Lakisha wet her lips with the tip of her tongue.
"Look..."
How could she possibly explain that guy that you don't fall in love like that?
Hey, Miss Snowqueen, what do you know about love? she suddenly thought.
It was true.
Lakisha had never fallen in love. Never in her entire life. She had had boyfriends, of course, but she had never felt love for anyone of those. She didn't know the feeling.
She was distracted by the sudden arrival of Salomo, her pet lynx. She stoked his ears and it purred, rubbing its head against her leg. In winter, his fur was silver-grey and he looked magnificent.
Lakisha brought her attention back to Ethan.
Why not? she caught herself thinking. He was tall, thin, good-looking... A son of Thanatos; loads of girls wanted a boy like that. Then she thought about the Valentine's dance two years ago; she had been there with her previous boyfriend. Oh by the gods... The girls were clinging to their boyfriend's arm, trying ot show off, like 'Look at me, I have a boyfriend, I'm loved, I'm beautiful and sexy, look how much make-up I have, who are you in comparison?' All of them were dressed in short dresses, the predominant colors were pink, white and black, and most of them had enough make-up for a Hallowe'en party. They didn't even know how to put make-up on, those goats. Just a bunch of wanna-be's.
Yeah, she would go there and punch their self-esteem between the eyes. A cruel smirk stroked her lips as she thought about that.
Lakisha turned back to Ethan. Yeah, he'd make a good partner. And he didn't boast. She liked that. Most of her previous boyfriends were boasty about her and about their deeds. He wasn't.
The young woman smiled at him.
"We can go together, if you wish." she said. "But I'm not promising there's gonna be a make-out session."
