Before I start the chapter, I would just like to thank everyone for 100 reads. This is only my second story on here so I wasn't expecting much out of it, but thank you to everyone who has been reading it. Now, on with the story!
I've been here for a month and a week now. It's been six days since Josh took off his mask and showed me who he is. I still sleep in the basement, but hopefully I'll get a room upstairs soon. Ever since Josh took his mask off and kissed me, he hasn't kissed me again. Maybe he's just trying to control himself and wait for the right moment. I hope it comes soon, because I miss the feeling of his lips on mine. He still holds my hand and hugs me, and sometimes puts his arm around me when we watch movies together, but no kisses.
I'm laying in bed thinking about it when Josh comes down the basement stairs with some new clothes for me to change into. He still only gives me sweatpants and plain long sleeve shirts, but I'm not sure why. Maybe he just doesn't know how to shop for girls.
"Morning sleepyhead" he says with a smile as he gives me a hug and hands me yet another pair of sweatpants with a long sleeve shirt and socks.
"Good morning" I reply while yawning and rubbing my eyes before taking the new clothing from him.
"Go shower and then come upstairs. I'll have breakfast ready" he says and starts heading up the stairs after I nod in reply.
After I get out of the shower and go to put on the new clothes, I gasp in horror as I see what's on the shirt. A reindeer. I'm going to look like such an idiot I think to myself as I put on the clothes and braid my hair.

After I get dressed, I trudge upstairs and quietly walk into the kitchen, embarrassed to be seen in this shirt. As Josh turns around, I quickly cross my arms in front of my body to hide the shirt.
He chuckles and shakes his head "what's wrong baby girl?"
He called me baby girl again.
"It's nothing" I say with my arms still crossed in front of my chest.
"It's something. Tell me" he says in a more demanding tone.
"No it's okay" I reply, too embarrassed to tell him.
Suddenly, his eyes get angry and he quickly walks up to me and grabs my arms, forcing me to uncross them. I try to fight him and keep my arms crossed, but he's too strong for me and within seconds I give up and let my arms hang at my sides, showing the ugly reindeer shirt. The anger quickly fades from his eyes as he looks at the shirt. He lets go of my arms and I immediately cross them again, feeling embarrassed to cause a scene just because of a shirt, but it really is ugly. Josh then starts to laugh, and shakes his head again, pointing to the shirt.
"What's so bad about that?"
"Um Josh have you seen it? There's a reindeer on it. It's horrible."
