Nasa tapat ako ngayon ng apartment ni Felicity at wala akong ibang ginawa sa nakalipas na limang minuto kundi titigan lang ang pinto niya. Simula ng gabing iyon sa party, iniwasan ko na siya. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit dahil hindi naman siya katulad ng mga babaeng kailangan kong iwasan. Ni minsan ay hindi siya kumatok sa pinto ko o gumawa ng paraan para makuha ang atensiyon ko.
Secretly, I had been hoping she'd show up at my door all on her own just to thank me for the iPod and earbuds I'd left her. Not that she had needed them this week. I had moved all parties to Vaughnn's place.
Felicity, however, never showed up. Not even in passing. So maybe I hadn't been avoiding her. Maybe she had been avoiding me.
And why the fuck did I give a shit?
"I'm not there." Felicity's voice filled the hallway, and I jerked my gaze from her door to find her standing at the front porch.
Hell, she had on tight jeans with a pair of fucking red heels. I let the image of her legs showcased in the jeans burn a spot in my memory as I trailed my gaze up them slowly. The clingy material of her shirt was cut in a modest enough style, but damn, it hinted at the body underneath.
"Hindi kita nakita buong linggo," halata sa boses niya na kinakabahan siya. "Gusto ko sanang magpasalamat para doon sa iPod. Hindi mo naman kailangang gawin iyon."
Marahan kong ipinilig ang ulo ko at sinubukang ituon ang atensyon ko sa mukha niya at sa mga salitang nanggagaling sa bibig niya. Hindi siya kagaya ng ibang mga babae. Mahiyain siya at hindi sigurado sa sarili. Kailangan kong itatak yun sa isipan ko kung ayaw kong matakot siya at lumayo sa akin ng tuluyan.
Not that I could do anything with her. She would be too fragile for me.
"Uh, yeah, I did. Now I won't feel like an ass when we have a party," I replied with a smirk.
She grinned and reached up to tuck a strand of her long silky dark brown hair behind her ear. That hair was fascinating. As if she needed one more attractive feature on her already-perfect body. "I appreciate it. I really do. I started my classes today, so studying will soon be of extreme importance."
She moved toward her door and unlocked it before glancing back at me. I wasn't ready to let her disappear inside just yet. She was more comfortable talking to me today. I was suddenly curious. I wanted to hear more about her.
