They were F R I E N D S and this was.... okay, pretty sure that their friendship was ruined now.
Congratulations.
His cheek turned redder than ripe tomato. Awkwardly he avoid her gaze and played with the cutlery in front of him. For the first time in his life, Evan didn't feel like finishing his food. Honestly he had zero expectation that Manuela would return his feelings, seriously. There were so many good-looking guys that seemed like her and he was just... Evan, an unattractive awkward Asian guy who had weird obsessions with food and bubble tea.
When Manuela said that she didn't know how to respond that, he let out a sigh. It was totally acceptable, probably she wanted to say no but in a polite way. "That's okay." It was the only statement that Evan could say now. Actually, none of this was okay and Manuela wondered why she couldn't keep her mouth from spilling out uncomfortable truths. Or why Evan couldn't keep his mouth shut from spilling out his uncomfortable truths. It was like they were both in direct competition to see which one dished out their most guarded secret before the night was up.
It seemed like Evan was winning just now but Manuela supposed, with the way her stomach was twisting painfully, that there was time yet to snatch his crown.
An uncomfortable thought, to be sure. "I'm... sorry." It was the safest thing she'd said thus far. And a true one, too. Then the word vomit continued: "I know that's not what you wanted to hear but I can't really lie about this," Or about anything, it'd seem. "It wouldn't be fair. I don't know if I like you like that." Time to process. That's what she needed. "But I wouldn't mind if you kissed me."
She also needed to shut up.
