But when our eyes met, I refused to look away first. I expected him to lose interest and return his attention to the girls on display, but he didn’t.
He kept his eyes locked on mine.
There was a room full of gorgeous females. Why couldn’t he look at them instead?
I found I actually didn’t want him to look at anyone else.
I wanted him to look at me.
“I’ve seen better,” I said with a shrug.
“He spent quite a while looking at you,” Okhet said.
Oops. I didn’t think anyone else noticed.
“Did he?” I said.
“It made some of the other girls jealous.”
“Because a creep stared at me for a while? Pull the other one.”
Okhet frowned.
“What other one?” she said.
“It means, I think you’re joking or not telling the truth.”
“Oh. In my culture, that’s a big insult. To think someone isn’t telling the truth.”
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean anything by it—”
She had a grin on her face.
“And you’re joking,” I said, playfully slapping her on the arm. “Don’t do that! You know I’m an ignorant human from a backwater planet.”
“Sorry. I couldn’t resist. But I am telling the truth. They are jealous.”
“How do you know that?”
“Look over there at Tentaculus. See how she’s not looking at you but her tentacles are waving this way? It means she’s secretly thinking about you.”
“She might be thinking my hair looks a mess.”
“Maybe. Or she’s secretly attracted to you. One of the two.”
This place was a madhouse.
“Wait a minute,” I said. “If this Titan is so good looking and so rich, why would he need to come to a place like this?”
“Maybe he’s shy or never had a way with the ladies,” Okhet said. “Or maybe he’s into exotic girls and can’t find them anywhere else.”
Or maybe he wants to use us in ways he wouldn’t dare treat a female Titan.
Okhet snapped to attention.
“Here we go,” she said.
Shrisa stepped out from behind the observation room and stood before us. She looked a little frazzled and put out.
