Little stump

CHAPTER 2

As he turned around and I got a clear look at his face, my legs turned to jelly. The view from upstairs did not do him justice. His height was also completely wrong, I had thought he stood at 6"2 but looking at this figure in front of me, he was probably closer to 6"4, he towered over Diana and I, by a lot.

His body was also completely insane, I looked at his chest as I saw a bead of sweat stroll down his perfect torso before disappearing down the waistband of his boxers, which was very visible despite the gym shorts he wore above them.

He looked surprised as he approached us, his long legs supporting his very muscular frame. "This isn't possible" he said, looking at my direction, Complete shock obvious in his tone. I gulped when I heard his voice, it definitely wasn't that deep 6 years ago. It sounded like a thunder storm as it rang in my ears.

"I never thought I'd see you again" he walked over and engulfed me in a hug, his tall frame having to bend almost completely to embrace my very smaller figure.

"Take a picture, it lasts longer" he whispered into my ear as he broke from the embrace. I felt my cheeks heat up at the comment, I had not expected him to catch me staring at him. I closed my eyes, embarrassment engulfing me.

This was insane, I was never embarrassed around little stump, he was always the one that used to cry when people made fun of him, the one who I'd spend endless hours of the day taunting and frustrating. I was never at a loss for words when I was with him, yet, ever since I saw him, I hadn't uttered a single word.

"Did she go dumb or something?" Damien's question brought me back to reality. Why was I zoning out? Why was his comment embarrassing me? And why, why, why was he so damn hot? I didn't like this feeling.

"No, she didn't go dumb, she's just surprised to see how much everything's changed" I answered, trying to divert the attention from my awkward silence.

"Well, something's changed" Damien replied, a dirty smirk tainting his features. I had to stop myself from grabbing his face right there.

"Well, excuse me ladies, I have to go take a shower" he said, taking his towel and cellphone before walking back into the building. I watched as he left and I would be a big liar if I said I didn't almost orgasm at the way his back muscles contracted as he moved.

I turned back to Diana. "Are you sure that's Damien?" I asked, gesturing to his retreating figure. It definitely couldn't be, right?

"I know, big change, right?" Diana replied, laughing.

"Really big change" I replied, still completely dumbfounded about the Adonis that little stump had grown into. Six years really was a long time.

Diana and I kept catching up throughout the rest of the day, we talked about every single thing that had happened since we got separated, and how we would make sure we never lost contact again. Damien wasn't around though, which was something that I had to admit was really disappointing. Since when did I get disappointed that little stump wasn't around me, I really had to stop thinking about this. It was making me uncomfortable.

Eventually, I told Diana I had to leave, it was getting late and I didn't come with my car. She offered to drive me, though.

We walked to her red Mustang together, laughing and talking about random things. I got in the passenger seat as Diana got in the driver's. She put the key in the ignition trying to start the car, but it didn't work.

She tried a couple more times, but it still didn't start. "God, I'm tired of this piece of junk" she screamed, hitting the dashboard.

"It's okay, I can walk" I say, perfectly fine with walking home. It wasn't her fault her car wasn't starting, after-all.

Just then the headlights of a car came into our view, a white BMW pulled into the front yard, revealing none other than the person I kept getting nervous around. He looked attractive again, with his white muscle shirt and white tattered jeans, that left very little of his long legs to imagination. His almost white hair was packed into a small ponytail as usual.

Diana jumped as he came in. "Perfect timing, weirdo" she said, getting out of the car and gesturing to me to do the same.

"I need your car keys" she continued, walking over to her little brother. She tried to snatch the key from his hands but he raised it up, and unless Diana was trying to embarrass herself, she wouldn't even try to collect it cause it was way above her head.

"There's no way I'm letting you drive my car" Damien said, pushing back his sister who was still trying to get his keys. He didn't even need to try hard, she looked like a stump next to him. A stump, little stump. I had to admit that the nickname was no longer fitting, he definitely wasn't little anymore.

"No fair, I just need to borrow it to take Maddy home" Diana argued. Damien's eyes went to my silent figure, I looked away quickly, not wanting him to catch me staring at him, again. I cautiously looked back to see him giving me a very sly smirk.

"It's okay, I really can just walk" I offered again, but it seemed nobody was willing to listen to me.

"That's no way to treat a guest" he said, pushing his sister down with one hand, who gave up after realising her attempts were futile. He looked towards Diana, and towards me again. The dirtiest grin ever still plastered on his face.

"Don't worry, I'll take Maddy home" he said. My eyes widened.
