“Can I come in?" I asked trying to maintain an innocent countenance.
Chapter Four
Jonah
“Gosh she is beautiful "
But I knew that was all there was, nothing more. I knew I could only admire her and not act on how she was looking at me at the moment. I still saw lust and desire in her eyes despite how innocent she looked.
“Into my house?”
“Yes, " she muttered.
“Did your aunt send you?” I said looking beyond her and trying to catch a glimpse of their hallway.
“No, I came on my own. It's important I talk to you."
I was a bit unsure about letting her in, but then realistically it wasn't like it was much of a big deal. Trying not to think of the worst I opened the door wider and don't bolt. I didn't even close it completely. I led her to the living room and pointed to the couch opposite me. I sat about two couches away from her and waited. Maybe I needed to be more friendly and mature around her so she would probably see me as an uncle.
“I know what I'm about to say sounds crazy, but…”
What is this about?
I didn't say a word. I watched her closely as I waited for her to speak.
"I'm attracted to you. I think I have feelings for you.”
I was dumbfounded.
I looked towards the door still not fully closed. I was expecting her best friend to come into my house, and then they will both shout, "It’s a prank”, but nothing happened.
“Is this some sort of prank or a joke?”
“No ... It’s not. Since I set my eyes on you, I've always wondered what it would feel like to be your woman, but I felt it was a silly thought. But the more I fought it, the more it grew.”
I swallowed hard and forced myself not to take her words seriously. I didn't want the words to have any effect on my emotions because she was damn beautiful and endowed. Maybe this was just a youth’s thing, she would get over it soon.
“It's beginning to feel like I'm losing my mind and I know it may sound crazy, but I like you.”
“Claire, you will get over it I promise,” I said getting up and walking towards the door, and expecting her to follow me, but she remained seated refusing to get up.
“You are very young, and also nothing will happen between the two of us. I appreciate your emotions and I salute your boldness but telling me wouldn’t help in any way.”
She got up and moved close to me.
“Aren't you attracted to me too?”
I moved away and looked towards the door. I looked back at her and said, " Even if I was, there is nothing we can do about it.”
"That's not true ….”
“Claire, please go home and sleep. What you are suggesting cannot stand.”
“But why/ Can't we…?
“How old are you? I asked.
“I'm twenty.”
