Clem's POV
I awoke to the sound of birds chirping and light streaming in through the boards that were sloppishly applied on my windows. I yawned and stretched, getting off the bed slowly. Aj was fast asleep on the bed opposite me and I sighed in relief since he wasn't the one to wake me up today.
I walked around the room trying to activate my freshly, energized body. I caught my reflection on a shard of glass that was lying in the corner and cringed at the bird's nest that was my hair.
I thought back to what Louis had told me a few days ago when we had our little moment. I had been too scared to take him up on the offer truthfully. I didn't really understand why. Being around him had started to make me feel quite nervous and my heart was always beating so harshly that I was afraid that he would be able to hear it. I was feeling confident today though, and figured I should take him up on his offer. I also thought back to when he playfully bit my ear and a shiver ran through my body.
I felt a weird tingle down there as I remembered the feeling of his hot breath on my skin. I knew that what I was feeling was lust, as Kenny had once gone on a tangent about it and how more than ever all the boys would want me, but I had never experienced it before.
Louis was making me feel all sorts of things and I didn't know if I liked it or not. I walked out of my room and somehow found myself on the second floor of this building, in front of his room door.
I paced back and forth outside of his door, placing my hand to knock but then pulling it away. Trying to gain the confidence when suddenly, the door flew open and Louis came out. Half naked.
He wasn't very muscular but all the apocalyptic work he had to do had certainly defined and toned his body. I had never noticed how wide his shoulders were before and noticed that he had a long scar lining the side of his stomach.
"Clem! What are you doing here?"
I blushed at the sight of him and gazed my eyes down to his feet. He had big feet.
"Hey...good morning. I was coming to take you up on that offer, to do my hair. I remember you told me you always get up early so I decided to try and catch you."
He looked at my hair then down at my red face.
"Well I was just on my way to take a shower so maybe when you're down ogling my very sexy body you can come with me?"
I choked in embarassment and widened my eyes in surprise. He chuckled at me and I almost melted at the sound of his raspy morning voice.
"Take a shower? With you?"
He moved his hand to the back of his neck and rubbed it nervously.
"Well yeah uh you can wash your hair too with some of my shampoo."
"You have shampoo?! I havent seen that since... well since before the world went to shit."
"Yeah I make it on my own. Gotta keep my hair smelling good for the ladies."
I laughed.
"The ladies?"
"Well of course by ladies I mean you." Louis suavely winked at me and walked away.
I stood there and I swear my heart exploded. He was actually going to be the death of me. I quickly ran up behind him and we made our way to the 'shower', which was really just a fresh-water river that ran behind the school.
We reached the river and Louis started taking his pants off.
"Are you just going to look at me while I take my clothes off? Should I give you a little dance too?"
