Chapter 3
Mr stranger
Alvin's pov
Man!!! She's so captivating. Her voice, her laughter… Oh God , she's driving me crazy.
I wonder what she would be like in a romantic setting, would she be the type to blush at sweet nothings or would she be bold? I bet she'd be a mixture of both… sweet and sassy! I just hope everything works out just fine.
THE NEXT DAY
Dad sent me on an errand to go get some items at the grocery store. On my way there I felt a familiar presence, same as the one after my meeting with Daniella.
This time I made up my mind to fight back if needed. I pulled up a stick lying by the road side and turned to hit the mysterious person, but no one was there.
Again? But I was sure I was being followed… Oh God! I better not be going crazy.
I finally got to the grocery store, I reached for the door but a tall jock got to it first, unconsciously I accidentally bumped into him. His dark hair, built arms and strong cologne gripped my nostrils. He walked in and I couldn't help but stand there in awe of who he is
Wow… that guy is tall!! I bet he's handsome, and…(pausing, confused)
Wait, why am I thinking about that?
I'm straight, right? I've always been into women… right? I mean I'm into Daniella so yh I am." I let a big sigh before entering into the grocery store
"I watched the tall jock from afar trying to make Sense of what I was feeling, I have never been this intrigued before let alone for a man"
What's going on with me? Why am I staring at him? I mean there's nothing special about him, not like he's a celebrity or something, maybe I'm just appreciating the view? Yeah, that's it. appreciation! But those arms… I wonder how firm they'd be? Sheesh! Now that's a man!
(Nervously, I approached the tall jock, hoping to make conversation)
Hey Sorry about bumping into you earlier. My name's Alvin I'm grabbing milk, what about you?
"I felt so embarrassed the minute I said those words, "I'm grabbing milk" who says that? What in God's name am I even saying, the worst part is… he hasn't even spared me a glance, so why am I trying so hard? The nigga clearly doesn't give two fucks about me. After minutes of saying utter nonsense to a complete stranger, I finally took my walk of shame"
After several minutes of walking round the grocery, gathering things dad asked me too, I finally got to the last item on the list
Oh shit! Why is it so high up!
Uh…uh… "I cried out as I leaned forth, trying to reach for the item, suddenly a muscular hand appeared right in front of me, reaching for the same item I wanted." Wait… that scent, I know that scent.
I turned around and saw that same tall jock standing right in front of me. He was putting on a mask so I couldn't get a proper look at him. Damn he's really tall, the height difference between us is really obvious, his cologne gripped my nostrils and I felt a certain aura of dominance. He looked down at me as I subconsciously moved my arms to his chest, caressing it in a way, As his emerald green eyes pierced into mine I felt chills wrecking through my system. Our eyes locked in for the first time and it felt like time froze for a minute, in the mirror of his gaze I lost myself trying to search for something, a truth which only his eyes could tell, At least that's what It felt like.
I got pulled out of my thoughts as he pulled away from me, handing over the item before leaving.
Like a statue, I stood frozen in time, lost in the labyrinth of his eyes. A stranger's gaze had awakened a flutter in my chest, a thrill that danced between fear and fascination. For a moment, I felt the weight of uncertainty, like a whispered secret that only I could hear. My heart oscillated between curiosity and doubt, torn between the thrill of the unknown and the comfort of familiarity. In that instant, I was suspended between two worlds, unsure which path I'd choose, yet inexplicably drawn to the mystery that stood before me.
LATER THAT DAY
Hey Dad I'm home
"Hey Bud, what took you so long?"
Uh… I had to make a quick stop at Daniella's place, she had something going on and I…
"Hey…. Boy you don't need to explain too much. it's okay, you're old enough just remember to use protection, I don't want any infections in my home".
What? Dad!
"What? Why are you yelling, or do you want some Infection? I sure know how you can get it."
What?... No I don't! And whatever it is you're thinking, it's not happening.
"Why?"
What do you mean why
"You two are already gonna get married, so what's stopping you?"
I mean… yes we're gonna get married but I just don't want it to be like those unhappy arranged marriages.
"From what I've seen you guys seem really happy"
As friend's… yes, but I want her to love me like really love me. If we're gonna spend the rest of our lives together we should at least be happy right?
"Well all the best bud, you're my son you've got your old man's charms"
Haha very funny
