Savva weaved his way through the crowded hallway, trying to make it to his locker without getting knocked into. He was a small fifteen-year-old, and he often felt lost in the sea of taller, older students. But as he turned a corner, he saw a woman standing alone, leaning against the lockers. She was watching him intently, a small smile playing on her lips.
Savva felt his heart skip a beat as he approached her. She was dressed in a way that was both professional and alluring, with a fitted blazer and a skirt that showed off her long legs. She was older, perhaps in her early thirties, but there was something about her that drew him in.
"Hey there, scrawny little thing," she said as he approached, her voice playful and teasing.
Savva felt himself blush at the insult, but he couldn't help but laugh. "I'm Savva," he said, extending a hand.
The woman took it, her grip firm and confident. "I'm Vera," she said. "I've been watching you for a while now. You seem like a smart kid."
Savva was taken aback. No one had ever paid him that much attention before, let alone a woman like Vera. "Thanks," he said, feeling his blush deepen.
Vera leaned in closer, her eyes sparkling. "You know, I have a proposition for you," she said.
Savva felt his heart race. "What kind of proposition?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Vera smiled. "I have a spare room in my apartment," she said. "I think you'd be a great addition to the household. What do you say?"
Savva was stunned. He had never considered living with someone he didn't know, let alone a woman like Vera. But there was something about her that made him feel safe and comfortable. "I... I don't know," he said.
Vera nodded. "I understand," she said. "But I promise, I have no ulterior motives. I just want to help you out. Think about it, okay?"
Savva nodded, still feeling unsure. But as he left Vera's side, he couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity and excitement.

Savva arrived at Vera's apartment later that evening, his heart pounding in his chest. He had never been inside a woman's apartment before, and he wasn't sure what to expect.
But as he stepped inside, he was immediately struck by the tasteful decor and the smell of vanilla. Vera offered him a drink, and they sat down to talk.
"So, tell me about yourself," Vera said, her eyes fixed on him.
Savva took a deep breath. "Well, my parents are divorced," he said. "I live with my mom, but she's always working. I feel lost and alone a lot of the time."
Vera nodded, her expression sympathetic. "I can imagine," she said. "But you seem like a strong, intelligent young man. You'll get through it."
Savva felt a warmth spread through him. No one had ever spoken to him like that before, with such kindness and respect.
As the night wore on, Savva and Vera joked and teased each other, their flirtatious banter flowing naturally. Savva found himself feeling more and more comfortable around Vera, and as the night drew to a close, he realized that he might have feelings for her.
But he wasn't sure if she felt the same way. As he fell asleep on the couch, he couldn't help but wonder what the future held for him and Vera.
