chapter 5

Fanetta's POV

The feeling of his lips against mine is exquisite and exhilarating, when we were together we never really made out or kissed, on my part I thought kissing was gross and unhygienic and he's respected that and only kissed me when he felt it was necessary, thinking about it now I think he only respected that because he was saving his lips for the hard work he would be doing on Danielle's body. I cringe in disgust and pull away from him,just thinking about him with her makes me want to slap him hard across the face and kick him out of my house.

"What's wrong?" He asks with wild eyes and swollen lips

"We shouldn't be doing this" I say and look away the thought of him and Danielle together still lingers in my head

"But you said you needed me" his voice is full of confusion as his rubs his hand over the back of his neck.

"I said I needed you,but that doesn't mean you should kiss me"

"You aren't making a lot of sense here" he says giving me a questioning look,he clearly doesn't see the angle I'm coming from.

"What I mean is that, I'm not emotionally stable to handle this"I gesture between the two of us "I can't just let you come back into my life after you hurt me and betrayed my trust its not that easy" I can feel myself tearing up,I won't cry in front of him not today or ever again

"But you trust me enough to kiss me back" he scoffs and stands up.

"You kissed me first" I remind him with an eye roll but playing my words over in my head they seem extremely childish "I'm sorry that I kissed you back and said I needed you I wasn't just momentarily disoriented I didn't mean to give you the wrong idea" I add

He raises an eyebrow obviously waiting for me to continue

"I just thought you came here to talk to me and sort out our problems" I finish with a shrug

He takes his former sitting position and there's awkward silence for about five minutes before he finally speaks up

"Umm yeah I'm sorry too,I didn't mean to kiss you and lie to you. I'm sorry for those other things I did to you"

"Yeah its okay" I say while standing up "do you want anything to drink or eat, it was rude of me not to offer you anything"

"Nope I'm good,had enough to eat already" he says tapping his lips and moves to stand next to me

"You're disgusting" I say and shove him lightly while laughing

"No I'm not,okay maybe I am but that's why you love me am I right" he says with a smug look on his face

"Love you" I scoff and make my way to the kitchen. I do love him but I won't admit that, he hurt me and I don't intend to jump into anything yet, I'll take this slow. "Love isn't exactly the word"

"I know I know" he says with an awkward laugh that actually sounds like a cough but I'm not ready to call him out yet " I'll just have to make you fall in love with me again  I guess"

"Yeah you can start by getting me some ice cream and fixing me some lunch cause I'm really starving and craving ice cream now"

"Really" he says while smiling his adorable lopsided smile that reaches his eyes

"Yeah and maybe you can talk my parents into spending more time with me"

"That won't be an issue, your mom loves me" he takes a step closer to me " but really Fannie I want to earn your love again and I'm willing to do anything to make sure about that" he says cupping my cheeks in his hand

If I don't stop looking into his eyes I'll kiss him again "yah sure, I want that too" I say and grab a bottle of water

We spend the next one hour  talking about everything and anything until my phone beeps I glance at the screen,its a message from my mom and I can already tell that its another excuse about coming hone late. Not that I mind though Michael is really good company.

"I'll take you up on that offer of food I'm starving and I miss your experimental cooking" he says

"Of course" I say with an eye roll "but you have to help me" I grab his wrists and help him stand up

"So what are we going to cook?"he asks  while rummaging through the cupboards

"I don't know" I actually have no idea on what to cook and their are numerous options to chose from in this vast kitchen

"How about something with spaghetti?" He offers

"Of course" I say and clap my hands with glee "my favorite"

"I know" he says with a smug grin plastered across his face "that's exactly why I suggested it"

Halfway through the meal his phone rings and vibrates on the counter top "aren't you going to get that?" I ask while filling a glass with orange juice

"Just give me a second" he says while bringing the spoon he's using to stir the sauce to his lips

Being the nosy human being I am ,I walk over to where his phone is and glance at the caller ID displayed on the screen. Danielle. I cringe in disgust ,I thought they broke up. He moves to where his phone is while I stare at him daring him to tell me another lie. He wipes his hand across his apron and picks the phone up then sets it back on the counter.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" I gesture to his phone using my glass

"Nope. I know what she has to say and honestly I'm not ready to hear her shit. Besides" he adds with a grin "if I want to fix things with you answering her phone call while I'm in Your kitchen isn't a good start"

I'm extremely pleased with this revelation but I lift my cup to my lips to hide my smile

Two plates of spaghetti later I'm lying on my stomach in my bed complaining of a stomach ache while Michael helps me with my homework

"Its hurts so bad" I whine

"Well if you didn't eat so much you wouldn't be complaining and whining like a baby" he looks so adorable with a pencil between his lips and his eyebrows scrunched  together in concentration

"You had two plates too and its not my fault my cooking is so damn Delicious"

"Yeah right" his voice is full of sarcasm

I stare out of my window and notice that its really dark and as much as I want him to stay here forever I don't want his parents to get worried he must have noticed me staring out cause he stands to his feet

"Its pretty late I should get going"

"I'll see you to the door" I say and groan as I try to lift myself from the bed

When we get to the door we stare at each other awkwardly for some seconds before he speaks up

"Thanks for asking me to come over and giving me another chance"

"Yeah" can this get any more awkward, like he reads my thoughts Michael steps closer and for a second I think he's about to kiss me but he surprises me by kissing my forehead

"Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Yeah night" I say while he opens the door and door and walks out.

I drag myself up the stairs to my room and throw myself on the bed while kicking my legs in the air in a childish manner. I have to tell Avery about this I say to myself as I grab my phone and dial her number she answers on the second ring and ten seconds later she's squealing over the phone as I tell her everything that happened today at my house with Michael.
