I knocked on the pool door early, early, Monday morning. The sky behind me was fighting with the sun to stay dark as I waited for a fight of my own. I knocked once more. At this, I heard rustling inside. A few minutes later, the door squealed open.
Adam appeared, in striped pajama pants, and no shirt. He was still rubbing away sleep in his eyes, but he had a toothbrush in his hand. His messy bed hair seemed to have helped form some of his original curls.
"Good morning, Sir," I said in my best fake chipper voice.
"Good morning!" He said once he was fully awake. I could see the outside chill had helped him wake up as goosebumps were covering his whole body.
"What do I need to do today? So bright and early?" I asked.
"It is early. You can come inside and sleep if you want?" He gave me a wicked smile and moved away from the door, giving me an entrance to walk into the house. Then he walked into his bedroom.
"No, thank you." I simply said but went inside the house, staying in the kitchen. "So why did I need to be here today?" I asked again.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see you...uninterrupted. And since your mom is the busiest in the morning...." I heard him say behind me.
I turned around to face him. Bad idea. He looked really good in this light. His abs were on full display, and a little piece of his messy hair was dangling around his eyes. I wanted to move it out of his face. His hands were now free without his toothbrush. I wanted to touch them. But he has a girlfriend, I reminded myself. Plus, I was not interested in doing anything with him in the first place. Right?
"Nothing is going to happen today!" I said, probably not convincingly.
He walked closer to me like he always does. This time, however, I moved back. I moved so far back that I ran into the couch in the living room. He followed me there till his bare chest touched me. I pushed him away.
"What do you want from me?" I asked.
"I am bored. I want to have sex. Did I not make that clear last time?" He said.
"Ask your girlfriend," I said.
"No," He simply stated. He again closed the small gap I created and brought his face down to mine. His lips almost touched mine. I know I was tempted to make contact, but I fought the urge. Like I promised Avi, I would not get swept up in Adam's charm. I chuckled and extended my neck away from him, "You are so desperate. It's so unattractive."
Adam moved back at this and looked me in my eyes. "Really? Am I?"
With the space he gave me, I shifted out of his cage and took a couple of steps back towards the wall separating the living room and kitchen.
"Yeah," I said with venom in my voice.
"That's not what it seemed like last time you were here. You or at least certain parts of you were very attracted to me." His eyes were now looking at the lower half of my body.
"You are disgusting! I was upset last time because your creepy friend said the worst things about me, and you took advantage of that. Instead of defending me, you just let him keep going." I roared.
"Oh, I didn't defend you? I beat the shit out of him the last time he touched you." He yelled back. "I kicked him out last week too."
"Why didn't you stop him in high school when he groped me? You were there. You must have known what he was going to do?" I screamed.
"I didn't actually think he was going to do it. I only made a bet with him because I didn't think he would have the nerve to do it. We were just stupid high schoolers." His tone was back to normal.
