Chapter 4: Beside Me

The next day, Zayden called me "I will fetch you, we will do your report on my house" my jaw dropped. He suddenly ends our call so that I can not refuse him.

I immediately go to our comfortable room to take a bath. After that, I chose a peach crop top and high waisted jeans. I get my sneakers and add some accessories. I don't put too much make, he might say that I prepared too much.

At exactly noon, someone presses the doorbell and I know who is it. I open my door and see Ethan with his jeans and v cut polo shirt. He looks so clean in that attire.

He waves his hand at me "Good Afternoon" he said with his deep voice.

I wave my hand to "Good Afternoon" I commanded him to enter our house. "I know my mom wants to see you" he smiles and we both enter my house.

Before I call my mom, I went to my room first to pick up the laptop.

My mom was in her room so I knocked on his door "Mom, Zayden is here"

When I think my mom here me and what I say she gets out of her room "Good Morning, auntie" Zayden start to talk

I love seeing them both. I feel at home, that they are my home.

"We'll gotta go Tita," Zayden said to my mom. My mom nodded and kiss me on my cheeks.

Zayden escorts me on the way to his car. He gets the bag of laptop on my bag and he put on the back of the car. Like what he is always doing, he put my seatbelts on, and while he is doing that he is taking a glance at me.

While he was driving, I noticed that until now he still snatching a glance at me. I feel a little awkward because of that. When we reached the front door of his house. I feel that my mouth becomes half-open. His house is so big, I did not expect it.

He holds my hand like we are lovers, but not. When we are in front of his house, he smiles at me when I think he notices that I'm a bit nervous. His house is like a mansion!

"Let's go to my room" he pulled my hand and I was shocked when I see an elevator beside the stares. We enter the elevator and he pressed the 3 on the buttons. When the elevator opens we enter a big.

"Wow" I was amazed at what I'm seeing right now. I sat down on the chair beside his bed.

"Don't seat there" I immediately stand up, as if I did something wrong "Sit beside me" he tapped the space beside him. I have no choice but to do what he wants.

He let me just seat beside him and he said that I just need to watch him while doing my report again. He should be the one who feels awkward because I was looking at him but I was wrong, I'm the one who feels awkward!

"What should I put here?" He suddenly asked while pointing at the papers.

"You just need to copy it and put it in the center" he nodded then continue what he is doing.

When he is finally done, he lay down on the bed. "Lay beside me" he behest. I slowly lay down beside him while my head is resting on his right hand. "You're so beautiful" he compliments "In and out" he added.

He made me froze again. I can't even say one word because of him. My mind is occupied with him. My heart? I don't know, I'm not sure.

"How can you made my heart beat faster?" He caresses my hair with his finger.

When I try to look at him, he was straightly looking at me. Like I was his world, his home, his love. I want to make sure what we feel to each other. I do not want to expect that he has feelings for me.

He holds my chin like he was memorizing every part of my face. I look down because I can not look at him straightly. "Look at my eyes" that was not a command but it sounds like that.

I look at his eyes like how he is looking at me "Don't look at me like that. You make me fall deeper to you, every hour, every minute, every second or should I say every glimpse of time."

He was slowly coming close to my face. I can not do anything but to go with the flow of what he is doing. "You're blushing" he laughs a bit but I can see that his face is turning red too, like my face.

"You're blushing too" finally I said something. He touches my cheeks and smiles widely at me. Now, I'm trying to look at his eyes straightly. I'm trying my best.

"I did not know your age, right," he asked. I nodded "You are twenty years old," he said like he was so sure that that's my real age. Well, he is right anyway I'm just 20. I nodded at him.

"I want to guess your age too" I smile at him "You are 20 too?" I'm not sure and I have no clue about his age.

He shakes his head "I am 24 years old" he doesn't look 24 years old. He looks younger than me.

"Is it okay for you to have a boyfriend that is a year older than you?" He smiles widely. I nodded.

If it is you, it will be okay. I don't think I will reject you when you court me. I will never do that. You are like a blessing to me. The number of our age gap will never be important if we will loving each other. Now, I know what I feel for you. I know that I have feelings for you and I would never deny it.
