It was her fucking bra and her shirt.

This girl would be the death of me. What a way to go, though.

“You can go back to the lounge. I’m going to take a shower. Don’t worry, it’ll be quick,” Lexi yelled from inside the bathroom with the water running.

I tried my best not to picture her undressing and getting into the shower as the droplets of water ran down her back. I failed miserably. How could she have this much of an effect on me?

Fuck.

I let out a low, guttural moan as I exhaled and made my way back toward the lounge. Stopping at the door, I took a deep breath and exhaled once more. I started to leave the bedroom when a drop of water fell on my hand. I furrowed my brow, inspecting the ceiling.

Where the hell did that come from?

Seconds later, another drop fell to my feet. In my peripheral vision, I noticed the hair lying on my shoulders was still dripping. I almost slipped as I tried to walk back over to the bed. Looking around for a towel, I searched the whole room but couldn't find any.

All of them must be in the bathroom.

“Great,” I mumbled.

With no other choice, I knocked on the bathroom door.

“Yes?”

“I need a towel.”

“No, you just want to see me naked!”

I laughed quietly before responding, “Well, yeah, that would be nice, but unfortunately, I really do need a towel.”

From the other side of the door, I heard shuffling, then a thud.

“Ow,” her muffled voice groaned.

“Lexi?”

The door swung open slightly as Lexi peaked her head out. Her soaking wet hair was trickling onto the floor, much like my own. She poked her arm through and handed me a towel.

“Next time, come up with a better excuse if you want to see me naked.”

I took the towel while smirking as she slammed the door in my face.

Come up with excuses to see her naked? Guess I had some homework to do.

Just A Crush

“Well, someone changed,” Andrew observed.

“Yeah, Lexi, let me borrow one of her dresses,” I shrugged while looking down at my outfit.

“You look great!” Brian beamed.

“Did I not look great before?” I joked.

“Uh, no, that's not—”

Ashley burst out from behind the blue curtain, ripping it open violently. She looked me up and down, then gasped, “Wow, you are one hot tamale! No wonder Lexi likes you.”

Lilly rushed out and started scolding Ashley. “Ashley, shut up! Don't tell her that Lexi has a crush on her, or she'll get embarrassed!”
