6. "I smell like a boy"

R O S A

I smelled my arm and cringed, noticing that a few days of not showering was not working for me.

The past day or two I've kept to myself, asking to eat in my cell, only leaving it with a guard, to go to the infirmary to have my hand checked on.

I was nervous about the showers, since I've heard a things like anyone has, and they're not good things.

I've hardly even seen Michael let alone talked to him, which made me even more nervous to ask him about the shower situation.

I asked to have my cell opened and the guards complied, since the only reason it was closed was because I asked for it to stay closed.

I walked around to Sucre's and Michael's cell to see Michael laying on his bed, reading something.

"Hey," I spoke quietly, I stepped in as he noticed my presence.

I felt a little awkward since he told me about his wife, I didn't know how to feel about any of this -- especially Michael, himself.

"Hey." He sat up, setting down the book.

"I was wondering where the showers are, I haven't showered in nearly a week and I smell like a 14 year old boy." I lightly joke and he smiled.

"There's no way I'm letting you go into that slippery room with a bunch of naked men." He stood up.

"Then what do I do? Take a shower in the sink?" I scoffed and he smirked.

"I'll take you, I'll clear out the room, and stand look out." He said and I squinted my eyes, "For guys, I won't watch you." He laughed.

I reluctantly agreed, because even though I knew he was the one person I trusted the most in this prison, I still hardly knew him, and saying I trusted him the most wasn't saying much, because non of the other men have my trust, except Sucre.

I followed Michael down an unfamiliar hallway, and then without warning, I was lead into a room full of naked men.

I gasped as I covered my eyes, I heard Michael chuckle before he lightly held my uninjured hand, he lead me somewhere before he whistled loudly.

"Everyone out." He spoke loudly in the steamy room.

"Or else I'll have Abruzzi's men show you out." He threatened and I heard groaning and swearing.

I felt Michael pull me into his chest, probably hiding me from all of the perverted men.

A few minutes later, it was quiet in the whole shower room.

"It's clear." Michael lightly rubbed my arm before he left my side, I peeked my eyes opened to see him walking to the only door, he put a white towel on the outside of the door.

Whenever anyone hung any type of white cloth on a door, it meant that they were being sexual.

I shook my head as I rolled my eyes and Michael locked the door.

"I won't look, as much as I'm tempted." He assured me and I smirked.

I walked onto the other side of the wall that was only shoulder height for me.
