The Affair [N.H]

3.

I drag my feet back to my home and I'm surprised to spot a tall young man. He is wearing a blue velvet cap on top of his full set of blonde brown hair with little pieces hanging off onto his ear. He was very slim but well built you could see it through his shirt although loose and pants that hung tight on his legs cupping his round bottom, don't ask me why I looked at his bum. A thought ran through my mind, what if this young man is planning to break into my home. I ran to my doorstep and asked the young man confidently "What are you trying to do?" He turned around, there wasn't much sunlight but the light that did cripple through made his ocean blue eyes sparkle not giving me a chance to look at his face probably.

"Oh hello there Mrs Oakley, sorry if I scared you," you could hear in his calm tone of voice he wasn't from here he was definitely an Irish man "Niall Horan, I was just delivering milk in the area." He then gives me a smile showing off his beautiful white teeth and showing his, what looks like, soft luxurious lips.

"Oh, I wasn't informed of a new town milk boy, you know you can never be safe these days. I didn't mean to offend you." I said with embarrassed in my voice. I don't understand why a young boy can make me feel like a little school girl, I couldn't take my eyes off him.

"Oh no worries Mrs..."

I cut him off and reply "Kris, call me Kris"smiling  I put out my hand for a formal shake.

" Well alright Kris, you will see me every week at your doorstep giving you one of London's finest quality milk" he laughs gently shaking my hand. His laugh is incredible and so warming. He then picks up the the carrier with the clinging bottles inside, he takes his hat off and gives a quick wave informing me that he is now leaving . I watched him walk along the paved sidewalk with his carrier bag.

My day is made awkward by the young boy. I'm a married women with a husband on my mind to worry about. What I couldn't stop thinking about was what ever happened to not employing anyone who is not from London. There was always this policy but seems like since most of the men signed up for war there's a need for anyone they can get, even if it's young boys like Niall.
