POV:
Nym
After eating the ice cream we left the mall. I could tell that my emotions were confusing Charlotte, unfortunately, I was not in the best mindset. Charlotte hooked up her phone to my car, and she put on pisces by Jinjer. It surprised me on how well she could hit those notes, after all there is not very many women that can do that. We enjoyed the music in silence; the street lights flickered on the road.
Soft rain began to fall. The constant pitter patter of the rain hit the windshield in tandem. We finally arrived back at her home. The rain was steadily increasing. She retrieved her key from her left boot."Why do you keep your key in your boot?" I asked her curiously.
"It is an old habit that i picked up from my brother" she laughed, " I know that it seems weird, but people would have a hard time finding my keys. I also sewed a pocket in the inside of my shoes for this reason." she grinned with mischief twinkling in her bright eyes.
We then entered her house. The storm continued to pick up. "You probably should stay the night; the rain is not going to let up anytime soon and it will be dangerous to drive." she said slowly.
"Yeah I think that you are right." I responded softly.
"You are drenched Nym; you should probably take a hot shower." she said in a concerned tone.
"If that is alright with you I would not mind, but I must insist that you take one first." I paused, "After all, this is your home and you are just as wet as I am."
"Okay, I will go take one real quick. Feel free to look around while you wait." she responded casually and went to go take a shower. I started to explore the house. Her little house had two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. I scoped out the living room; it had a 36 inch flat screen T.V., a large white bookshelf on both sides of the T.V. and it was filled to the brim with books. Her home was decorated in soft pastels with baby blues. pinks, lavender, and gray. Over all it was extremely cute, but also comfortable and homey.
On the end table by the couch there was a picture. It depicted a family of three children, two boys and one girl. Standing behind them was a tall man with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. I assumed that he was her father, next to him was a petite woman with waist length, curly honey blonde hair pulled into a soft side ponytail that was tied into a lavender ribbon near her shoulder. One of the boys took after his mother; he had delicate features that made him look like a little girl, but he had his father's fierce eyes. The other boy had his fathers looks paired with his mother's emerald eyes.
The little girl has her mother's looks, but her eyes were different from everyone. Her eyes were like molten honey, pulling you into them. 'her family is beautiful' I thought. 'I wonder if my family ever looked at me with that much love.' I sat back down on the couch.
After 30 minutes she finally left the shower; she entered the living room with a lavender bathrobe on. "Well the shower is open now." she grinned.
"Do you have some bandages by any chance Charlotte?" I asked her.
" Of course I have them because I am such a klutz." she paused, "Why do you need them?"
"I got injured from saving a cat." I replied, " He dug his claws into my leg and scratched me up pretty good." I said. Of course I was lying, but that was the option that I had at the moment.
She smiled at me. "I knew that you were a gentle soul Nym, even from the moment that I meet you."
She is so naive, she must have had a gentle upbringing away from all of the monsters of the world.
" Well I guess I will go and take a shower now." I said quietly. I headed over to the bathroom, before I shut the door Charlotte told me that she would bring some bandages, a towel, and some clothes in a little bit. I stripped out of my wet clothing that was clinging onto by body. Each layer bit into my skin; goosebumps raised on my exposed arms and chest. The pants were a little harder to remove without having the wounds open, and spill blood onto her tile floor. It took over 5 minutes to take my pants off. My body was cold, but now I had to remove all of the blood soaked bandages. I wrapped the bandages together and threw them away in the trash bin. I turned on the shower and the hot water flooded over my skin. The droplets flowed down my body, crimson began to flow into the drain. Each delicate ribbon slowly fading from view. I began to wash my body when I heard the door open, and the shuffling of items. Then the door closed again. After fifteen minutes I turned off the water, and began to dry my body of slowly. I was careful around all of my wounds, and began to wrap them in the bandages that she had left in the bathroom. After I was done with that I put on the sapphire blue robe and nightgown that had accents of black lace. Unfortunately, my underwear was not dry yet as she had washed my clothes while I was in the shower.
I walked back into the living room where i found Charlotte snacking on some banana bread and hot tea while watching a scary movie. I walked in as there was a jump scare and she flipped out and threw a pillow at me. " Gods, Nym how are you so quite." she said in an angry tone." You scared the hell out of me!"
I smiled at her meekly." I knew that robe and nightgown would look great on you" she blushed while looking at my body." Would you like to watch the movie with me?' she asked.
"Of course I would, but only if you let me steal some of that banana bread." I smiled cheekily. She tossed another pillow at me, and I chuckled.
