Lost Love

Chapter 22

Micheal's POV

I let out a huge breath of air when I left her apartment. Since when did I become so flirty? I have to admit it though; it was fun watching her blush at my comments and when she's embarrassed.  She's just so cute.
I have been watching her in the office since she started working in the office. She's hardworking, friendly and beautiful. I've kept tabs on her for a time now- I know it makes me a stalker but I can't help it.
When I didn't see her in the office for a while I had to ask her boss and when he told me about her one month leave because of family emergency, I looked through her files to get her house address to find out what was wrong.
She looked so pretty in her pink pjs. I could tell she was checking me out- most of the female population would find me hot but to find her gaze on me was doing things to me no other girl had done.
I decided to check her out too since she was occupied and when I saw she was still looking, I proceeded to tease her.
The way she reacted was really cute- her blushing and her overall appearance screamed innocence. By the time she finally let me in, I checked out the apartment. It felt so homely; I wouldn't know if she was still living with her parents but the apartment actually looks too big for her to live alone in.
She excused herself and I was left alone. I stood up to examine the picture frames on the wall. In the pictures, it was just her, a man I would assume to be her dad and a woman/ girl who looked so much like her- I wouldn't know if she was her mom or her older sister later the pictures were just her and her dad. What happened to the other lady?
She came back to ask me if I would want anything and the only thing that came through my mind was that she was very polite and cultured.
I went straight to business and told her why I visited. She looked so sad all of a sudden and told me all that happened. It was when she started crying that I gathered her into my chest.  She was so small; I rubbed her back while repeating some words to make her calm and it worked; her sobs turned to sniffles. I don't know why I suddenly became so protective of her. Seeing her crying just pulled a chord in my chest and one thing I was sure of was that I never wanted to see her cry again.
I was really becoming more attracted to her and I myself didn't know the reason for the attraction. One thing I knew was that she was far different from other girls or should I say other women I've been with.
She looked so innocent and helpless crying on my chest not to mention breathtakingly beautiful. I don't know how someone would cry and still look that beautiful but she bore it well without stress.
When I discovered she stopped crying I looked down and caught her sniffing me- how cute. In that moment I made up my mind to get this girl; she was special and made me feel things I've never felt with any girl
I decided to tease her again and the way she reacted was hilarious. Her cheeks flushed red and she scampered away from my hold. I know she would probably be wondering why I chose to visit her and why I was flirting with her so freely when I was so strict in the office.
Before I lose myself I decided to get going so as not to do something I would regret. As I stood up, my legs walked on their own accord to stand really close to her.
She looked up at me with her lovely eyes and I was enchanted. I was tempted to kiss her there and then. The atmosphere changed and I just wanted to feel her lips beneath mine but regretfully I knew I needed to wait.
One thing I knew as I left her apartment was that I was in big trouble- I wasn't so sure if I could hold myself next time.
