Secret identity

chapter five

Nickys POV

I don't know what's up with Frost, but it is a good idea to shower. I haven't had one in a while. I find another bathroom next to a bedroom. Its all the same ; big rooms, white. Beds perfectly made. There is nothing where it shouldn't be.
* * *
I step out of the shower and dry myself with a white towl. Of course its white. I rap the towl around my hips and walk to the bedroom. I see Frost in there with a towl around her.
"Oh"
She turns around. She's holding a phone to her ear. She has a weird look on her face. I frown.
"Um...okay...yep...bye"
She hangs up and chucks the phone on the bed.
"Um, that was Kate...she said we have to be...um...a couple"
"Okay. Who's Kate?"
"The person who took us here. And she'll tell us more tomorrow over lunch"
"Umm, okay"
"I'll just...um...get dressed in the other room" says Frost picking up some stuff from the bed. I nod and she walks out.
I get dressed in some black jeans and a black shirt.
I walk down the hall to the stairs and see Frost. She's wearing lightish blue denim jeans a little bit worn at the knees, and a black baggy shirt that looks like mine. She also wears white socks.
"Hey, what you doing?" I ask. She stands up and steers at me. She looks so relaxed.
"Um, hi" she says
"What did I do?" I ask. I step down and my foot slips and I fall back. My tailbone hits the step and so does my back. My head hits the corner of the step and I slide down the stairs. I groan. I hear footsteps.
" You okay?" Frost asks kneeling beside me.
"Nope, that hurt"
"Bet it would. I'll get some ice"
"Maybe just touch it!"
"What?"
" Frost, just help me up"
"Oh...wow!" She says sliding an arm around my back. I sit up and manage to get to my feet.
"Here...on the couch" she says helping me lay down.
"Can I see it?"
I nod and turn on my stomach. Her hands on my skin makes me shiver. She rolls up my shirt.
"Its nothing" she pauses, "I'll get ice so it won't bruise, okay?"
She goes to the kitchen and comes back a few seconds later with frozen peas.
"Whole, that's cold! What about my tailbone?" I asks still trying to ignore the pain. I feel her hands pulling on my jeans.
I can't feel her hands. I turn my head to the kitchen. She is at the fridge getting more peas. I wouldn't mind going out with her. She is beautiful and nice. I feel her hands at my hips slipping in the peas.
"You'll be alright you big baby"
I prop myself up with my arms and shake my head. She smiles.
"So...what did I do?"
"You fell down the stairs"
"No. What did I do to piss you off?"
"Um...let's not talk about it"
"I'll ask you later then"
"Please don't. That was in my past, I don't like my past, and you just...reminded me"
I nod as she sits on the edge of the coffee table.
"So...do you want dinner?" Frost asks sliding her hands down her legs. She's nervous.
"Uh, yeah that would be good"
She smiles and nods. I watch her walk into the kitchen. The way she ties up her hair, and the bounces with every step. Her beautiful eyes. Those jeans makes her but look amazing. Just her is amazing.
" Do you want anything in particular?"
" Um...no anything is fine" I answer sitting up. The peas fall off. I pick them up and take them to the fridge.
"I'm gonna use those" says Frost grabbing one of the packets from my hands.
"They'd probably be cooked, cause you are preety hot!" She says turning to the oven. I'm frozen. Did she just call me hot? She didn't seem to excited when Kate told her that we had to be a 'couple'.
