Hayden had arrived and is sitting very close to me opposite the dinner table. This is the closest that we’ve gotten since we met at the church at what was supposed to be our wedding. Although, it failed miserably at my relief.
Well, at least, he isn’t dead drunk this time, I thought as I looked at the man sitting opposite to me.
Now that I had a chance to see him up close, I had to admit that Hayden is extremely handsome and attractive. Light blond hair, flawless skin, bright blue eyes, and a very handsome face with a straight nose. He looks like an angel, a prince, a Greek god, and everything else along those lines.
As I have observed before at the church, Hayden was very tall, and I barely reached his shoulders even in those ultra-high heels I was forced to wear at our failure of a wedding. I wasn’t surprised that he had a girlfriend or at least a lover…or two…or more…?
I was also sure that someone as dazzlingly attractive and charismatic as him would not be interested in a girl like me. I wouldn’t say that I was a plain jane, but I wasn’t exactly supermodel material either. I bet Hayden only dates supermodels and superstars based on his wealth, social status, and his looks.
I hated to admit it, but it actually works in my favor…
Despite his handsome and attractive face, I found that there was nothing about Hayden’s character that resembled his face. The aura he had been emanating since he stepped into the room was purely dark and suffocatingly intimidating.
The silence is choking me, and this tension is unbearable. What should I do? Should I start a conversation first? Or should I just start eating? Would that be rude?
Sigh…why am I overthinking everything right now?
“Umm…I’m Malissa Maxford. It’s…nice to meet you,” I said as I tried to smile a little. I couldn’t see what my face looked like at that moment, but I was sure that the smiling part failed.
“I already know your name and I know that you don’t truly think that it’s nice to meet me. I could say the same thing…” Hayden replied flatly.
“I guess you’re right. I already know your name too, so I guess, I’ll just start eating,” I said, equally flatly.
To my surprise, Hayden continued with the conversation that I had started.
