Larissa's Pov

I woke up to a throbbing head and a dry as a drought throat. I looked around to see the rays of sun seeping inside my room through those greyish hanging curtains. It felt like the heat of the sun was sitting & chilling on my face, trying to wake me up from the drowsy state. I remembered faintly that Rel had come to my room in the morning saying she was leaving for college and I could join in later.
Normally, it would have been a happy morning, but in the state like that, with that pulping vein in my head I couldn't help but get up reluctantly, holding my head in my hand.
As I sat back up on the bed, I realised that I was wearing a shirt.
A guy's shirt.
When I looked down to that loose shirt and my strapless bra flashing through it, memories of the night before, marathoned back into my brain. I pressed hard to remember- when did someone drape it around.. But nothing clicked.
Liam's Girlfriend's party. My Dress. The Couples. That Pool. Beer. Calen.
Calen?
Gosh!
Calen..
And his face, that was observing me from close, appeared in front of my eyes.
Why was he looking at me like that?
Like what?
In that.. UnCalen way?
Why didn't he just go away? No body forced him to stay up close. But he did..
As I was wrapped around with Calen & his thoughts, a strong aroma of coffee, like a chemical to my every nerve cell, hit my head hard, urging me to step out of the room.
Gosh. I need this coffee.
I got up from my bed, freshen up, brushed my teeth and stepped out of the room, only to see Calen's back several feet away, standing in the kitchen.
My heart wiggled, and brain nudged me to get back inside, but ofcourse I kept on walking, because I couldn't control it.
He was in a soft grayish linen t-shirt and black loose shorts, his hands were gripping the edge of the kitchen's slab, flaunting his triceps to me. From behind, he seemed to be looking outside the big window.. lost in thoughts.
As if, he sensed my presence in the room, his posture changed and his shoulder blades flexed, but he didn't look back.
Well, I am not dying to see his beautiful sculpted face either.
Um.. What?
Yes. So what if he has got the gorgeous skin and those perfect pair of eyes?
Larissa.. Behave!
Taking a deep breath, I walked to the open kitchen as calmly as I could with my heart bouncing at its place.
Though I was getting weak on my knees and had a unsteady feet, but once I reached near him, I managed to utter a word or two.
"Um.. Good Morning" I spoke.
Good.. Maintain that calm
He moved to look straight at me, and hell my core jumped up from joy.
"Good Morning"
Those were his first nice words to me, since we've met.
I smiled, because I didn't know what else to do. I couldn't help if my eyes might be shining because of his voice.
But before I could embarass myself by constantly looking and showing him my teeth, the coffee machine beeped and he turned around.
I exhaled calmly while my eyes remained fixed on that cut on his tricep.
Boi. He works out good!
I looked out through the window in the mean time towards the beautiful garden spread ahead, and how a bird was sitting on the little space right in front of the window.
I heard the sound of coffee getting poured right then, and I wanted to ask a cup for myself as well - that was the whole point of coming out of the room in the first place. The coffee.
And I don't know how or maybe I was looking too desperate for that coffee that in the next instant he asked,
"Coffee?" by tilting his head just by an inch, and how, that my heart did a zumba.
"Sure, if you've made extra"
He didn't answer that, but poured one for me after grabbing a cup from the drawer on his right.
He came back holding coffee mugs in both of his hands.
"Could you grab that box of chips in that corner" he said showing me the shelf and walked towards the couch area right in front of the kitchen.
I opened the shelf door and saw multiple box of cookies, munchies and chips.
I grabbed the glassy container of chips and walked back to get my coffee from him.
I saw him settled on one of the two green couches facing the kitchen. He was taking a sip from his white coffee mug, sitting in the most relaxed and comfortable position, while his eyes were shut down to feel that first sip of coffee in the morning.
It made me smile.
I walked to the couch, and placed the chips container right in front of him on the wooden table and took place at the end of the same couch after grabbing my coffee.
I debated though, whether to take my coffee inside but thought that wouldn't look right.
Yeah, do you have any other excuse Larissa?
Shut up.
I held the mug of hot coffee in both of my hands, and took a very, very slow sip to feel and enjoy that first dose of caffeine. When finally, the coffee touched my tongue, it felt like it reached every cell of my body in seconds.
God!
"Liked it?" He asked
Did he see me savoring my first dose of caffeine?
I smiled, "You make amazing coffee. Gotta give you that"
"Oh really?"
"Mhmm" I took another sip of coffee, that finally managed to wake me up completely, soothening the headache I had a while ago.
He opened the box of chips on his remaining half filled cup of coffee, and to be honest it was weird to see him having chips with coffee.
He offered me some, but I refused.
He was munching when he said, "That's a nice shirt though"
It didn't register in my mind completely initially, but when I looked down, that's when I realized that I was still wearing the shirt from the night.
Damn!
I saw that the shirt was pushed above my thighs indecently, and how my black strapless bra was flashing from the inside.
I gave him a good show, didn't I?
"It's okay. I didn't see much" He said smilingly and picked some more chips out.
What?
Only if earth could swallow me whole at that time..
"Perv" I said as I had nothing else to say.
His smile faded for a second on hearing that and I felt his mood shifted instantly, but without looking up he spoke again. "That I am."

*****
Whoa!
Perv?

That's it babies.. Hope you liked it.
