The One I've Loved

Chapter 56

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 nonchanlance .

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 wasnt 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 ears . 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 .
