You Belong to Me

What Now?

*authors note*

Slight sexual content

"Evie. I'm not gonna tell you again. You will sleep in my bed, and I'll take the couch. End of discussion. No more arguing."

We had been going back and forth for like five minutes.

It's no use. It's like talking with a brick wall.

So I relented.

"Okay fine. I'll go in there. But, is it okay if I use your shower? I just feel like I need to wash this whole night away."

Kai smiled at me. "Of course. There's a bathroom in there. I'll bring you a towel and some of my clothes you can borrow."

"Okay. Thank you. Again." I turned and headed in the direction of his bedroom but forgot to say bye to his roommate. "It was nice to meet you!" I called out to Ian who was still enthralled with his game so he only slightly turned his head to give me a nod.

"You too." He replied.

I walked into the room and was pleasantly surprised. Nothing weird or out of the ordinary that I thought maybe someone in the mob might have. Although I have no expertise on the subject so expecting to see like a whole wall full of guns or a table covered in drugs was gonna be a little too unrealistic anyways.

I was standing in the middle of the room awkwardly.

"Something wrong?" Came Kai's voice behind me.

"No. Not really, just not what I was expecting." I said truthfully.

"Oh yeah? And what were you expecting?"

"I don't know, guns, tigers, drugs."

He laughed. "I'm not Scarface, Sweetheart."

"Right." I glanced around the room again. The decor was dark, almost like his entire wardrobe. The bed, easily a king size had black cotton sheets that looked so warm and inviting after the shitty night I've had.

Kai pulled me back to reality. "The bathroom is through here." And walked to a door to show me.

"Oh, thanks." I stepped inside where the lights automatically turned on to a soft hue so it wasn't so harsh on your eyes.

"Let me know if you need help. I'll go get you some stuff." Kai said and left me alone.

In his bathroom. Inside his bedroom...

The shower was easy enough to start but the long metal bar above startled me when it came to life and sprayed me before I had a chance to undress. I jumped back out, quickly stripping off my wet clothes and getting back into the hot steam. I thought my shower at home was good enough but the pressure of Kai's shower and the temperature relaxed my tense muscles instantly and left me feeling like I was in heaven.

I tilted my head forward to get my hair wet when I heard someone behind me.

Looking back I saw Kai standing just outside of the shower, staring.

Finally he broke the silence, "I got you a warm towel and some clean clothes that should fit you fine." His eyes kept traveling everywhere on me.

"Thank you."

Invite him in. Now! You're single, right? Yes!

"Do you want to...?" I started to ask.

He stood up straighter. "No, that's okay. I'll leave you alone. Take your time." And turned to leave but I saw him linger just a moment before closing the bathroom door.
