Ben arrived home half an hour later and took the stairs to his room. There was no one in the house the time got home but the TV in the sitting room on the first floor was on. He switched it off and walked straight into his room.
He dropped his bag carelessly on the bed and undressed himself rigidly like a tired robot. Afterwards, he made his way to the bathroom.
After a refreshing bath, he layed flat on his bed and was about to fall asleep when his phone rang and vibrated on the bed close to where his left hand rested. "Who is calling my phone now?" He mumbled to himself as he answered the call without looking at the name.
"Hello' Ben on the line" "hey its me Aina, I think you forgot something in church and I have it with me"
"Oh my! What... did.... I forget?" He asked anxiously as in his thoughts there were no missing item he could think of at that time.
"Its your iPod. Remember you asked me to help you hold it while you were trying to help bring out the bags from the bus" she replied.
"Oh Yea that's true, my bad... but am too tired to go out now, please can you help me bring it to my house on your way home?" He begged.
"Ok send me your home adress now so I can drop by and give it back" she replied. "Ok I will do that now" Ben replied back and hung up the call afterwards.
He sent his home address to her, wore a blue armless top and a short jean and quickly arranged his room as best as he could at that moment.
Minutes later, Aina had arrived at the estate and called Ben that she was at the door.
Ben rushed to open the door to let her in."Here is your iPod" Aina said as she handed the small device to Ben. "Oh thanks, how nice can you get?" He replied with a small grin, but Aina did not find it funny because the moment she saw Ben, the flashes of his sexy looking body came through in her head as they both looked at each other straight in the eye.
"So emmm...I think I will have to take my leave now" Aina broke the silence.
Ben was an expert when it comes to knowing what a girl has in mind in a time like that, so he grabbed her softly by the hand and pulled her close to him with his eyes gazing at her like she was a missing treasure that is worth millions of dollars ready to do the 'expected' but he was unsure of her feelings at that instant so he decided to take things slow.
"You can't come to my house and just leave like that. Are you not thirsty? Please sit let me offer you some water" he spoke in a cool romantic way.
"Oh ok if you don't mind" she replied in a gentle tone as her heart pounded like she just met a wild animal. Ben ushered her to the closest cushion from where they stood and made his way to the kitchen.
He came out with a glass filled with orange juice. "Am sorry but I think we ran out of natural water, all we have in the house now is mainly 'juice.he said with a small grin on his handsome face as he stretched the his hand to give her the glass of juice.
"I really don't mind, thanks anyway" she replied and stretched out her right hand to receive the glass from Ben.
When she had finished the whole juice, she dropped the glass cup on a stool close to where she sat and was about to speak but did not know what to say because for some reasons she wanted to stay a while longer. Ben knew that it was the best moment to 'cast his net in this small lake' in search of a lone fish.
"I have been looking at you for a while now and I think I have developed feelings for you. I know that I sound too straight forward now but its the truth. And its my heart I am poring out to you in the oddest way ever." Ben said in a cool way but from the way he said it, there was a sure sence of confidence.
"Oh! Really___I....never notice that you could think like that about me" she replied in a rather perplexed tone.
"Yea I want us to go beyond friends, you know what I mean." Ben said.
"Emm.....I...I...li..li.....like you too... but I really don't..... know what to say now" she stammered.
"You don't have to talk much, all you need to do is say yes and we are cool, you know..... like ready to go" Ben said as he walked to where she sat, grabbed her by the hand and pulled her really close to him until it was like he wanted to enter her body. Aina felt chills as goose bumps rose on her skin. Her heart felt like melted ice.
Ben now have her exactly where he wanted her to be, he slowly held her neck and pulled her until her lips met his.
They were into each other for a brief moment then she pulled away feeling really shy. "I....I have to go now, I am late for a family meeting" she said. "Er Yea.....ok .....em I will call you later tonight" Ben replied as he followed her to the door and opened the door for her. "Ok bye" Ben added as she went out the door.
The moment he closed the door, he felt like laughing and shouting at the same time but if he did that, the neighbors might think something bad had happened so he mellowed and went straight to his room.
He was about to lay on his bed when his phone rang again. "Oh my God! Who is it again" he said to himself as he picked up the call. "Hello who is on the line?" Ben asked. "Hey its Debby how are you doing" she replied. "Oh Debby what's up, I never knew you would call this early but anyway I am home now" he said.
"Oh that's great, well I just got home too and I am already missing you guys" she retorted. They both spoke for a while longer on the phone till they had nothing else to say to each other and bade themselves good-bye.
