cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yeah?\" I replied, tilting my head. \"...Why are you asking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Are you an idiot?\" He asked, his glare intensifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What does that have to do with you blushing?\" I questioned, tilting my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at me for a second, and I think I saw some pity in his eyes before he replied, \"...Why do you want me to feed you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Give it then.\" I snatched the pack before looking at Aimar. \"...Feed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You swinging the other way now?\" He asked with a snicker. \"Sorry, but I'm not available.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Look at your face, bitch.
