Just My Cup of Tea

'Millana?' he said my name like he hadn't seen me in a year. I slapped my hands onto my eyes and in an instant, a string of colourful curse words began to leave my mouth.

'What are you doing?' he finally asked, letting me finish my lovely chant.

'I'm so sorry! The parents have taken over all the other rooms and I had nowhere to change. I was knocking but my mom was walking out of her room and I didn't mean to walk in on you half naked and-'

'Wait what.'

'They've taken the other rooms!' I exclaimed finding it very hard to keep my eyes covered because glaring at him would have made my life a million times easier right now.

'No, I got that part. You're covering your eyes because I'm shirtless?' When I didn't say anything, he burst out laughing. That was enough to get me to drop my hands into my lap and finally glower at him.

Alexander shirtless in the flesh was something magazines and pictures could never capture. It was like seeing a lifelike statue of perfection. He obviously had his 6 pack, rippling and his chest looked harder than stone yet softer than a marshmallow. He was toned beyond belief and his V-cut...

I had to mentally slap myself all the way to the moon to stop my thoughts from becoming anything more than they already were.

'You're stupid.' Was my best response.

'The whole world has seen more of me than you're seeing right now and you're covering your eyes?' he started laughing all over again and that was enough to get me to walk over and smack him with a towel.

'Just because I respect your privacy-'

'You're my wife! You're supposed to have seen way more than this by now!'

'I'd rather not give myself eye cancer!' I crossed my arms over my chest and he smirked at me a glint in his eyes. Before he could respond I used the towel to cover his mouth.

'Don't open your mouth.' He wisely didn't but that didn't stop him from smirking even underneath the thick fabric. Suddenly our proximity became very clear to me. Too clear. He was standing completely shirtless and the only thing separating our skin was the thin fabric I was wearing. Our chests were practically pressed together and I could feel the steady rise and fall of his chest from his breathing and the heat from his body.

Instantly, I jumped back.

'I need to change.' I announced. He blinked at me like he was wondering why I wasn't already stripping in that case.

'Turn around nutcase.' He smirked suddenly and I resisted the urge to smack him with the towel again.

'It's not like they'll be anything I haven't seen.' he looked so unbearably cocky I wanted to throw him into a pool of Parana and see how long he'd last.

'What are you-'

'You were in a big rush before your parents came. Where'd that crop top go?' Suddenly the realization dawned down on me. Heat filled my cheeks faster than Alexander's laughter filled the room and all of a sudden, I wanted to throw myself in that pool of Parana and pray I wouldn't last long.

'You imbecile!' I practically yelled before charging for him. Alexander was two steps ahead of me and moved out of the way before I could grab him.

'How dare you look! You're disgusting!' I spat.

'I didn't look on purpose! One second you're dressed the next you're not and the one after that you're dressed again! I didn't even know what was going on-' he had to stop mid-sentence to dodge the book I aimed for him. So close-
