I woke up engulfed in the mix of scents, vanilla being the most distinct one the undertones of lavender and heavy rain brought together the smell I came to love so much. I burrowed deeper into the pillow, taking a deep breath the smell intoxicating me and clouding my mind. "It's hard to believe someone can smell so good." I stretched out in bed reluctant to leave. A few minutes went by before I heard an excited bark, I sat up in bed as I took a peek at the time. "It's still early I wonder if Iris is awake. I bet she looks adorable when she's sleeping!" Deciding to go take a look I slowly rested my feet on the cold hardwood floor, weirdly it always feels soothing to me. I walked out of the room following the hallway down into the living room. Once there I was met with an empty couch that showed no signs anyone had been sleeping in it. "Where could she be?" I stood awkwardly in place not knowing where to go or what to do, it was the same excited bark as before that broke me out of my frozen state. Following the sound bouncing around the walls, I was lead to the backyard. As tiptoed to the door I was met with the brown gentle eyes of the beautiful latina. I smiled shyly at Iris, as I did so I flipped my hair to the side trying to ease my self consciousness. "How can she look so good in the morning? She looks just as hot as usual. Hmm I wonder what her voice sounds like when she just woke up!" I slowly moved to the sit next to the gorgeous olive skinned girl as I sat down her scent caressed me  once again. "Damn, this girl is getting me addicted to her fast!" My thoughts got interrupted by her raspy voice. "Did you sleep well?" "She's so damn sweet!" I smiled wholeheartedly at her. "Yes I did! Your bed is really comfortable!" "The fact it smells like you has a lot to do with it!" I could feel myself flush red. If the brunette noticed she chose not to comment on it making me feel incredibly relieved. A comfortable silence settled around us creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Some time passed before my crush spoke. "Should we watch the sunrise? Or do you want to go in and have breakfast?" My gaze met her dark one, that held such curiosity and a complexity I can't quite wrap my head around. I felt giddy as her words registered with me. "Can we stay? I haven't watched the sunrise in a very long time!" Her eyes sparkled and I can swear my heart just melted. She looked off into the distance at the sky as it started to radiate a gradient of colors. "I want to make this a moment to remember... God what are you doing to me Iris?" I looked at the girl as hesitation fought my determination. With a deep breath all my doubt left me and I rested my head on her shoulder. The vanilla scent embraced me. "How does she manage to smell so good all the time? Even that day when she was standing in the rain looking completely at peace.... It's impossible for me not to see her like that whenever I close my eyes. She's taking over my mind. I even dreamt about her! Ugh I'm so freaking whipped and I barely know her!" A loud growl pulled me from my introspection. I couldn't help but let out a giggle. "I guess it's about time we have breakfast." "She's so cute and adorable yet so hot. I'm getting hungry too." I smirked at the beautiful instructor at the same time I jumped up from the porch swing and extended a hand in her direction. When our hands touched, butterflies exploded in my stomach. I pulled her with me back inside the house. I stopped realizing I had no idea where I was going. "Humm where's the kitchen?" I ask bashfully causing her to chuckle. My heart skipped a beat at the sound. "To the left of the living room." After I got the answer I pulled her by our still joined hands. Going inside the kitchen I was met with an array of food. I turned my eyes towards the goddess. "You never cease to impress me!" She looked embarrassed as she talked fast. "I know it's too much food but I didn't know you like." I tried to ease her by squeezing hand hoping she would understand I wasn't judging. "How about some pancakes? Maybe with some fruit or chocolate chips? Or maybe waffles! Those sound pretty great too!" I rambled on feeling myself getting excited. "I can do a bit of everything if you want." The Latina goddess started moving the kitchen getting breakfast ready. My bubbly mood spilled over. "Omg thank you! You're the best!" I gave the olive skinned instructor a big smiled which was returned in a matter of seconds. "You can take a sit while I get things ready." I did as instructed watching the beautiful brunette look completely in her element. "How can she seem so at ease doing most things?" My body roamed her body as her muscles tightened and relaxed under her skin. "She's teasing me so hard and she doesn't even know it!" The sound of humming took me by surprise causing my attention to spike up. I just listened to her seducing voice as all my focus was on her. Deciding to break the silence I commented. "You have a lovely voice!" My award was a soft blush. Iris cleared her throat before answering. "Thanks so do you!" I covered my face as the cuteness from the beauty in front of me mixed with a wave of shyness. "God it's so unfair! I just want to make you mine." The announcement that followed shattered all of my embarrassment replacing it with excitement. "Breakfast is ready!"  The dogs run into the kitchen shortly after. "I guess you guys are hungry too huh?" They both sat down looking up at their owner looking so incredibly happy as if she was the best thing in their lives. "I'm starting to understand why you two are unconditionally in love with her. I think I'm starting to be too!" I haven't stopped staring at her the domesticity of the moment not being lost on me. "Shall we?" Was directed at me making me nod quickly. "I'm starving and this smells amazing!" When I took the first bite I couldn't stop myself from groaning in pleasure. "Holy shit this is way too good! I can't believe I just made that sound! I hope I didn't freak her out!" I got to know a bit more about her as we ate, our food disappearing much faster then I would like it to. "I don't want this moment to end! Should I risk it and ask her to do something with me? Would that seem weird?" Gathering my courage I threw the question into the air. "What are your plans for today?" "I don't have any yet! How about you?" I tried to sound nonchalant but I could sense my hesitation seeping through. "Humm nothing either. But I think I need a shower before anything else." I tried to steady my nerves as I continued. "Is it alright if I do it here? Or if you're uncomfortable with that I can go home and come back." The few seconds that followed seemed like a lifetime. "Come back?" Her question made me flinch. "Shit did I cross a line?" "Humm yeah I just thought since neither of us has plans that maybe we could do something together." "I just want the ground to swallow me whole." Instead of the negative response I was fearing my crush answered. "Alright that sounds good! About the shower I'm fine with you taking one here but I'm not sure if I have something that will fit you." I looked her over see her point while the latina was shorter than me she was fit af. "I think I can figure something out!" "Follow me then." I did as instructed. When we got to her room, the one i had been sleeping in earlier, several places were pointed out to me. "That's the bathroom you can take a shower there since you'll be closer to the clothes which are there." My eyes followed her indications trying to memorise them. "Feel free to look around in it for anything to wear." I gave a small nod trying not to dwell on the thought of the gorgeous brown eyed girl getting undressed. "Oh I almost forgot! The towels are in the cabinet in the bathroom. Left door." "Thanks." I was offered a smile. "No problem! I'll see you in a bit!" I watch her walk out of the room, releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding I took in the details in her room that I haven't noticed earlier. There were pictures of her dog along with amazingly realistic pencil portraits of them, there were some paintings as well. The walls were beautifully done in a way that resembled galaxies, which in turn made me think of Iris' eyes.

I watched her walk out of the room, releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding I took in the details in her room I haven't noticed earlier. There were pictures of her dogs on the walls along with amazingly realistic portraits of them as well as some paintings of different sceneries. The walls were beautifully done in a way that resembled galaxies which in turn made me think of her eyes. "They hide away so many misteries so many secrets, they make me weak with their insatiable curiosity. She seems to see the world in such a unique way." I took a more attentive look at her pics. "The way they capture the light shining in the small rain drops making them look like precious stones. She can do all this things so well! Why and what is she hiding?" I shook away my thoughts. "I need to get ready!" I said out loud. Going through her wardrobe kept making me imagine her in all these different outfit combinations. "Fuck how is it possible that she would look amazing I all of them?! I think I would drool of I ever saw her in a suit!" I ended up picking something simple but that I thought I looked good in. "I want her to think I look good but I don't to seem like I'm trying too hard." I rushed to the shower trying to be fast not only so the beautiful instructor wasn't waiting for too long but also because my mind kept conjuring images of the goddess showering and it was turning me on. When I was finally clean I got dressed suddenly realizing that not only was I smelling like her but I was also wearing her clothes. My stomach tied in knots as I called Iris. When the brunette entered the room she simply stood in place looking at me, which considering the state I was in, made me fidget. "What do you think?" I asked nervously slowly spinning around. The answer took a few seconds to come. "You look amazing!" I felt the heat  rushing to my face. "Thank you!" We stood in place looking at each other until my mind snapped back to reality. "She's still in her pj! She needs to get ready. Not that I mind what she's wearing or if she was wearing nothing at all, I would be fine with that too... Ugh get your shit together." "I should let you get ready!" Even tho I said that my body refused to move. I got startled by the girl's sudden words. "I almost forgot! One of my friends asked if it's alright for her to join us?" "One of her friends? I really hope it's not the girl from the other day. She seems into Iris and they seem close too.Will I be third wheeling? Whoever it is probably knows her a lot better then me! God just don't let it be that girl!" I relaxed my body noticing how I had stiffened. "Yeah sure!" I was hoping to sound genuine even I the idea wasn't the most appealing to me. "Are you sure? I can tell her we can do it some other day!" Her kindness made me smile. "Yeah I'm sure." For the next half an hour I barely talked my mind busy with thoughts of who it could be and desperately hoping against hope it wasn't the same girl from the other day. We had been sitting in the park bench for a few minutes when Iris name was called. I looked in the direction it came from. "Of course it had to be her!" I mumbled annoyed. When she reached us her eyes landed on me before traveling to the brunette beside me and back to me. "I have to admit she's gorgeous but still has nothing on Iris." "Hey bonita! Is this your friend?" "Bonita? Can you be any more obvious? Are they that close? Iris didn't say anything about it so she probably doesn't mind the nickname... Why did it have to be her?" "Hey Gabi! This is Samantha! Sam this is Gabriella!" I gave her a tight smile which she returned. "Nice to meet you!" I said trying to stay polite. "You too!" She said it in such a dismissive way clearly not caring if she was being rude. The instructor broke our staring contest. "Shall we go?" We both looked at her as she started to walk slowly. "Where do you girls want to go?" She tried again. I could tell she was getting uncomfortable. We both answered at the same time. "Shopping!" "Cinema!" Gabriella took no time to challenge my suggestion. "I don't think Iris is the type of girl that enjoys shopping." Her harsh words were accompanied by a heavy accent, distracting me for a second as I wondered why Iris barely had one. "I..." I interrupted wanting to give my two cents. "I wasn't aware you knew her that well!" I huffed, my annoyance showing clearly. Iris stopped, halting not only our fight but also our steps. Our focus converged on the girl. "What about an animal shelter? Cute animals and a bit of relaxation not to mention how good it feels to be loved unconditionally and giving them love back. It's just an idea."
"That's such an innocent and pure response! I can't believe how cute she is!" I shared a look with Gabriella making a silent agreement, we both nodded in confirmation. I was the first to speak. "That sounds great!" "I can't believe I let jealousy take over but Gabriella is intense. It's so obvious she's into Iris not that it's hard to understand but I still wish she wouldn't be so obvious! Ugh she definitely sees me as a rival. I don't think this is the last time we will clash." "I could use some cuteness." The caramel skinned girl stated smirking devilishly. As we left the park behind and made our way to the shelter I resigned to the idea the wasn't going to be the last time I felt jealous.
