3.

As I step through the front door, a sense of calm washes over me, the familiar sights and sounds of home offering a welcome refuge from the chaos of the day. I kick off my shoes and let out a contented sigh, feeling the tension of the day melt away with each passing moment.

I make my way into the cozy living room, sinking into the plush cushions of the sofa with a sense of relief. The soft glow of lamplight bathes the room in a warm, inviting ambiance, casting long shadows across the walls.

With a quiet hum of contentment, I reach for my phone and scroll through the messages and notifications that have accumulated throughout the day. Amongst the usual flurry of texts and social media updates, I find a message from Zoe, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips as I read her words of encouragement.

As I set my phone aside and lean back against the cushions, I let out a contented sigh, allowing myself to bask in the tranquility of the moment. The gentle hum of the television provides a soothing backdrop, lulling me into a state of relaxation as I let my mind wander.

As I sink deeper into the comfort of the sofa, the sudden sound of the doorbell jolts me out of my reverie. I glance at the clock, surprised by the late hour, and wonder who could be calling at this time.

With a curious frown, I rise from the sofa and make my way to the front door, the hardwood floors cool beneath my bare feet. As I approach, the doorbell rings again, more insistent this time, echoing through the quiet of the house.

Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I reach for the doorknob and swing the door open, revealing the unexpected figure standing on the threshold.

"Clapton?" I exclaim, surprise coloring my voice as I take in his presence.

Clapton stands before me, his usual air of confidence replaced by an uncharacteristic uncertainty. He shifts on his feet, avoiding my gaze as if unsure of what to say.

"You know," he says, a hint of excitement in his voice, "I noticed you checking out my skateboard earlier. Are you interested in learning how to skate?" Clapton's words catch me off guard, his tone laced with a mixture of teasing and genuine interest. Despite the lingering tension between us, there's a spark of excitement in his eyes that's hard to ignore.

His words are playful, but there's a challenge hidden beneath the surface, a dare to prove myself worthy of his attention. And despite my initial reluctance, I can't help but feel a surge of curiosity at the prospect of learning something new.

"I'll have you know," I reply with a grin, matching his playful tone, "I'm a quick learner. Besides, how hard can it be?"

With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, I follow Clapton outside, the cool night air brushing against my skin as we step onto the empty street. The glow of streetlights casts long shadows across the pavement, illuminating the way as Clapton sets his skateboard down with a confident flourish.

"First things first," he says, gesturing for me to join him on the pavement. "You've got to get comfortable with the board. Here, I'll show you."

With practiced ease, Clapton demonstrates the basics of skating, guiding me through the proper stance and technique. Despite my initial awkwardness, his patient instruction and encouragement soon have me gliding across the pavement with newfound confidence.

As we skate together beneath the stars, the tension of earlier forgotten, I can't help but feel a sense of exhilaration coursing through my veins. And in that moment, I realize that maybe, just maybe, Clapton Davis isn't the person I thought he was.

As we continue our skate session under the dim glow of streetlights, Clapton's playful demeanor begins to shine through. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he suggests a new approach to my learning.

"Alright, let's try something a little different," he says, a grin spreading across his face. "Hop on the board, and I'll give you a hand."

I raise an eyebrow at his suggestion, unsure of what he has in mind. But curiosity gets the better of me, and I position myself on the skateboard as Clapton stands behind me, his hands resting lightly on my waist.

"Okay, just relax," he says, his voice reassuring as he guides me forward. "I've got you."

With Clapton's support, I find myself gliding along the pavement with newfound confidence, his presence behind me lending a sense of stability to my movements. Despite the initial awkwardness of our position, there's a sense of trust that develops between us, a shared bond forged in the quiet of the night.

As we skate together, the world falling away around us, I can't help but feel a rush of exhilaration coursing through my veins. With Clapton's steady guidance, I find myself daring to push beyond my comfort zone, embracing the freedom of movement that the skateboard offers.

As Clapton's arms encircle me, guiding me forward on the skateboard, a fleeting sense of exhilaration washes over me. But beneath the surface, a nagging voice whispers reminders of caution.

Despite the rush of adrenaline and the thrill of the moment, I can't shake the memory of Clapton's earlier behavior. The hurtful words, the mocking tone — they linger in the recesses of my mind, a stark reminder of the person Clapton truly is.

As we glide along the pavement, his touch gentle against my waist, I can't help but feel a sense of conflict brewing within me. On one hand, there's a part of me that's drawn to Clapton's charm and charisma, captivated by the excitement of the moment. But on the other hand, there's a voice of reason that refuses to be silenced, warning me of the danger that lurks beneath his smooth exterior.

I steal a glance over my shoulder, meeting Clapton's gaze with a mixture of uncertainty and apprehension. Despite the warmth in his eyes, I can't help but see the shadow of doubt lingering there, a reminder of the darkness that lies within him.

And as we continue to skate together, the night stretching out before us like an endless abyss, I know that I must tread carefully. For all his charm and allure, Clapton Davis is no good for me, a fact that I must never forget.
