Falling in..... L❤️VE

Feelings

I was going through notes and Ae was helping me memorize them. He even helped me with few things and I liked having him around, it was........ soothing? Something like that.

I was stuck with something so I turned my head to ask him and found him looking at me intensely. I felt my heart racing as my gaze met with his. Something about the way he looked at me was sending tingles over my body. I felt my breathing getting heavy and butterflies were dancing inside my stomach. He leaned forward inching closer to me, his gaze still fixed on me while he closed the distance between us.

His dark eyes were holding my gaze captive while his hand reached my cheek and started to caress it. I slowly closed my eyes leaning into his touch, it felt warm. "Pete...." His voice was almost a whisper as he came closer and called my name. I didn't know how to respond. This was a complete new feeling and I felt my heart about to explode. My cheeks felt hot wherever he touched and the temperature inside the room seemed to have risen up suddenly.

I could feel his hot breathe fanning against my skin and became more and more intense as the distance between us got shorter and shorter. I could feel the frantic rise and fall of my chest. "Pete!!" the sound of Pond calling my name made me snap my eyes open and then I saw Ae retrieving himself back.

My gaze traveled to the door and after a while Pond appeared at the door. Thankfully, he didn't witness anything what happened just now. "Ow Pete.... You look red like tomato. Are you not feeling well?" Pond asked. "Pond, why don't you keep yourself busy with the games? Pete has to study." Ae replied. "Well.... Martha asked me to call Pete for dinner that's why I am here. But what are you doing here?" Pond shot back and started to eye his brother suspiciously.

"I was here to speak to him and then thought of helping him with studies." Ae replied. "Hmmm... come for dinner. It's already served." Pond said and then turned around leaving us two alone. I could see Ae rubbing his nape while I tried to compose myself. "L-Let's go and have dinner." He said, finally getting up from the couch. "Okay...." I said raising myself to follow him.

We made our way downstairs and headed straight to the dining room. I could hear Martha and Pond talking. We entered the room and moved straight to our places. Today's dinner was filled with an awkward silence, nobody dared to speak. I could see Pond eyeing us suspiciously while Ae kept his eyes on the plate.

After we were done with dinner, I directly headed back to my room. I closed the door and then headed straight to bed. I lay on the mattress thinking about what happened just a while ago. Why is it that every time I am with Ae, I feel safe and secure? What is this feeling which I get when he is this close to me?

I have so many people around me but the feeling I have when Ae is around is different. It's like being in a different world. Whenever I look at him, my heart leaps up in joy; when he is not around, I miss him more; it's like am used to his presence. Or is it something more than what I am thinking?

I closed my eyes and pulled the duvet over myself. Even though sleep had plan to desert me, I still needed rest since I have a college to attend next day.

After tossing in the bed for some time, I finally fell asleep. The next morning, as usual, the criminal placed on the night stand started to scream. This thing was going to trouble me all year round. I shut it off while I moved to leave the bed. I tried to open my eyes and then adjusted them to the light that was filtering in through the window.

I dragged myself to bathroom to get cleaned up. After I was done with my business, I walked out and then slipped into my uniform. I grabbed my bag and made my way downstairs towards the dining room. As usual, Ae and Pond had already arrived and were having their breakfast so I joined them.
