Anthonys POV

I open the door and hold it open for her as she walks in hesitantly. I look around outside towards the street to see if anyone saw her or me or if anyone is watching us before going inside and closing the door behind me.

She turns on the lights as she takes off her jacket and i take off mine as well, taking hers from her and hanging it on the hook

"Nice place" she looks around as i watch her

"Thanks" i stare at her body, her legs in particular- what i would do to have them wrapped around me

"-Yourself?" She looks to me as i look back up to her face

"What was that?" I tune back in

"Do you..live by yourself?" She chuckles a bit as i raise my brows, nodding

"Oh..oh-yeah, of course" i laugh a bit "sorry..just..you're pretty distracting"i admit to her as she tries to fight a smile

"Stop.." she starts "you're just saying that" she brushes me off as i get closer to her

"No, really, you..are singlehandedly the most magnificent thing I've ever seen walk this earth" i tell her as stares into my eyes.

Her breathes become shallow as i look down to her lips lustfully. I grab her waist as she pulls back from me suddenly

"Wait" she starts as i look up to her eyes

"What? Whats wrong?" i ask worriedly

"I should..tell you something" she starts nervously as i nod for her to continue "i um..well-b-before we..um.. whatever- i just want you to know that..i dont..think im ready to..to um-"she tries to say as i stare at her amusedly before stopping her

"We dont have to have..sex, kendall" i chuckle looking into her eyes as she looks back to me, breathing out, relieved

"Really?" She asked "i-i thought you wanted to and thats why-"

"No" i chuckle "we can just chill, i just wanted to chill with you, maybe cook dinner?" I say motioning towards the kitchen as she breathes out, smiling to me

"Oh" she says before laughing a bit "Thank you" she hugs me as i hug her back laughing

"Besides.." i start as she looks up to me "i never give out on the first date" i tell her as she laughs harder

Kendalls POV

"Mm..you make really good spaghetti" i say slurping up one of the noodles covered in sauce

"Its all in the sauce" Anthony muses as i giggle a bit "come taste now.." he says as he adds something else to it.

Hes wearing jeans and a gray long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His curly hair was a dark chocolate brown and his eyes were like a light deep brown. His olive skin somehow managed to be tanned despite the weather averaging 30 degrees, and he was soo yummy-oh, i mean..the um..the sauce is yummy, right, yeah..

He held out the wooden spoon for me with a bit of the sauce on it for me to try. I touch it with my index finger before licking it off my finger and he looks at my mouth before up to my eyes intently

"Mm" i hum "very tasty" i say softly, in almost a whisper as we make intense eye contact

He stares at me as i feel myself leaning towards him more and more

"Go sit at the table" he says as his breath fans my face softly and i look up to him, literally inches from his face, biting my lip before cracking a smile

"Fine" i say softly "ill go to the table" i say to him before walking over to the table and sitting down as i feel his eyes on me the entire time. "What?" I look to him

"Nothing" he breathes out, shaking his head "nothing" he says as he continues to mix the sauce

When he finishes, he brings me over a plate full of spaghetti and a side of italian bread.

"Wow, we carbo loading?" I laugh as does he

"Dont worry, as long as we work it off we'll be fine" he tells me "i can help you work it off if you'd like" he says suggestively as my eyes widen as i look to him with a mouth full of spaghetti

"Anthony" i say through the food as he laughs

"Kidding..kidding" he says "im glad you like it" he nods, before eating some too.

After we ate we found our way to his couch and now we're watching some episodes of the walking dead and sitting next to eachother kind of awkwardly.

What do we do?

I mean, should we cuddle? Does he want to? Is that too suggestive? I dont know. Maybe he doesn't even want to cuddle, what if he just wants straight up sex? Oh my god-oh my god.

No. No-i told him no already he knows..but i am a little cold and i wouldn't mind being close to him right now..

"Are you cold?" He looks to me as i rub my palms over my arms

"Um.." i start as he looks to me, pausing the show "actually a little.." i trail

Anthonys POV

"Why didn't you say something?" I chuckle as she blushes timidly

"Im sorry..i didn't wanna bother you" she exclaims

"It bothers me that you aren't comfortable" i tell her getting up and going to a leather bench under the tv and opening it to take out a blanket for her

I bring it over and sit back down after opening it out for her. I sit back on my side of the couch, making sure to keep my space before grabbing the remote and pressing play.

Suddenly shes moving closer to me and leans against my arms while cuddling up in the blanket. I reflexively look up to her as she looks up to me as well

"I-is this okay?" She asked me as i try to hide my excitement

"Yeah its fine" i say cooly "do whatever makes you comfortable" i say, sounding more suggestive than i wanted. Eh..couldn't hurt.

I'm not expecting anything to happen but i wouldn't mind if something did..

We sit there like that watching the show before her phone rings and we automatically look to each other before i pause the tv and she sits up to reach for her phone

"Who is it?" I ask, hoping its not who i think it is. She looks to me knowingly, clenching her jaw as she swallows hard

"Chris"
