"Since our...Kiss"

Alex was lazily watching TV after Cynthia left when the doorbell rang.

"Coming," she said.

Nathan stood in the doorway with a smile.

"Hi," he said

"Hi, come in "she moved aside to let him in and then closed the door.

"What is all that? "she pointed at the packages he was holding.

"Grocery, since we are not going out I wanted us to make dinner at home, "he said walking to the kitchen.

She giggled," Isn't that a lot for just the two of us "

"No, & I want to cook everything I know for you tonight " he let out.

She I go change then so I can help you with the cooking?" she said.

"No," he said, he had noticed her short pink pyjamas and free braless top.

"Oh, you don't need my help, did I do a bad job last time," she asked.

He chuckled, "I didn't mean that, you're fine dressed like that you don't need to change"

She looked down at her shabby clothes," But I haven't even showered yet, I won't take along "

Nathan held her hand and walked up to her, she didn't want him close to her cause she knew what effect he had on her now. Every time he got so close her body temperature changed and her heart raced.

She had suffered even more symptoms the previous day while they worked together.

Alex moved back, and Nathan followed her. She moved back again and he did the same getting closer to her.

"Nathan... "she murmured. The smile playing on his face made her know he was doing it intentionally.

"Yes," he chuckled.

"What are you doing? "her back hit the fridge looking up at him.

"Following you "he closed the gap trapping her between him and the fridge.

"Why "she turned away as his face got closer.

"Are you avoiding me? "he asked.

"Am not "she muttered.

"Then look at me "he breathed.

Slowly she moved her head back to his gaze. And her eyes shot looked up at him.

"I thought we were close now, did I do something to upset you? " he said making a puppy face.

She smiled," No you didn't, it's just that.... "

His hand slid into hers and brought it up to his lips, she watched him kiss her hand," Alex I know it might be overwhelming for you to be doing this but I can slow down if it's what you need "he said," I want you to be able to open up to me about anything you feel about what's going on between us not avoid me instead ".

She found herself gaping up at him.

"So tell me what's wrong? "he said calmly.

"It's embarrassing "

"Try me "he kissed her hand again.

"It's just that since our kiss... every time you touch or get near me my body starts to get out of control in a way I don't understand " she bit her lip nervously.

He moved back giving her some space," Does it make you uncomfortable? "he asked.

Shaking her head she pulled him back," No, but am worried I might get too used to it and I end up making you uncomfortable instead ".
