Him

After I left him at my cousin's place I kept on feeling uneasy as I kept looking at him walking inside the building. I don't want him to live there anymore. It's not that I don't trust Erick but when I look at their closeness it makes me feel uneasy. I have never seen Erick being so civil with anyone. He is the guy who doesn't trust people easily and being civil is something far that I expect from him. That word is not in his dictionary. I can't blame him for his nature, his past and presence have made him like that. He had closed himself a long time ago but his behaviour is different when he is with Tiny. He told me that Erick is her first friend and that makes me more anxious. He knows him before me. 

I felt a burn in my chest at that thought. Tiny was capable of getting into anyone's skin. He becomes friends with all the chef teams in no time. They all adore him. This is what makes me nervous. I didn't even realise when I had fallen for him. He makes things happen like that. I don't know how and when it started but when I came to my senses I was already long gone. Maybe that fool would develop something for him and before he knew it would be out of his hands. But he had Grace and soon they are going to get engaged and on top of that Erick is not into men. My inner voice said to put some sense in me. I sighed in relief. Thank God tiny is not a woman or else I would have gone rampage if she still lived with my cousin. I never imagined in my entire life that I would be so possessive of someone. I have been in a few relationships back in my university life. They all were short term but I have never been so possessive about anyone. 

"God tiny what are you doing to me," I said in helplessness as I closed my eyes and put my head on my seat as I pulled my hair in anxiety which was building in me. I have never been like this before. Everything is still so new to me. I'm trying to get used to it. Tiny is getting used to it too. I know he wants time and I want to take things slowly with him but when I look at him every bit of my patience runs out of the window. The way he smiles, the way he laughs, and the way he shies out when I kiss him. Everything makes me go insane. I just want to put him on my shoulder and take him to my bed to make him mine. I want to tie him to my bed and show him what he makes me feel. I opened my eyes as a smile formed on my face as the thought of making him mine came to my mind. 

But that smile didn't stay on my face longer as another thought replaced it. I don't know why but sometimes I feel like something is going to happen soon. I don't know what is going to happen but this feeling is enough to make me feel uneasy. It feels like something dear to me is going to snatch out of my hands. The more I thought about it, these feelings kept on increasing. I'm being paranoid. I think I feel like this because I'm with someone who makes me happy after so long. It's nothing just a stupid feeling I should ignore. I exhaled audibly as I took the hold of the steering wheel. 

"Let's go home Xanthus and sleep if you want to see your Tiny soon" I mumbled under my breath in my defeated voice. I already miss him and can't wait to see him soon. I drove away from his building. I reached my home soon. I got changed into my sweatpants and collapsed in my bed. I was exhausted from all the work at the restaurant. The business was getting bigger and bigger every day. Thank God I stay at the main restaurant and only visit my other restaurant once a month. All the rest of my restaurants are managed by my trusted managers. 

After tomorrow I have to go for my monthly visit. I will take Tiny with me so I can spend more time with him. I kept twisting and turning until I finally slept. The next day I went to the restaurant with a smile on my face and eagerness in my eyes to see my Tiny. I walked into the kitchen to find him with all the guys laughing at something. William had his hand on his shoulder as they laughed. My jaw twitched looking at his hand on Tiny.
