Anna pov
I got home late at noon. I went and did my shopping for my fluffy, and after I prepared them, I prepared food and took a shower. It was 7 in the evening when I came out of the shower, and I heard the doorbell ring. I quickly put on shorts and a T-shirt and go to the front door.
"Who's there?" I ask before I open
"I'm Lucas. I mean Dr. Anterson," I hear Lucas's voice behind the door. Oh my God, What does he want? I opened the door, and there he was with all his grace and stature. f**k I'm wet just seeing him. Anna calmed down my girl
"Lucas, hi. Did something happen to my fluffy?" He raises his eyebrows and asks
"Fluffy;"
"Oh, that's how I named the puppy, our little guy."
"Cute name," he tells me with a smile. just kill me now
"Yeah, well, he's fluffy, so it suits him."
We look at each other for a moment. Awkward... I decide to ask
'' So how can I help you?” I ask him. He seems a little embarrassed. Is he ashamed? If he is sorry, what should I do?
"I want to talk to you about something if it possible?" His kindness drives me crazy
"Of course, come in."
"I'm sorry if I bothered. But I couldn't wait until Monday," he tells me, and I point him to sit on the couch.
"It's fine. Sit down. Do you want something to drink?"
"No, I want to talk to you about something. Please don't interrupt me. Already I don't know how I will talk to you?"
Seriously? If he is anxious with me, what can I say?
"I don't understand. But please keep going. I won't stop you, I promise," I tell him with a smile.
"Well. It's the first time I've had so much stress with a girl. It's the first time I've been anxious about what your answer will be." I don't tell him anything, and I just let him continue
My palms are already sweating. What he is saying? He likes me and wants my answer to what?
"Ok," he takes a deep breath and continues, "I don't know how simple to say it. I like you very much, and I want to go out on a date with you." Holly s**t, the sexy doctor I saw all night in my dreams he wants to go out on a date with me. I am left staring at him in amazement, and he looks at me impatiently. I don't think so. It's not possible.
"Well? Anna, you are killing me here." "Are you kidding me?”
"No. Why should I do that?" I see him, and I understand that he is talking seriously
"Just... I mean ..." I take a breath and say
"What I mean is that I didn't expect someone like you to want to go out with me," I said it as simply as I could
"Why did you think that?"
He tells me as if nothing is happening, "You're just like you came out of a fashion magazine, and I'm a girl next door. You'll be for sure dating women who are more beautiful and have a nicer body than mine." "What fool has made you think you're not beautiful?"
He says and comes closer to me. I'm out of breath. He rests his hand on my cheek. "When I saw you yesterday, do you know what I wanted to do?"
"What?" I say breathlessly
"This," he says, grabs my head with both hands, and kisses me. Oh my God, Lucas, the greek sexy god, kisses me. At first, I feel numb, but I quickly return the kiss. I have never felt that way. I had a relationship before, but I never felt that way when he kissed me. Lucas is wonderful. We look at each other and breathe heavily
"I'm sorry if I'm in a hurry, but I wanted so badly to do this. To taste these lips."
"It's fine. I didn't expect it."
"We can go slow if you want. I just wanted you to know how I feel about you. That I'm interested in you.”
"Wow"
"I want to get to know you"
I swallow. I can't believe what's happening to me.
"Okay. I'd love to. I've been thinking about you since yesterday," he smiles and says
"Are you sure? "
"Why are you surprised? I told you before, and you look like you're out of a fashion magazine. I'm not blind. And also? Are you the kindest and nicest person I've ever known why I don't like you?"
He smiles and kisses me on the forehead. "So I've cooked. Since you're here, do you want to be our first date here?" I say, and he looks at me in surprise.
"What did you cook?"
"Mexican chicken with rice. It's one of my favorites. It's not much because I thought I'd eat it alone, but we can share it. But I'll thank you for the dessert. I have walnut pie with ice cream."
"Wonderful. A killer combination," I laugh and start serving. He offered to help, and as we prepared, we chatted
"So, how long have you been in town?" "About one month. I came a week before school started."
"Do you know? Fiona and Alex are crazy about you. From day one, they talk about the beautiful teacher they have" I smile and look at him
"They are perfect children. The painting in the fridge is Fiona's. She gave it to me yesterday. Every week she gives me one."
"What did I tell you? They love you. The whole family is talking about you. If we find each other, surely my family will love you," I lower my head and look down. I'm not so sure, especially if they learn about my past. Surely his parents will want something better than me.
"Anna, I'm sorry. I told you we'd go as slow as you want, but I already know what I want, and that's you. "I raise my head, and when he sees me, he smiles. I smile too
"I know this, and thank you for that. The point is that before I came to this city, I came out of a terrible relationship that deprived me of a lot. I lost friends, my freedom, my self-esteem. I didn't just move because of work. The job came at the right time. The moment I decided to leave from there and make a fresh start,” I say and smile, and he smiles at me too
"That's why I told you before that I don't think you would like me. Other women will suit you better."
He comes to me and takes my hand
"I'm not going to lie to you. I'm 35 years old, I've had relationships in the past, but none of them lasted. They didn't like my job, and they always wanted something more. Their next relationship was with men richer than me. I don't know what stage you are in. But I'm looking for something serious. I'm not interested in playing anymore. As soon as I saw you, I realized that you are a girl who interests me to meet and move on with my life. If you give it to me, I want your present and your future."
I smile at him, and I feel better. I feel like it's different this time
"I was never interested in money. Growing up, we had enough. We weren't millionaires, but we never lacked for anything. In my relationships, I never looked for the rich. All I want is to feel good about each other. To match, to have common interests, and to fall in love. I thought I loved them in the past and that they fell in love, but in the end, it wasn't love. I'm not ready to talk about it yet "he cuts me off and tells me, "Don't worry. I'll wait for you as long as you need. You deserve to wait for you."
We smiled at each other, and for the rest of the night we kept talking, we saw a movie and late at night, he left for his house saying goodbye with a kiss. I lay on the bed with a smile that reached my ears.
