Attraction 2

15. Give me a chance

When we entered my apartment, Liela went straight to my room and I just stood in the living room not knowing what to do. After a while, I walked into the kitchen making sure I had groceries.

While I was still in the kitchen, Liela came back into the living room. She was in my shirt.

I stilled, my eyes fixed on her. What was going on? Was i dreaming? Why was she suddenly warming up to me? Why was she getting so comfortable? What happened? She was supposed to be mad at me, even if just a little.

" Hope you don't mind me wearing your shirt" she asked, her voice cheerful. My heart was in my mouth, I was getting excited, really excited.

" Uh.. No" I managed to word out and her smile widened now walking towards me in the kitchen.

" I told you I'll do the cooking" she reminded and all I could do was nod, unable to take my eyes off her. I don't know what came over her but I wasn't complaining. She moved around me and was quickly prepping her ingredients.

" Go change" she said after noticing how I was just standing there watching her. Again I nodded before walking away.

..

I entered my room and quickly pulled my shirt over my head. I needed to go back to her as soon as possible.

I took a quick shower and wore sweatpants. I didn't put on a shirt. Liela used to be very attracted to my body and I just wanted to see if she still was.

Walking back into the living room I saw her struggling to get something down from the kitchen cabinets. The shirt she was in had risen up, only being able to hide her butt, but everything else was on sight. Her pretty smooth laps on display.

I swallowed deeply not wanting to let my thoughts wander. I hurried to her and reached for the jar she was trying to get. I allowed my body to press against hers and noticed how she immediately froze.

I picked up the jar bringing it down but didn't move away from her. I really didn't want to move away. I was being a creepy idiot again.

"Um.. Gabriel" Liela muttered and the very aware member between my legs jumped. I hissed and moved away from her.

" Sorry" I offered. She turned around to look at me and I couldn't stop my eyes from dropping to her boobs, her now hard nipples pressed against the shirt, my shirt.

Why the hell was I feeling like everything about her and everything she did since we got to my place screamed seduction.

I handed the jar over to her. While taking it, her fingers brushed against mine very lightly. It wasn't my fingers that felt it but my dick. At this rate, I was going to do something stupid, something really stupid. Because I was beginning to think with my dick and not my brain.

I turned to leave
" Gabriel?" She called softly. I stood but didn't turn back to her
" You can stay if you want to" she told me. I looked at her over my shoulder.
" I'll leave you alone to do your thing. Call me if there's anything you can't reach or anything at all" I said and walked out.

Liela's Pov

Once I was done cooking, myself and Gabriel ate on the kitchen island, I tried not to stare at his body even though I really wanted to. I was attracted to him in every way there was. However I felt insecure, about a lot of things.

Today, I've been trying to act bolder, trying to push my fears aside and just be like we used to. So far, I've been doing good I think.

I didn't want to just be with him like before, I wanted him to ask me out, to see me like a girl, a girl he liked and actually wanted to date.

I looked down at my food, piercing on the broccoli in my plate. I heard Gabriel drop his fork on the table. I lifted my head to see that he was already looking at me.

" Are you okay?" I asked
" No I'm not Liela, I'm going to sleep and wake up" he said seriously, his gaze intense. I looked back at my food
" Wh... What.. I... Don't..."

" Liela. Why won't you move in with me?" He asked all of a sudden.

This topic always made my heart pound and yes it was happening right now.
" I uh... Just... because we lived together doesn't mean we have to now.... I can take care of myself" I say even though I knew fully well he wouldn't buy it.

" That's bullshit. I don't want you to move in with me because we stayed together at home" he said, his brows pulled together
" I want you to move in with me because I want to be able to see you always. Sleep close to you... touch you..."

I quickly cut him off
" Gabriel, that's, that's uh.... We're not a couple.... So ..." I cleared my throat awkwardly, my heart thumping.

" I want you Liela, don't you see it? I'm fucking going crazy... I'm in love with you. I'm freaking in. Love. With you" his voice louder this time.

My eyes were wide.. I didn't expect to hear him confess like this.

" I don't know why you try to push me away all the time. But I'm not having that. Give me a chance please, let me prove how much I love you, how much I want to be your boyfriend please..." He took my hands in his now.
" Please baby. I'll do whatever you want. Give me a chance to take you on dates and everything else couples do.. I'll learn" he added.

My eyes were going to pop out of their sockets. This was him asking me to he his girlfriend right? I didn't think it would be so easy to draw it out of his mouth. I shift on my seat. I looked at our hands, his completely enveloping mine.

" Uh..." I stop
" Please... " Gabriel said, his eyes sincere and desperate. He didn't have to.

I wanted to throw myself at him happily and scream that I'll be his girlfriend but I held it back and simply settled for a nod. His grip on my hands tightened as his eyes seemed to dilate.

Maybe not believing I would accept. I haven't agreed to move in with him though.

I slowly walked into my dorm the next day and my roommates all turned to look at me. I paused on the spot not being able to help the blush that crept up my neck

" Let me guess" it was Rosaline that spoke.
" No no no, don't guess please" I quickly spoke up but
" You slept over at your boyfriend's place" she screamed, her hands going to cover her mouth in disbelief. I sighed

" He's not my..." I stopped. Wait, he.... he's my boyfriend now right? He asked me out and I said yes, I mean, I nodded but all the same. Gabriel is my boyfriend?

It was only now dawning on me, the effect was only now beginning to show itself. My cheeks quickly began to redden. The squeal of my roommates didn't help matters.

" Oh my God. Guys, she's blushing....." Helen says pointing at me with her mouth dropping open.
In embarrassment, I turn my back at them using my hands to cover my face as a huge smile spread across my lips.

They hurried to me and started prodding me for answers to their questions.

" Liela, tell us.... what happened?" Michelle asked as they kept teasing and laughing. I don't think I've ever been this excited but... Now that I was his girlfriend and he was my boyfriend. MY BOYFRIEND.

How do I face him when we meet again? Do I hug him? Do I... Would he kiss me? How! .... Oh my God, I'll worry about that later.

....

After I settled down. I told my roommates Gabriel asked me out. I couldn't hide it and I really needed to tell someone so I could believe I wasn't dreaming. They seemed so excited for me, I've never had other people be so happy for me before, but it felt good.

The way I was excited, smiling, blushing, screaming and jumping around while writing this chapter. It's not the best I've written but I hope y'all love it too .

I'm trying to at least update once a week instead of leaving y'all hanging as someone suggested. I love y'all, REALLY.
