Oh You're Approaching Me Novels & Stories

I said, trying to sound casual. But then he said something that made my pulse quicken. “How about I come to you? Come on, tell me where you are…”

The angel I had seen even in my dreams. I want to move closer to him. It’s like some insane pull tugging me towards him. “Hey.” He greets awkwardly. “Hi” I respond.

I look at him. "I know," I say. "Do you?" "I know it here." I put my hand over my chest. "And sometimes it takes a minute to get from here to here." I move my hand to my head. He almost smiles. "Then take the minute." "I already did." "And?" "And you're still the only person in this clearing I want to be standing next to."

I counter casually while drawing my hands out from my pockets, readying my stance subtly into a fight stand. “I have to leave now and I’m well aware that neither of you live anywhere near me, so following me and saying you live close by isn’t going to work. By the way... don’t speak to me unless we actually have to set something up and need to work... Bye now.” I wait for them to leave as I wave my hand dismissively.

When he reaches me, he leans in slightly, voice low, teasing, just above a whisper: “Hey, sweetheart.” Time tilts sideways. The office, the people, the city outside the window. They all disappear. And in that moment, I know this isn’t the last time we’ll meet.

He wishes to wash me. We are now totally aware of each other's bodies. I crave to touch him. I innocently shuffle backwards closer to him making sure our bodies deliciously meet each other only to arch my back raising my ass into the air. I tell him indirectly he can have me right here right now if he wants to.

Has he completely lost it? But with every step, he closes the distance between us. By the time he is standing right in front of me, I have to swallow the lump rising in my throat. His scents hit me. “ Hi, Ava.”

I replied, my voice was slightly annoyed now that he was teasing me. “Fine. Come here,” he said as he motioned both his hands to me as if he was telling me to come near him. “Hey, come on.” I pressed my lips into thin lines, annoyed that he was doing that. Nevertheless, I still stepped forward and when I got in front of him, I blinked several times when I realized how closed we were to each other. I gasped and I was so stunned that I could not even move when I saw we were just inches away.

Me three. ***

he said, showing me the screen. The message was simple. "I am closer than you think. Are you ready to play?" My blood froze.
