When I turn around and look right into the face of the guy Henry was already so excited about, I'd love to turn wordlessly forward again. He seems to have other plans because he puts on a big grin and greets me confidently: "Hey!"
Why could not I know that in advance? Although I did not think he would do it right behind me, I had already seen him out of the corner of my eye. Turning around had therefore been a stupid idea from the start.
But I can not change it any more, which is why I just nod slightly: "Hey." So I see our conversation as finished and I want to turn around again, but to my surprise, he grabs my arm and thus stops me in the middle of the movement.
With a questioning look I look at him and just want to ask him to let go, he continues: "I am Seth." Although this information is not necessarily inconvenient, but I try to avoid a conversation with him honestly. To be honest, I do not feel like Henry sees us and turns me on stupid later, nor that this guy fancies anything. Such types are not for me. That's why he does not even need to try.
"Can you let me go please?", I ask as friendly as possible, in the hope he would then actually comply with my request. "Under one condition," his grin widens.
Actually, I should not go into it, but I do not feel like a dispute, so I roll in on it, "Well, what condition?" "I want to know what your name is," he looks victorious. Basically, he would not have gotten anything for such a facial expression, but this time it feels right to give in.
I sigh. Although I could lie to him, but since we have at least one course together, he will eventually learn my real name one way or another. So I decide for the truth: "Kaitlyn and now let me go." "And on?", He continues his questioning and makes me realize that he is not satisfied with my first name.
Although I do not know what it brings him to know this, but would like to end this conversation and therefore do not discuss further: "I do not know what you are concerned, but my name is Kaitlyn Wilson." "Kaitlyn Wilson", he literally makes my name melt on his tongue and I do not like the tone in which he says it.
"Satisfied?", I hurry to quickly, because I am soon and I would like to order something to eat. "More than that," to my surprise, he actually comes to our agreement and leaves me without objecting.
I save a grateful look and turn instead wordlessly instead. In fact, the person in front of me steps aside at that moment, so it's my turn.
I order two ice creams, a Magnum White for me and one with nuts for Henry, and then I charge for both with the chip on my wrist.
While I wait for the salesman to open the freezer and get my order out, I notice Seth staring at me. Not on my back or the back of my head, but right on my ass. That was so clear!
I would like to drive around and tell him my opinion, but at that moment the seller is pushing me both ice cream and I decide to ignore him.
Played relaxed, I leave the queue and make my way back to Henry. But before I'm out of reach, I take a last look back at Seth, who still has his eyes fixed on me.
