The Choice

38) Dionne

I exit the shower humming a song, I smile to myself if Aurora was here she'd throw a pillow to my head if she was studying.

I apply lotion on my body, but before I remove the towel from around my body the doorbell rings. I stride for the door to open it for Aurora, she said she's getting groceries today, toiletries as well.

I open the door only to find Aurora not there.

It's a guy.

The hottest guy I ever seen.

I slam the door shut in his face.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I look down at myself with only a towel around my body and another on my head drying my hair.

The doorbell rings again and my eyes widen.

"WHO'S THERE?!"

I call from behind the door, I hear silence then he speaks, fuck that's hot. His voice is muffled, but still.

"uh, Joe?"

" who's Joe!?"

I'm met by another silence. I purse my lips then open the door a feather.

Fuck. Again.

He has black hair that reflects the lights from the hallway and wears black pants and a black cotton shirt that clings to his toned body and muscles. He has a bit fair skin. I look at his face and behold the small smirk there, his eyes dip to my towel then up to my face. I remember him, he was the guy standing with Aurora in the morning.

"Am I interrupting?" he asks raising his brow a bit.

"No." I cringe this came out a bit harsh.

"Is Aurora here?" he asks and I shake my head.

"she'll be here anytime soon." I say, and he surveys me again.

His eyes dip to the hollow of my breast and I move to cover myself.

"she'll be there." I call then move to close the door again when a hand stops it.

"when will she be here?" he asks and I repeat, "soon. Can I close the door now?"

He smiles a devilish smile trailing his eyes on my body again then nods and I close it letting out an exhale.

"I didn't ask who's Joe." I mutter to myself then push off the door to my room again.

I finish putting on a t-shirt with some matching shorts and let my hair down when the doorbell rings again. This fucker.

I stomp for the door heaving it open to be met by a wide eyed Aurora with bags in her hands.

"sweetie, sorry." I say taking the plastic bags from her hands and place them on the counter.

"What got you so jumpy?" she asks placing the others next to the ones I placed going to grab some water.

I wave a hand, "nothing, I thought you were someone else. Actually he asked for you. His name is Joe. Who's Joe?"

She smiles and I raise a brow, "I'll tell you after I take a shower and change. Start dinner, Didi."

I nod and grab the food heading for the stove as she heads for her room.

"Omer's brother."

My fork clinks to the plate as it fell from my hand.

"Mughrabi has a brother?" I ask wearily as if she's joking. I've known him for more than ten years and he never mentioned having a brother. Yes, he is private, but not that much and not to that extent.
