Chapter 25 - Shorts

Aimee's POV:

I slowly opened my eyes. The light shining through the curtains was visible to me. I assumed the brightness outside felt blinding, but my focus was diverted by something else. On the bed directly adjacent to me was another person. I turned around to see Steven had fallen asleep. When I noticed him there, I grinned. I missed when he returned, so it must have been at night.

I pocked his cheek while he was sleeping. I reflected that it was obvious he wouldn't wake up for some time, so I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth while pondering what to do until he awoke. Since it was obvious that he needed to sleep, I didn't want to wake him up. I got into the shovel and cleaned myself after brushing my teeth.

I wiped off every drop of water from my body as I exited the shower. The thought occurred to me as I was wiping away all the water. I forgot to pack any clothing. I asked myself, "W-what do I do now?" My face flushed as I considered the fact that I was naked and lacked any new clothing. If Steven had woken up, I would have been in a bad situation.

As I was considering this and picturing Steven waking up, I suddenly remembered something. Couldn't I wear his clothes? I'm sure he won't mind, right? I'm allowed to wear his clothes because he's my boyfriend. As I covered myself with the towel, I persuaded myself to do so. I then glanced into the room to see if Steven had awakened or not. I slowly walked inside, opened his closet, looked through it, and grabbed some clothes when I noticed that he was still sound asleep. and quickly walked away.

I sighed in relief when I returned to the bathroom. I started to put on his clothes and thought to myself, "Mission accomplished." I checked myself in the mirror after finishing my getting-ready. I was dressed in a hoodie over a black t-shirt and back shorts.

He only wears black clothes. I thought to myself as I looked at my reflection. The clothes were a little buggy for me. This reminded me how big his build was. As for the shorts, they had elastic, so they were good for me.

After dressing up, I moved to the living room. I noticed some wrappers on the dining table. They had been energy bars when I checked them out. I scowled when I saw it. "Was this what he had for dinner?" I wondered aloud. His eating practices are bad.

As I thought about this, I got a really good idea. I grinned when I thought of how he would react. "Yes, this is a brilliant idea," I said. So I walked out of Steven's apartment and made my way to my dad's restaurant.

Jack's Restaurant

"Sigh," "was it a good idea to let her stay in his apartment alone?" Jack asked himself this as he was manning the counter. He had let Aimee stay at Steven's apartment. At first, he had thought it was good because of Steven's promise, but he was still worried about his daughter.

As he was still thinking, someone burst into the restaurant. It was Aimee. "Dad, I need to borrow some things," she said as she walked directly into the kitchen. Jack was dumfounded by this. But still, he snapped out of his stupor and asked Aimee, "Sweetie, what are you doing?" When Aimee heard this, she said without turning towards him, "I am making breakfast for him." When Jack heard this, he smiled. His daughter was really focused on looting things from here, but soon the clothes she was wearing grabbed his attention. She was wearing all black.As he was looking, she bent down, and Jack saw a brand name in the elastic band of the shorts as he asked, "So kiddo, where did you get the clothes?"

Aimee stiffened when she heard this and stopped looting the things from the kitchen as she said, " forgot to bring my clothes, so I borrowed some of his." She said with a red face. Jack nodded and asked again, "Did he give you these clothes?" Aimee looked confused as she replied, "No, he's still passed out." He came back late at night." When Jack heard this, he sighed and said, "I wonder how he would react."

When Aimee heard this, she said, "Well, I don't think he would mind." When she saw that Jack did not respond, she continued to loot the restaurant and left. "Bye, Dad" when Jack saw her leave. "AHAHHAAHHAAH". Jack laughed after Aimee left."Oh man, how he would react indeed," Jack mused.

back in Stevens' apartment

(back to Aimee's Pov)

I walked back in with a ton of stuff in hand and went straight to the kitchen. I started to cook up the best breakfast I could make. I started to cook. As I was cooking, I heard a ringing noise. It was my holographic phone. I took it out and answered the call, "Hay, what are you doing?" A girl's voice came from the other side.

"Cooking breakfast" I answered (oh that's new, you don't love to cook but your cooking, so who's the lucky guy who stole your heart) the girl said "it's not like that" I said with a red face as I continued to make breakfast

(Oh, you can't hide anything from me. I have known you for years. I won't approve of him until I meet him.") the girl and added, "I'm moving in the area, so I'll meet him soon."

When I heard this, I asked her, "When are you moving?"

(I'll be there tomorrow. Can I stay with you for a day? My stuff will arrive the day after tomorrow. The girl said

Sure, I didn't think my parents would mind, and even if they do, I can move you in with St-" I stopped myself and said, "No, I can't let you stay with him." I corrected myself.

(hahah, so you're getting possessive. This is getting interesting, but I still won't approve of him. You are too innocent and naive. Aimee, if he is a bad boy for you, I am telling you I will do everything to get him away from you.) The girl said

"He's not a bad person," I said, as I defended Steven.

(How can you be so sure? How long have you even known him? and what are you even wearing? "

"Oh, I forgot to bring new clothes, so I borrowed his," I said as I was setting up the dining table.

(Dont tell me you two went Camano already) the girl said when she heard this.

"N-no we haven't," I said. As I thought about it, my face hearted up and turned red.

(Thank God!-) As the girl was going to say more, I heard a noise from Steven's bedroom, so I said in a hurry, "I think he's awake. I'll call you later." Before the girl could answer, I cut the call and moved towards the wed room.

Steven's POV

As I woke up, I found myself alone on the bed. I woke up and was going to walk out of the room, but Aimee came in and sat right beside me. She was wearing my clothes. I could tell with the first glance because they were all back. I thought she looked really cute in my clothes.

I said. "Good morning." "Good morning, so how did you sleep?" Aimee asked. "It was really good, but you used me as a pillow most of the night." I said to get a reaction out of her. "You're my boyfriend, so it's OK." she said with a red face and a pout. Her reaction was really cute.

As I was overwhelmed by her cuteness, I smelled something good, but I didn't voice it out because I could see that she was getting excited over something.

"Anyway, close your eyes." She asked me to follow her along, so I closed my eyes and grabbed her hand, letting her lead the way. She led me to the dining table. So the good smell of worm food became more obvious, so I asked her, "So you cooked me something?" She didn't reply to my question and just made me take a seat at the dinner table and then left me as she moved away. Soon she said, "You can open your eyes now." I followed her command and solely opened my eyes, and what I saw shocked me. The whole dining table had different dishes. " you for making breakfast, Aimee." I thanked her

We soon both pried before eating the food. It was really delicious. I thanked her again for the food when I ate.

While we were eating, a question repeatedly came to my mind. I was hesitant to ask her this, but I soon asked her, "Aimee, I get it that you are wearing my clothes, but where did you get the shorts?"

Aimee, who was happily munching on her food, looked at me and said, with a spoon in her mouth, "I took the clothes from the closet and found the shorts there." She answered

"pffff" I spat the juice that I was drinking back into the gillas. "B-but I don't have any shorts," I said with a stutter. When Aimee heard this, she asked, "What do you mean, you don't have?" Before she finished the sentence, she realized something: she was wearing Stevens undergarments. Her face turned red. She was romping around the building in Steven's undergarments the whole time.
