scandalous

angie had been rudely awoken that morning. the loud clattering of someone shuffling around on the druthers had awoken them all. the three girls had all headed out to the camerons' large boat at around 1am after sarah's bedroom turned into a sauna. my druthers was the only place with working aircon so angie and wheezie had taken lower deck, whilst sarah stayed up top on the couch.

it seemed her and wheezie had awoke at the same time, both looking to each other in confusion as heavy footsteps sounded above them. angie lifted her phone, the screen lighting up; 5:04am. then sarah had began to speak, their unexpected intruder had began speaking back causing wheezie and angie to shoot from the bed and eavesdrop from the bottom of the stairs.

"relax, i'm not gonna tell him anything. it's okay john b, your secrets safe with me." sarah said causing angie and wheezie to look at each other with raised eyebrows. "you can leave now."

"right, i'll leave that right there." he muttered, wheezie taking this as her chance to climb higher up the stairs and see what exactly he left behind.

"scuba." she informed, plopping down onto the bed beside angie.

"what the hell does john b want with ward's scuba?" angie asked.

"beats me." wheezie responded, laying down with a sigh. "goodnight."

"it's 5am." angie snickered.

"thats night time."

angie couldn't return to her slumber as easily as wheezie had and since there was no cell signal, took to playing candy crush – the only game she had installed. it was good enough and passed the time for the next hour until she had found herself stuck with no lives. what was she supposed to do now?

it was 6:35 when she exited the druthers, her oversized top draping down her thigh and almost covering the entirety of the shorts she wore beneath. she was in desperate need of a shower and figured it was a more reasonable time to go back to the cameron's house and collect her things. she slipped quietly through the back door and tiptoed up the stairs. her clothes sat in a pile along side her purse on sarah's dresser. deciding that it was early enough for her to get home without anyone seeing her she voted against getting changed into her outfit from the night before; instead she raked her hair into a messy ponytail and swiftly exited sarah's bedroom.

her hands were full and she juggled with her clothes, making it halfway down the hallway before a pair of shorts dropped to the floor. she stooped down to pick it up, so focused on being quiet she hadn't even noticed the body that appeared in front of her. she stood up, crashing straight into them. shit.

"what are you doing?" rafe scolded quietly, eyeing the clothes in her hands in confusion.

"i can't sleep i was gonna walk home to get changed." angie explained, dropping her shorts again causing her to bend down and pick them up.

"you're going to walk home like that?" he asked sounding disgusted as he eyed her attire.

"yes, but now you're in my way." she pointed out, slipping around him and heading for the stairs. rafe couldn't help but to let his eyes linger slightly longer than they should have.
