Race to the Finish chp.32

"Tell you what. Go take a nice, long, hot shower. Change into warm clothes and I'll have hot chocolate and my mom's brownies out and ready for you. Then you can explain to me why you looked so damn sad... No, more like numb in your car. Yeah?" Titi said as soon as we were standing inside his house shivering from the cold rain.

I nodded. "Ok, but I don't want to wear Penelope's tight clothes." I stated giving him a pointed look.

He chuckled. "No problem, you can borrow some of my clothes."

I nodded and headed to the bathroom. I stripped out of my soaking wet clothes and let the water warm before stepping in. I let the soothing warm water wash over me in a relieving manner.

Usually since I have to run as if my life depended on it, I can't enjoy my showers. They are usually extremely few minutes and cold because I don't have time to let it warm. This is definitely a relief.

I took my time in the shower, enjoying every minute of it. I hopped out of the shower and wrapped a warm, fluffy, blue towel around me. I opened the door just a crack to see if Titi left the clothes on the floor outside the bathroom and he did. I quickly grabbed it and slipped on a pair of his boxers and rolled the waistband up to secure them then I slipped on his basketball shorts and did the same as I did with the boxers and lastly I pull on his black shirt that said in white 'I Stole This Shirt From A Homeless Guy, Why He Had A Shirt That Says This, I'll Never Know' and there is like white paint splattered around.

I shook my head at Titi for buying such an idiotic t-shirt. That's Titi for you, you gotta love the guy.

I twisted my hair over the sink to let out all the extra water. I rubbed the towel over my head and walked out of the bathroom. I walked into the living room to see Titi and Jaiden playing rock-paper-scissors. And by the frustrated look on Titi's face, I'd take it that Jaiden was winning.

Titi had on some jeans and a green t-shirt with an arrow pointing down and above that the words 'World's Biggest Midget' all in red.

I shook my head in amusement. Only Titi, man, only him.

Jaiden had a huge smile on her face that lit up her beautiful honey eyes. Titi although scowling, I could see the happiness in his chocolaty eyes.

I smiled at the sight. Why couldn't she always be happy like this? I don't care about me all I care is that my mom and Jaiden could get some f*cking happiness, but that damn bastard won't ever let that happen. At least now Jaiden had Titi as well.

"Losing to a 9 year old? That's sad even for you Titi." I teased him with a smile.

They both looked my way and Jaiden smiled while Titi playfully scowled at me.

"It's not my fault Jaiden is freaking beast at rock-paper-scissors!" Titi exclaimed with a smile. Titi then turned to Jaiden, "This isn't over, but I need to go practice so you sit here and watch t.v. while I play with someone suckier than me... aka your sister." Titi said grinning and standing up from the couch.

"Hey! I'm way better than you! No one can suck more than you can!" I exclaimed.
