The Summer That Changed Me

Chapter 23

I try to slide out from underneath his arm, but I end up failing. A few moments later, there's a big stir in the bed and I feel strong arms wrapping around my torso pulling me back.

"Ahhhhh!! Let me go!!"

Cory chuckles under his breath and loosens his grip on me a little bit.

"It's just me, babe."

Oh good Lord. Deep morning voices are like one of my favorite things in the world. Cory's voice is already pretty deep to begin with, so his morning voice is just incredibly hot.

"You scared me!"

"Come back to bed, sweetie. It's only 9:30."

"I have to go back home today and pick up the rest of my stuff."

"Sandy already got it yesterday."

"She didn't tell me she did."

"It's downstairs in the old guest room, where I slept the first night you guys let me stay here."

I grunt in response and sit up, but Cory pulls me back down.

"Come back to bed with me."

"I'm gonna go take my shower now, I'll be back in a little while."

"Can I go with you?"

"No you can't go with me baby. I'll be like 15 minutes, tops. I promise."

Cory makes a sad pouty face and I almost fall for it, but before I do, I go in the closet and grab my clothes for the day and make my way to the little bathroom down the hall. I go in and start the water and sling my towel over the top of the shower rod so I won't have to reach my arm out to grab my towel, because sometimes the cold air can be brutal. I turn on the little radio that we have on a towel holder beside the toilet and Not A Bad Thing by Justin Timberlake is playing. I hop into the shower, and while I'm washing my hair, I sing along to the radio.

"Don't act like its a bad thing to fall in love with me, cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me!"

The first verse was me, but the second verse is a deep guys voice and mine mixed. What the?

"Spend all your time and your money, just to find out that my love was free, so don't act like its a bad thing to fall in love with me!"

I quickly finish washing my body and rinsing out my hair and grab my towel off the top of the shower. I wrap the towel around me and poke my head out the shower curtain, but nobody is there. Maybe Cory was just walking by and decided to randomly start singing with me? I unwrap the towel from me and let it fall to the floor, then I step into a bra and my panties. A few moments later, the closet door in the bathroom flies open. I know what you're thinking. Who has a closet in their bathroom? It's where we keep all the towels and extra shampoo and stuff, so it can be useful sometimes. I jump when I hear the door and immediately turn towards it. Of course it's none other than Cory.

"Hot diggity dog!"

My extremely weird boyfriend wolf whistles at me and wiggles his eyebrows at the same time.

"Cory! How long have you been in here?"

"I walked in like as soon as you stepped in the shower. We make a pretty good duet, don't we?"

"You are such a weirdo!"

"But you love me."

"Yes, I do love you baby."

Cory takes a step closer to me and I am now backed up against the bathroom sink. He grabs my waist and leans in to kiss me, so I return the gesture. His tongue slowly slides along my bottom lip, asking for entrance, so I allow him in. Our tongues are actually pretty in sync with each other if I do say so myself. A moment or so later, I'm being lifted up onto the counter. I wrap my legs around Cory's waist and he buries his hands in my hair. I softly bite down on his lip, and he lets out a small moan.
