I woke up to a phone call again.

“Hello?”

I mumbled down the phone and snuggled deeper into the sheets.

“Hey, is this Key?”

“Mm. Yeah. It’s Key speaking.”

5 seconds after saying that, though,

I shot up from my bed in shock.

I recognize your voice.

It’s you.

“Oh, hey. Uhh.. when will you be free to meet up?”

Meet up?

Meet up as in go out?

I didn’t try to contain my smile as I answered,

“How about tonight?”

I heard him grin over the phone.

“Come over for dinner? I’ll cook.”

I haven’t cooked in a long while and I want to cook for you.

“Okay. Text me your address and I’ll see you tonight.”

I texted you the address before realizing something-

If you came over for dinner and I cook for you,

Then that means that I have to eat, right?

“.”

Was all I managed to say as I tried to call you back,

Wanting to change our plans.

You didn’t pick up, though.

I guess I’ll just have to go through with this.

I heard the doorbell ring and rushed to open it.

I rushed back into the kitchen as soon as I let you in.

I continue cooking and feel your arms wrap around my waist,

And you peeking over my shoulder.

I feel myself smile and I know that I’m doomed.

I love this feeling of being in your arms too much.

Don’t break down my walls,

Even though I want you to.

No matter how safe you make me feel,

Being alone is still the safest route.

Nobody can hurt me when I don’t let them in, right?

“You got me afraid to let my love go,

Is it my heart that I should follow?

Got me afraid to let my heart go,

Got me afraid of you.”

I set the food on the counter and watch

As you get up on the stool and dig in.

I play around with the little amount of food on my plate

And pretend to be eating,

But I’m really not.

“What’s wrong?

Aren’t you hungry?”

You ask.

I shake my head and smile.

Your eyes look so much like a puppy’s eyes right now,

Do you know that?

I clear away my food, untouched,

And pile more food onto your plate.

You smile and I imagine your tail wagging.

You finish your food and I do the dishes.

You’re behind me again,

Your arms around my waist.

Do you know how good you make me feel right now?

If only I’m perfect,

If only I’m better,

Cause you deserve so much more.

A part of me still can’t help but hope that maybe,

I’d be enough.

You plant gentle kisses down my neck.

Do you know that I’m getting more and more wrapped up in you?

Do you know what you’re doing to me?

I try to keep my walls up,

But I feel them crumbling down all the same.

I’m desperately clinging onto the darkness

But I find that now,

I’m clinging onto you instead.

As soon as I’m done with the dishes,

You pick me up bridal style and carry me into the living room.

This is definitely that first time

That I have cuddled on the couch with a guy

That I’ve only met yesterday.

It’s okay,

It feels right.

You feel so right.

Now let’s just hope that you won’t hurt me,

Cause I’m pretty sure I’ve already let you in.

I’m in way too deep,

Way too far,

But I like it.

I’m drowning,

Not breathing,

But I like it.

I just hope that I don’t die.

A/N :

Okay I feel like this story is getting really slow paced ._.

Oh well. The exciting parts are coming up soon :D

Right.

So the song for this chapter is 'Scared' by Ashanti.

I don't particularly like the song,

But I felt like it fitted.. 

so I used it :D

Lol.
