In case it ain't perfectly clear: "No, Freckles. I'm tryin' to kiss you."
Worked, too, and he's pleased as punch about that. It's somethin' he's been itching for since the last time he did it, and damn if he ain't sure he can go that long without it again.
"But if it works as a distraction, I ain't complainin'." She's a little bit of a tease but he likes it; she's a little bit self-centered but not in a bad way. It's in the way people are when they put their own interests first and he could understand that. He likes that too.
Almost automatically, his fingers reach for a strand of her hair and play there; his other hand brushes her cheek. Scariest part about the whole deal is that he could probably play house with her real easy.
And be satisfied.
But one step at a time. First things first, and now he is tryin' to distract her but he'll also answer her question a little bit. "How come you think I'd be lookin' for antique electronics, Nancy Drew? Got somethin' I want to be able to use." He knows without even testing his lips that her taste is still on them.
