Jenna stood reluctantly at the door, she didn't want to go in, she didn't want him to see her naked, to see her scars. They were embarrassing, they were proof that she led a sad despondent life.
"Everything alright, love?" Adam asked from behind Jenna.
"Are we showering together?" Jenna asked, her eyes did not leave the glass shower.
There was silence before the sound of Adam's laughter filled the room, it sounded beautiful to Jenna's ears, the deepness of his voice reverberated in Jenna's ears even after he had stopped laughing.
"Of course not!" Adam said, he ruffled the top of Jenna's hair, he lightly nudged Jenna with his hand to go into the bathroom.
"Why?" Jenna asked.
"Maybe he already knows you'll be hideous underneath" the voice said, "he probably doesn't want to scar his eyes"
"Why what?" Adam asked, he was leaning on the wall, his eyes fixed on Jenna.
"Why don't you want to shower with me?" Jenna didn't know why, but the words of the voice in her head stung, it stung more than it was supposed to.
Adam didn't say anything, his eyes didn't leave Jenna either. He stood there, leaning on the door and staring silently at Jenna. It made Jenna nervous, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking, she feared he was already tired of her and her numerous problems.
"I'm sorry" Jenna said slowly, she didn't want him to leave her, he was her light in the tunnel and she didn't know what she would do if everything ended before it even started.
Adam sighed; it made Jenna's heart skip a beat. Fear took over Jenna and she couldn't look Adam in the face anymore.
Jenna heard rustling sounds and looked up, Adam was taking off his shirt, it revealed a well-toned body that was obviously made through hard work in the gym.
"I don't know what goes on in your head, but let me make two things clear" Adam said slowly, he reached over, grabbed Jenna by the hand and pulled her into his chest, "First of all, never apologize for voicing out your thoughts"
Jenna nodded, well she attempted to, but all she achieved was rubbing her head into Adam's chest. Her head went blank, it was too much physical contact for her to handle.
"Second, if I'm showering with you then we'll be doing much more than just showering" Adam whispered into her ear, his breath was hot and it made Jenna's stomach have butterflies.
Jenna's knees felt weak, and for a second, she imagined all the things he could do to her in the bathroom. She felt in between her legs, it felt like something was thumping in between her legs.
Jenna placed her hands on Adam's chest and pushed back, she needed space, her brain was being muddled by the close proximity and his mouth by her ear. She couldn't think when he was turning her on like it was something normal.
Adam chuckled, Jenna had a feeling that he knew what he was doing to her, and he was probably enjoying himself.
"In that case, I'd rather take a shower by myself" Jenna said finally. She walked past him quickly and closed the bathroom door behind her.
Jenna looked around the room once more, with its captivating intricate detailing. She felt so out of place standing in the vast space, the bathroom was bigger than her room, it was three times the size of her room.
Jenna slowly stripped, grateful to finally be out of her wet clothes. She folded her clothes neatly, and placed them on the vanity. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, she wrapped her scrawny arms around herself.
"Can you see what you look like?" the voice taunted, "who in their right mind would want that"
Jenna scowled, she knew the voice was right but sometimes she didn't like how it worded things, it greatly offended her.
Jenna shook her head, she walked into the bathroom and paused. Everything looked weird, it was different from the shower in her house, which was to be expected. There were so many buttons, so many switches. Jenna didn't know what to press and it greatly confused.
"Just pick the blue button" the voice said.
Jenna did as she was told, cold freezing water poured out. Jenna stood there as the shower blasted cold water on her, she stood stil,l and waited for her body to get used to it before she started scrubbing all the sweat and grime accumulated from running under the rain.
She ran her hands all over her body as she rinsed off, she paused when she realized she didn't have anything to scrub her body with. The only sponge she could see obviously belonged to Adam, and she wasn't sure he would enjoy sharing his sponge with someone of her caliber.
"Since you've come this far shamelessly, why not just use the sponge?" the voice offered.
Jenna didn't want to, she had a feeling the voice was setting her up for failure, it was obvious it didn't like Adam and it definitely didn't want Jenna getting closer to him.
"I'd rather not" Jenna said, "I'll just use the soap"
The voice began shouting in her head, but Jenna chose to ignore it. She didn't want to mess up whatever she was growing with Adam. It was hard to find someone who would be interested in her, and yet here someone was.
Jenna rubbed the soap on her back, she winced when it came in contact with the spot that had been burnt by the hot oats. The pain was excruciating, she had to stop and catch her breath.
She continued after a while, this time she was slower and more careful, in order to avoid all the other spots with injuries.
Jenna had finished washing up when she realized that she didn't have anything to wear, she couldn't go back to her clothes because they were wet and dirty. She wrapped a towel tightly around her chest and carefully walked towards the bathroom door.
Jenna opened the bathroom door slowly, she peeked out into the room, the first thing she saw was Adam laying face up on the bed with a hand covering his face. Jenna didn't know what to do, it looked like he was sleeping, Jenna didn't want to disturb him if he was but she was also worried because he was still in his wet clothes.
Jenna walked over to Adam, she leaned over his sleeping figure and watched him closely, from the slow rise and fall of his chest, to how beautiful his lips looked half parted. For a brief moment, she imagined leaning over to kiss him, to feel how soft his lips felt against hers again.
She didn't realize Adam was awake until he had his arms around her waist and pulled her down into him, Jenna gasped, it was sudden and caught her off guard. She could feel her breasts pressing on his chest, it made the hot feeling in between her legs to resume.
"You smell just like me" Adam murmured, his voice was deep and it was sending shivers down Jenna's spine. "I love it"
Jenna wanted to evaporate into thin air, he was making her feel so many things at once that she just wanted to disappear.
Jenna propped herself up on her hands, Adam was still holding on to her waist so there wasn't much distance between her face and his. Adam smiled as water droplets from Jenna's hair landed on his face.
Jenna felt captivated by the way he was smiling at her, no one had smiled at her the way he always did. He was tugging violently at her heartstrings.
Jenna leant down slowly, never breaking eye contact with Adam, she slowly kissed him on the cheek. Adam froze, it was his turn to be shocked, it made Jenna feel giddy.
Jenna leaned closer to Adam once more, this time she slowly placed her lips on his, Adam parted his lips slowly.
Jenna moved back, Adam's hand found it's way to the back of Jenna's neck, "You're not going to get away after starting this"
