"But... but..."
"Ms. Ann, do you think I'm not good enough?"
"It's not that you're not good enough; I just think you two don't match well."
"Why not?" Pax flexed his arms, showing off his biceps. "I mean, my physique and looks aren’t too shabby, right?"
Ann couldn't help but laugh at his childish display. "I just feel like Chloe doesn’t really see you as a man."
It was obvious to anyone. Chloe only treated him as a younger brother, maybe even a little kid.
Pax's mood sank immediately.
They'd been around each other for a week, so how could he not have noticed?
Chloe didn’t see him as a man at all. Sometimes, he’d purposely come out of the shower bare-chested when she got home.
He looked lean but had a six-pack. Even if he flexed his muscles right in front of her on purpose, she barely glanced his way. She showed no interest at all.
Instead, she’d remind him that the air conditioning was cold and that he should hurry and get dressed to avoid catching a cold.
So, Pax decided he needed to confess his feelings.
He didn’t have much time left. His mom could find out where he was at any moment.
If Chloe didn’t start seeing him as a man, nothing could ever happen between them. So he planned to confess.
Success wasn't guaranteed, but he just wanted Chloe to know he was pursuing her as a man. He did not want to be forever seen as a younger brother.
