Cuteness or plain stupidity?

Even though Tuesdays and Fridays are usually terrible days because I have to be in my school 12 hours in a row, this Tuesday was great. Since I have skipped my last two photo lab classes, I had to catch up with the rest of my classmates, so I made a reservation for the dark room today and got ready to develop three films.

For the past couple of weeks I’ve willing to invite Mariel to the dark room so she could see how you get things done, so today was the perfect day to do so because I had the dark room reserved only for me. It was great having her around. She was able to see how thing were done and I was able to have someone to chat with (it really gets lonely in a dark room when you are alone, surrounded by darkness and silence). A couple of hours passed by, and the films were developed: Mariel and I skipped both our classes so we could spend some more time together. I was convinced that those few hours in the dark room were a very nice, educative experience in which we got the chance to chat… that was what I thought nonetheless.

Around 4:00 pm, Mariel and I were sitting in a bench just talking… and suddenly this came out.

Victor: “Well, now we can say that we were in the dark room together”
Mariel: “Tehee… yes..”
Victor: ^_^
Mariel: “… and nothing happened”.
Victor: “yes…”
Victor: “….”
Victor: “…. (wait)…!”
Victor:”…. (What? O_o)”

I think is redundant to say that I spent the next couple of minutes banging my head against the bench screaming: “why!? Why I didn’t think about that? Why I didn’t try to make a move!!!” The strangest part is that at some point I said:

Victor: “ARGHHH!!! I’m a dumb stupid fool… why?!”
Mariel: “Don’t say that… I think you are cute”
Victor: “… ¬_¬ yeah right”
Mariel: “^-^”
Victor: (still banging my head… and I mean it… for those who know me they KNOW that I am capable of doing so)
Mariel: “Stop that!!! I didn’t think about IT either… you just gave me a hug in there anyway”
Victor: “wait… if you would have thought about it, would you have done anything?”
Mariel: “Noup”
Victor: “so, you are not one of those girls that take the lead…”
Mariel: “Teheee… noup ^-^”
Victor: “… it’s good to know”

So Mariel is not one of those girls that take the lead… and I am not used to taking it, so unless I star to be a “player” I think that I am doomed to be forever the “cute” guy, hehehehe… what do you think?

Would you say I was CUTE or just STUPID?
