Fate Intervened

Pure Humbleness

MIKE

I know that I need to get out of here but I do not want to do it as abruptly as I did it the other day. I want to make my exit as normal as possible. But this beauty of a woman has asked me if I am doing okay and I am not but I can not let her know that.

Then an idea spring to mind. I decide to act as if my phone is ringing and I need to answer it. So, I pat down my jacket with my hand and lift my finger in the air as if to say that she needs to stop talking and that I need to excuse myself. I take my phone out in front of them and put it to my ear while I walk out of the kitchen.

Luckily for me, it seems as if everyone understands my hand gestures. They all stay in the kitchen and I can walk out of the front door with my fake phone call. I walk as fast as I can to my car and sit inside it.

I open my glove compartment and quickly swallow two pills. I do not want to stay out in my car for too long as they would start to suspect something.

AMY

Something is going on with this man. I don't know exactly what it is but he just acts so awkwardly around me. I love every minute that I spend with him. He really didn't look so well but I guess it might just be the doctor in me and I probably just imagined it.

I can not stop myself from following him to the living room and then looking out of the window to see if he is okay. I know that he is on the phone but then when I see him in the car the phone is not next to his ear. That is strange he must have finished his call already.

I feel like a teenage girl spying on her crush. I can not believe that I am acting this way. I shake my head and then go back to the kitchen, only to be greeted by two men with questions in their eyes. I know what they want but I am not going to give them answers now.

"So, do you know Mr. Sanders?"

Of course, it is my brother who doesn't have one hair of shame on his head that asked the first question.

"Let me just stop you right there. I am not answering anything until Mike has left and don't even think of asking me while he is here"

They still want to ask more questions but I just lift my hand and look the other way. At least my family knows when I am serious and that they should not poke the bear. We then continued to sit in silence and finish our breakfast.

It's been a while and it doesn't look like Mike would come back. So, I stand up and walk to the living room. Just then the front door opens and I am so glad to see Mike coming back again.

MIKE

I'm sitting in the car trying to calm my heart down and hoping that the pills will work fast. I close my eyes and try to relax. I really do not want to disappoint myself again by not spending a bit of time with her.

The short amount of time that we spoke was more meaningful than any other company that I have kept with anyone before. I really want to get to know this woman and find out if there can be something for us.

I feel my pulse again and I can feel it slowing down. I can not help the smile that is forming on my face because I know that now I can be in her presence without running away. I did not expect her to be in this house so I knew I didn't have to drink my pills.

What a surprise it was when I came to see Brandon and here I find the beautiful Amy. I take a deep breath and slowly walk towards the front door. I open the door and there she stands in the living room.

It is like everything happens in slow motion when I see you again. Her long locks of brown hair just softly lie over her shoulders. Her light green eyes just staring deep into my soul. I can not help being captivated by this exquisite woman.

"I am sorry that I took so long. The guy just couldn't say goodbye"

"Oh, that is quite alright"

"You must know... I didn't know that you stayed here..."

AMY

I study his face as he says that he didn't know that I stayed here and I realized that he's being very serious. But there is something else that I see in his eyes as well and it is pure humbleness. I have not met a lot of humble men in my life before and god knows my ex-boyfriends didn't have a humble hair on their heads.

I think that is one of the things that is pulling me towards him. Of course, his looks are something out of a fairy tale but that is not the thing that attracts me so. When he speaks to me it is with the utmost respect and I guess I have that respect missing in my life.

"Oh, I know...I know, you were only here for Brandon. How could you have possibly known that I stay here anyway?"

Then he smiles as if he is relieved by my answer. That smile can melt the toughest metal. I feel my heart starting to race as I realized it is only the two of us in the living room.

"That is good…very good. I just needed you to know that"

MIKE

Suddenly, I realized that I have just burst into this house unannounced, in the morning, while they are busy eating breakfast. They are probably in the middle of some kind of family time. So, I started to walk towards the front door again.

"I am sorry I did not know that I interrupted a family breakfast. It was really rude of me to do that. I am going to go now and let you guys have some family time. Once again I'm really sorry"

"NO! Wait!"

AMY

I feel like a complete i***t with the words that just came out of my mouth without any warning. I can not believe that I have just shouted "no" to him to not go out the door. I am watching him turn around and look at me with questions in his eyes. I feel so embarrassed as a deep red color starts to fill my cheeks.

I tried to avoid his eyes looking down at the floor and then I just continue making a fool of myself.

"That's...That's not what I meant...I mean...oh god, I am so sorry...I was going to say...dammit!"

MIKE

I can not help the smile that is creeping up on my face. I am enjoying every second of this exquisite creature, fumbling over her words right in front of me. I tried to stop smiling but I can not help it as whatever attraction I felt for her before, now only grow stronger. I want to touch her so badly and hold her tight against my chest as this is probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done in my presence.

Then I act as if I do not understand what she is trying to say.

"What did you mean?"

I hear her take a deep breath and then she looks straight into my eyes. Suddenly, I feel my knees weakening at her, staring straight into my soul.

"What I was going to say is, you don't have to leave, you are not interrupting anything"

"That is very nice of you to say but I can not help feeling like I might be intruding"

Everything within me wants to stay next to this beautiful woman but I know that she does not stay here, she stays in the city. So, this must be her last day here and I might be interrupting her family time.

But then I see her walking one step closer to me still not losing her gaze. I know that I drank my pills but I can not help my heart starting to race again. Her stare alone makes me feel like putty in her hands but then my nose gets a whiff of her scent and my entire being is hers.

AMY

I feel as my body starts to walk towards him and I can not control any of my actions. Then I hear these words escaping my mouth and I do not know who this woman is.

"Trust me, you are definitely not intruding"

I just stand and stare into his eyes blue eyes for a little while, feeling myself moving even closer to his unforgettable face. Then suddenly it is as if I realize what I am doing and I start to move backward. I force myself to get out of that room. But as I turn around to run for my life, I bump into my brother.

"Oh good, you have returned? We Almost thought you left without saying goodbye"

MIKE

I listen as Amy says those daring words to me and it is as if a current runs through my body straight to my desire for her. She stands so close to me that I can almost hear her breathing. I feel myself even moving closer to her.

I look at her lips and then back to her eyes. Her rosy soft lips taunt me to kiss them as sweet honey seduce my senses. I feel my eyes drawing close but then suddenly she pulls back.

I staggered forward as I almost fall off balance with the sudden removal of the trance she put me under. I watch her walking away and it reminds me of myself when I ran out of her presence. But then her brother walked into the room and she runs straight into him.

I feel a sudden blush creeping up to my cheeks and I answer her brother as politely as possible.

"Yes, I was just telling your sister goodbye as I really need to get back to my grandpa"

I put my hands in my pocket while lifting my pants a little bit hoping that Brandon does not see my arousal for his indescribable elegant sister. I watch as she avoids my eye contact and just stares at the floor. I hope that I have not scared her off but I think it is better that I leave her be.

"Well, thank you, for coming by and please come again when you are in town"

"Thank you, I will most definitely do that, and thanks again for looking after my grandpa"

When I said, "I will come by again" I looked at her so that she can know that I am very serious to see her again. She is still avoiding my eyes but I know that she heard every word that I said. I am most definitely not leaving without letting her know that I will come again.

I turn around and make my way back to the car but just before I open the door I turn around and look back at the house through the window. And to my surprise there she stands, looking at me.

I open my mouth just a little bit while gazing deep into her eyes. I want her to know that I want her.

AMY

I know that my brother is in the room but I still can not control my actions. I can not believe that I was so shy and did not act as an independent hard-working woman. I avoided his eye contact completely and acted like a nine-year-old.

I walk to the window and I can not stop myself just staring after him. But then I watch as he turns around and sees me watching him. I want to run away but I know if I do that, I am just going to make a bigger fool of myself.

So, I decided to scrape together, all my courage and keep on watching him. But when he opens his mouth and plays with his tongue on his teeth and then my desire for him turns to need.
