Chapter 6

APOV

The whole morning went by without call from him. Maybe I was wrong about him. I was starting to go into options into why he wouldn't call, when someone rang the doorbell. I stood up from the couch and walked to the door to open it. When I opened it, it was nothing I expected.

He stood there, in the middle of the door frame, tall, dark, hot and cute. His brown eyes sparkling. I could feel a smile spreading across my face.

"Hey, what are you doing here? " I asked shocked.

"Well I thought I could surprise you." He said.

"You sure did." I gave him a hug and he came in.

"So how did you find my address?" I asked wondering.

"I asked Kim." He said as he sat on the couch looking around everywhere.

"Oh." I said, but secretly inside loving Kim even more, for what she had done.

"Nice place. You live alone?" He asked.

"Thanks and umm yeah." I knew he would ask soon and the sadness would take over my happiness.

"Hey you ok? What's the matter? Did I do something wrong? "He asked worried. I felt guilty for making him worried and tried as hard as I could to look fine.

"Umm yeah I'm fine, you didn't do anything. It's just that I live alone because I lost my parents when I was 7 years old, and my aunt took me to take care of me but she became sick, and I lost her too. And since I just turned 18 I can live alone." I said, trying to put back the sadness and put on a smile.

" Oh. I'm really sorry. " He said, with a worried face.

Before I knew it I was in his arms and we were both lying down on my couch. He was warm. Like really hot. I wondered if he had a fever.

"Hey you know you're like burning up. Do you have a fever?" I asked, putting my hand on his forehead.

He laughed. I didn't get the joke. My face went blank.

"Don't worry 'bout that, I'm just like that. " He said laughing.

"Oh. Cool… I guess." I said, my voice trailing off, as I moved around in his arms, making myself comfortable, and closed my eyes, drifting off into sleep.
