- You fucking scared me! – I put a hand on my chest.

Frank leans at the door and crosses his arms seriously.

- What was that about earlier? - he asks seriously.

- Nothing. -

- Grace... - insists on being annoying.

I take out my lipstick and carefully go over it with my mouth.

- Grace, I'm talking to you, answer me. - complains even more seriously.

I snort and irritably keep the material in my bag to face it.

- God, didn't you notice that? - I look at him indignantly.

- what? - Frowning without understanding.

- That girl has been hitting on you! And the worst part? You're so stupid you don't even realize it! - I spit in anger.

He looks at me in confusion and tries to make something coherent come out of his mouth.

- You are... Are you jealous?

Oh... Shit...

- Of course not! Why should I be? - trying to hide any sign of nervousness.

- You're jealous, Grace! – he smiles.

- I said no! - I flatly deny.

- Oh yes you are!

- No!

- Yes! - he insists.

- No!

- Yes! And you know how I know? - Grabs my jaw - Because you're red as a tomato...

We both kept quiet. Perfect now I can't deny it, what can I say? That I've caught a cold again? that would be stupid. Frank would instantly stop the flight and goodbye trip. Goodbye important business with that Jakob and his hateful sister.

- It's okay to be jealous! How can I not be? You told me yourself that I was yours and I made it clear to you that that includes you being mine!

Frank smiles and can't believe it. He probably thinks I'm lying and I swear that if I am I'm going to make him swallow his own teeth.

Quickly and cunningly he takes my wrists and puts me against the pered.

I give a slight shout on impact until its closeness takes my breath away.

- Grace... - whisper very close to me - you're not going to tell me you're falling in love with me, are you?

I stay neutral when I see their beautiful blues. Seeing how her smile doesn't disappear even when I look at my impact. Seeing the hope she transmits to me.

Am I in love with him? Do I like Frank? Can anyone get your attention in a short time?
