What are the odds?

  Laura 

  Never in a million years did I ever imagine that my longtime crush would turn out to be my best friend’s dad!

    The first time I saw Jackson was on my sixteenth birthday, and he captured my heart instantly.

    My boyfriend had just broken up with me because I wouldn’t sleep with him when we'd only been together three months. I wanted to take it slow and he was okay with it at first until he started disturbing me. I wanted to get intimate too but something just kept pulling me back. He seemed too desperate and I didn’t like that so I decided to give it more time. That didn’t go well with him. 

  He dumped the news on me a few hours before my sixteenth birthday party, and my heart was so broken that I wanted to cancel the party. My feelings were all over the place and I was a mess. I just wanted to sulk up and cry myself to oblivion.

    Laurette and our friends wouldn’t let me. They dragged me to the bar and while they had all the fun, I sat in a corner, secretly moping the tears that flooded my eyes. They tried to cheer me up so many times but I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy the night. I kept thinking about everything over and over again. I couldn’t believe that I woke up so excited and eager to see what my darling boyfriend had for me. I honestly thought he had a surprise for me because of the way he had been behaving lately, sneaking around and all. I thought he was planning something big for me. Well, he did plan a big surprise after all. 

  Breaking up with me on my birthday is one heck of a surprise any girl would wish for…

    I was still wallowing in self-pity when this tall handsome man walked in and I mean this man was damn perfect. He had a lady on his arm, but that didn’t stop my eyes from feeding on him hungrily.

    His aura was so strong and I just couldn’t resist him. He noticed me after a few calculated stares from me, but his eyes didn’t stay long on me.

    As for me, my gaze never left his side. His high-end shirt did justice to his handsome face, nicely trimmed hair, chiseled chest which bulged against his shirt.

    The lady he went in with, who I assumed was his girlfriend, was all over him and I envied her. I wished it was me standing next to him, but then, I was only sixteen, and I could tell he was in his forties. I was very young and completely inexperienced about love, there was no way he would go for someone that naive.

    I left the bar that night, but I never forgot him. His face was ever registered in my head, and even after my boyfriend and I got back together, this strange man was still in my heart!

    It’s been four years and I never thought I would see him again or that he would be my best friend’s dad. However, standing in front of him again, I wasn’t sure if it was still love, but something in me awakened. An urge, a craving… call it whatever, but I yearned for every bit of this man!

    “I’m sorry, but I’m going to need my bestie now!” Arlene retorted, interrupting my thoughts as she dragged me back to the party.

    A guy was waiting for us, and he quickly stood up once we were standing in front of him. He was wearing a big smile and I could tell what was about to happen.

    “Laura, this is my friend, Andrew, he likes you and wants to get to know you better. Andrew, this is Laura, she’s my best friend, so I won’t take any BS from you, huh?” Arlene let out excitedly before leaving the two of us to it.

    Andrew seemed nice and good-looking, but he just wasn’t my type, or maybe my heart wasn’t ready for anyone that wasn’t my Jackson.

    Andrew and I got on the dancefloor and everything was going well until he started getting too handsy. He was all up in my face, pressing my body to his, and trying to touch me.

    “What’s wrong?” He asked when I finally pulled away from him.

    “Nothing, I just need to use the restroom, I’ll be back in a jiffy.” I replied and then walked away without waiting for a response.

    I was lying. I just needed an excuse to get away from his irritating attitude.

    I made my way upstairs, checking the rooms one after the other, trying to find Arlene’s room, so I could hide in there till the party ended.

    I was still at this when I noticed a room. The door was slightly opened, and I peeped inside out of curiosity. There was fantastic art in the corner, which further piqued my interest.

    I went in and, seeing the arrangement, I could tell it was Jackson’s room. I quickly went to the corner and got a good look at the art, which was really nice.

    I was about to leave when the water started running in the bathroom. For a split second, I got scared and contemplated whether to run or take a look.

    I decided to take a quick peep. I opened the door slightly and there was Jackson. Naked under the shower in his full glory!

    He was having a great time, lathering his body while the water poured over him in the sexiest way. I was so impressed with what I saw, and it made me weak to the bones.

    I was so lost in my imagination and mistakenly made a sound with the door.

    That was my cue to leave if I didn’t want to get caught.

    I quickly backed away, and ran out of the room…
