The love I have for him

ALYSSA'S POV:

He was sitting on the bench only on his sport shorts! He was busy on scrolling through his phone, vibing with the song playing on his earpiece. This was one of those rare times when I saw him chilling but this was definitely the first time I saw him shirtless.

I could see his sharp collar bones, oh! There's a dark black mole under his left collar bone! He looks even more sexy and attractive with messed up hair along with small sweat beads on his forehead and tip of the nose. His muscular arms looked so strong, those featured blood veins on his hands. Oh my my! Is this the same Kitty who used to be a cute chubby boy when we were young?

I had hundreds of butterflies jumping inside my abdomen, my cheeks turning hot. How will I keep my secret safe when he's looking so damn hot?

Should I go back? But Noah needs his things back and I'm sure he's already reached to the gate. Should I just walk pass him as if I haven't seen him at all? But... Will I be able to do so?

"What brought you here?"

Shoot! Did he catch me looking at him? Come on Aly, cool down. You'll have to act as everything is normal and fine.

"Actually it's Noah, he's waiting for me to bring his belongings at the gate." I answered looking into his eyes. Only my almighty knows how hard it was for me to reply to him without slurring.

"He asked you to get his things? Strange."

"His dad is coming to get him, so he's waiting for him at the gate."

"Oh, well. That's his locker."

He pointed towards the corner, there seemed to be only two lockers at that end. I was about to ask him if I actually got the right one when he stood up, his eyes still on his phone.

Wh... Wait, he.. Even has abs! Why didn't I notice it earlier? One, two, three... six! Six pack abs it is!

"Don't forget to get his.... Hey, are you okay?"

I was taken aback with his voice, I couldn't handle myself and I started panicking. Did he see me staring at him? Will he think low about me? Will he hate me even more?

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

"Huh? Ah... ah yes. I... I should take his things to him." I started walking towards the corner where he had pointed earlier, my legs were shaking as if they'll lose it at any moment.

"Noah Bennett" I got the locker with his name, my stress increased even more when I saw Kitty's name on the next locker. With the key he'd given, I tried to open the locker. But I was in a mess to think of anything straight. My hands were trembling like this was the toughest task I had ever done.

Even after trying for so many times, I couldn't get the key on the hole. I was scolding myself for being so clumsy but at the same time, I couldn't help it as well. When my struggle was going on, someone suddenly hold my hand and got the key inside the hole.

I know this hand, I know this cologne. I know this feeling I get when he's close to me every time. But this was too dreamy to think of it as real!

I slowly turned my head around, his sharp jawline was almost touching my head. He was absolutely focused on his work without having any idea what his closeness was doing to me. This was the first time in all these years when I was so close to him. God! Is this really happening?

I was so lost in observing him, until he looked at me. HOW EMBARRASSING! I immediately turned around and got everything from the locker. Thankfully, it didn't take long for me to lock it back. I realized he was still standing on his position when I turned around, I had almost bumped on him.

"Wait" he moved aside and opened his locker. "Take this as well, he'll need it." He handed me a pouch, seems like there were some tissues and essentials in it.

"Thank you Kitty." I smiled at him and walked out. I know he must have that sullen face again, but I can't help it. I love it when he reacts on my words. Maybe it's because he at least reacts on my words instead of ignoring like he does to every one else. At least I know, my words matters to him.

I know he hates me for calling him Kitty but honestly, it's the only way that keeps me connected to him. He doesn't know it but this name isn't just a name to me. It's all the love I have for him which I can't openly express in front of him. All that love, which I probably would never be able to express to him.
