Jessica opened her eyes drowsily after sleeping for more than an hour, she wondered how long she had slept . She looked at Austin who was checking his phone at that time.
"Good morning ," he said when he saw her fidgeting.
"Good morning ," she said and asked him what time it was.
"Quarter past five ," he replied.
"Why didn't you wake me up then ?" she asked him.
"I didn't want to wake you up," he said in nonchalance.
"Take leave if you want to rest," he continued.
She shook her head and said," no I'm fine."
They both alighted from the car at once.
"Thankyou for yesterday," she thanked him.
"For the kiss ?" he raised his eyebrow playfully and said to see her cheeks flush red.
"No , what I meant was thanky_"
"I know. You don't have to thank me ," he said before she could finish her sentence.
She wanted to divert their topic and hence she asked him," why don't you sleep_"
"Sleep with ?" he asked her without letting complete her sentence.
"That is not what I mean, all I wanted to ask you was if you could stay here for a while and take shower," she said and looked away.
He tucked her hair behind her ear and nodded in agreement.
They both went upstairs taking lift to her flat. Jessica's house was neither big nor small. She had all she needed in her house. It is a 2bhk flat with a balcony. Austin who came for the first time to her home looked around the house. He liked the way things were placed, her house was simple yet elegant.
"You must be tired, sleep for a while ," she said.
"That's alright. I'm fine. I'll take shower," he said and went to her room to take shower.
Austin had a pair of clothes with him which he took from his car.
Jesssica took off the coat she had on her until now and hung it on hanger. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for both of them. She kept thinking what to cook for breakfast. She opened her fridge but found nothing healthy. All she could find was bread and eggs but she wanted to cook something good as it would be their first time having breakfast together.
"What are you thinking ?" Austin who came out of her room after taking shower asked her.
She saw him wearing a T-shirt and a track pant . He looked awfully handsome even in his causal clothes, his messy hair which fell on his forhead unevenly made him look attractive even if it wasn't combed.
"Thinking," she said holding an egg in her one hand and a loaf of bread in other.
"What's there to think, let's have it for breakfast ," he said taking them from her hands.
"But, I wanted to make something special for you since it is our first time eating together," she said dejectedly.
"Anything is fine for me, all I want is to have my breakfast with you right now," he said.
"Bread and Omelette is the only choice we have," she said and saw him smile.
"You sit, I'll make it for you," she said and tried to take bread from his hand but he insisted that he would help her.
And she couldn't say a no to him and hence he helped her in preparing for breakfast.
Jessica arranged the table while Austin was cooking in the kitchen. After he was done preparing, he brought two plates of bread and omlette and placed them on the table gently.
"How often do you cook ?" she asked him.
"Whenever I'm free at home ," he replied before taking a bite. It was around quarter to eight by the time they completed eating. After cleaning up the mess he created in the kitchen while cooking, she went to take shower when Austin was on a call. It was Steve who called him to tell about his plans for today. After ending the call, Austin dosed off.
Jessica came out after taking shower. Sitting in front of the mirror she dried her hair as it was wet, she looked at the guy who was sleeping on her bed in the mirror and turned back to look at him.
"Wish I could see him like this everyday," she thought. A smile escaped from her lips when she thought of the things that happened the other night and the time when they had their breakfast.
She walked towards her bed and sat beside him.
"Austin. Wake up ," she whispered into his ear. Her wet hair which fell on his face and her scent which intoxicates him made his eyes open to see the girl beside him.
"Go get ready, you'll be late," she said only to be pulled little closer to him holding her wrist.
She bent a little to his face taking support of her other hand on the bed, her sudden movement made him loose his grip over her.
She was his weekness, her presence was enough for him to forget everything. He lost all his senses when she came close to him but he didn't expect that this girl would take advantage of his weekness. He actually didn't intend to kiss her, he just wanted to see her reaction and let her hands free but to his surprise the girl came forward. Her innocent eyes, her wet hair and her scent made him weaker, his mind was unstable and before he could react, she took her phone which was under his pillow and stepped back when he lost his grip over her.
"Serves you right," she laughed looking at his surprised face.
He couldn't believe that he fell into her trap.
"Jessica you_ ," he called her name out and tried to get hold of her to teach her a lesson.
He followed her to the living room, she ran inorder to escape from him but that didn't work more than a minute. He caught her and pushed her against the wall. Jessica knew that he wouldn't leave her for what she has done a while ago but at that moment she wanted to tease him back.
"You know that I would follow you even if you run, didn't you ?" he asked her to see her nod slowly.
"I guess you do have an idea what I might do now," he said.
