"Thanks for walking me up David" I beamed after practically limping to my door with David's help. His light blue eyes found me then flickered away as his cheeks heated up. "Yeah. No problem. I should probably get going now" he mumbled awkwardly as he scratched the back of his neck causing him to flex effortlessly. My eyes glanced to his biceps then back to his eyes in shock.Why the hell are you looking on his biceps?! Don't do that?!
I cringed at the mental scowling then said to him as I stared at his eyes pointedly " You can come you know? Since you have the day off and all". His eyes found mine again and the widened momentarily. "Uh.....come in?" He asked nervously as he chewed on his bottom lip and I smiled up at him.
Keep your eyes on his eyes Marsha.
"Yeah. Why not? I could use the company." I said shrugging as I twisted the door knob and I watched as his eyes flickered to my sports bra. I flushed at this and almost bursted out with laughter when he squeezed his eyes shut. "Your boyfriend" he muttered in what seemed like a strain when he opened back his eyes and I rolled mine. "He's....at work." I said quietly leaning on the doorframe.
It felt like every time I was reminded that I hardly had Michael to myself I got depressed.
"Oh" he muttered glancing to the door and I stared at him as he nervously clenched and unclenched his fist around the miniature soccer ball in his hand. "So. Are you getting in?" I asked and after a moment of evident contemplation he nodded and paced slowly behind me as if he was waiting for something to jump out at him.
"You can stay in the living room. I'll be back in a jiffy" I said limping to my room where I ran to the closet and quickly shrugged on a tank top. I had showered by the gym already. I released my hair from its ponytail then turned on the air conditioning unit. When I was done I quickly limped back inside the living room but ended up tripping over the last step.
"Shit"I muttered in a hiss when I my knees came down on the tiles harshly. "Marsha" David called getting up from his seat to assist me but I had already been getting up when he was making his way to me. "You okay?" He asked helping me so that I wouldn't have to put too much weight on the bruised leg. "Peachy"I grimaced as he ushered me to lay on the couch.
"First Aid Kit?" he asked once my leg was safely rested on the couch and I shook my head as I tried to push away the stinging. "Never used it" I muttered and he sighed as he moved towards the bedroom. Seconds later he reappeared with a small white kit with a Red Cross. "How'd you find it so fast-" "I work here. Remember?" he said as he opened it and I hummed in understanding.
After a few hisses and pinches he had applied peroxide and an ointment to it then he placed a plaster over it. Soon I had my injured leg stretched over his lap where he sat beside me. "Sorry for. Bothering you" I said quietly and he smiled as he casually glanced back yo me. "You're not bothering me" he commented and I hummed in response.
"So. Tell me about yourself" I asked and glanced back to the vase on the coffee table as he mindlessly stroked my knee. "You want to know about me? My name is David Charles. I'm twenty. My entire family lineage leads to Peru as I am Peruvian. And....I guess you can say I'm a work out freak" he said with a measly grin and I smiled as I watched him.
"It shows" I complimented unintentionally while our eyes held each other and his pupils dilated as he blushed. "I mean. You're fit. Not that I'm observing you are anything. But you're .....high maintenance" I babbled feeling my face getting hot and his smile stretched over his lips. "I could say the same" he started to say but paused for a bit as he cocked his head to the side.
"But I may lie because there's not a word good enough or a category great enough to associate with you" he continued then bit down on his bottom lip. "Oh" I said staring at him speechlessly, my heart beating way too hard just because of a compliment from someone who I'm not even in a relationship with.
"Honey! I'm home!"
A/N : kinda long cause I haven't been here in a while. Enjoy 😁
