But suddenly I felt two hands on my waist, I was on my back doing the dishes
and my skin froze.
I knew it was him because there was no other option.
"What are you d-doing?" I asked to him speechless, but I could see his hands were still on my waist, he turned my body so I could look at him,
he just smirked, but his blue eyes shined wildly.
Suddenly not only his hands were close but his whole body, he came so close I could feel his hot breathing on my neck.
He whispered into my ear "I love how you get nervous, Izy " He said my name, or should I say nickname, so slowly and carefully it made me shiver with delight.
And then something yet more unpredictable happened, he grabbed both of my hands and placed them on top of my head, leaving me hopelessly defeated, I didn't dare to look into his eyes.
"Look at me, please" He begged in a way that my legs liquified.
And so I did,
but he just smiled.
"I crave you" he whispered into my ear slowly, and then separated his body from mine, walking away just like that.
