I heaved staring down at myself. Why on earth will he give such a towel to me? Feeling uncomfortable stepping out like this, I called out again.
"Uhm.. Alex?"I called and heard him breath loudly.
"Yeah?"he answered, his voice clearly impatient.
"I don't like this towel, if you could just get me another one"I said.
"What's wrong with that one?"he asked his voice turned from impatient to amused. I rolled my eyes.
"Just get me different one...longer, this time"I said just to be clear.
The room became quiet for a while, and then suddenly, the door flew open. The wind caused by the way the door opened passed me and I felt goosebumps immediately.
But the room soon felt like the north pole when I opened my eyes to see Alex standing at the door, his eyes on my body.
My eyes widened immediately to unbearable degrees when our eyes met. I felt like saying something but no words could come out.
"What's wrong with this one?"he asked lifting an eyebrow.
I turned immediately to back him. "What is wrong with you, get out, now"I said my hand crossed on my chest.
"What! Get out? You were the one who has been calling me non stop"he said.
"I only called you to get me a towel, not to just barge in like a pervert"I said feeling uncomfortable standing half naked in front of him.
He chuckled. "A pervert? Between you and I, right now, who seems like a pervert? You're the one in a towel and the one who called me here to see you this way"he scoffed.
"Listen, if I wanted to get your attention, I would have stepped out instead of calling you here. And what's with you thinking I'm trying to get your attention?"I asked frustrated still backing him.
He kept quiet and I wondered if he left already. I turned and he stood there with a smirk on his face. He started walking closer and I turned fully, my eyes darting from his face to his legs, watching his every move.
"What're you doing?"I asked feeling scared.
"Proving to you I'm a pervert. Though I don't think so, I mean we're married and there are certain things married couples do"he said still moving closer with that annoyingly cute, mind-blowing smirk plastered on his face.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, okay. Just leave now, I'm okay with this towel"I said raising my chin to give me that tough look, though I doubted it worked.
He didn't say a word but still taking steps closer to me. I moved back until my back hit the wall. I raised my hands to him immediately knowing there's no where to go.
"Fine, I'm sorry, you--you're not a pervert, please leave"I said with a pleading look.
"Don't you think it's time we have our first night?"he said now standing so close.
"Hmm?"he asked as he lifted his hands to my face, using his finger in a feather like way up to my jaw, then to my chins.
I shivered and tried moving sideways since it was the only way out of this annoyingly pleasing trap. He raised his hands and placed it on the wall preventing my movement.
He moved his face closer to mine and shutting my eyes was the only thing I could think of at that moment.
I felt his hot breath on my face sending shivers down my spine. I tried lifting my hands but they felt numb. I felt his hot breath trail a line to my neck where he placed a soft kiss, drawing a weird sound from me.
I shut my eyes open immediately. What the hell was that?. I couldn't contain the hotness anymore and managed to lift my hands up to his chest but it only felt like I was trying to move a wall.
He smiled and moved his lips to my ears biting my ear lobes and at that moment, though I didn't want to admit it, I felt the urge to pull him closer.
"Do you like it?"he whispered against my mouth. I closed my eyes, his lips so close to mine, we actually shared the same breath. I parted my lips slightly as his lips brushed against mine and then suddenly, I felt cold.
I opened my eyes to see him two steps away from me, the smirk still on his face.
He chuckled and turned walking out of the bathroom without a word. I stood shocked for so many reasons. For acting the way I did, for the weird sound I made, and most especially, for me actually wishing he didn't leave.
I stood there for a while, my cheeks so red I felt they would burn up any second from now, scared to leave the bathroom and seeing Alex again. I suddenly wished I never asked for a towel.
I breathed out, knowing I couldn't stay in the bathroom forever, I walked out and thankfully Alex wasn't in the room. I quickly dressed up, got on the bed, threw the blanket over my body and shut my eyes but not able to shut out the thought of what happened few minutes ago...
Much love, 💕
