The next morning , Lucy woke up with a lot of positive and good vibes around her . A slight smile appeared on her face as she stretched herself with in her sheets . On opening the bed , she saw herself wearing his shirt , between her legs she was sore and still a it wet . Having no clear memory of last night she didn't know what she had done. Trying to recall ,her nose is met with the scent of bacon and eggs in the morning. She rushed to the kitchen to see who it was , deeply she prayed that it was a random hook up but to her surprise it was Aston , she felt lightheaded and as she stood in the door was to the kitchen that's when he also noticed her . The both of them not knowing what to do in this situation just stared at each other for a while
"I made bacon and eggs just how you like them ." He said trying to reduce the tension in the room . Oh ,thanks
"Let me put them on the table if that's ok ."
Yah it's am fine , Lucy gathered up the courage and said ." I know this is really awkward for the both of us but am sorry for last night we can pretend like nothing happened."
He looked at her for a while not being able to listen fully to what she was saying but in hearing let's pretend like nothing happened he couldn't help but laugh at her .
It's ok if that will make you feel comfortable then yes but you can keep the shirt seems you like it to . Her face turned red hot on hearing what he what he said . As for him he said to himself, I can't seem to take my eyes off you, then how do you expect me to forget what happened between me and my good girl . With these hearts having different requests, they resumed their daily routines. Lucy kept the shirt and as much as she hated him so much , she still loved him even more and she found it difficult to upright accept it instead she casually wore his shirt to feel his presence. The week was soon coming to an end and the two hadn't seen much of themselves accept in the morning and some few nights when the bumped into one another.
One night as Aston was walked home by a fellow co worker, she wasn't any ordinary co worker. She had been around Aston like a hawk and she did everything to please him hoping that he would finally fall for her . She had tried several times to catch his attention but failed to catch his heart and this time as she walked him to his apartment, she hoped that the two would spend the night together however as she was stalling time at his door , Lucy also happened to be returning from her late night shift . On catching sight of her , the co worker push herself into Aston's hands and forced him to kissing her . As she had planned , Lucy saw the two though she acted like she didn't care this entering her apartment quickly. Aston didn't know what all that was about but after pushing her away he said
Oh Claire ! ,I don't feel the same way about you am sorry . Claire's face turned red in rage and embarrassment as she asked him . Is their someone that your seeing ?
He looked at her and answered ." I am not seeing anyone but my heart already belongs to someone else ". The embarrassed Claire stormed out of the building. Meanwhile, Lucy who had seen everything and was also fatigued from the days worked took an immediate shower , as she dressed up she didn't seem to desire her pajamas, she held his shirt and pressed it to her nose , the shirt still smelled like him . She slowly lay on her bed and dressed herself in the large shirt.
While she slept , she heard a knock at her door . on opening it was Aston holding a bowl of dry cereal and a box of milk . she stared at him with her face red and flustered what was he doing here more over when am wearing his shirt.
"May i come in ?"he asked . What part of no crossing paths didn't he understand but he used my only weakest , she said thinking to herself then she stepped out of the doorway for him to enter. "Any appetite for some sugary treats." He asked " if I wasn't then I wouldn't have let you in " "Don't be all salty baby girl " Lucy's face turned blush red after he called her that , she puffed her lips " don't call me that " he knew she liked it and it was also his way of teasing her . Aston walked to the kitchen, got some bowls and mixed various flavors of cereal, Lucy peeps by the wall as Aston made for her the cereal , " You know I can see you ," she hid herself behind the wall . Why am I acting like this , it's just cereal and it's just Aston making for me my favorite cereal so why is my stomach bubbling like this , maybe am getting ulcers . It's just cereal, it's just cereal she said to herself even if her heart has a different say .
A few minutes later, Aston walks out of the kitchen with two colourless big cereal bowls , Lucy was seated cross legged in the couch with her laptop between her legs ,
"What are you doing?" He asked ,
"Work" she said forcefully
"Is that how you treat your guests."
" The uninvited ones ."
Aston chuckled and said " I just wanted to see you , is that my fault."
"Apparently am not your eyes so yes it's your fault."
"Come on , am sure you can do this all tomorrow please eat and watch with me ." He pleaded as he closed her laptop
With much persistence, Lucy just let him have his way . As long as she was eating his cereal,she could tolerate him .
The two watched a movie together, as they were watching, Lucy asked to finish Aston's cereal.
" Is it really that nice "
"It wasn't that bad ." She said not wanting to praise his work . " If you say it was nice I may consider giving you mind . "
" Fine , your cereal was really tasty, may I have some more . " "Close" he said giving her his bowl as she picked it from him , he pulled her close to him for a hug . Lucy covered her head with her hands ." You taste better than my cereal."
" Please don't say that " , "And you look better in my shirt . " " I'll return it . " " Don't, just keep it. " Aston refused to let Lucy go so she sat between his legs as she ate his cereal. A few cuddles later , Aston says his good night and the two rest well in the cold night
