Teaser - TROMS: Chapter 7 "This was so not what I expected..."

So here's this week's teaser. Sorry about the delay in getting the last chapter up. Hopefully everything's fixed now. Fingers crossed!

"What do you want?" I asked flatly.

"Let me see… what do I want from you?" He pretended to ponder this as if it were the most important consideration in the world. "I guess a fair trade could be a kiss."

He's not wasting any time, is he? I suppose that I could live with that.

"Tell me your name first." I was determined not to be seen as a push over.

He chuckled as he responded. "You know, I really don't think so. You might back out on me."

He was about as infuriating as Alice. "I promise you that I won't."

"No, I think I'd prefer to do it my way."

Smug bastard.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" My sarcastic tone was ignored as he continued to argue.

"Because it makes the most sense."

"How? You could just as easily renege on telling me your name." I had a sneaking suspicion that this would be exactly what he'd do.

"Yes, I could. But I won't."How did he expect me to believe him when he was smirking at me?

"But how can I trust you?"

"Alright, how about we settle this in an equitable manner? I'll toss a coin and you can call it. What do you say?"

"Fine." I grumbled. This was getting frustrating.

He tossed the coin into the air, and as I watched it spin, I called heads.
