Soph was lying sprawled out across my sofa again only this time she was snoring a little. I frowned and threw a pillow in her direction. She shot up and growled at me.
“So tell us all about your date this morning with hotty.” Nancy looked great in even a pair of yoga leggings. Internally I was scowling and I hoped that it didn’t show on my face.
“It wasn’t a date. I was lonely, you two had disappeared to uni and I was bored and hungry so I texted him.” I flushed and shrugged.
“So he brought you cake?” I nodded at Soph and she grinned.
“Fucking halilulia she’s moving on.” I laughed and held my stomach.
“I didn’t need to move on, there was nothing to move on from.” I stated matter of fact like. I knew I was lying more to myself than them. I had really liked Ben. He seemed sweet but they saw right through him. I’d have been a trophy to him. I shook my head at the memory of me denying him sex. He wasn’t so sweet that night. He was horrid. I grimaced and landed back in the room. “I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to do it, you know.” I admitted. I glanced at my two best friends and they looked horrified at my confession.
“Honestly you don’t know what you’re missing out on.” They nodded at each other. I shook my head in defeat.
“I bet he’s a God in the bedroom.” I rolled my eyes at their comments and padded across my living room to take a seat in the arm chair.
“Please stop.” I couldn’t think about him. He made me feel so uncomfortable but he was funny. “I don’t think I fancy him?” I admitted. I could appreciate that he was hot. So so hot. But he was so unnerving and serious and he was 27! Nancy grinned.
“Good because I fucking do.” My stomach hurt from giggling and I shook my head. I would never live this down if I didn’t sleep with him. There is no way they would let me live it down.
Holt - Wednesday
I was running late. So late. I promised Nancy I would take this class and I was late again. I shook my head as I ran through our gym doors. The force of the door hitting me in the chest made me re-coil backwards and then back forwards.
“Fuck I’m sorry.” A low voice came from in front of where I was standing and I gripped the arm that was offered to me. I swallowed hard when I felt the strong forearm holding me in place.
“No it’s okay, I was rushing and I,” my eyes stayed fixed on the ground. I was scared to look up.
“Honestly it was my bad I’m sorry.” His voice was comforting and I braced myself for the let down. I took a glimpse of him. His eyes were sea blue. The bluest blue I’d ever seen in my life. I swallowed hard and let go of the arm that was holding me in place. “You’re covered in water,” he gestured towards my hoodie and I shook my head, “here have this.” He pulled his from off his back in one foul swoop and I caught a glimpse of his perfectly defined abs. My whole body shivered. He sent feelings down my spine that I'd never experienced before in my life. He smelt beautiful. It was a scent I had smelt before but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. It was only now I could examine his face. His jawline was strong, the perfect amount of stubble carved it out perfectly. He moved his hair from his face, it was brown but more mousey I think I couldn’t quite make it out in this light. I struggled to take his hoodie from his arms. He was in a t-shirt now. It was loose but I could see his strong biceps and it was clinging to his chest. He worked out. He 100% worked out. My breathing had stopped again. I studied his eyes again. I could get lost in them.
“I can’t take that.” I laughed. It was forced and I watched as his shoulders rose and fell.
“You can, I have another one out there. Don’t worry about it.” I let my eyes wander towards his lips. They were full, heart shaped and kissable. I frowned at my thoughts and nodded towards him.
“Thank you,” I looked behind us and moved slightly so he could pass me, “are you heading in or out?” I questioned him.
“Out actually, you’ll have fun, it's a great class.” His smile didn’t meet his beautiful pools of blue and I nodded. My heart was thudding harder in my chest and I placed my hand over it. “See you around.” I smiled a weak smile at him. I hope to see you again. I watched as he jogged out of the large gym. My heart still pounding, I turned and carried his huge hoodie towards Nancy.
“Are you excited!? I’m so excited!?” I nodded at her, my mind was full. Full of him. I pulled my hoodie off quickly and looked down towards his. It was light grey in colour and had the name ‘Vens’ on it embroidered in white. I pointed towards it and glanced up at Nancy, her eyes were full of concern.
“Did you see a guy in here wearing this?” I questioned her. My words were barely audible. I watched as she shook her head and held her hands out to me.
“No Av? Why what did he do to you? You look like you’ve just had the wind sucked from your lungs?” Ever to the point. A laugh left my mouth and she frowned deeply at me the little ‘v’ between her eyes was more apparent now.
“You wouldn’t be wrong. I need to find him to return this that’s all.” I smirked to myself and watched as the rest of the dancers were
