THIS was the first time she got out with a guy.
Sure, she had dated guys in the past but they never asked her to go out with them and it’s not that she was complaining because if they did ask her on a date she’ll probably gonna ditch on them.
As all of them are pretty boring and a living red flag.
That left her wondering how in the world she gave them a chance though, they don’t know how to treat a girl right.
It’s not that she cared about them now anyway, her three past relationship wasn’t even that long. She broke up with them after she figured they are not suitable for her taste.
Those boys she dated are a piece of shits, they just courted her so there’s something to brag and after all, she’s just a display in their life which also does goes the same to hers as well.
They are not even her type, like Eiassey, her types are soft boys because she always imagined how cute it was to baby someone like them—and that’s because she often watches anime and reads manhwa.
She would be such a dumbass if she won’t woo Aeschylus, it’s him—her type and if she let him go she’ll definitely cursed herself to bits.
That cutie is definitely who I’ll gonna marry, she smiled with what her thoughts are taking her as she headed to the Nase residence.
When she finally got in front of their house, she saw Aeschylus already coming outside which made her grin as he approached her.
“Hey.” She held his chin and wiped away his bangs to give him a chaste kiss on the forehead, she visibly saw how his flushed face made way to his features that made her laugh a little. “Let’s go?”
Aeschylus examined her, Hussey was wearing a jade colored crop top paired with ribbon high waist short and a white high cut shoes.
“Y-You’re very lovely, H-Hussey.” He pinched his fingers after he stuttered his compliment for her.
Hussey grinned wider than usual. “You’re damn fine too,” she praised while she travelled her eyes to his face then to his clothes.
He was wearing a white tee and black leather jeans with graffiti low cut shoes.
“Hop on, Sky.”
After he was settled behind her, she brought his hands to her waist. “Hold on tight.” This time, she let his hands go after sensing he’ll not take it off her.
While the wind swayed their hair, her nose caught the familiar scent of Aeschylus which she dearly loves the most. Geez, I’ll never get mentally prepared if I kept getting a whiff of his scent.
The two teenagers arrived to the movie theatre after ten minutes of driving.
Hussey smiled softly as she intertwined their hands as soon as he got closer and stood right next to her Hussey started to feel nausea.
There was an unpleasant fragrance coming from him. What’s this? Is he nervous around me? What is this stench smell?
She shook her head to rub away her thoughts and dragged him inside. But the smell was getting in her head, focusing one hundred percent of her sense of smell on that stench it’s originated from him.
It truly did come from Aeschylus, just what’s bugging his mind to give off that kind of smell?
“Are you okay?” He noticed her creased forehead and she blanched.
“Yeah,” she replied, shifting her attention back to him. Hussey mustered her grin for him. “I’ll buy us tickets.”
Aeschylus nodded. “I’ll buy us drinks and popcorns.”
Hussey quickly bought their tickets so they can enjoy the movie right away.
The young woman chortled when she saw Aeschylus carrying so many skinnypop. “Well, that’s a lot of popcorns.” She helped him carry half of it.
“I love skinnypop.” Hussey’s brows bended down, she showed her genuine smile while she watched him heartily ate his skinnypop.
The whole time inside, Aeschylus never missed how she flinched lightly and how she tried to look away from the giant screen when the scene was zooming towards the bizarre creatures’ face.
It’s not that she’s scared or anything—she’s used to seeing gory things in real life and can even handle man-made or imaginative supernatural creatures like the film they’re watching.
It was the suspense sound that was making her edgy.
Seeing her unusual body gesture made Aeschylus fret. Perhaps the movie was scary enough to disturb her and activate imaginary things in her mind? He thought.
But then he recalled she was enthusiastic to seeing the movie with him.
Aeschylus watched her slightly trembling hands and breathing in distressed.
Instinctively, he placed his hand on top of her hand.
Hussey were startled by the kind warmth that enveloped her hand so she glanced at him, she saw Aeschylus smiling at her.
“You can hold my hand if you’re getting nervous.”
Ashamed but relieved, she hurriedly interlaced their fingers together. Holding his hand was a great suggestion.
He can tell her nervousness in her gradually faded as she was aware she wasn’t alone while watching the movie.
Sweat trickled down her face but Hussey was more calm than earlier. She tightened her grip on him, seeking for comfort and reassurance.
While he hummed in response which she appreciated a lot.
Hmm, he no longer carries that stench. Maybe I was just imagining the smell earlier. All I could smell from him is his sweet vanilla scent. It really helps me to calm down, she gulped the lump in her throat before leaning closer to him.
Which made him taken aback by the unexpected closeness.
Hussey buried her head deep in his neck, inhaling his sweet scent.
His face became red as tomato as her breath brushed against his skin. “W-Wait, H-H-Hussey?!” he whispered her name half-yell confusedly.
The lassie was too absorbed in enjoying his fragrance.
She nuzzled her nose to his collarbone. “Sky, do you know you have such a nice smell?”
“H-Huh?”
“Ever since I met you, you usually smell like vanilla. Sometimes it changes to rosewood or androstenol which is very attractive. I wonder why your scent keep changing…” She sniffled him more.
“Eh?”
“I once got a whiff of your spring scent, you know? You smell like flowers from spring once and I never smelled it again after. I love your scent the best out of everyone I met, Aeschylus.”
“M-My . . . scent?”
Her orbs dilated in horror upon realizing what she had done to herself, rambling her thoughts about him.
She lifted her head, panicking as the both of them locked eyes.
Aeschylus was very red after listening to her confession.
“W-Well, forget everything I just spat out.” Shit, shit, shit. I exposed my obsession about him! Now he knows how much I pay attention to his scent!
Let alone clearing the misunderstanding, she didn’t even get the chance to see his flustered face out of embarrassment. What will he think about me now? That I’m head over heels with him that much? Obsessed bitch? No! It’s so embarrassing, why did I do this to myself?!
As she cursed herself with her dilemma, Aeschylus suddenly cupped her cheeks and looked dead into her eyes, so deep that she felt like he was looking through her soul.
“I want you to be honest with me, Hussey… But, what do you mean by… you loving my scent the best?”
It felt like her blood just gushed out of her nose after what he just questioned her.
Plus, his low voice when he asked her wasn’t helping her heart calm down!
He sounded solemn—he normally talked in his soft, bubbly tone but as of now his husky voice was filled with seriousness, demanding an honest answer from her.
“U-Uhm . . . I-I . . . I—” Fucking idiot! Why did I say all of those shameful things? My love for him was so obvious! Sounds like I just confessed to him without even trying!
Hussey mentally slapped her face to at least have some common sense.
She just stopped cursing herself in her mind when Aeschylus grabbed both of her hands. “Hussey, please answer.”
I planned to confess my feelings for her while I’m home, I thought it would turn out bad but I think she’s trying to confess her feelings for me, right?
“Sky, it’s obvious that I like you romantically but what I said is supposed to be mine alone!” she whined.
“E-Eh?” Aeschylus didn’t seem to predict that kind of answer coming from her.
His shocked expression made her a little upset, she doesn’t know if it was a bad thing or not. “I like you for some time now, there, I told you the truth so you can let me go now—”
The lassie was about to request him to release her from his tight hold due to embarrassment but what he did next stupefied her.
Before realization struck her, she felt a pair of soft lips merged with hers.
