Anaiah's pov.I rolled into the parking lot of Coffee and Bagels,a charming little cafe in Helway.I got out after picking up my bag and pressing the lock on my car keys.I made my way inside the doors of the cafe, immediately spotting my date .He was sitting at the booth by the floor to ceiling glass windows that overlooked the sidewalk.I broke into a smile as I made my way over to himI slid into the booth across from him as he turned to look at me.I inhaled the scent of the cafe, relishing it.It smelled like...a normal cafe.Roasted coffee beans,sugar and freshly baked pastries.The ambience of the cafe was also calm and comforting,filled with the sound of clinking cups and saucers and the low hum of conversations."You are here.Let me just say ,you look gorgeous as always", Micah said with a welcoming smileHe had asked me to this coffee date and had offered to pick me up but I had declined.I did not want my mom and granny getting the wrong idea.Those two were dramatic and quick
Anaiah's pov."I am so sorry",I said apologizing to a lady I had almost bumped into on my way to the library.I had received a text from Hayes yesterday reminding me of our meet up in the library after school to get a little work done on our project.He had sent another reminder this morning too.He had stayed true to his word, texting me only for school meetups to work on projects.And I can't believe I am saying this but I found myself wishing he texted me on a personal level as well.We had agreed to meet up at 4'oclock pm and it was 4:15 now .I was late.Yay!I made my way up the stairs that led to the huge double glass doors of the library.I paused for a minute,staring at my reflection.No stray hairs ,clothes perfect,just a little flushed from walking briskly.I was not checking my appearance for him.I just wanted to look presentable.I took in a deep breath and opened the doors.I stepped inside and was greeted with a gust of cool air from the air conditioners.The inside of the li
Anaiah's pov. I was sitting beside the boy who has been invading my thoughts for the past week.I was doing my best to appear unaffected by his presence but I knew I was almost failing. I just hoped he did not notice. "And this brings us to the end of our lesson today",the professor's voice rang out right in time with my alarm sounding for a change of lesson. There were whoops of joy from the students especially those sitting at the back of the lab.Seated there also were some guys who whistled suggestively when I entered the class late.It want hard to place them as the hooligans of the class.Every class had one. Yes,I was late to my first lesson and it was none other than Micah's fault.He had dragged me to have ice cream after my tour of the lab.We were enjoying our conversation so much that I had not seen the time.By the time my alarm rang,I was too far from the lab . Getting there had made me late. The quiet lab suddenly became noisy.It filled up with the noise of students scr
She was in a black turtleneck top that hugged her frame perfectly.Paired with a pleated mid thigh length skirt that drew emphasis to her small waist. She had on knee length black boots that gave off a cool edge.Two small hoop earrings,a silver chain adorned her ears and neck and her hair was pulled back loosely with a claw clip. I have never seen someone so effortlessly cool and sexy. A few guys in the back whistled suggestively and she gave them a nasty look, shutting them up. "You are late Miss...",the professor said dragging the miss,a cue for her to provide her name. She dragged her gaze from mine and turned with an apologetic smile facing the professor. "Anaiah Jones",she said. "Miss Jones,I will let you off today since it's your first class .The next time this happens,you would sit outside throughout the lesson". "Yes sir,I'm so sorry.I promise it won't happen again.Thank you",she replied,her voice full of gratitude and relief. She released a breath made her wa
The past week has been torturous.Thoughts of Anaiah plagued me with an intensity that left me pissed most of the times.I knew Jasper was so over me at this point. He had tried to pry why I was moody.i did not say.i was not about to let him know I was pining after a girl who I had only met for a few minutes just one time. God,I sound pathetic.I am constantly berating my foolishness for failing to take her contact.And I also have no idea the kind of classes she is taking as well. I even contemplated going over to her house and asking for her.As matter of fact,I did walk up to her driveway at one point in time but chickened out the last minute.I realized I had no idea what to say should she come to the door.I wanted to say hi? Damnit,I have never chased after a girl before.It is always the other way round.They throw themselves at me.And I indulged those I was interested in. I never kickstart a relationship though.It was always a one time thing.It helped in preventing misinterpr
Anaiah's pov. It has been a whole week since I met the gorgeous, gorgeous hunk called Hayes. And to be honest,I have been avoiding him ever since. He did not stay home a lot from what I saw.He would come in late with his Ducati and leave early. And I was not intentionally keeping tabs on him.It is just that my bedroom window overlooked his. Sometimes I would see him in his room working out.Mostly,early mornings. And my,oh my,it was a feast for my eyes.Though I sometimes wish my hands and tongue could join as well-just kidding. Or not. Anyways, I would watch as he lifted dumbbells,the muscles on his hands and back, tightenings and contracting,his skin stretched taut.Sweat was gliding down his back and disappearing into his shorts. His back,chest and hands were covered in tattoos.I have caught myself literally drooling from as a result of fantasizing really dirty thoughts about him at random times . I wanted to be held in those powerful arms as I traced his tattoos w
