He finally stared down at me, his lips crooked and his

eyes lit with mischief. “So, you agree, you’re a pain in my

ass?”

Me, a pain in his ass? This was the joke of the century.

“I’m not roses, Maddox. If you’re going to make my life

difficult, I’m going to be the thorn that pricks you. Don’t

expect me to be all smiles, hearts and googly eyes. I’m not

that girl.”

He kept the toothpick in the corner of his mouth as he

spoke. “I know you’re not.”

When I didn’t answer, he slowly rolled the sleeves of his

white shirt up to his elbow. The same arm I bit yesterday.

He shoved his arm into my face and a huge, red bite mark

stared back at me.

My eyes widened at the angry looking mark. I grabbed

his forearm for a closer inspection. That couldn’t be from

when… I bit him, right?

"You hurt me,” he said again.

I… did.

“Look at it. It hurts so bad; my arm has been aching the

whole time.”

My gaze flew up to his, and I would have thought he was

serious if I didn’t notice the twinkle in his eyes.

“I don’t remember biting you that hard, and it was

yesterday morning. It’s been a whole twenty-four hours. It’s

impossible that the bite mark would still look like this,

except if…”

I let my words trail off, and I squinted at him, now

suspicious.

“You think I bit myself? Damn, Garcia, you really are

cruel. Why would I cause such pain to myself when I have

you to do it?”

He shoved his arm in my face again. “Now kiss it

better,” Maddox demanded, “or, I'll tell the principal you bit

me.”

Sweet Jesus, he really was impossible.
