Groaning, she stood up. Well at least I put some of the girls to shame then.
You need to lay down. Then my nostrils got a good whiff of her odor-she smelled of throw up- and I covered my nose. But first shower first.
Thanks Mom.
Rolling my eyes, I watched her enter the bathroom. You sure you’re okay ?
Yeah ! She called back out. Don’t worry too much it’s only- I couldn’t hear anything else but I did hear the sound of the toilet seat being lifted and I knew that was my cue to leave.
Ow ! I hissed falling to the floor. Shit.
Sorry. Landon apologized as he helped me off the floor just as quickly as I fell.
You almost broke my nose ! I dramatically exclaimed before poking at his chest. What are you made out of ?
Muscle ?
Pfft if you say so. I sidestepped him, trying to get to my room for the time being.
Turning me around he genuinely looked amused and confused by me. You don’t agree ?
Eh, I’ve seen better. It’s okay to tell white lies once and awhile. I have to go change. I knew he had to as well as I could still tell that his shorts were damp now.
Once again trying to walk pass him, I’m interrupted again. His hand pressed to my stomach, the material I look up to seeing him looking deep in thought sort of speak but his eyes were trained on my lips.
No more kissing. I needed a break.
Why ? He seemed hurt.
Technically I’m breaking the role of not giving you a kiss until our first date. So take me out first. Then I added. And as your personal assistant I have to say you have to get back to work- after all you didn’t even give what’s her face an answer.
That’s not important right now, and really ? What’s her face ?
You know what I mean. I waved him off. Now if you’ll excuse me. Taking his hand off of my stomach, I successfully walk around him.
I felt my face heat up as his hand tapped my ass and I turned around in shock holding my left cheek. Really ?! I hiss at him.
Don’t pretend you didn’t like it.
I felt a smile trying to creep on to my face and before that could happened, I rolled my eyes turning back around. Idiot. I mumbled.
I heard that ! He shouts to me when I’m already at my door I open it, and shout back.
You were supposed to !
I shut my-his-door.
Stepping out of the shower, I hear my phone buzzing on the table. I rush over to it with my towel wrapped around me.
I look at the caller ID, to see its Regina.
Hello ?
It’s me. She sings. So when are you coming back ?
In a day or two depending on what happens.
I miss my best friend. She whined into the phone. There’s nobody to keep me company.
What about that Xander guy ? I accompanied myself in putting my hair back to together.
Who ?
Regina, you’re disgusting. I laughed, putting her on speaker. You’re probably glad you have the apartment to yourself.
Well that’s sort of true, I get to know what’s its like to walk around naked. Wait a minute.
Please don’t tell you’re naked while talking to me ?
No.
Regina.
Maybe ?
Regina !
Okay, I’ll go put on a shirt. She laughed on the other side of the phone.
Hearing a knock on the other side of my door, my hand tightened around my towel. What was that ? Regina asked me as if I knew.
I am assuming Casper. I went to go open the door, it was probably Adaline.
Ha ha so funny. I heard her say but my eyes were glued to the person that opened the door.
Landon stood, wearing his usually get up- a suit- and my hand tightened even more around my towel.. why did he look better right now then he did earlier.
He twirled a key in his hand like that was normal before catching it in his hand at the last second. His eyes never leaving mine and even though I knew he saw me in my towel, he didn’t make me feel uncomfortable about it. Uh yes ? I ask him, after a heartbeat pause.
I’m taking you out tonight.
What did he say ? Regina asked. I forgot she was on the phone and I quickly took her off speaker phone.
Regina I’ll call you back, okay ?
With details.
Okay, bye. I hung up, pressing my phone behind my back. So uh, you said what ?
I’m taking you out tonight. He said it again, leaving no space to deny him.
What if I’m busy ?
Doing what ? He now seemed interested instead of looking bored.
Like watching a movie with ice cream. Really ? you’re such a dork.
Movies and Ice Cream ? It rolled off his tongue like he was speaking a foreign language.
Yes. I say, trying to convince him.
Be ready an a hour.
You’re demanding me now ?
Please can you be ready in an hour ? He put his hands together as if he was praying.
No. Shutting the door in his face that was in complete shock. I waited a good solid minute before opening the door to see him still in his daze.
You can give me an hour and I’ll be downstairs. Getting ready to shut the door his hand stopped the doors movement causing it to protest.
This time he made it known that he was eyeing me. Are you demanding me now ?
Depends on how you take it. I shrugged.
He let go of the door giving me back leverage to close it. I’ll be downstairs.
And I’ll be up here. I smiled.
He chuckled at me and it caused me to grin even harder. An hour. He took two steps back before turning and walking down the hallway and I watched me walk down the stairs until he was out of my sight.
Ten minutes later and I was still having a panic attack.. Why is this so hard ?
I can’t find an outfit I mean I didn’t really plan for a date, and my everyday clothes was sitting, looking at me like I did a dirty deed of bringing them.
Then an idea popped inside my head. ADALINE. Quickly running out of my room, I peeked my head into her room.
Josh really ? She sighed into her phone. I told you I’ll be back, I’m just in New York.
I don’t hear the mans response but I think he had calmed down. I miss you too. nI knocked on the door the signal her that she wasn’t alone anymore. Oh. She jumped startled she switched the phone to go to her right ear, turning to face me.
Hey, I’m sorry but could you help me with something ? I asked her.
Sure, just give me sec. She turned her attention back, I’m assuming he boyfriend, she was on the phone with. Babe- Calm down its just my friend- yeah I gotta go see you soon, I love you.
She hangs up the phone. Okay what do you need ?
Um, I have a date and I was wondering if you could help me ? I ask.
A date ? She exclaimed excited, but she paused. With who ?
You promise not to tell anyone ?
Pinky promise. We sealed our pinky’s together.
Landon.
LANDON ! She yelled in complete shock. When did this happened ?
Shh. I hushed her quickly stepping in to close the door behind me. He’s downstairs.
I knew it !
What ? Oh could she-
Oh calm on, it’s not hard to see you two making eyes at each other.
Is it that noticeable ?
