Inviting Intruder

I am entering the gates to my apartment which Pier ironically but obviously knows the code to enter and I am feelings so overwhelmed by the day. The doctor sent the scripts directly to the pharmacy and I figure I will just pick them up when I am more energized, its a 24 hour pharmacy which gives me some ease. I grab my purse and Pier calls me so I can save his number for when I start work, which I actually haven't officially been informed of. I enter the lobby and push 3 for the 3rd floor, its only a 4 story high building, normally I take the stairs but things haven't been normal.

I fumble for my keys unlock the door and expect to hear the alarm to go off, its to my immediate left, but it doesn't. Thats odd, I think to myself. I am walking through my entrance hallway kind of skeptical while leaving my front door open incase of an intruder. I have two phone numbers on my phone (my original and my Dris assigned) and none rang of an alarm breach of my apartment which makes think I just forgot in the rush of leaving. I walk a little further into my living room which largely centers my apartment, and I take a leap back as I see an all black dressed figure on a ladder, messing with my fire alarm...Kalisto. Unfortunately, he notices my leap back and chuckles "So you do get frightened?" I let out a breath "asshole" and before I can ask or begin to speak he answers "I am uninstalling all the security cameras and microphones, I was hoping to have it done before you were home." I look kind of confused, "Did Dris allow this?" He raises his eyebrows "Actually he demanded all surveillance be removed unless it is for your safety or your knowing, he also said to show you some definite respect because you were to be looked at as a second boss, but he also said to leave it to him to tell the others about me." I put my purse on my blue long entrance table, admiring its vintage beauty and hang my keys on my key hanger that has an attached mirror and chalkboard to it, also a line with clips to hang things, it that holds pictures of Karisa and I and one of my parents. I Close the front door and I can feel Kalisto's eyes on me awaiting a response to this new found respect I am to recieve, but I disregard and he continues working on the fire alarm. I take off my heels and head to my closet to return them and decide I could feel the warmth of the shower right about now. I undress and climb in.

My shower head is detachable and the size of a dinner plate and has different speeds and rhythms, it even changes colors which makes the whole shower loom. I leave it at blue. I lean in with it over my head and let the water just flow on me for 5 minutes. I then shampoo my hair with my Nexus deep moisturizing shampoo, careful not to scrub too hard on my wound. Its tender but bearable. I rinse then put my deep conditioning mask from "its a 10" which requires a 5-10 minute soak. I grab my plastic hair cover and put it over my hair after its overly saturated with the conditioner. I take the razor off my installed shower shelf, its 5 shelfs long and holds all my showering needs. I shave my armpits and then sit on my shower stool and shave my legs. I lather up in sugar scrub and it smells of vanilla and almonds then scrub myself all over. I rinse and use my oil soap that I bought at a homemade soap shop. It supposed to replace using lotion after the shower, it leaves a wonderful smell and my skin feel soft as Egyptian cotton. Its been over 15 minutes since I soaked the conditioner in and I then remove the cap, and rinse out the conditioner when I feel I am not alone.

I hear a slight knock on my open bathroom door "Yeah Kalisto?" I answer "Can I come in?" And I am silent for moment, not sure how to answer or what he is really asking. He notices my silence "I don't know what I am saying but I have been standing still in the living room since you got in the shower, resisting the urge to just feel you." I turn off the shower. The shower door is fogged so he can only see an outline. Without permission, he opens the shower door and holds out his hand to help me out. Keeping his eye contact on mine regardless, of my full frontal nudity before him. I then walk out and I am standing facing the fogged up mirror with my back to him. I let him grab the towel from the hanger and pats my arms, my legs, my stomach and even towel dries my hair in a childish way that makes us both laugh.
