Attraction 2

16. Cute and seductive

     Later that day.

After lectures, Cirus and I, he's my gay friend who unfortunately received a punch in the face from Gabriel. He sustained a bruise that thankfully didn't affect his eye but was very close to his eye.

    We stood outside the lecture hall, the bruise was plastered. Cirus was a slim guy with lean muscles, he was taller than me, probably by 2 or 3 inches. He had black hair and brown eyes, he was a good looking guy.

He didn't necessarily dress feminine but his demeanor and his stance gave it all away.

    " I'm so sorry Cirus. I didn't know he was there and didn't expect him to do such a thing. He really isn't bad, I'm sorry" I apologized for the hundredth time. He groaned.
" Stop apologizing.... My ears are sick of it. I know it's not your fault" he says.
" But still...." I tried to argue.

" It's just sad that I get to meet your man in such a way... But" he smiles suddenly
" I think that was so hot of him. I mean, I couldn't really see him since I got have blinded by the hit but still, the figure and the pain from the punch. Yeah.... I have to approve" he sighed

I had no words to say to that.
" He promised to apologise" I tell him. I liked how Gabriel being called my man sounded. It made me feel fuzzy.

Cirus waved his hand in the air dismissively.
" You forced him, don't say it like he really wants to apologise" his eyes bored as the words leave his mouth. I grabbed his arm and leaned into his side...

" Don't say that...." I giggle a little knowing he was right.

    Gabriel had kept calling and texting me. It felt unreal, he'd call me pet names that made my stomach flutter. I'd been feeling light resently and maybe unnecessarily giddy.

He would be coming to pick me up today for a....date? I felt nervous but mostly excited. My roommates had decided to include themselves in dressing me up. They argued for a while before settling for me to dress cute and seductive, this was Michelle's statement.

I wore a floral dress, it was mini, like really mini, if the wind blew then my dignity would be showcased immediately.

I've had the dress for a while but never really wore it. It was an off the shoulder dress. The front that held my boobs was gathered to form a flower look.

I wore sandal heels and carried a small bag that could only hold my phone and few tiny items like lip gloss.

My straight hair just fell to my back. My phone dinged and I looked at it. It was a text message from Gabriel.

   You ready love? I'm here but take your time
                                           Just now.

    I smiled. Just as I was about to leave, Michelle put a little flower hair clip in my hair. I waved at them and head out.

Coming out of the dorm building, I saw Gabriel leaning on his car. He had black pants, a t-shirt and a leather jacket on. His hair wasn't his usual messy look. It seemed combed and arranged. God! This was my boyfriend.

His eyes found me and I tensed up. He leaned off his car and smiled at me, I smiled back and started walking. He met me half way and I just stood looking up at him, I didn't know what to say.

He gently held me into a hug. My heart, my heart would burst and evaporate out of my body. He smelt so...... good and his arms around me felt so strong and protective.

" You're beautiful" he says close to my ear..
" Uh... Um . Thank you" i stutter feeling my cheeks heat up. He gave my lower back a little pat before pulling from the hug but held my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine.

I was stiff, I didn't know what to expect or how to feel. I've never dated and I didn't know what to do.

      Gabriel drove us to a restaurant. We got Chinese food. We were mostly quiet while eating. I didn't know what to do and Gabriel didn't bring up anything, I guess we knew everything about each other already. There was nothing to ask.

We went back to the car when we finished .

" Is there anywhere you want to go?" Gabriel asked. I looked at him, I tried to think really but I couldn't think of anywhere.

He went quiet. I began to fist my dress in my hands nervously. It felt awkward now.

" I'm sorry if this is kind of awkward" Gabriel spoke.
" I don't really know how this should work. I haven't really taken a girl on a date before" he admitted.

I kept my eyes down.
" I want to make sure you're comfortable so please, if there's anything you might want to do or try. Do not hesitate to tell me" he added. I finally raised my head.

" Gabriel... I'm not used to outings either. I'm happy just being around you" I tell him. He nodded and took one of my hand in his
" Simply having you with me makes me happy too. But, I'll make sure you enjoy every moment you spend with me. I'll learn, I promise and our next date would be better" he assured me. I smiled with a nod

I was however wondering when he was going to kiss me. I wanted him to but I was embarrassed to say it or make the first move.

He drove me back to my dorm, hugged me, told me he loved me and watched me go in before leaving. He didn't kiss me. Gabriel didn't kiss me. I felt so disappointed to the point it hurt in my stomach.
