Chapter Seven:

Kofi POV

While Layla is packing our supplies from our sunset watching, I go inside to change. I start looking for clothes on my side of the closet and I smell something familiar.

"What could that smell be? I know I've smelled it before."

I finally pick out my clothes and I lay them down. I go into our bathroom to comb my hair and then I put my clothes on. When I put my shirt through my head, I smell the familiar scent again. I smell my shirt when I put it fully on and that is the scent I smell.

"So this is what smells like that scent." I smell my shorts and it smells like it too

I go to my closet "All of my clothes smell like that." I start wondering and I figure out the scent

"Why do all my clothes smell like mangoes?"

I smell Layla's clothes and it doesn't smell like it. I start to feel the feeling again and I scream

"Layla!"

Layla enters their house and hears Kofi screaming her name. She puts the supplies down and starts to giggle.

Colt POV

"I need to get out of this bedroom, maybe I will go for a walk."

I take off my clothes to find new clothes that don't smell like coconuts. As I put on my clothes Lita asks me where I am going

"I am just going to walk around the city for a bit, do you want to come?"

She shakes her head and goes into the living room

"Lita, I will be back in a while." I say while walking out the door

As I walk down the street, all the women on the sidewalk start staring at me. I just ignore it and continue walking along. All of sudden I feel like someone is watching me, I look to see the same women following me. I start freaking out, but I think it's just a coincidence. "They are probably just going to the club down the street."

I shrug it off once again and enter an electronic store.

"Maybe I should look for equipment for my podcast. Yeah that should be a good distraction."

As I look at all the microphones and webcams, an employee comes to help me.

"May I help you with anything sir?"

"No thank you, I am just looking around."

"Oh ok just call me if you need to anything, my name is Susie."

"Ok, thanks Susie."

She leaves and I find a wireless mic to put on our guests to get a better sound. I go to the cashier to find out that she is the only the cashier too.

"Are you the only one working tonight?"

She nods her head

"We usually don't get a lot of customers in the evening, so there is no reason to have two people working."

"You're right."

She rings in the box and tells me the price. I hand her the money and we start a conversation.

"You know this might be awkward, but you smell good."

"Oh well, thank you." Giving her a small smile

"I didn't know if there is a time to tell you that. You know coconuts are my favourite smell."

"Did you say coconuts?" I start getting a little heated

"Yup, I could smell the moment you entered."

I start smelling my clothes.

"Oh damn it Lita." I mumble "Umm... sorry to cut this short, but I have to go. It is nice to meeting you Susie."

Punk POV

I arrive home to find all the light off. I am a little sore because I couldn't focus. I kept on thinking about how AJ smelled so good earlier. I drop my bag on the couch and head to our bedroom. As I enter, I see her sleeping while holding on to one of my shirts. I laugh a little to see her rubbing her nose on my shirt. I know that she couldn't sleep without having me by her side.

"I wonder if she washes the lavender off her body like I asked." I start walking to her and I smell that she did. I lift her up and put her underneath the sheets. I try to have her let go off my shirt, but she is holding it like a vice grip to her chest. I just smile and kiss her cheek before heading to the shower.

"Now where is my towel?"

I look around to see my spare towel that she lay out for me. I smile a bit and went to start my shower. When I got out of the shower, I feel fresh and relaxed. I see that she is still holding my shirt as I walk by to change.

"She is so beautiful. Maybe I should watch her for a little before sleeping, but first I need to put some clothes on."

I look at my clothes and pick out my basketball shorts and a band t-shirt. While I am putting on my clothes I feel a little anxious.

"What is happening to me?'

I just ignore it and sit on the end of the bed to watch her. After a few minutes, I feel this big shiver down my back and a sudden urge to have skin to skin contact. The urge grows stronger every minute I am looking at her.

"Punk snap out of it, you know you can't do that. Come on, control yourself."

I feel the urge getting stronger and stronger every minute. I feel so overwhelmed that I run to the bathroom.

"What is happening to me? I can't give in because I can't lose this challenge, you..." Pointing at the mirror "... Just calm yourself down and get some sleep."

I wipe the sweat off with my shirt, but as I do I smell lavender. I start smelling my shirt and it does.

"Ok I just need to change my shirt and the urges will go away."

I go to our closet and I smell that all my clothes smell like that way

"Damn it, I will just sleep in my boxers."

I lay down beside AJ, but the urges are still there keeping me awake.
