I step out of bed in need of freshening up, heading straight to the bathroom for a shower. I open my bathroom door and take my hair tie out and clothes off. Dust particles fall out of the creases of my clothing that came from the dusty container I was in yesterday. I turn the water on in the shower and wait outside as the water begins to heat up. Suddenly, my sweet silence is interrupted by a sudden push on my bathroom door. It opens almost completely until I push back against it, trying to prevent whoever on the other side from seeing my unclothed body
"A-shit"
a recognizable voice comes from the other side of the door. Ghost
"Ghost- what the hell are you doing?"
I say confused on the other side of the door. It's still not closed, but only enough where he can see my face and my bare shoulders
"You scared the hell out of me"
Ghost says as he removes his hand from the door
"You practically rammed yourself into my bathroom door like a bull in a China shop, almost seeing me with no clothes on..but you're scared?"
"I didn't know"
"I mean you didn't even knock"
"Jesus, Adira. I called your name and you weren't in your bed so I assumed- it doesn't matter"
ghost walks away and out of my room, leaving my heart racing from the fact that he almost seen me in a way I'm not ready for.
At least not yet
I let out the breath I was holding and I get into the shower, the warm water hitting my skin

I walk into the living room and stop in front of my usual spot where I sit next to ghost. I stare at him for a few seconds before I sigh and sit down next to him
Our legs brush against one another. Ghost purposefully leans his leg against me more than before. I look at him for a split second and he leans his leg back to him
The touch of Ghost either makes my heart flutter or my body shut down. It's never a for sure answer on what's going to happen, but for some reason today I'm feeling less touch sensitive. I lean my leg over to his letting him know what he did was okay
His eyes meet mine with a soft surprised expression. I give him a light smile and take my eyes away from him as Soap comes over to us with food. He cooked pancakes, hash browns, and biscuits
"Wow soap. I didn't know you could cook a McDonald's breakfast meal" I joke
Soaps puts his hand on his heart, dropping his mouth open in an offended way and smiles at my response
"McDonald's could never compare" he laughs out
I hear Ghost let out a deep quiet giggle,
making me smile on the spot. It's not often you see or hear Ghost laugh or show any emotion in that category, so it always puts me in a good mood to see him happy
*price walks into the room and sits down on the couch*
"I just got more information on wolf. Yes we already have his location, but I have more than that. There seems to be a field 10 miles away from us with some sort of object on it. We won't know what until we go there. Ghost, Adira, you two will check it out and I'll drive. The rest of you will stay here"
"Well damn. What time?" I say surprised
"At seven. It will be dark enough for his cameras not to spot us"
"What if their night vision?" Ghost says in his raspy voice, tilting his head to the side
"Thank you ghost, but they're not. I've checked the system" price says snarkly
A smile tugs at the corners of my lips as I put my head down, eating my breakfast to burry my mind in something other than wolf and his idiotic men
It isn't long til the team puts on their usual football and go on about their banters. I sit back and watch them fight over who's the better team, even though most of the games are recorded from the last time they watched them, because there isn't another one until a month, so they already know who wins as usual
For some reason I get a pulsing feeling in my hand. The feeling to want to touch something. This usually only happens when I'm overstimulated, but I'm not, so I'm not sure why i feel this way. I take my chance and cautiously reach my hand over to his leg, placing it on his thigh. He snaps his head up, looking at me then down to my hand. I could've swore I heard his breath hitch
"I'm gonna go to my room for a bit" I give the guys a sweet smile and stand up
Ghosts eyes trail up to mine as I turn around and walk away. I get into my room and change my clothes to something more comfortable
*knock knock* two gentle knocks come at my door "come in" I say letting out a breath
Ghost walks through my door...Jesus. I can already hear the words before they come out of his mouth
"Getting comfortable?" He says in a raspy voice
"Why do you think that?" I smirk
"Because not too long ago I couldn't even accidentally rub my leg against yours, now here you are touching me. It's a reasonable assumption yea?"
"I guess you could say that" I smile
He slides closer to me, looking at me with his memorizing eyes
"Adira.." he breathes out
"Ghost"
"Remember when I found you by the shipping container..before the team walked up"
I swallow hard as I realize what he's
talking about
"Yes" I whisper as I keep eye contact
I watch as Ghost slowly lifts up the bottom of his mask, lifting it just above his sharp jawline and soft lips. My stomach sinks, but not in a bad way. In a way of anticipating something that hasn't happened to me in a long time
His big hand slides up to my cheek. He looks deeply into my eyes for a few seconds. I lean in closer to him and he presses his soft lips onto mine, Kissing me slow as his breathing gets heavy. A warmth grows across me as he slides his free hand onto my waist
He breaks the kiss ending off with a smile. His eyes leave mine, as if he was nervous. He looks back to me, sliding down his mask
"I've been waiting to do that for a long time" he says quietly
I give him a soft smile and he turns around, slowly closing my door to keep the team from hearing where he just came out from
I'm left with butterflies in my stomach, thinking over what happened. Will it happen again? Do I want more?
(Y'all I've been busy! I'm sorry for taking so long to make a chapter. Sorry if there's any spelling mistakes, make it make sense. Anyway, how did you like this chapter?<3)
