TALULAH
yeah okay I'm coming

I shove my phone into the pocket of my jeans before unlocking the front door. I step outside and onto the path along the street, my eyes trying to find a tall man.

I stand with my arms crossed and even though, I can barely see from a long distance. I spot my boyfriend come into view. He turns the corner and the smooth strides he takes reminds me of the first time I saw him. Who knew we would end up together? Crazy.

Skinny jeans, a stone coloured, baggy low neck jumper is what fits his frame and he looks cuddly and hot at the same time. His straight, shiny bangs fall on his forehead, the boldness of the colour gold standing out from his hair and eyes. I shift on the spot and hate that I feel nervous but delighted to spend time with him.

Taehyung makes his way over to me and immediately, his height intimidates me which makes me frown. "Why do you keep growing taller?" I whine.

He lifts up his hand with a cheeky smile on his face. His cheeks rise and he looks adorable. Taehyung waits for me to give him a high five so I do, completely baffled.

"Let's go shortie. We have cleaning to do, don't we?"

—

I wish I hadn't noticed the necklace around my boyfriends neck, because then I wouldn't have noticed how low his jumper is, showing off his prominent collarbones- beautifully golden with the plated accessory hitting against his skin. I wouldn't have noticed how broad his shoulders actually are. I scream internally, wanting to hit myself because he caught me staring so I walked out the room.

How to avoid a situation according to Talulah: walk away.

Or run ... but who has the energy?

I'm hoovering the living room, frowning at the amount of mess I've created over the last few months. Taehyung busies himself by retrieving the clothes from outside, that I hung to dry.

"Nice underwear." He lets me know, snickering as he walks into the room with a proud look on his face. He's wearing a pair of my underwear on his head and I immediately snatch it off his glorious bangs.

"Taehyung!"

"Talulah!"

I take the basket away from him, still hearing his contagious laughter and I run upstairs to put away my clothes. Half of the house is cleaned thanks to my boyfriends help, all that is left to do is the mirrors.

I arrive back downstairs, placing the basket in the kitchen before taking out a cloth to wipe the dusty mirrors. I make my way to the living room again to find Taehyung and he's lying on the couch- worn out.

I creep out the room, smiling a little- not wanting to trouble him because he's helped out a lot which I'm grateful for. He wiped table tops, hoovered, helped to change the bed covers etc. He deserves more than just a thank you.

That amusing, amiable boy with big brown eyes and a face that seems to be sculpted by angels .. really came here to help me when he could be doing anything else like hanging out with his friends-

"Boo."

I jump, shaking my hands and I drop the sloppy cloth onto the floor as I turn around. Taehyung stands behind me with a satisfied smile on his face- knowing he scared me successfully.

"Can you not-" I mutter- trying my best not to smile at him and I turn back around, wiping the mirror in different directions. All of a sudden, I don't know how to do anything due to his existence.

Taehyung surprises me by wrapping his long arm around me, pressing it against the top of my shoulders as he pulls me closer. He leans down to place his head on my shoulder as he watches me clean.

"Let me do it for you." His lips are dangerously close to my ear and his voice is smooth, deep and pleasing to anyone's ears.

I bite down on my lip and try my best to ignore the proximity of his front against my back, his arm around me and his lovely lips.

"Here." I toss the cloth in his face as he quickly moves away- shouting my name with a glare.

Taehyung pretends to cry- about to use the cloth as a fake tissue and the expression on my face softens as I grab his wrists. "I'm sorry! I was just joking tae-"

Taehyung cuts me off as a beautiful smile spreads across his lips, showing off his teeth as his laugh lines appear. The glare I was about to give my boyfriend turns into an uncontrollable smile as the two of us burst into laughter.

Minutes later, Taehyung wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk into the balmy living room.

"I'm so tired." I mumble and I don't realise how I lean into Taehyung- pushing my head into his chest. He smells so good and-

"Exhausted." He admits with a sigh and he squeezes my side as we both collapse onto the couch- with our arms still around each other, his around my shoulder and mine around his waist.

We lie together in silence until the two of us sit up. Taehyung sorts out his hair- shaking out his bangs as he glances at me.

I look back at him before quickly looking away as I lean back. My heart starts to beat dangerously fast as I realise he's still staring at me.

I look down at my hands in my lap and my knee is against Taehyung's side. He seems so snug with me- it makes me glad.

Taehyung holds mischief in his eyes as his hand pushes my hair back- his palm being placed against the back of my neck as he smirks. He leans in closer and I watch as he does so- hesitant, excited, about to have a hasty breakdown.

I feel his breathing on my cheek as his lips brush against mine. Our lips meet and I'm ecstatic.

It was supposed to be a simple, quick and random kiss. It turned out to be much more than what we imagined because we kissed each other back, with so much passion. My stomach is exploding, my hands are clenched at my sides and my nerves slowly start to fade when Taehyung smiles against my lips.

My hands find the back of his neck and for the first time I feel the ends of his hair between my fingers, his soft strands that I've always admired from far- run smoothly through them. I continue kissing his lips as we move closer and his hands trail up my sides, no longer wanting to stay at my waist.

Our mouths move in perfect sync and I feel as though I'm on fire just by the touch of his lips. So powering. Taehyung's thumb rubs the side of my cheek as he cups my face, still kissing me delicately.

I feel him, I feel him everywhere and he's in my veins- taking over me. All of a sudden, I'm thinking about how this boy is driving me crazy to the point where I think about him everyday. From his smile to his charm, he's addicting and he must know it.

The kiss began hesitant but it slowly became something we didn't want to stop doing. My hand fists his shirt, moving myself closer to his body as he holds me.

I'm the first one to move away and my lips remain parted as I lean my forehead against his. Taehyung's appreciative, blissful smile after kissing me makes the butterflies in my stomach increase.

And he succeeded, he kissed me unexpectedly.
