THREE PERFECT DAYS

Chapter 5: DAY ONE

“You live alone?” I asked as we reached his living room. All furniture beautifully arranged and the house is all filled with black and white. Scary but breathtakingly beautiful.

“Parents are out of town. Our househelpers…well we don’t have one; we just hire someone to clean the house for a day. I’ll head to the kitchen too prepare lunch. What would you like to eat, Iris?”

“Anything will do.”

“Just turn on the television if you want. I’ll be back in an hour. Will you be okay here?”

“Yeah, totally.”

When he was gone, I had a great time looking at every corner of their living room. Most of their family picture is on display. His mother looks like a model. I wonder how old she is? Even his dad looks strikingly handsome.

So is he the only child? This place has too much space for a family of three. Well, I guess that’s just how they like it. Riley Hetherson is one lucky guy. I didn’t get the chance to turn on the t.v. Why? I was busy giving updates to Amanda. Is she just the annoying little thing? No, she’s just like that….my mother figure in school. She’s my bestfriend and my second sister. Is she concerned about what will happen? I guess. Besides, I’m not gonna rape the guy, her cousin, for fuck’s sake.

I grinned. What a silly thought. I never even had sex for the record. I may be the bitchy person in campus but I know my limits. Well duh, who would even give her virginity to a guy she just find smoking hot? Oh I know…..it’s a person who can’t stop her sexual hormones from exploding from lust. Jeez, why can’t they wait for the right time to do it?  

My weird thoughts broke when Riley called out my name in the kitchen. I could smell pizza.

I dig myself in into the 24 inch pizza he cooked. It was all coated with cheese. After the meal, I felt like I’m in heaven. This is the best and perfect meal after a diet. Totally.

“I didn’t know you could eat that big. Don’t you have a diet thing?” He asked and wiped the pizza crumbs from the sides of my mouth. My heart skipped a beat. I cleared my throat.

“Screw it. Besides the competition is still next year. I could burn the fats in a day.” I joked.

He chuckled and pulled out his hand and took one last bite on the slice of pizza on his plate.

“What about you, basketball players need to maintain figures right?”

“Oh you mean abs?” He teased. “I have eight of them so don’t worry.” He bragged. Too much pride. The wind is too windy for me to handle over here. I scoffed and laughed.

“Oh so you don’t believe me?” He stood up

I shook my head. A guy like Riley can only occupy four to six. But eight? Oh he probably needs a miracle. A great miracle!!!!! I laughed harder. My eyes are growing teary.

He clicked his tongue. “You don’t believe your boyfriend has an eight-pack abs?”

I shrugged and wiped my eyes. I need to stop laughing.

“Ouch my ego was hurt.” He clenched his heart acting as if he’s on heart attack. “Let me show you.”

I cocked an eyebrow. “Show me what?”

He didn’t say a word but he grabbed the hem of his shirt and slowly he pulled it up. What the heck is this dude doing? Seducing me? Or was he trying to show me his abdomen? I flushed and covered my eyes.

“Don’t cover your eyes.” I can feel his breath. Yes, I think he’s just an inch away from me.

“You can’t stop me. You’re about to take your shirt off.”
