Love Is Not Over {Editing}

Cookie Monster

Two hours later, I am arranging some cookies on a plate and beaming with excitement. I couldn't wait to surprise Jimin with these sweets. I already snacked on one- or maybe three- and they were absolutely tasty; crispy from the oatmeal but also chewy from the raisins.

I send him a quick text: Hey are you home?

While waiting for his reply I wash the mixing bowl, spatula, and pans I used earlier.

I clean up a bit and put some music on to lighten up the mood.

Taemin's "Move" begins playing and I laugh because of the sensuality but I do not skip it because I genuinely enjoy the song.

I hear a knock on the door and wipe my hands and go answer it.

"Jimin oppa! Nice to see you again. Come in" I wave towards him.

"Hi Jen, thank you. I just saw your message and wanted to see if you needed anything. Wow it smells great in here." he gives a big inhale.

"Thanks. I actually have a little surprise for you. Close your eyes."
He covers his eyes with his hands and I walk over to the table.

Suddenly I hear him chuckle. "Ah so you are a Taemin fan too? His music is quite..steamy"

I smirk and bite my lip in shyness. "I appreciate his music and his dancing, he's extremely talented. Plus it doesn't hurt that he has such a sexy voice and he's nice to look at."

"I don't blame you, he's a handsome guy."

I am now standing in front of him. "Okay stop daydreaming about him and open your eyes."

His eyes meet mine and we keep eye contact for a few moments before he looks down at my hands.

"Wow cookies! Are these all for me? They look delicious."

"Yeah I baked them and they are fresh out of the oven. You said I couldn't keep saying thank you so now I will just feed you my thanks."

"I'll take it" he smiles and reaches down for a cookie.

"Mmmmmmm" he hums as he chews. "Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite and the chocolate makes them even better. Gomabda Jen, you really didn't have to."

I give him a small bow "I didn't have to but I wanted to. I know we just became friends a few weeks ago but trust me, there will be plenty of baked goods. Sometimes for no reason at all."

"I made the right choice helping you in the library then."

"Even if I couldn't bake, you are blessed with having me in your life." I joke.

"Please, with my insanely good looks and dependability I think the pleasure is all yours."

I laugh. "Someone's very confident."

"I mean if I remember correctly, your first words were," he widens his eyes and gasps out loud for dramatic effect, "Wow you are so handsome!"

I look down at the floor, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Geez, with that much self esteem you sound just like a Libra."

"How did you know?" he asks amused.

"No way this explains so much. Me too! Which day?"

"I'm October 13th, you?"

"I'm the 18th. I knew there was a reason we got along so well so quickly."

"Hmm not sure if I really believe in horoscopes but I do agree that we vibed right away."

As if I disregarded the conversation we just had, I am once again lost admiring him. The way his eyes curve downwards and how his nose broadens when he smiles makes him look incredibly cute.

I shake the thoughts away and say "Well feel free to take all of these cookies because I just had a couple already."

"Thanks Jen. I'll talk to you later."

Before he grabs the plate off the table I wrap my arms around him and pull him into an embrace. I rest my head on his shoulder and inhale. I take in his scent, a mixture of Irish spring, an earthy cologne and a freshly washed t-shirt.

His grip around my waist tightens. My breath hitches at the pressure and my heart beat quickens.

We simultaneously exhale deeply and pull away.

I can barely look up at him before he bids his farewell and slips out of my apartment.

I take a few shaky strides towards the kitchen sink and splash cold water on my face. My head feels fuzzy and I cannot fully understand why I am having these reactions.

All I did was give this guy cookies.
