Lisa p.o.v
After the goodnight kiss, I entered the guest room which I was staying at and he went to his room. I leaned on the door holding the knob as I remained there thinking about what just happened and I couldn't stop blushing.
I couldn't stop thinking about the kids and I barely slept until midnight as I was trying hard to sleep but due to the excitement in my stomach I couldn't get any sleep.
So I woke up and left the room to go to the kitchen to have something to eat as my stomach was growling. As I I entered the kitchen I heard footsteps.
At first I thought I was just imagining it but it got louder and I quickly yelled at the person to stop.
Whoever was there froze and turned to look at me, it was none other than toby, he was holding a bottle of water and a plate.
''having trouble sleeping?'' he asked as he put the plate on the table.
"I was sleeping, I just wanted to drink water" I said trying hard not to check him out as he was only in shorts.
"Really?then why don't you look like you slept,are you lying to me again?" He asked raising his left eyebrow which I can't lie it makes him look cute.
"You think I look cute?" He asked.
I can't believe I said that out loud.
I scolded myself mentally while biting my tongue.
"Yea...no, sorry, I mean i did, I do think that, besides there's nothing wrong complimenting someone right?" I asked wondering why I even have to say it.
"No, there's nothing wrong by complimenting someone especially if that person is me" he said smiling.
"I know right,so am going to leave then Goodnight" I said after the awkward moment and eventually forgetting to get water for myself.
"Wait, didn't you want to get water to drink?" He asked pointing to the bottle of water he was holding.
"Right,I must have forgotten that " I said smiling as I walked towards the fridge.
Without warning, he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the fridge and turned me to face him.
He was closer to me, that I almost got squeezed by his broad body, I was a bit shorter so him being that close I looked like a child with his height.
He pulled my head for me to look at him and boy he had dreamy eyes I could easily get lost in them.
He looked intense with his face closer to mine and I had no choice but to close my eyes as my heart was racing out.
He heard him chuckled and let my neck go and I found myself breath as if I was holding it for a long time.
"I don't know why you looked scared of me now when you were ok with me kissing you earlier " he said.
I didn't know either, something was going on in my mind and I didn't know he was sensing it, I seemed to forget that he was listening to my heartbeat.
"Let me guess you think that I am uncomfortable with you? Is that why you were listening to my heart?" I asked him.
"I don't know, but you seemed scared and I thought it was because of me or is 5there something you're not telling me?" He asked frustrated.
"There's something but it's not about you ,its veronica. Did you by any chance invited her to your party?" I asked him curiously.
"What? No, I didn't, knowing the fact that you're both mad at each other and what makes you think I would do that unless..." he stopped as he thought.
"Let me guess your mom?" I asked.
"Don't you worry, if you want I will ask her to cancel the invitation, I don't want you to be uncomfortable with her being around you " he said holding my hand.
"No,no, it's fine, it's not about me, it's your party and you choose whom to invite or not and besides am looking forward to meet her" I said as I wanted to see her.
"What? Really?but ...why tomorrow?" He asked confused.
"Because I want to tell her something in person after what she revealed to me, I was super upset and I needed time to think things over so tomorrow I'll tell her what have decided to do with my life" I said.
I know what my aunt did was wrong for hiding the truth and that made me think that she did it for her own benefit but now I want to know the truth about everything.
I didn't answer her text that time so I think she will come tomorrow to see me so am looking forward to see her again.
I am so nervous to hear what she might say at the same time I was thinking about the situation I will be putting myself in for.
I didn't even realise that toby was caressing my cheek and was a staring at me the whole time.
"You seem more excited for this party more than me, is it because of veronica or do you have something in your mind?" He asked as he leaned closer to my lips.
"Maybe, who knows there will be more of a surprise than you think and besides were you bluffing when you said that you owned the mall?" I asked curiously.
"If you are so eager to know whether I was lying or not how about you do your research am sure you'll be surprised to find out what out about me" he said smiling and leaned forward to kiss me.
I didn't say anything but responded to his kiss as my heart skipped a little as he continued kissing me and I found myself being carried to his room.
He opened the door and we entered his room, he carefully laid me on his bed and hovered over me, he was still kissing me and then he stopped and looked at me as if he was staring at a beautiful gem.
"I don't know if this is the right time to say this but I think am falling madly in love with you lisa" he said as he len in for another kiss.
He then softly bit my lower lips,which made my heart beat skip a little.
I didn't say anything but I did feel something for him too but I am not sure what to say.
"Don't think too much about it, take your time and I'll wait for your answer whenever you decide" he said as he gave me a peck on the lips.
I was glad that he didn't want to hear my answer right away and that he gave me time to think about my decision.
Then why the hell is it hard for me to tell him the answer now?....
