Isolated

Winter Wonderland

Hunter Ivy Woods 

The storm outside doesn't let up at all, snow falls wildly and the wind is so fast and strong you can hear it hitting the house. This was one of the worst storms I've seen in a while and it was kind of scaring me.

I'm home alone right now. Well not even at home, I'm at my sister's house. I was supposed to be spending the weekend here with her but her boyfriend took her and their son on a impromptu family weekend.  Being here alone wasn't usual but I've never been here during a damn snow storm.

The shower was just the right temperature, I stand under the head of the shower letting it hit my skin as I wash up with an unscented Dove bar. The sounds of Kiana Ledé fill the small bathroom and I just hum along to the music cleaning myself.

Halfway through me washing my body with cucumber melon body wash my music cuts off and my phone starts to ring. I peak my head out curtains and press the green accept button for the call.

I've been here all damn day by myself and now when I wanna take a shower and relax people wanna call me. That's always how my life goes.

"Hunter?" I hear through the phone making me raise my eyebrow.

"Yes?" I ask nervously, I have no idea who has my number to be calling me but it had to be important because it's going on 12:30 am.

"It's Top. You at Kayla's house?" Top asks through the phone.

Kayla was my older sister whose house that I was currently in and Top was one of her boyfriend Chase's friend who came over from time to time. I was over here all the time so I've seen him but we've never so much as had a conversation. I figured he had gotten my number from one of them.

"Uh yea I'm here. What's up?" I shut the shower off and grab my towel off the closed toilet.

I hear loud music in the background but it's cut off then followed by a car door closing. "I'm outside. Can you open the door?" He asks.

"You know they not here right? They left for the weekend." I remind him.

He had to have talked to them at some point if he got my number from them.

"I just need to grab something from the back room." Top's voice from the phone. "Can you just open it?" He asks clearly annoyed by me.

"Yea. Here I come." I tell him then hang up the phone. I tighten my towel on my body then walk out of the bathroom.

I can see the headlights of a car from the window facing the driveway. That means I don't even have time to put on my clothes, fuck.

There's a blast of cold air from outside when I open the door. Top stands in the doorway with a big coat on, he steps inside shaking his locs out then peeking over at me.

"Thank you for that." He mumbles then takes his shoes off and walk towards the back of the house. I just shrug it off then head into "my" room, I have a room here that I keep all my stuff in for when I'm here. I spend most of my time here when I can so they decided to give me a room.

I put on a black oversized shirt and a pair of navy blue shorts the head into my sister's room to watch tv. She has the biggest bed and tv so I would come get in her bed ever chance that I get and tonight was no different.

I was laying in the bed with my back facing the door so I don't see Top walk into the room and stand behind me.

"Aye," He speaks making me jump a little grabbing my chest. He laughs at me "You good?"

I nod my head, "Yes I'm good. You bout to leave?" I question since he's now changed clothes completely. 

His head shakes side to side, "Nah well yea but no. I'm bout to go up the street and get some stuff then I'm coming back here. You want something?"
