EVE'S POV

It was a hot Saturday afternoon. Exactly two weeks after my almost stripping moment occurred. I was drowned in a peaceful slumber when I heard a knock on my door. I groaned, hoping it wasn't Emma. I sluggishly walked to the door.

"Emma, it's the only afternoon I have. Can't I..." I opened the door and it wasn't Emma. I looked away, embarrassed. It was Nathan...

"I'm sorry if I woke you up." He smiled as my cheeked heated up because of how messy my hair was.

Is that smile perfect or it's just me?

"No, no. You didn't." I quickly pat my hair down with my sweaty palms.

What am I even saying? He did wake me up!

"Okay... I promised to visit so here I am." He scratched the back of his head.

"Come in." I ushered him into my room. "Sorry for the untidiness." I said, picking up one or two things from the floor.

"It's fine." He laughed softly. "How have you been?" We sat on the small couch as he spoke.

"Good. How have you been?" I asked back plainly, not knowing what to say.

"Well, I've been good too." That smile shows up again... "Since I'm here, why don't you tell me more about yourself? I'd like to know." He stated, waiting for me to speak up.

"Okay. I'm Eve. Eve Rogers. I study Business. My birthday is in two weeks, October 22. I have a brother and sister, both younger. I'm a music lover and..." I stopped to look at him and he was staring at me. "Are you listening?" I asked him, unsure if he was or not.

"Uh...yeah, I am." He ran his fingers through his light brown hair.

He was lying...

"What did I say then?" I asked him, wanting to know whether he was saying the truth.

"You uh... you said you uh..." He scratches his head in embarrassment, I've noticed. I simply sighed and looked away.

Why am I even noticing things about him?

"You weren't listening." I said, slightly disappointed.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't keep my eyes off you. How are you even this beautiful?" His words sounded so pure. My cheeks were red and hot at this moment.

Wait... Am I still asleep and dreaming?

"Uh... I don't know." I looked away from him, hiding my cheeks in my palms, without him noticing.

"Wow! I think you should tell me everything again and I'll try to focus this time." I laughed and repeated all I had said before. "Nice. It's my turn now." He told me about himself as well.

He's a well-paid artist. A college graduate. He actually doesn't live far from my campus. Family is in Ohio...

I smiled and said, "That's nice."

"You could say." Silence then stood boldly between us. "I should get going." He stood up and I did too.

"Okay..." I escorted him to the door. I stood at my door while he stood opposite me, on the corridor. "It was nice knowing you." I said oddly.

"You too. I'd surely come again soon." He assured me. Staring into my eyes, he pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear and I hoped I wasn't blushing.

"Okay, I'll be expecting you." I was grinning from ear to ear. I could feel it!

"I'll see you later, beautiful." He smirked and I smiled.

"Bye."

I closed the door and finally let the butterflies in my stomach take control. I collapsed on my bed, smiling. I haven't felt happiness in a while but I can tell you it feels good, I promise.
