Unable to flee this time, all she could do was shiver as she muttered, “I-I’m not avoiding-”
“Say that to my face…! I dare you! You’ve avoided me up to three times already! How much longer do you plan to do this?!” retorted James, leaving Lana slightly stunned.
Thinking back, she realized that he was right… She had subconsciously been avoiding him for a while now, and she hadn’t even been doing it on purpose. Following a short pause, she meekly replied, “I-I… I’m just… anxious, alright…?”
“…And why exactly are you so anxious? Regardless, I’ve given it some thought and I’ve made up my mind. From today onward, I’ll be pursuing you till you fall head over heels for me!” declared James, leaving Lana startled.
What on earth was he even talking about? Following a slight pause, Lana replied, “…U-um… Was that a joke-”
“Do you think I’d joke about something like this? Either way, you said you were busy, right? Go attend to your things and I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“…Alright,” replied Lana who was honestly still too stunned to even think of a proper reply…
Following that, she slowly made her way back to her room before nestling up on her couch, her mind a complete mess… Damn it, her heart wasn’t used to such bursts of confusion…!
Meanwhile, James himself had lit a cigarette and was currently smoking on the balcony. Just thinking about Lana’s reactions just now hurt, to say the least… But even so, he had made up his mind. He loved her, and he was going to do everything that he could to prove that to her…!
