"Seriously, are you okay?", he asked and I kinda shrugged, then shook my head

"Seriously, are you okay?", he asked and I kinda shrugged, then shook my head. "What happened?"

"It's stupid.", I mumbled.

He placed his hand near my thigh and I stopped breathing. My heart just fluttered and that's all I felt. When I eventually had to make myself breathe, my breaths were shaking and soft.

I wanted to move his hand, or tell him I felt uncomfortable- but, I didn't, and I didn't feel uncomfortable...

I looked at him, his cheeks rosier then ever- mine probably not that much better. "I'm stupid.", he replied and started chucking. "I'll listen, sorry."

"I had a panic attack in the shower?", I said, yes, as more of a question because I didn't know how else to say it. "I can't be naked in front of so many people-"

"You were a stripper?"

"No, I was high.", I argued and yeah, i was still a stripper but, I wasn't me when I was high. It's like I'm a whole different person.  I scratched my cold, half bare- besides the tee shirts sleeves at the top of my body- arms nervously.

"I mean, I would've paid to see one of your shows.", he said and I covered my face with my hands and put my head down, giggling like an idiot.  "I'm not kidding!  Unless, did you look like that deer from that kids movie- always stumbling and sliding everywhere."

"His name is Bambi-", I said stalling for what I was about to say next.  Don't say it, Mari.  "Wanna find out?", I smirked.  And you said it.

"I got the music covered.", he said and kinda looked at me like he wasn't suppose to have said that.  "Oh, you were being sarcast- ah, okay.", he rambled and scratched the back of his neck, coming to sit back down.

"Wouldn't we get in trouble?", I said the corrected myself.  "I mean, I love trouble.  Fuck, yeah!  Danger!"

"Everyone's at the fucking-", he paused to point at absolutely nothing before continuing.  "Movie, thing."

I stood up, as he already, still, was.  "Got anything?", I asked, figuring not but, hey, worth a shot.  He looked at me for a minute.

"Are you asking me if I have drugs?", he questioned and I stood there like a deer in the headlights- Bambi in the headlights.  "I did, then someone must've took it."

"So an inmate loose with drugs.  Great work, Luschek.", I clapped and he bowed.  "Are we actually doing this?"

"Why not?  We have nothing better to be doing.", he smirked and dramatically hit play on his phone with some music- heading towards his desk chair and taking a seat.  "Let me see if you have anything to feel embarrassed of by being naked."
