not ever want to Land on solid ground again.
