Temporarily His

Chapter eleven

I detached myself from Steven. I don't know how long we were entwined but it was long enough for us both to have fallen asleep.

I looked on his phone for the time. It was 3:07 pm. I laid back on the pillow and pondered for a bit why I had fallen back asleep.

Ohhh, the Asprins. I had taken them for the hang over.

I tried my best to get off the bed as quietly as possible making sure not to wake Steven. I decided on taking a shower.

Taking my time I peeled my clothes off and hopped in. Making sure the water is warm I took my time and gently massaged my scalp and  lathered my body. And as the water flowed off my body I allowed the stress and emotions to flow off too.

I again didn't know how long I was in there but by the time I was done my skin tingled a bit due to the temperature the water had. I liked it though.

Wrapping a towel around me I made my way into my room. I mental palmed my forehead for not taking my clothes with me into the bathroom for Steven was in the room and could awake anytime. I decided to just hurry up.

After putting a pair of shorts and a sledgehammer T-shirt I wrapped a towel around my wet hair and went to the kitchen. I could use a snack while working.

I took out my Graham crackers and a bottle of water from the refrigerator. Taking them both and my Macbook I made my way to the balcony to work.

I had always been great at numbers and statistics so account taking was a breeze for me. I remember in collage I would always top that course. I even studied and tutored at one point. That's how I met my best friend Julia. She had been falling behind and asked me if she could be apart of the group I was working with. Over time we became inseparable. I haven't spoken to her since I left for this place. It wasn't because I haven't had the time. In fact, it was she would didn't have the time. She was doing an exchange program in to different countries in the Caribbean for a year with the company she worked with. It was a bit hectic I should imagine so when she settles down I know she'll call.

"Ty?" I heard Steven's voice coming from inside

"Out here" I answered typing in the last digit. All done

" I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to get going. I have a meeting in a few that has urgently come up" he stated unwrapping the towel from around my hair and running his hand through it.

"Oh, ok" I responded.

To be honest. I was a bit disappointed but his fingers were kinda making up for it. They moved oh so wonderfully through my hair.

"It's dry enough to be out now" Steven said.

He had always loved my hair. Always running his had through it and always loved when it was out.

"And if it wasn't important I'd stay because this day was just suppose to be for me and you. But I promise I'll make it up to you"

I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his chest. I reluctantly let him go and he kissed my forehead and turned around and left. My mood left too. I now had nothing to do. I subconsciously started putting things in their right place when I came inside and it escalated into me cleaning my whole apartment.

It was around 5 when I was done and I decided on going for a drive. Changing quickly I grabbed my keys and phone and close my door.

I found a parking space not too far away from the entrance of the mall. I had beat an old couple to it and though that was a bit cruel I was smiling in triumph. I got out and made my way in. I looked down at my yellowish Toms and White shorts which I paired with my black i feel weird. Kristen Macatee merchandise. Yup I was a Dobrik and friends fan. Wasn't the best mall outfit but who cares.
