Fixing A Broken Relationship

Chapter 12

I was finally home from prison. Why couldn't I just skip high school? It's really an unnecessary torture, I think. I dragged myself up to my room feeling as if I had just raised up from the dead.

Flopping onto my bed, ready to take a long nap, I remembered that I told Josh to be here at nine. I groaned in annoyance. Why did I have to say that?

I forced myself up again, battling the lethal and deadly forces of Laziness, and walked to the bathroom for a shower. I stripped out of all my clothing and stepped into the shower. The hot water against my aching body was relaxing, and it woke me up a bit. 

Then, a thought popped into my head. What if we do it tonight? What if I'm just sexy enough that I brake that barrier that he tries to keep up around me? I bang my head against the shower tiles. Can I just stop thinking for a few hours? I think I'll drive myself insane with all this stress. I'm surprised that I haven't grown any gray hairs yet!

I lathered myself in soap and rinsed twice. Now I smell like strawberries, his favorite fruit.

I stepped out of the shower and turned off the water, already missing the warm bliss. I wrapped myself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. I checked the wall clock and it said 5:35. Wow. I was in there for a really long time.

I dried off and let the towel fall to my feet. I went to the closet to get out the bag that had the lingerie in it. I got it out from the kitchen to make sure Luke never wears it again. Idiot.

I layed out all my options on the bed. There are so many. Which one do I choose?

Well, I kinda like this one. Its a red baby doll. It has lace here and there and stuff. I don't really know how to describe it, but I like it.

I slipped it on along with a red thong. This thing barely goes past my butt! You might not be surprised, but this is my first time wearing this type of stuff! But, surprisingly, it's actually comfy! I twirled around a little just for fun. I think I could get used to wearing this.

All of a sudden, I felt like I was being watched. And I have a sneaky suspicion to who might be watching me.

I glanced out the window and saw Joshua staring at me...AGAIN! I feel my face heating up, and I let out a yell of horror. Why does this always happen to me?! I storm over to the window and yank the shade down. Just before my view of him is blocked, I swear I saw him laughing.

I picked up my phone and texted him to just come over now since I'm ready. He responded immediately with an 'ok'.

After five minutes of anxious pacing, I heard the door bell ring. No one else is home tonight, so it'll just be me and him. Mom and Dad went to dinner and are staying at a hotel for the night and Luke is probably at his Jayda's house. Yup. They're together now. As weird as it is for me, I'm happy for them.

I put on my purple robe and walked downstairs. As I approached the door, a little bit of fear washed over me. I wouldn't mind if we did...you-know-what. I just want do "it" somewhere special or something. Like my honeymoon or whatever.

I put my shaky hand on the cold doorknob and turned it.

There stood Joshua in all his hot glory. He's wearing a.....tux?

"Er, why are you wearing a tuxedo?" I asked, raising my eyebrows as he steps through the doorway, shutting the door behind him.

"Oh, um, I just came from a photo shoot." he explained, a note of uncertainty in his voice.

"Uh, no you didn't. I just saw you in the window staring at me."

"That wasn't me. That must've been Jacob."
