He moved closer, his hands behind his back as I try to seem quite unbothered.
" I never wanted to be in the Medicine department. My dad forced me to since he is a Medical doctor", he said, and I could not help but stop on my track.
"I love observing plants and animals and wish to go into Biology. While my sister likes the medicine area, It gives me a headache sometimes with the chemical properties, blah, blah, blah all about medicine", he explained, his voice quite cold.
I looked up at him, not sure of what to say.
" You are supposed to make your decision all by yourself. Don't feel sad about it, your observing skills will be helpful in terms of the surgery aspect especially. As for the tutor, I will try my best in that area", I voiced out finally giving in to his request, as he stared at me, a smile on his face.
"Really? Thank you very much", he said almost pulling me into a hug, which I stopped as I offered a handshake which he accepted.
We continued talking, walking rather slowly as we finally made it out of the campus. We are about to cross to the other side of the road when heaven broke loose and it started drizzling.
I gasped, as I moved swiftly but was stopped by Joseph.
" It is drizzling. My hostel is just a stone's throw from here. Let me take you there", he explained as I removed his hand, and darted across the road, as he followed behind. It started raining heavily as I glanced slightly to see where I can stay for the time being.
It was obvious that Joseph was getting impatient as he pulled me and started running. I tried to remove my hand but as the eyes of people darted our way, I followed Joseph, boiling angrily with my damp clothes all wet.
We made our way through the street as we entered a self-contained apartment. Joseph removed his keys as he was dripping with water. I felt cold, as I started trembling. I wonder if I would have made it to my hostel which was close to a 15 minutes trek outside the school gate. Compared to Joseph building which was only about 3minutes with the running.
We finally made our way inside, as warmth welcomed me. Being soaked by the rain, l could not help but feel cold even inside the warm room. My clothes were dripping wet as I stood still, feeling cold. My eyes scanned the room only to gaze at Joseph, who was now shirtless, only putting on boxers.
I turned my eyes away from him, as the imagination of how lined his abs flashed in my mind. My face flushed instantly.
"Will you just keep standing there? Will you take off your clothes, or keep stuck in that cold wear", Joseph's husky voice sounded, jolting me out of my little fantasy world, which I regretted ever thinking of.
I remained in the same position, bowing my head a little, as I couldn't remove my clothes nor dress in front of him. I moved to his side, prompting him to look up only to be caught in a trance. I gazed at Joseph as I could not help but get lost again.
The mesmerizing look completely took me off my feet. His rosy-red cheeks, pink lips, and the type of eyes one can simply get lost in.
I kept staring at him, as my eyes caught his well-lined abs, his tall and well-built body. Even with the coldness in my body, I wished to touch his body.
" Would you like to touch it?" Joseph's questions shook me out of his reverie as his face reddened. I felt Joseph's soft hand on my right hand nudging me to fulfill my imagination, as my hand started moving towards Joseph's body.
My hand stopped as I touched Joseph's chest which brought a spark to my body. I was about to make another move when I stopped myself. This is wrong', I told myself
Even if he has the most well-carved face, a set of eyes one can get lost in coupled with his tall and muscular body that can send one drooling, I cannot fall for him, to the extent of fulfilling my sexual attraction cravings.
"I need a towel for me to change", I requested which prompted him to zone out of his thoughts, as he looked rather uncomposed.

He made his way to his wardrobe as he brought out a set of clothes for me.
" They are new. Consider it as a gift from me", he said putting the clothes in my hand.
I entered the bathroom which was sparkling clean, along with the arranged set of toiletries. I changed into the clothes which fitted me. A pair of trousers and a blue round neck. I stared at the mirror in his good renovated bathroom as the clothes look new on me. I hang my wet clothes on the hangers in his bathroom.
Forcing Myself not to feel guilty, I made my way out as I saw him preparing hot tea. He is sure good at something else. I just hope I won't get kidnapped and I have not even texted Chris, another great offense. I went straight to my slightly wet bag outside as I brought out my phone texting Chris by informing him of where and who I was with.
I turned as Joseph stretched a tray of two cups of hot tea.
"Take a drink, it will help", he sounded reassuring.

As much as I don't want to trust him, I took the cup by the left, as I sipped it gently savoring a new taste.
" It is a brand of tea my mum got from the United States. It helps especially in calming the nerves", he explained which I nodded to moving to the side of the bed.
"Thank you", I replied gently looking outside the window which shows the rain was still falling quite much.
" You are welcome. You can stay here overnight. I don't think the rain will stop anytime soon", Joseph started as I turned to face him.
"I can't. We barely know each other and my roommate will be worried, coupled with the fact that it is only 3:30 pm. I will go home, as I don't want to bother you", I spoke out, as he moved towards me, sitting beside me making me squirm inwardly.
I stared at the cup of tea in my hand, not looking at him.
" You are sure good at breaking hearts. Anyways, I haven't done anything for you. You are the one who wants to help me. I should be the one saying thank you", Joseph said, as I let out a smile, not sure of what to do again.
"How was my cousin like?", he raised his voice a little so that I can hear. The rain kept hitting the roof making some noise.
I breathe in and out trying not to remember everything that transpired between us. The deep attraction I had for him, and how I almost confessed to him.
" Your cousin is a sassy fellow and you shared quite a lot of characteristics with him", I responded, not wanting to go into details about him.
"Ha! You sure hate both of us. I will inform him when I give him a call", he said, as I snickered.
" I will like to take a nap", he said, his eyes on me as if looking for approval.
"Sure, go on", I replied, sipping more of the tea.
" I hope you won't kill me as soon as I fall asleep", he stated, as I almost choked on the tea I was drinking.
I glared at him, as he stood up laughing, moving to the other side of the bed. He is sure a maniac. If I wanted to kill him, I would have pushed him into an oncoming vehicle on our way coming. I can't even do that", I chastise myself, finally drinking the remnant of the tea.
I heard soft snores minutes later as I turned to see Joseph, who was sleeping soundly, his face looking more handsome.
Trying to stop myself from fantasizing about this person that reminds me of Ethan, I rested my head on the rim of the bed, feeling rather sleepy.
In no time, I fell into DREAMWORLD
