Until We Meet Again

Ch.4 | Erwin's Home

I followed Erwin all the way to his house in my car. Honestly, I didn't even think I had a choice. If I would have denied Erwin's offer, then I seriously feel like it would've been rude brushing him off like that, considering he's my boss and we did know each other back in our teen years.

But damn. It's too damn awkward spending time with Erwin since he's my old crush back from middle school. Even so, I don't want to be an asshole just because I use to have a major crush on him back when we were teenagers.

Damn.

Get it together, Levi.

Erwin is already driving in front of me while I drive from behind. I park my car right behind his and finally get out of my car once we arrive at his place.

Why do I get the feeling that I might just be living such a better life than I Erwin is? My house is big on the outside and neatly organized and furnished on the inside, unlike his. Fuck. Just looking at this place...

It's pissing me off.

"Erwin, when was the last time you cleaned?"

"Last week. I haven't been doing any cleaning lately because of this new job. Why? Is it bothering you or something?" Erwin grins, "You have always been such a neat freak."

"Quit with that. Anyway, I should clean this place up. It's hella messy."

"Knock yourself out. I'll be taking a shower. I'll be out soon." And just like that, Erwin leaves me unattended just so he can go take a shower.

And I'll be silently cleaning his house...

7:23 pm

Shit.

It's late. Well, not that late. I'm still cleaning Erwin's house twenty minutes later even though it feels like an hour has passed.

Just then I hear a door open from not far away. Probably Erwin who just so happens to come out of the bathroom, but I don't hear any footsteps at all.

Being curious, I walk towards the noise I heard a few seconds ago, trying to see if that was really Erwin or just my mind playing tricks on me.

I'm already standing in front of what looks like the bathroom door. I'm hesitant for a moment, but no sooner than I place my hand on the doorknob, the door immediately swings open, revealing a half-naked Erwin Smith. He's wearing some grey sweat pants, but literally no shirt in sight.

"Levi? What are you doing?"

Why do I always have to put myself in these weird situations? I'm nearly sweating bullets. At this rate, I'll probably drown in my own pile of sweat. "Um, nothing. I just- heard noises and thought it was you."

"Oh yeah? And so you were just going to open the bathroom door? What if I was completely naked, hm?" I keep accidentally glancing over at his toned stomach. I feel like my eyes are controlling me, not wanting me to look away.

I shake my head and walk away from him. "Whatever. I'm about to finish cleaning up this filthy piece of shit."

Just then as soon as I start to walk away from him and back to where I was headed, Erwin grabs me by the wrist, making me stop in my tracks. My goodness. This man has one hell of a grip. "You don't have to clean the rest of the house. You can do that later. How about," all of a sudden, his smile changes. Like, it's still a smile, but a not so innocent smile he had on a few minutes ago, "we do something else?" Something else??

What the hell does this guy have planned??
