Susan's POV
I've finally made up my mind to attend youth's party,
I'll just have to call Carla , I have no idea about what I could wear to a party,
Left for me I would go dressed in a track suit, I honestly do not care about people's opinion,
But then , the primitive part of me desperately wants to look good for youth,
I dunno why
yeah great! so much for not feeling what he feels for me

I pick up my phone to call Carla , in the past few weeks Carla and I have gotten awkwardly close, she would come over to my place and fill my ears with all the latest gossips and spicy details, trust Carla, she is the queen of gist.
Besides Jake, I haven't been open to anyone else about my feelings for youth, but trust Carla she already sensed it, she blackmailed me into admitting it,
She told me she was gonna let go of her feelings for youth, just for my sake, and for the fact that
She was tired of one sided love.
She's just a charm, I've never had a female friend , I'm glad she's fitting into that vacuum.

"Hello hot ass" Carla says excitedly as soon as she picks the call, she's always so giddy,
Who wouldn't love her?

"Hey Carla, how's it going?" I reply

"Pretty boring , can I come over?" She asks sweetly
the last thing I want now is Carla's endless gists, but how can I say no, besides this morning seem pretty dull,

"Aye, sure" I reply

"So what's up at your end?" She asks just then I remember why I had actually called, I had forgotten, I shouldn't go for this party since I would be cutting ties with him after my appointment comes to an end, I should avoid him instead
But deeply I crave so much to see him

"Uhm Carla , its about youths party, I have no idea on what to wear, I was thinking if you could help out" I asks

"Are you kidding me?, you're finally gonna come for the party?!? Oh thank goodness, girl you're young, you should live life a little" she says excitedly, she just sounds like jake,
Jake!
How come I never thought of that, I'm gonna get Jake and Carla together, first I'm gonna make him come for the party with me.

"Don't worry hottie, I know just the perfect dress, I'll stop by the mall and get you something, I can bet my life that there's nothing party"able" in your wardrobe " she teases , and I laugh , I thank her and end the call

I hear my door bell , was Carla here already? Well that was very fast,

I open my door to meet those pair of blue eyes staring at me, I can see worry written all over his face, but yet his beauty is out of this world, a beautiful man I would call him.youth

"Uh-h-hi, morning " he stutters

"Hi youth, is something wrong? " I ask

"I need to tell you something" he says hesitantly,

I wonder what he was about to tell me, I'm not sure I was ready to hear it, having him standing before me is making me breathless, how can he affect me in this way

"Uhnm okay, do you wanna come in?" I asks without even considering that I would be playing with fire,

"Uhm I was just about to make coffee, you want some?" I asks

I can feel the
tension between us

"Yeah sure" he reply , is he nervous? How can someone so perfect be nervous? Why? Did I make him nervous?

"I'm sorry i'm a bit out of coffee, I think i've just got latté " i explain, I planned on going grocery shopping later today

"Don't stress it, latte is fine" he inform

"Okay then, I'll be back in 2mins" . i inform , and I head for the kitchen

doorbell rings ,

"Uhm Susan! " i hear youth call out

"Just get it, I made a mess in here, i'll be out soon" i tell him

I had earlier planned on just making coffee, but then this is the first time youth is in my house,
So an idea hit me, I'm gonna make pasta , I should get it done in 30mins, I just hope he isn't in a hurry,

"Youth! Who's at the door?" I asks from the kitchen

It was probably Carla ,

"Uhm its a woman" he reply with his voice raised so i could hear him from the kitchen,

A woman? Was he referring to Carla as a woman? That was too formal, I mean considering the fact that he had slept with her,
Ouch the thought of them together stings

"Let her in, I'll be out soon" I inform,

"Uh Susan, you still alive in there? " youth ask jokingly

I giggle,

"Unfortunately Mr Benson , I'm alive and I'll be out soon" i reply grinning to myself

Gosh I'm such an idiot, one moment I'm trying to forget about him and the next moment I'm smiling like a fool because of something he said, great!

"You said that 30mins ago, you're really bad at hospitality" he playfully yells making me laugh.

I wonder why Carla is yet to make her way into the kitchen to see what I'm doing or tease me about having youth around,

Well that's strange
Thank God I'm finally done, it took like ages to get this right

I'm about to dish out the pasta into a medium sized bowl but change my mind, it should remain in the pot while I get my plates, I don't want it to get cold, i try to take out plates from cabinet , its so high, i'm on my toes now and my hands still doesn't still grab them , why does my cabinet have to be this high?!
I sigh and trying reaching for it once more
just then i feel a presence behind me, a familiar minty fragrance fill my nostril, youth , he swiftly brings down the plates with ease and
place it on the kitchen counter below us,
He remains in his position just behind me
Oh God
"Thanks" i muffle
"Considering your height , shouldn't your cabinet be lower ?" he smirks, I can feel his husky breath behind my ear, I stay still as possible, its so difficult to breath with him this close to me, I do not like the fact that he could affect me in this way ,

" I didn't hear you come in" I say trying distract myself from the swell of his chest which I felt behind me, I can feel the rising and falling of his chest, I hear his heart beating , its so rhythmic,
My goodness susan! You're insane , what's so rhythmic about Someone's heart beat

Without thinking I turn to face him , gosh! I shouldn't have made this turn,

His lips are a few inches from lips, I'm breathless, this isn't going well,
I'm looking up into his eyes, I want to look away but I'm glued
I fight for self composure but I fail at my self battle,
He doesn't take his eye of me for a second,
He's so focused like he was also fighting the same battle,
His blue eyes is boring into my soul,
I need to stop this,
"Breathe" he says in a caressing whisper but louder enough for me to hear ,
My knees immediately grow weak , I'm unable to stand properly,
Just then he turns away from me,
I feel both relief and disappointment surging through me
Relief because I longed for space, disappointment because I wanted him to kiss me jeez Susan!

"Now I know why it took ages to get me coffee" youth says smiling pointing to the pot of pasta on the cooker .

.
Tensed🔥

You can chop off my head for not letting them kiss😂 why rush huh?
