1026 Words
Have you found your mate?
Jeff clocked six some months ago but he hasn't told me if he found his mate or not. I asked him but he always avoids my question.
I don't know why he does that, I will try asking him again.
**Knocks**
“Come in”.
Ohh, it's you. What are you up to? Jeff mumbled,while scanning my whole body.
I feel very uncomfortable when he does that. His looks very handsome when has those looks on.
“I'm here to ask you about something”, Amelia Said, heading towards where he was.
“Yes, go ahead” Jeff muttered with a little smirk on his face, making me want to hug him tightly.
Have you found your mate yet? Amelia asked, Jeff stood up from the bed, and walked towards her.
She feels very uncomfortable and secure at the same time. She doesn't have any idea of what he's going to say but she'd like to know.
“What do you think? Little Miss”, Jeff asked softly, he stared at me and raised my head up to look straight into his eyeballs.
“I-i just w-want t-to k-know”, I stammered, and looked down abruptly.
You want to know? He drew me closer to him so closely I could feel his breath on my face, his hands landed on my waist which sent tingles all over my body.
He caressed my cheeks and kissed me passionately. I felt his hand on my waist, and I was completely stunned.
I had never expected this kind of response from him. I tried pushing him away but he held me tightly and deepened the kiss. I could feel my heart racing and my head spinning.
Finally, he released me from the kiss and looked into my eyes with a gentle smile.
“I'm sorry, Amelia. I didn't mean to do that”, he said softly.
“It’s okay”, I replied, still a little dazed from the sudden kiss.
“To answer your question, no, I haven't found my mate yet”, he continued, “I'm still searching.”
I nodded still trying to process what just happened. I had known that Jeff was a bit of a playboy, but I had never expected him to kiss me like that.
“Is there anything else you wanted to ask me?”he asked, breaking the silence.
“No, that was all”, I replied feeling a little embarrassed.
“Well then, I should get back to what I was doing earlier”, he said, giving me a quick smile.
As I left the room, I couldn't help but wonder what the kiss meant. Did he have feelings for me? Or was it a momentary lapse of judgment? I knew I had to talk to him about it but I wasn't sure how to bring it up.
For now, I decided to focus on the fact that he hasn't found his mate yet. Maybe there's still a chance for us after all.
***
As I walked out of Jeff's room, my mind was racing with thoughts and questions. I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss, and what it might mean for us. I wanted to talk to Jeff about it, but I didn't want to make things awkward between us.
A few days went by, and Jeff and I went to college together as usual. But there was a tension between us that I couldn't ignore. I knew that I had to talk to him, but I just couldn't find the right moment.
Finally, during lunch time, Jeff walked towards me and sat down next to me.
He looked up at me with a serious expression.
“Amelia, we need to talk”, he said. I looked at my friend sitting opposite me to please excuse us.
I nodded, feeling a lump in my throat.
“I know that things have been a little awkward between us since…you know”, he continued, trailing off.
I nodded again, not sure what to say.
“I just want you to know that I didn't mean to kiss you like that”, he Muttered. “It was just a moment of weakness, and I shouldn't have done it”.
I felt a pang of disappointment in my chest, but I tried my best to hide it.
“I understand”, I said, trying to sound casual.
“But that's not all, he continued”. “ I've been doing a lot of thinking since then, and I realized something”.
“What's that?”, I asked, feeling my heart race.
“I think I have feelings for you, Amelia”, he said, looking into my eyes.
My heart skipped a bit, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Jeff is a playboy, he can't dispute that. He is being wanted by so many girls, he doesn't care about feelings. What if he later sees his mate and leaves me?
A lot of thoughts keep crossing my mind, I don't know what to say. Jeff is my childhood friend, I know what he can do and what he can't. I just hope this love ends well.
“Hello?” Jeff muttered, his voice sprang me out of my thoughts.
“I know things could get complicated, but I couldn't keep it to myself anymore”, he continued. “I had to tell you how I feel”.
I didn't know what to say, I just stood there, staring at him.
“Amelia, do you have feelings for me?he asked, looking hopeful.
I took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. “Yes, Jeff”, I said. “I do have feelings for you”.
He smiled, and I felt a rush of relief and happiness.
“Then let's give this a shot”, he said, taking my hands. “Let's see where this goes”.
And with that, we embarked on a new chapter in our lives, full of excitement, uncertainty and hope.
