Chapter 9: What's he hiding?
Kori stopped singing "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey as the last of the soap suds washed away from her body. She turned off the water then and stepped out of the shower. Once she was out she covered herself with a white towel and proceeded to brush her wet hair. With the tangles in her hair now gone Kori reached for her hair blower, only to notice it wasn't there. In addition to that her change of clothes wasn't there either. She left the items in her room and so she opened the door wide enough so she could poke her head out. She would just holler for Raven so she could bring-Kori clapped her hand over her mouth, reminding herself that Raven no longer lived in the same house as she did and that her current roommate was Xavier.
A boy.
Looking down at the towel that covered her body Kori concluded there was no way she could call for Xavier to bring her the things she'd forgotten in her room. It would be too embarrassing, especially since one of those things she'd forgotten had been her panties. And besides, it was still early in the morning. Even if she wanted to call him he'd probably still be sleeping. She would just have to get the things she needed herself. Not a problem.
Making sure her towel was secured, Kori left the bathroom and tipped toed down the hall to her bedroom... As she stepped inside she was unaware that the door to Xavier's room opened.
Stepping out of his room, Xavier released a yawn and made his way to the bathroom. Seeing how the door was open and the bathroom empty, he figured Kori must have already finished and dressed. Most likely she was downstairs and burning toast, Xavier thought with a small laugh as he removed his sweatpants and boxers, the only things he had worn to bed. He would shower quickly and join her downstairs, saving her from her cooking.
Before he could turn the water on, Xavier heard the doorknob turning, and before he could grab a towel to cover himself the door opened, revealing Kori, who Xavier was shocked to see was only wearing a towel and immediately his mind mentally burned the image of her into his brain as his cheeks glowed red. It wasn't until Kori started screaming that things (other than the fact that she was only wearing a towel) began to register in his brain.
Like the fact that he was naked.
"Oh shi-" he quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. "Cutie, I am so..."
Again, Xavier froze as his eyes settled on the towel that had dropped to Kori's feet.
Upon opening the bath door and finding Xavier there, in the nude, Kori had dropped the things she had been carrying and screamed, her hands clapping over her eyes. It was during this moment that the towel she had wrapped around herself loosened and fell to the floor, pooling around her feet and giving Xavier the view of a lifetime.
After about seven seconds, which was six more seconds than Xavier needed, he turned his eyes away from Kori's body. "Uh... your towel," he mumbled, pointing at the floor. "It, uh... fell..."
Although extremely embarrassed, his words registered and Kori looked down. Sure enough, there was her towel on the floor. As her cheeks turned the color of her hair, Kori released another scream, stepping backwards and bumping into a door. Her hand found the knob and she quickly opened the door and thrust herself inside, slamming the door shut.
After a few seconds had passed Xavier spoke. "Uh... cutie... That's a closet."
The door opened a crack, and Xavier saw Kori's hand pop out and snatch up her towel before disappearing back inside. A few seconds later she emerged, her hand holding the towel up since she no longer trusted in its ability to stay wrapped on its own. She bent down to gather the things she had dropped and very confidently stood up straight.
