Nervous Laughter

He knows he's done for the moment he sees her.

Wrapped in a towel, apologizing for walking in on him in the kitchen, flushed and embarrassed, hair a mess of curls, he's frozen.

"S'okay," he says, smiling, laughing really, at the sight of this flustered girl. His lips keep twitching, a nervous habit, and the laughs just keep coming. This girl will hate him by the end of the night, he worries.

She manages a weak nod and makes a direct beeline to what he guesses is her room.

"What's so funny, man?" asks Mitch, coming back from getting his jacket.

"I think I just embarrassed your sister," he answers, trying so hard not to burst out laughing, again.

Wow.

Perspective on my emotional hide and seek.

Sometimes, like the times he does something surprisingly sweet, I think I'm falling for him.
