FOR BETTER FOR WORSE

CHAPTER FIVE

It’s not news that I’m going to be around the hottest guy around town quite often since he would be coming over to my house a lot ...

My happiest days are here!!!!

I don’t normally believe in love at first sight but attraction at first sight … I stan! with Ethan, my school of thought has changed because I fell in love and I’m seriously attracted to him at the freaking first sight.

I normally take evening stroll with Luna (the family dog: I’m parenting her by the way) to clear my head some days and today was one of those days……

I sighted THE CHARMING ETHAN shirtless… I was about turning back when he called my name “Amy …... hey” he said as he moved closer to me….

He bent to say hi to Luna… she’s just as cute as you he said standing back on his feet…..

Only then did I notice his sweaty upper body…. I fantasized how he’d look beneath shirts but this right here was beyond what I imagined.

His packs were eight, well-built one, well defined - sweat dripping over them in a very sexy and attractive way, broad shoulder, milky skin, and his biceps curves so smoothly, veins faintly visible like subtle lines of power, his muscle flexes easily when he moves, veins showing just enough to be attractive. It looks so warm and calming, the kind of arm that feels safe wrapped around you., feeling homely and heavenly.

Taking a scroll? He asked as he interrupted my thought.

Yes, I needed some breath and clear mind I replied.

Mind if I join you? He asked took Luna’s rope leash from me as if he knew I’d say yes.

We walked in silence for a while ….. say about 15 minutes towards the abandoned woodhouse in the compound.

So, what do you do all day he asked, finally breaking the awkward silence.

I write songs, make music and live as my reputable family’s only child.

That sounds fun! He said holding all form of sarcasm.

You can’t be serious I replied rolling my eyes.

I am, well not totally at least you get to enjoy all comfort of life without having to give much he said.

Hmmmm …….. how about you tell me what you do during the day I asked as we stood at the entrance of the wood house facing each other.

I do quite a lot of things ----- care for my baby sister, Sophie, help my Ms. Linda, water the garden, run some chores and now getting to see the most gorgeous female I’ve set my eyes on ... aren’t I lucky?

My face getting red already ... it tells me off every time …. though I’m trying to be a hard girl ... that seems too impossible right now.

Sure, you are …I replied.

So, tell me about the wood house he said making eye contact with me.

We entered the woodhouse ---------

You know this space holds a lot of memory ... I used to love coming here as a kid to spend a lot of time with my tortoise. Good old days!!

What happened to it? Ethan asked.

It died I said in a very sad tone … it was my first heartbreak, I knew how hard it is to lose something / someone so special and dare to one’s heart.

I’m so sorry ... sure he said it as empathetic as ever.

It’s fine … been long anyways I said cheering myself….. what about you? Lost anything special?

I lost someone and something ... my father. I remembered him as spark, so full of life----- hesitated for a while…… trying so hard to swallow his emotions. Anyone could tell how hard he was trying to be strong and not breakdown;

And the thing; a fatherly love and presence.

It’s been really hard ever since, my mum working double, stressing her ass a lot and I barely have any to contribute. Sometimes, I feel so pressured ... I really want to do more for my family, for Sophie, for my mum …..

I give the best comforting hugs though, wanna try? I teased.

Of -course miss! He replied gently.

I hugged him so warmly, held me tight because that’s all I could offer for comfort. He stayed in my arms for about 10 minutes. He needed the hug so bad.

His grip becoming relaxed, gently lifting his head off my tiny shoulder, but moving his hand to hold my waist while my hands were wrapped around his shoulder.

Now holding my gaze, staring into each other’s eyes with so much desire, tension rising, we let our eyes and gesture do the talking because it was really obvious our feelings were mutual and we both wanted IT in that moment.

His lips looking so juicy, tender, soft…. attractive as f**k!

Do you want to smooch? He asked in a low sexy tone

What are you waiting…… I didn’t get to complete my sentence when I felt his lips on mine……

Just as I described and more ...

He grabbed me firmly by my waist to lift me on a table still kissing though.

Even in this he was mindful not to make me uncomfortable with touches. But I wanted more… I wanted him to touch me more! My body language craved for his caress.

Touch me I whispered in a low touch-derived voice and guess what? He understood the assignment!

As he carefully placed his hand on my neck, chocking but far from strangle, and his second between my thighs; goosebumps all over me---- my heart racing really fast that I’m sure he could feel how sexually nervous I was.

Engrossed with what we were doing until Luna bark distracted us….

Our lips unlocked as we look into each other’s eyes and chuckled in romance….

Let’s take our leave now “Mon amour” … Ethan said.

You speak French now? I said laughing not too loud but in excitement

Once in blue moon I do… just in special moment like this he replied.

You are a nasty flirt and I love it. I said getting off the table and walking out of the door.
