“What did you know?” I raise my head and look at her. A couple of deep breaths, and my heart rate is back to normal.

“I knew that you liked each other!”

“We were only kissing. I barely know him.” I straighten up and smile.

“But you do and it’s going to be great. I just know it.”

“If you say so. But now I’m going home, and you’ll have nothing more out of me.” I stick out my tongue and go into the elevator, leaving my friend pouting.

That was beautiful. Majestic. I’ve never experienced anything like it. He’s such a good kisser. I’ve kissed a few boys in my life and it was nice, but never like that. There were never those jolts of energy. But this time I felt electric shocks running through my body, and my heart nearly gave out. And it’s unbelievable how I was able to sense his presence. In the beginning, I thought I was going crazy after that sexy exchange online, but no. I really could sense him as soon as I left the building. It’s as if the wind blew his energy straight to me. And to think I tried so hard to ignore him. I’m surprised. I like his touch. It always makes shivers run down my spine whenever he so much as brushes a hand against mine, not to mention anything more. His voice is penetrating, passionate, so very different from all those others. Sooo sexy. And those eyes! There is goodness in them but also insecurity and lust. His lips are just as I like them—thin and shapely. I’m starting to treat him like someone close to me. Is that possible after so little time?

I can’t fall asleep for the longest time. I keep replaying our conversation online and what happened by my apartment block…

Chapter 14

Abby

I’m writing in my diary as I hear knocking at the door.Weird, I wasn’t expecting anyone.I go to the door and look through the peephole. My heart starts beating faster. I open the door.

“Ve? What are you doing here?”

“I thought that since the weather is so nice, you might want to go for a walk with me.”

My folks are at my aunt’s and I’m alone at home, but I don’t want to invite him in. I can’t be sure when they’ll be back. And I’m not allowed to have any guests without Dad’s say so. So instead we go to the park.

“Want to sit down?” I ask, seeing a bench nearby.

“Sure.”

I launch myself in its direction, and Ve follows me.

“I won!” I cry and laugh.

I take a seat, and he lays down with his head in my lap. He’s so close to my pussy it’s making my skin crawl with goosebumps.

We talk about the clouds, their shapes, and travel. Ve tells me about Christopher Columbus and America. He’s getting more interesting by the minute. I’m becoming certain that this man isn’t the way he seems. He only shows the world what he wants,keeping the real him a secret. I knew it, like I could read his energy. I can see deeper, feel deeper, and notice the boy who hides beneath the mask of a tough guy, a troublemaker. Really, he’s just afraid to be hurt. I think it’s his way of dealing with difficulties. Maybe it’s something about his family, relations with his close ones, or his childhood. He’s doing his best to hide his soul.

“What are you thinking about?” he asks, brushing a strand of hair from my cheek.

“You,” I say.

“And what does that smart little head of yours think?”

“That I like spending time with you,” I reply, skipping most of what I thought. I wouldn’t want to scare him off with my clear-sightedness.

I pick up a leaf of grass and put it in my mouth, listening to his tales of vacations at his grandma’s house and the pranks he used to play on his sisters. Now I’m lying in his lap. Once every so often, he lightly brushes my hand or my cheek. It’s so blissful. Each moment spent with this boy makes me fall for him even more. I don’t want this moment to end. Unpleasant thoughts about returning home start clouding my mind.

“Ve, we need to head back. My parents are probably already looking for me.”

He leans over and takes my face in his slender hands, leaving a long kiss on my lips.

“What’s that for?” I ask, surprised by his move.

“I just couldn’t resist.” He smiles.

When we draw near the apartment block, Ve takes my hand, pulls me closer, and embraces me closely. It feels so good.

The next day I wake up beaming. So this is how it’s supposed to work, huh? My first thought is about Ve. What’s he doing, how was his night, and what does he think about me? I didn’t suspect that boy would be able to intrigue me so much.
