"WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE FOR DINNER? PERHAPS, VEGETARIAN. OR DO YOU LIKE MEAT?" I TRIED TO IGNORE HIM. BUT HE WOULDN' T STOP. HE KEPT SPEAKING. 

THE CAR STOPPED AT HIS HOUSE. I GOT OUT AND WENT INSIDE. NICHOLAS TRIED TO MAKE ME SPEAK BUT I DIDN' T. 

FINALLY HE LEFT HOPE, BANGED HIS FIST ON A DOOR AND WENT TO HIS ROOM TO CHANGE. I WENT TO MY ROOM FOR A SHOWER. FROM MY BALCONY HIS ROOM WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE IF THE CURTAINS WEREN' T CLOSED. 

I JUST STARED AT HIS ROOM FOR A WHILE. I HAD SEEN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME ALTHOUGH I WOULD' VE PREFFERED TO SEE IT FROM INSIDE BUT I COULDN' T DO SO. SUDDENLY THE DOOR OF HIS WASHROOM OPENED AND HE CAME OUT TO CHANGE HIS CLOTHES. AS SOON AS I SAW HIM, I FELT LOVESICK. 

MY SENSES WENT OUT OF MY CONTROL. HE LOOKED SO CUTE. HIS HAIR WAS UNTIDY AFTER THE SHOWER. HE REMOVED HIS TOWEL AND IT REVEALED THE UPPER PART OF HIS BODY. HE HAD AN EIGHT PACK, RARELY ANYONE HAD SUCH A BODY. I WAS IN AWE. 

HE WORE A SHIRT AND JEANS. HE CAME TOWARDS HIS GLASS WINDOWS TO CLOSE THE CURTAINS. 

SHIT. 

HE SAW ME. HIS GLANCE WAS ENOUGH TO KNOCK SOME SENSE IN ME. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED AWAY FROM ME. I THOUGHT HE WOULD GLARE AT ME BUT HE LOOKED AT ME PLAYFULLY. I JUST WONDERED WHAT HE WAS UPTO.

I WENT DOWN FOR DINNER. OLIVIA AND SIREN WERE ALREADY SEATED. THEY WERE DRINKING SOUP. I TOOK MY SEAT. NICHOLAS CAME AFTER A FEW MINUTES. HE LOOKED AT ME. I GULPED NERVOUSLY AND STARED AT MY PLATE TO HIDE MY FACE. 

"WHY IS EVERYONE SO QUITE?" HE ASKED.

"WHAT? OF COURSE NOT. DON' T BE MISTAKEN. WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY BUT YOU DON' T HAVE TIME TO BE HAPPY?" OLIVIA REPLIED.

"COME ON, LINDA. SPEAK SOMETHING. OTHERWISE, BRO' WILL EAT OUR HEAD."

I LOOKED UP JUST TO FIND HIM DIRECTLY LOOKING AT ME. I STARED AT HIS CRYSTAL BLUE EYES. THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL. THEY ADDED TO HIS HOTNESS. 

CLEARLY, NO ONE HAD BEEN MISTAKEN TO SAY THAT HE WAS TOTALLY HANDSOME, ALTHOUGH HE PREFFERED TO BE ARROGANT IN NATURE. 

HE CLAPPED HIS HANDS IN FRONT OF MY EYES. I LOOKED DOWN AT MY PLATE. MY MIND HAD GOT THE BETTER OF ME AGAIN. OLIVIA AND SIREN GIGGLED. MY CHEEKS TURNED RED WITH EMBARRASSMENT.

"SEEMS LIKE MRS. CHARMING LIKES MY BLUE EYES." HE SAID.

"THERE' S NOTHING LIKE IT. EVEN YOU LIKE MY FACE. I' VE SEEN YOU STEALING GLANCES AT ME."

"OH YEAH. I KNOW. YOU ALSO FALL FOR ME WHEN YOU SEE ME AFTER A SHOWER. DO YOU THINK I HAVEN' T NOTICED THAT?"

I CHOSE TO REMAIN SILENT BECAUSE T DIDN' T HAVE A POINT TO ARGUE. I QUICKLY ATE AND WENT BACK TO MY ROOM BEFORE NICHOLAS SAID ANYTHING ELSE.

I CLOSED THE DOOR OF MY ROOM. I SAT ON THE COUCH AND REGRETTED THE WAY I BEHAVED.

"PERHAPS, I SHOULD STOP READING ROMANTIC NOVELS. MY SENSES ARE GETTNG OUT OF MY CONTROL DAY BY DAY. BUT WHAT CAN I DO? HE IS SO HANDSOME. I ALWAYS FEEL THE NEED TO TOUCH HIM BUT I CAN' T. HE ISN' T CLOSE TO ME AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE DOESN' T TRUST ME. OH GOD! PLEASE HELP ME." I THOUGHT TO MYSELF.
