Addilyn watched from her window as the scavengers pushed their new recruits to their breaking point and Harper stood her ground, answering every question with a confident answer, finishing every action and every push-up to the best of her ability. She strongly admired Harper's passion... or was it something else she admired. Addilyn closed the curtain to the window and walked away before any of them could see her. She barely saw herself in the mirror, but she could see how red her cheeks were.

Harper made Addilyn feel a different way that anyone had ever, she never truly felt this way about anybody else. She brushed her hair back out of her face with her fingers and instantly felt hotter after thinking about her. She grabbed her towel and headed to the outdoor shower, draping the towel off to the side, she got into the shower and undressed, draping her clothes on the same wall of the water bucket.

In a place like this, you'd expect a plumber to make so with what he could to get running water, but where would the water even come from. The water partially warmed from the sun above, Addilyn pulled the rope to tip the bucket. The water ran over her naked body and she soaped up her hair and the rest of her body.

Soap stung her eyes and she tipped the bucket little by little sure enough to get the rest of the soap off. She reached out for her towel and dried herself off before getting dressed back up in the clean clothes.

She was in a pair of panties and in her bra when the curtain pulled open and she was exposed to the cold air. She tried to cover her body, but faster than it happened the curtain snapped shut. Harper held it closed against the wall and sighed. "My god... I'm so sorry." She hesitated saying it, but was it truthful, was she really sorry?

Addilyn opened the curtain again, this time she was fully dressed and she walked away, she could feel Harper's eyes on her as she did.

Harper couldn't even begin to think about what Addilyn looked without her clothes on, partially because she didn't want to cross a line she couldn't come back from. She closed the curtain to the shower and got undressed. But she couldn't help but imagine now what she looked like, now that she had the chance, it's burned into her head in a good way. She sighed and splashed water over her head to knock her out of it.

Harper massaged the water into her scalp, looking down at the floor, she noticed an extra pair of panties on the floor of the shower and realized they weren't hers. She bit her lip and picked them up, hesitantly examining them, they were Addilyn's.

Addilyn walked back out the door in retrieval for the clothes she left in the shower area. She could hear the water running and knew Harper was showering.

"Hey... did I leave any of my clothes in there?" She asked embarrassedly, although they both knew what exactly it was.

"Uhm, yeah, they were on the floor." Harper jumped at the sound of her voice and took a moment although they were in her hand. She reached through the curtain and handed them to her.

Water streamed from behind the curtain and down her arm, making Addilyn so dangerously curious. She grabbed the panties from Harper's hands and pulled the curtain open like Harper did to Addilyn.

"What the f-" Harper was stopped by Addilyn getting into the shower and quickly ripping the curtain closed behind her.

Harper pressed up against the small shower's wall, Addilyn stepped closer and kissed her hesitantly.

Harper didn't pull off, Addilyn liked the way her lips felt on hers, like it was meant to be. It felt so right, but so wrong at the same time.

Harper reached up and wrapped her grip around the back of her neck and pulling her closer, kissing her back, but deeper.
