8 Do it with his shirt off

Oh dear! You need to imagine how my heart was pumping so insanely.

His warmth.

Even though the situation was awkward and my fantasy of him being pure sweet without any flaws now had a crack, I won't deny that he actually smells good.

His hold manly and my heart felt like it's going under attack.

I could hear the hurried footsteps of his friend, which indicate that he was leaving.

And then the atmosphere turned awkward. I was still sandwiched in his arms, my face buried to his chest.

His hand that secured my face to his chest refused to move away. Somehow, it felt perfect.

That current position felt like a dream come true. No one has any idea how long I've been dying for this.

He cleared his throat and began pulling back, but his hand didn't move away. Instead, it strolled from behind my head and settled on my cheeks.

I was about to dive into the ocean of naughtiness, when our gaze locked.

Apparently, he was worried I felt uncomfortable with what grace my eyes, upon entering his house.

"Lauren, I'm so sorry about that. My friend visited often and since I live alone, he does as he pleases.

He could never imagine I will be coming home with a guest. Are you cool?" He asked and I nodded my head, my sense lost in his deep oceanic blue orbs that portray the perfect intensity that shows how sorry someone felt.

My heart melted, even though what I saw wasn't much of a big deal as he took it.

Not being weird, but seriously! That guy is hot!

It felt like a blessing that I saw those juicy abs, rather than how he's assuming, but yeah! I flowed along.

"I'm cool, Alex. It's not a big deal." I said and he gave me the 'are you sure?' look, with his brows raised.

I nodded my head and smiled at him.

He returned the smile and looked down and that's when I realized we are still so close.

Naturally, parting quickly should be the next move, but he didn't even look like it's something worth being startled about.

I felt his thumb brush my cheek and his gaze lingering on my lips, before he hesitantly pulled back.

Oh lord! It felt like something was wrong as long as our body separated.

Like, I should pull the god damn hotty back and let the hold kept on forever.

Gosh! How do I slap my head without being weird?

My face further turned crimson at my own thought. I think I'm going crazy.

"So Lauren, welcome to my humble home. As you can see, this is mine and you're free to roam wherever you want without holding back." He said and I couldn't look into his eyes.

"Hmm, someone is being shy, I see." He said and I blushed more.

Damn! I'm turning into a tomato today.

"You should go shower and….. Hum, do you have clothes to change into? We will go shop some tomorrow, but what about tonight?" He asked and guys, am I the only one feeling this progress is too fast?

The calmness, the fluidity of everything, I don't…...know….., but, it's just too clean and clear.

I nestled my inner turmoil and just listened to him.

"Maybe, I should get it delivered?" He asked and that's when I realized I was supposed to say something.

"Hum…." I stammered and he's so good at making an awkward situation make a turn.

"Lauren, why hid your blushes from me? Look up, sweetheart. You have no idea how cute you look like this." He said and you need to see the speed in which I raised my head.

Why wouldn't I want him to see the cute me?

"Now, that's what I'm talking about." He said and my shoulders raised on their own. Now I'm shy.

"My manner….uughhhh. Sit down, Lauren." He said and I took my seat. 

"Okay, now talk to me. I want to enjoy seeing you change into beautiful clothes tomorrow, so well, we're only worrying about what you're putting on today and for going out tomorrow." He said.

"I have my clothes with me. I don't think the shopping is really necessary." I said with an uncertain look and he chuckled.

"Baby, I don't take NO for an answer. Now, let me spoil your stomach and have the maid prepare your room, but first, anything you'd like to do while I'm busy in the kitchen?" He asked.

He wants to cook for me. Oh my god! 

Words can't explain how I'm feeling right now. It's utterly crazy.

"I would like to accompany you in the kitchen." I said.

My heart skipped as he suddenly rested his palms on my shoulders so casually.

"How about you watch me cook? As a special treat, I will do it with my shirt off." He said like he is giving me a golden opportunity to become a billionaire.

Urgh?
