Sneak peek of chpt 17 of "start again", my DISA fanfic :)
He reached over haphazardly and grabbed a few of the fruity candy, looking at the colors before he ate them. “I think there’s something wrong with this bag of Skittles.”
“In what sense?”
“All I keep getting is grape, orange, and green apple.”
“Oh.” As she brought the book back up to hide her face, there was a sound of candy being shovelled into her mouth. She muttered, still chewing, “How peculiar.”
He took a quick glance down at the large open packet between them, only to find a jumble of purple, orange and green. Not a yellow or a red Skittle in sight.
“Gretta,” he started, turning his body towards her and propping his head up with his hand, “you wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?”
There was a long pause, “Not a clue.”
Raking his fingers through the Skittles, his hand brushed against Gretta’s who was blindly reaching out. The candy was for gotten about for just a moment as she ran her fingers gently along the top of his hand. Dwight knew what she was doing. It was both adorable and amusing, the way she was making an attempt at distracting him from the mystery of the missing flavors. Her face was still hidden with the book firmly planted in front of her. It was obvious she was hiding, knowing it wouldn’t take much for him to coax the truth out of her.
Dwight’s fingers gripped the top of her book and slowly pulled it down from her face. Dark, soft eyes with slightly raised eyebrows met hers. There wasn’t any hint of irritation, but with his lips turned up into a smile, sheer amusement was plastered across his face.
“Well, it’s either this bag is missing some flavors, or someone is eating all the strawberry and lemon ones.”
It was almost impossible to keep anything from him. His big brown eyes searched hers deeply, and his playfulness and smile were nothing short of infectious. Unable to hide behind her book, she admitted to her guilt with a giggle, “I cannot help it if strawberry and lemon are my favorites.”
“I can understand liking one flavor the most, but why lemon and strawberry?”
“Eating them together is the best. It reminds me of Lulu’s strawberry lemonade.” She extended her hand towards him, revealing some yellow and red Skittles she still had stashed away. “Here.”
“You sure?”
“Of course, I’ve had my fair share Sir Dwight. These ones are for you to savor.” She tipped the candy into his cupped hand. Flashing a smile at her, he popped them into his mouth. A small hum of delight was heard as he chewed.
