We arrive at Jace's place ten minutes later, like we always do. Walking through the door, he wastes no time and starts taking off his clothes. He throws them onto the usually clean floor.

He's only in his boxer shorts, so my guess is that he's showering first. I stop at the kitchen table and wait for Jace to enter the bathroom. He walks through the door, but stops abruptly. Turning back around, he walks back over to me.

"Come with me" he says and looks deep into my eyes, making my knees go weak.

"What?" I ask confused, stuttering a little.

"Come shower with me" he says, practically begging, subtly eying me up and down.

Last time he was clearly joking, but I think this time he's pretty serious. I think about it for a second. Jace wouldn't be the first boy to see me naked, obviously, but I still don't have the most confidence. 

He comes closer to me, his eyes not leaving mine. 

"I don't want you to think you have to hide from me" he says and quickly licks his lips, brushing his hand over my face. "Besides, it'll save us time." 

My heart is racing, because I don't know what to do.  At all. Jace offers me his hand, holding it out in front of me. Screw it. Just do it, Mila. I take up all the courage I have and lay my hand in his. 

"Come on" he says and gently pulls me inside the bathroom. He closes the door behind us, and I take a deep breath.

"Turn around" I tell him and he grins at me cheekily.

"Really? Don't take away all my fun" he laughs, crossing his arms at me. He gives me a quick peck on the cheek, before doing as told.

My heart is still racing. Just in case, I turn around, facing away from him too. I start by taking of my socks, pants and sweater until I reach my underwear. Jace already took of his boxers and went inside the shower, because the water is running. I don't even know why I'm so nervous. 

Get a grip, Mila. It's just Jace. And maybe that's the problem. He's probably seen more girls naked that I can count on my fingers, who are prettier and skinnier than me. Now I'm kind of regretting my decision.

"Are you coming or what?" Jace says, sticking his head out of the shower. 

Even though he has shampoo in his hair, he looks better than ever. That doesn't help with my confidence, but I know that it's now or never. Even though I have my arms crossed, trying to hide as much of my body as I can, I can already feel Jace's eyes roaming it.

"Yeah" I say uneasily, closing the shower curtain again.

I try not to overthink, and finally take off my bra as well as my underwear.  Once again I cross my arms over my chest, and step into the shower on the opposite side from where Jace was sticking his head out seconds ago. My back is facing him, my cheeks are still hot and my heart is about to jump out of my chest.
