I could feel my cheeks flustered causing them to turn red the moment I lay eyes on him. He had deep blue eyes which complements his sharp jaw line and thick dark brown hair. Wearing just a plain black T- shirt hugging his body with a straight cut light blue denim jean showing off his long lean legs. Judging from the curve of his biceps, he is well built, or an athlete even. His stubble further defined his high cheekbone which gave a him an irresistible charm.
" I... I... locked myself out here. Can....you help me. Please?" I said as I tried readjusting my towel to appear as decent as possible. I was lost for words due to my embarrassing circumstances. With his piercing blue eyes laying upon me, it was definitely not helping me one bit.
Before I could finish my sentence, he was already making way towards me and assuring it was not a problem. His voice was firm and reassuring. He fished his phone from his back pocket and had a word with the landlord. After exchanging a few conversational lines with the landlord explaining my situation, he began raising the intensity of his voice which shadowed with indignation. He quickly stole a glance at me just to notice he had startled me with his voice. He quickly walked over a distance to continue his heated conversation with the landlord.
I have heard stories about the landlord from the previous tenant, he was a money-grubber in nature which eventually was detested by tenants in the building. The heated argument came to an end as he pulled away the phone from his ears and pressed the end call button on his phone screen. He let out a short burst of sigh to let out some pent-up frustration. I straightened my back immediately at the sight of him walking back towards my direction.
"Is everything okay? Did he ask for some payment for his service?" I asked with concern
"Yes, but don't worry about it. Let me handle him when he gets here" He said nonchalantly.
"Oh, that's so sweet of you, but I could not possibly let you pay, you have already done enough" I said with guilt echoed through every articulation.
He looked at me, his eyes met mine and his lips curved upwards and said "well, a coffee date with a pretty girl would do it then? " he flashed a smile that I could not resist. I can feel my cheeks turning red once again. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out, I smiled sheepishly instead.
"It might take a couple of hours until he arrives with the spare keys though" he said as a matter of fact while studying my face. "Hey, would you like to come over to my apartment until you get your keys? I mean, only if you want to.." his eyes trail over to the towel that is now plunging lower over my chest.
