Anything For You

Part 9

"Okay so I'll show you to the spare bedroom or if you wish you can sleep in mine", he said and only realized what he said when she tilted her head to the side.

"I mean if you don't feel comfortable in the spare bedroom then you can sleep in my room and I'll sleep somewhere else." She was making him nervous and he was stuttering as he spoke.

Jenna's thoughts

"I'll be okay in the spare bedroom" I say and he seems a little more relaxed. He gestured to the room and I follow behind him. "It is just down the hall", he says softly.

The room is bright and cozy. The walls are white with a crystal chandelier hanging in the middle. There is a small oak desk in front of a large window that over looked the magnificent back yard. The window framed a cherry blossom tree like a painting and it hung with beautiful pink flowers.

"It's a cherry blossom tree that came with the house. Apparently it brings good luck." he says and I can feel his presence near me. I feel my body heating up and my breathing becomes shallow. What is this man doing to me? What is going on with me?

I feel him standing behind me, his breath on my neck and his voice is drawing me in. I see his hand in front of me pointing at the tree but I can't think of anything else but kissing him. Good lord this man smells so good.

"Do you need something to wear? I could give you a t-shirt and shorts if you don't mind wearing my clothes. There's a new toothbrush in the bathroom and fresh towels too". He asks as he steps back. I wonder how many women he brings here that there is a new toothbrush and fresh towels in the bathroom.

"A t-shirt and shorts will be fine thanks." I hear myself say.

"If you'd like I could make you tea."

"Yes, that would be nice, thank you" and I follow him back to the kitchen. The kitchen has multiple white cupboards with black table tops which I assume is made of granite. This place has a woman's touch but I don't see any photos.

Jenna watched Michael as he moved around the kitchen glancing at her when he thought that she wasn't looking. He made her tea and sat down with her as she blew and sipped.

Michael's thoughts

She is so lovely. I can't seem to look away and she is so fascinating. She's so different. I wonder what she's thinking about. She looked so distraught this evening at the scene. What if I walked up to her right now and held her like I did earlier. What if I kissed her, would she let me?

What if I do and she doesn't feel the same? What if I ruin the moment by doing that? What if she never comes near me again? Great Michael, you sound desperate and the what if game? Really? Great I'm speaking to myself and answering. Psycho.

Michael and Jenna sat making small talk until mid-conversation she yawned. "I'm sorry, I'm so tired." She says as she covers her mouth with her hand.

"It's okay, we can go to bed if you're tired" Michael says as he slides off the kitchen chair and he hears her giggle.

"That's not how I meant it to sound" he protests staring at Jenna as she lifts herself off the chair. She laughs and slides her chair back in the original position.

"Do I make you nervous Michael?" She smiles and tilts her head to the side.

Jenna watches as Michael's lips part. She walks away leaving him staring at her. Halfway down the passage, she turns to him. "Don't worry, I don't bite. Hard." She winks and starts walking again.
