Innocent Fascination

Chapter One

I have made some changes to the next few chapter and I will be up loading brand new ones soon. I've gone through all of the chapters I had already written and fixed parts and added parts so even if you have already read the first 3 chapters I suggest you read them again because it will be helpful to follow the story xoxo

I awoke as the morning sun seeped through the bedroom curtains of my new house. I had just moved into this house maybe 2 days ago, and I have a lot of redecorating to do. The back yard is the first thing I'm having done, I want the edge of my garden to be filled with all types of flowers and bushes, in the middle I want a lovely blossom tree, not a huge one, a small one. The grass needs mowing too, can't forget that. The gardener will be here around 12pm, it's supposed to be a good company, Marissa, my best friend, suggested it to me.  

I rolled over and looked at the digital clock on my bed side table, it read, 9:43am. I still had enough time to have breakfast, shower and get changed in time for the gardener to get here.  

I sat up, rubbing my eyes to wake myself up. I did that lovely morning stretch that gives you're back the right click that you need in the morning. I hobbled down the stairs, still tired from my amazing night's sleep, and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast. I only made pancakes as I only wanted a quick one.  

By the time, I had finished making and then eating my pancakes it was 10:17. I decided to watch some TV before I go shower. I put on the ID channel, as of course it is my favourite channel and everyone knows it. I must have got caught up in the show because I heard the doorbell. I check the time and it was 11:47. Oh fuck.  

I rushed to the door and opened it, an old man stood there in company uniform, well not too old, maybe 62. I smiled the best smile I could as I probably looked like shit right now because I haven't showered. "Morning, sorry lost track of time." I greeted him and he smiled.  

"That's okay ma'am, I am a tad early." He replied with a chuckle, 

"Um, well I need to go shower is that okay? You can go straight out back." I pointed behind me as I instructed,  

"Yes of course that's fine, just need to get the supplies," he turned around and walked back to his truck. I left the door open and walked up my staircase to shower and change.  

I heard voices outside but they were muffled so I couldn't understand what they were saying. I grabbed the fluffiest towel I had and walking into bathroom to shower. The shower was nice and warm but cool enough to wake me up properly. 

As I walked out the bathroom and heard heavy boots walking through the house downstairs. Wow gardeners are loud. I walked back into my room and got changed into simple black skin tight jeans, white blouse and left my feet barefoot. I put on a few rings, necklaces and bracelets. I brushed my ombre hair and left it hang, but making sure it didn't cover the shaved side of my head. I finished getting ready by adding light make up.  

Once again, I walked into the kitchen, but this time just to make a cup of coffee. While I was getting the sugar, milk and of course the mug to put the coffee in, I heard the footsteps walk to the doorway of the kitchen and a small knock to get my attention. "Yeah?" I called without turning around, 

"Um sorry to bother you." That voice made me turn around, and that voice definitely did not belong to that old man. "I waited until you were down here to speak to you, I'm not bothering you am I?"  

I stood awestruck by the man who could be a model that stood in my kitchen doorway. "Uh n-no you're not bothering me, w-what can I do for you?" I'd taken one look at this man and I was stuttering, what was wrong with me? 

"Well the man who was at the door was my uncle, I'm the gardener that will be doing the work, I thought it would be polite to introduce myself." Wow he's like perfect, his brown eyes smiled along with him, his smile was just so...so...god I couldn't even explain it. I didn't know what was happening to me, I'd never been like this around a guy before.
