Not So Little Distractions

The Bathroom's Steamy - Part 1

I can hear the shower running in the room next to me slow, and finally stop. Loud footsteps follow for a minute or so before I hear the lock click, and the door creak open.

I pull my sodden shirt off and throw it over the door in hopes of drying it off for work tomorrow as my drenched hair leaves a trail of water on the floor behind me.

Everything goes silent for a few moments before Alex's sexy voice snaps me back to the real world-

'Gorgeous? You can get in the shower now, I'm out of the bathroom. It's a bit steamy because I had the water hot, I'm sorry!'

'Give me a minute!' I call back, trying to juggle her shirt, my trousers, and a hundred and one other assorted jackets and shoes that had gotten soaked in the heavy rain downpour we'd been unlucky enough to be caught out in.

I take a few steps forward, and completely misjudge the step in front of me and stack it, face-planting the floor with a humiliating thud.

'Scarlett? What happened, are you okay??' I can hear a strong hint of concern in Alex's voice, and I roll onto my back to look at her and reassure her I'm okay.

I look up at her, and instantly forgetting my reason for doing so, stare for a solid few seconds. Her toned body is wrapped in a towel that is covering just enough to keep her decent, but way too little for me to keep my mind out of the gutter. Water dripped down her chest and her hair, and she looked even hotter than normal. She moved one hand to my waist and one under my thighs to pick me up, and her skin is hot to the touch. She smells incredible, and I lean into her as she carries me to my room.

'You smell good.' I murmur, trying to not fall and make an idiot of myself for the second time that day.

She chuckles to herself before placing me down on my bed and wrapping a blanket around me.

'Go and get in the shower before you catch a cold. You're freezing, Angel.'

'I can't be bothered.'

Her face turns to a frown and she tilts my chin up to look at her.

'I wasn't asking. I'm not having you sick over Christmas! Get in the shower before I take you there my damn self.' Alex's voice is stern but I know she's not trying to be mean. More so, she's trying to be enticing.

'I think I like that idea.' I stated, and she looks down at me and narrows her eyes, almost like she's thinking of how to respond.

'I don't mind showering for a second time if it'll mean you will shower too.'

I raise my eyebrows at her and smirk, and that's all
she needs to know to know that I'm completely on board.

She picks me up once again, throwing the blanket back onto the bed before carrying me to the bathroom.

I jump down from her arms and she turns the shower on, flicking the lock on the door shut, before pulling off what was left of my clothes and throwing them into a corner.

'This wasn't what I was picturing when you said the bathroom was steamy, but I'm glad it's what you meant.'
