Rose's POV
Leon's voice rang out with a bold, unwavering assertiveness when he said those words to me. There was this quiet confidence laced in his tone that made something stir deep inside me. My cheeks flared with sudden heat, and I didn't even understand why... I mean, he was younger than me. That alone should've made his cocky attitude irritating. And it did... but weirdly enough, that just made my heart race even more.
Just how deeply do I feel for this guy, that even something so small could make me react this much? It was insane. I must really, truly be in love with him... with everything I am. My entire heart, my whole soul… it had to be wrapped around him already. Nothing else explained how just hearing him talk like that could twist my insides like this.
"You're so cute, Rose," he said suddenly.
I froze. Why was he saying something so shameless?
Me? Cute?
