Chapter 7

• Josh's POV
• Jake, Jason and Vash was busy playing on the gaming console and usually, I would be playing along with them but I'm not feeling any good lately.
• My whole system is so confused right now.
• Ever since we moved her in Samantha's house, I have never been the same as I was before.
• In normal circumstances, I will be the one messing around with the guys because that's just what I am.
• Haiden will always lock his arms around my neck every chance that he got because I keep on troubling him while resting.
• I would always run around with Haiden singing along with him to wake up the guys.
• I don't know. Lately, I feel like staying at the corner and watch everything that is happening around me.
• What's wrong with me?
• I woke up too early the other day so I decided to go out and have a good run but as went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water for me to bring, I saw Samantha walking ahead of me.
• I should have avoided her as I know that I'm making her feel uncomfortable but I can't help myself.
• She's wearing a loose shirt that is just above her knees. I've notice how she has a knack of wearing boyish clothes which makes her even look sexier.
• She may be small and petite but I'm sure under those loose clothes is a killer body. I can still make out the curves that she's trying to cover.
• I noticed that she's having a hard time opening the refrigerator so I helped her.
• I remember suppressing my laughter once I realized that I've startled her. She's so cute.
• After drinking almost half of the content of the bottle, she suddenly slid her body down the floor and just sat over there.
• Her brown eyes are slightly being covered by her disheveled hair yet it is too captivating that I can't keep my own eyes off her. She seems to be so tired and I don't have the heart to disturb her.
• I can't help but smile every time I remember the conversation that we had that night. I'm sure she's almost half asleep because that's the first time she did not scowl at me. I even remember her saying how she love my smile. She kept on mumbling over something until she fell asleep.
• Afraid that she would be uncomfortable with her position, I decided to pick her up bridal style and carefully put her to bed. It's a good thing that she left her door open.
• After I covered her body with a blanket, I immediately went out of her room but my plan of getting a good run was long forgotten after that.
• I suddenly felt someone sit beside me but I did not break my eye contact on the screen where the other guys were playing.
• "You seem out of yourself lately. Any problem?" Sometimes I hate it that our leader is so observant. He always notices if something may not seem s to be right. He’s probably younger but his soul is older, I guess.
• I may be older but I guess, i was just born earlier.
• I stretched my arm while a small yawn came out of my mouth, I'm having a hard time sleeping as well lately. I put down my arms and answered while still watching the game. "Just need more sleep, I guess."
• I can't tell him that I'm being bothered by Samantha. As far as I know, she is someone that is working in the company. We don't even know what she does or how old she is.
• Though I'm dying out of curiosity, I can't just go and ask her about it because everything I do pisses her off. It's sad to admit but we started on a wrong foot.
• God knows how I really want to know her well and be closer to her but everything I do makes her even mad. Besides, I can't lose focus right now. After all the things that our group has been to, any distractions would bring a burden.
• Just then, I heard the front door opened and I saw Samantha coming in. I sit properly but my eyes can't stop following her movement.
• I held my breath as I saw her smile when she looked at our direction.
• Beautiful.
• "What?"
• I coughed a little when Rome asked me. I must have spoken what's on my mind. I mentally scolded myself.
• She's wearing an over-sized blue plaid shirt and a fitted black pants which was torn in the knees. Her hair was up on a pony tail but some loose strands fell down on her face.
• God, she gets prettier every day.
• Vash and Jason ran over her and immediately ransacked the groceries that she brought. I chuckled at the sight of Jason getting kicked out by Vash who immediately ran back to their game after he got some jelly.
• My eyes followed her as she went to the kitchen sink and washed two apples. I moved my eyes back to the what they are playing when I noticed her coming to us.
• Yohan and Haiden then came to the kitchen and started arranging all the groceries that she bought.
• My eyes furrowed when she passed the other apple to Jake while the other naturally took a bite.
• Why does it feel like they're used to this kind of thing? I clenched my fist. And why are you bothered by the way? I thought to myself.
• Everything about the two was weird. I heard Yohan telling us once that Samantha was Jake's stalker. Well, I don't buy it.
• She must have felt someone staring at her because she looked at my direction. I immediately moved my eyes back to where the other two where who seems to be fighting over something in the kitchen.
• Why do you have to stare? I asked myself. Idiot.
• She sat beside me. When I looked at her, my throat got dry and a cough escape from my mouth. She's smiling at me.
• I swear to God this girl is trouble.
