"Met a lot of people
But nobody feels like you."

Who would have imagined that I'd ever wake up one morning with a familiar pair of arms holding me close to none other than Kyler Anderson? But to be honest, after the events of that small dinner we had together, I knew something like this was bound to happen one day. I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Hey." I looked up, snapping out of these weird thoughts to see Kyler pushing himself off the counter. I inhaled shakily as he walked over to where I stood, placing both his hands on my waist and pulling my body much closer to his.

"What's gotten your thoughts so occupied?" He murmured and I couldn't help but let my eyes flit down to his lips. I don't think he noticed our close proximity and even if he did, he didn't show it.

I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him how I felt. I really badly wanted to tell him everything; how he caused my heart to beat ten times faster every time he was around, how he made me lose all common sense whenever he was there, and how badly I wanted to kiss him right now.

But most importantly, I wanted to tell him how much I actually freaking liked him. And how much it scared me that I did.

Every inch of my body wanted to tell him. Every inch of my body craved him—my mind, my heart, everything. I wanted him. I really badly wanted him.

But instead of spilling my heart out to him, I simply bit my tongue and said the closest thing to a confession I could muster.

Because I simply could not allow myself to let him know how badly I was falling for him.

"Again?" I said into the phone and although I sounded slightly annoyed, I had a soft smile on my face.

"Well yeah, why not?"

"Kyler, you took me out for dinner barely two nights ago and we had breakfast together this morning. Don't you think you're doing too much?" I said softly, rummaging through my closet to find a suitable outfit as I waited for his response.

My breath got caught in my throat as he chuckled slightly before whispering.

"Anything for you, Hudson." My grip on the phone tightened slightly but for weird some reason, I couldn't help the small smile which spread on my lips.

"I'll see you in a while then." He said huskily. And the line went silent. I breathed deeply before shaking myself out of that stupid trance I was in.

And as I got ready and made my way downstairs, I couldn't shake off this weird feeling or get rid of the stupid butterflies in my stomach. Which was absolutely ridiculous because I wasn't supposed to feel this way. I wasn't supposed to feel all fuzzy and weird about Kyler. I wasn't supposed to like him.

I swear, this boy is going to be the death of me.

I pulled open the front door and walked outside, trying my best to push away all the negative thoughts which instantly clouded my head as I looked around for Kyler's car.
