Boyfriend Quote by Jennifer A. Whitfield
““Do you have a boyfriend?” That was a little too personal, wasn’t it? “I..” I was caught off guard. “Is that a yes, or a no?” He raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he stared deeply into my eyes. If I looked deep enough, I thought, maybe I could find what I was looking for. “No,” I whispered. He put a hand to his ear. “What was that? I didn’t quite hear you?” I had the feeling he had heard it loud and clear, but was messing with me. “No,” I said with one quick look at him and then I lowered my eyes toward the table. He smiled at my response. “Good,” he replied. Was I flirting? Was he? I looked back up to try to understand his answer. “And do you, Mr Kaden?” “Do I what?” He was definitely playing with me now. “Do I have a boyfriend? No. I don’t.” I laughed and couldn’t help but smile in the process.””
