Grimmjow had stayed for dinner, and then he had gone home. As soon as he had left, I had gone up to my room for a shower. Again, my panties were soaked from our earlier encounter. And I felt so damn frustrated... like, unsatisfied, in a way... just what the hell was wrong with me? I took my shower quickly and changed for bed. I was tired, but I forced myself to do my homework. It was late by the time I finished it.

After I packed everything back up into my new bag and got ready for bed, I found myself wanting to peak out onto the balcony... so I crept over and opened the curtains just enough to see out of the glass door. Sure enough, he was on his own balcony, smoking a cigarette as he stared up at the sky. Since he couldn't see me, I took the opportunity to watch him. He was dressed in the same black silk pants, so I figured they were his usual sleeping attire. And, to my shameful pleasure, his torso was bare. But there was a towel draped over his shoulders and his hair was damp... which made him look quite attractive. I watched the way his muscles moved as he casually smoked his cigarette, seemingly lost in thought.

It was a while before he finished it. But instead of going back inside, he pulled his phone out of his pocket. I saw him typing away on it... and then my phone beeped. I jumped, startled by the sound. Surely I hadn't just watched him text me... had I? I stepped over to my phone and checked it. Sure enough, there was a text from Grimmjow.

FROM GRIMMJOW: Are you coming out here, or what?

Oh, no! Had he seen me watching him?! I turned like ten million different shades of red. But then I brushed the thought aside. He hadn't looked over at my balcony at all... so he couldn't have seen me. Feeling more relaxed, I set my phone back down and walked out onto my balcony.

His eyes immediately met mine, a cocky grin spreading across his face. "Hey, babe."

I huffed. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?"

He shrugged, still grinning. "You can keep count to find out, if you want."

I sighed, rolling my eyes as I leaned onto my railing. "So, did you want something?"

He chuckled softly. "Just to see your gorgeous face before I went to sleep."

I blushed at his comment. "Well you've seen it... so is that all?"

His gaze raked over me, looking me up and down. His lips tilted as he smirked at me. "Cute PJ's."

I blinked, then looked down at myself. My pajamas had fluffy teddy bears wearing sleeping caps and yawning adorably... but OMG! What was I thinking, wearing these out here where he could see me?! I started blushing, and then he started laughing, so I blushed even harder.

"Damn... too bad there's a two story fall between us." He narrowed his eyes at me, still smirking. He almost looked like a dangerous predator... "I'd love to get my hands on you right now."

"Grimmjow!" I spluttered, taking a step back from the railing.

He laughed again. "Relax, babe. I'm not gonna come flying over there after you."

I got a mental image of him leaping over the yard and pouncing on to me... and it made me wonder if I had maybe stayed up to late, since I seemed to be thinking such strange thoughts...

"Besides..." He mumbled, still looking at me, almost seductively. "If I got a hold of you again I'd probably end up needing another cold shower."

It took me a few moments to catch his meaning. Cold showers meant... OMG! Did I really have that affect on him? And he had said another so... did that mean that he had to take one already? Jeez! I felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. "Ummm..." I wrapped my arms around myself, shifting my weight nervously. "I don't think I know how to talk to you right now."
