Chapter 14

It was a huge mistake allowing Gabby to stay inside my apartment. Now, I was floating endlessly in limbo—my thoughts continuously drifting to what happened the other day. I should have not let her stay too long; I never thought that, despite my resoluteness, it would be very easy for her to break it as if it was made of a fragile glass.

I slowly made my way back to my room from the kitchen and saw Gabby sitting on my bed staring blankly into the space. She did not bother to turn her head at the sound of the door's creak which gave me the impression that she was deep into her thoughts. For a moment, I allowed myself to just stare at her beautiful face and, no matter how many times I had seen her, she never failed to captivate me. I decided to approach her, concerned that she might not eat the noodles if it became cold, and deliberately coughed to get her attention.

She slowly turned her head and gave me the same blank look that she was sporting a while ago, I handed her a Styrofoam cup of instant noodles. "Here's your noodles." When she merely continued to stare at me silently, I rolled my eyes impatiently and said, rather sarcastically, "I'm sorry if all that I have is instant noodles. I surely can't afford those expensive ramen noodles in those high-end Japanese restaurants that you probably prefer."

Gabby finally reacted with a chuckle, laughter and contrition were glimmering in her mesmerizing gray eyes. "I'm sorry, Ashley, please don't misunderstand my silence. It is not that I prefer something other than what you are giving to me; it's just that I am so entranced by your beauty that I momentarily lose the ability to speak."
My mouth went slightly agape and I swear that the blood that was circulating inside my body had probably climbed up to my hot cheeks.

"You have no idea how tempting you are right now with that beautiful pink stain on your cheeks." Gabby commented calmly as she took the cup noodles and fork from my hand—her eyes eyeing me seductively.

God, how can she be so calm when she is turning me into a mess?

When I managed to recover, I slowly shook my head and said, "Ha! You know what—I did not remember giving you a book on flattery when you went to Owl's bookstore so I don't understand where your cheesy lines come from."

Gabby twirled the noodles with her fork like a royalty before eating it. She silently chewed the noodles and, God, forgive me but she looked damn good enough to eat with the sensual way that she was eating her food. I never knew that looking at a person who was eating could be akin to watching porn, although I had not really watched any porn—oops, I was lying! I watched porn but not because I want to but because of my friend, Sarah, who tricked me into watching it. And, I swore that I only watched it once—I could barely tolerate watching love scenes from romantic movies how much more porn?

"Are you hungry—do you want to eat?" She asked nonchalantly although a look of amusement was reflected in her eyes; as if her question was hinting a particular innuendo. Gosh, could it be that she was able to read what was in my mind?

"Ha? W-what?"

Gabby smirked victoriously as if I'd just confirmed whatever was in her mind and shook her head.
