Maggie wasn't sure but all of a sudden he'd been there. And he'd owed her a favor. It had been...convenient.
And now it wasn't convenient anymore. Simple as that. 'I like you?'
Only it wasn't as simple as that. Maggie blinked. Why had Kaycee been right? Why was Kaycee always right?? She didn't know what to say. Or how to feel. Her brain just shut down and all she could do was stare at him for a long moment. And then her mouth just did its own thing without asking her brain for permission first. "Is that a question?" It had certainly sounded like one. Okay? Okay.
He was okay with that...because frankly, it was better than the alternative. Really, almost ANYTHING was better than the alternative. Almost.
...
The second the three words came from his mouth, he wished he could take them back. Not because he regretted it, but because he could have said it better... with more finesse. Admittedly, it had been a question, because he had never really thought about what he wanted before now, but this was fairly clear. The one thing that had put a spanner in the works for him this term so far, was her. And now, when it seemed like that wouldn't be a concern for him any longer, he wasn't ready to let go of it. He liked her. How much? It was hard to tell, or too soon to tell, but there was time... maybe.
He still wasn't able to look away, so his eyes locked on hers as she appeared to wait for his response. "I like you," he repeated more confidently now that the words didn't sound so foreign. Did she hear it that time? No question implied!
