My Only Love

Chapter 36

        Nate felt all his bones ache after a gruelling week but he needed to work out. It was a Saturday and he finally felt free. He had no work for today. He finally had time for himself. He even cooked a chili con carne meal for lunch. It's scent permeating through his small apartment. It smelled so delicious. Push ups were the killer as he was on his 400th push up now. Feeling his body pushed to the limit as he continued onsweat dripping from his body. But it was his release from stress. Allowing his mind to wander and have time to think.

He had a lot on his mind lately. Thinking about Kate counting the time after her birthday where he would finally pour out his heart to her. Fearing the outcome whether her answer would bring him straight to heaven or devastate him completely. It was the risk he was willing to take just so he can finally have his peace and find out where he stood with her. There was also the Harvard affair coming up where Nate would invite her. Hoping that she would be his date. It was a very special occasion. One that would be very memorable for Nate especially if Kate would be there for him. Nate was just waiting for the proper time to ask her as her life was still wrapped up with Ryan. Ryan. He was still competing with him. Even for Kate's time. Nothing had changed. After his proposal he would finally know where his fate lied.

Another thing that occupied his thoughts was Amanda. How she was constantly in his life. Everyday. How he had come to enjoy being in her company and miss her when she was not. She was still being flirty. Constantly playful and seductive which completely enthralled Nate. It was always a thrill for Nate guessing what she would be up to again next. Enjoying every surprise she had planned. He was enjoying their intimacy. Her kisses he craved and having her close to him felt so good. He didn't know what to label what they had.He even felt the pressure that Amanda wanted to be his date for the Harvard affair. He still wanted Kate and no one else. But he felt guilty at the hurt look in her eyes whenever he would evade her question. Feeling as if he was he was just using her cause it was still Kate in his heart. Nothing had changed. He just felt torn and very much confused.

It was also getting harder and harder to resist Amanda and her feminine wiles. Her brand of seduction. Oftentimes she would visit him in his apartment in a butt baring mini dress showing off her shapely long legs or skimpy shorts that was so tiny it left everything else naked. Or parading with almost flimsy see thru blouses. Always braless. Her full firm breasts bobbing about as she puttered around in his kitchen. Studying was also starting to be a battle of restraint as he could feel Amanda so close to him her breast brushing his chest, her legs spread apart as if welcoming him. The scent of her hair intoxicating him. Every temptation a guy cannot possibly endure. After all he was a man capable of weakness. He had reached his limits now. Only wondering how long he can hold on until he could no longer control himself. His want for Amanda was getting stronger. He was not after all a saint. He was starting to want her as much as she wanted him. Lust. Sheer want.That's what he felt for Amanda. Love he knew wasn't even in the picture.

Sweat drifted from his body as he was on his 600th push up. Feeling his muscles taunt and firm. His whole body ached but he felt physically good. A real hot shower would revive him take off all the aches and after that enjoy his lunch. Sleep and be lazy. How much he needed rest. He was about to continue his work out when someone knocked on his door. He wondered who it was. He hoped it was not Amanda as he looked like a mess. He was also smelling like a rat his whole body dripping in sweat. He wished he could ignore the knock but grumbled instead as he got up trying his best to dry himself as he yelled out.

Alright. I'm coming. I'm coming. He called out. The sight of him he didn't care. Whoever was at the door had to take his chances.

Nate opened the door to the sight of Amanda. Her auburn hair free and loose framing her face devoid of makeup but just the rosy tinge in her cheeks. She was again as sexy as hell wearing a light pink tube top her rounded breasts shapely formed against the elastic material. Her nipples equally taunt and firm for Nate to see. Another killer was her shorty denim shorts frayed at the edges that exposed an endless pair of tanned shapely legs that left little to the imagination. Even her tiniest underwear could be seen. A thong. It made him gape not knowing what to say at first. His groin getting hard at the sight of her.
