“You’re getting it, aren’t you? You’re getting Iknowyou knew I didn’t need towels. And it’s clicking I know you know my secret. And I know yours, sweetheart.”
I pull my headphones off my head.
“What thefuck?” I say, probably too loud.
But really, is there too loud a volume for this?
Because honestly, what thefuck?
I get to my feet, grab my glasses, and pull out a pair of bike shorts and an oversized t-shirt. If he gets to be absolutely unhinged, then I do, too.

Sky’s Sluts
SkysMainSlut: GIRLS did you see the surprise drop?
AshBash69:I orgasmed as soon as I saw it omgggggggg
RebelLady93:have you listened to it yet?
AshBash69:no, why?
RebelLady93:it’s sfw.
SkysMainSlut:WHAT
AshBash69:oh my god my day is RUINED.
RebelLady93:it was kinda weird, honestly. It was direct to listener, but it was like… very specific. Very personal. It was hard to feel like he was talking to me.
SkysMainSlut:i can’t believe my man broke my heart like this.
AshBash69:we just have to get through the weekend and monday, and then it’s tuesday. Hopefully he’ll be back to his normal content by then.
SkysMainSlut:i hope so. I need something unhinged and sexy in my life.
It’swaytoo easy to get inside this apartment building. If I weren’t so pissed, I’d tell Ren about the faulty lock.
But I am indeed pissed, so he can be murdered in his sleep for all I care.
After knocking on three doors, I was finally given Ren’s apartment number by a random dude. Again, the odds of him getting murdered in this building are very high.
Now I’m standing at his door, banging on it with my fist.
Ren’s eyes widen behind his glasses when he opens the door, like he didn’t expect to see me. I fight the urge to roll my eyes. He’s going to make an erotic audio about me, or at least directed at me, and act surprised when I show up at his apartment that I definitely didn’t know the location of?
Preposterous.
“Aud…”
“I’m coming in,” I interrupt, shouldering my way into the apartment. When I step in, most of my gumption disappears because this man has a lightsaber mounted on his wall and a LEGOStar Warsspaceship I don’t know the name of encased in glass but also, it has that sage and peppermint scent and it makes me want to pull my hair out.
“What are you…” he begins to ask, closing and locking the door with a click.
