I Will Fear No Evil

Chapter 2: The Excitement Starts

A great sharp three knocks on the bathroom door snapped her out of her daze. The water was cold now and all the bubbles had dissolved.

"This is the police, madame! Open this door!" A gruff voice said out of nowhere.

Shaking her head, she retorted, "I would, but I am very naked and cold and alone and I don't know what to do if you walked in right now."

"Well that is hot. And how did you know it was me?" Garrett said back in his normal voice.

"Only you would do something that dumb. You think a police officer would really do that?"

"I have no clue. Either way, you should hurry up and get out right now before I break down the door! I know I'm a little early, but I was bored."

She could practically feel his smile from the other side of the door. She grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body while reaching in the tub to drain the water. She became aware that she was going to have to walk out in front of him in order to get to her room to put on clothes. Now, she could tell him to turn around or get out, and he would. He is a very respectable guy, even though he jokes around. But, she was going to enjoy his reaction. She opened the door to find him actually leaning against it. His face dropped when he saw that she was only in a towel. He quickly turned around and gave her space to move out of the bathroom.

"A little warning next time you're going to pull a move like that please! I try my hardest to be a decent guy, but then you go and pull stuff like that and it just doesn't help my inner man you know." He yelled while facing the other way.

Laughing hard, she said, "Thank you for not letting your 'inner man' out, who knows what trouble he would be. And my clothes are in my room, because I was expecting to be done before you came over. I just figured that this wouldn't bother you at all." She slowly walked back to her room while humming. Taking one last look at him with his back turned to her, she admired him. He was a whole head taller than her with dark hair and a very strong build. He was a very attractive man. Opening her door, she entered in and shut it before swiftly putting on some light clothing.

Walking back out, she saw that he was no longer in front of the bathroom but instead had already settled down on her couch in front of the t.v. She grabbed a throw blanket and wrapped it around herself before settling on the opposite end of the couch. He immediately took notice and feigned a hurt look. "I totally see how it is Jenny. Well, don't mind me." He got up and plopped down right next to her. He settled his arm around her while she made no notice of his presence. "Are you enjoying this?"

Wanting to get to his pride, she turned to face him, which he was very close, and said, "Enjoying what?"

He scowled before using his other arm to reach into his side pocket. "Are you perhaps missing something?" She stared at him with a confused gaze for a second before he pulled out her phone. She got wide eyed and tried to grab at it, but his arm around her held her down. "Uh uh uh! You have to be nicer than that. And you got two texts from a random number. You know you should enter people's names in your phone, otherwise you will forget who you're talking to.

After making another attempt at grabbing her phone and missing, she folded her arms and frowned at him before saying, "Some person just texted me before I went into the bath. I'm not sure if it's a random number or not, so I asked. May I please read it?"
 "Hmmm... you're getting a little nicer."

"Has anyone ever told you how much of a handsome devil you are and how nice you smell?" She said in a very fake sweet voice. She wasn't lying at all but she wasn't about to admit to him all that. His head would swell more than a hot air balloon.
