Trapped

Clothing *Chapter 5*

The next morning, I wake up in a bed. I slowly sit up and look around. It looks as if I was in Shane's room. I get up and look to see that there are a toothbrush and toothpaste along with a hairbrush on the other side of the bed with a note reading:

Dear Riley,

I went out to the store. I got your clothing size from Ryan so I'm going thrift shopping so that I won't spend too much money on stuff you might not like. I had a friend come over to make sure you don't have a panic attack or so that you don't go out and get lost. His name is Eugene, and don't worry, he's gay so he won't try anything with you. I'll see you soon. Xoxo - Shane.

I smile and walk into the bathroom and do my business. Once I'm done, I walk out into the living room to see a guy laying on the floor. "You good?" I ask. He quickly stands up and looks at me.

"Hi! I'm-" he starts.

"Eugene," I trail off walking into the kitchen. I open the fridge and start looking for food. "Does Shane have food to eat?" I ask.

"Yeah, there should be some waffles in there," Eugene says walking in.

"Thanks," I say. I pull them out and put them in the microwave.

"So, um. I'm gay," he says.

"Straight," I say.

"You know, Shane was right. You are very beautiful. Take it as a compliment from me, a flirt from Shane," Eugene says, "He doesn't just throw comments like that out there." I pull the food from the microwave and take a bite of a waffle.

"He called me beautiful?" I ask.

"Yeah... Oh! You're blushing! Spill the tea!" Eugene exclaims.

"I mean, Shane is really hot," I say.

"You are not as shy as Shane said you might be," Eugene says.

"I'm slowly becoming more confident with myself," I say.

"Girl get him," Eugene says. I roll my eyes and get a glass of water. "Come on, tell me how you feel about him."

"Ok, yes, he is hot. But-" I get cut off.

"Who's hot?" Shane asks. I choke on my water and Eugene starts laughing at me. I pick a waffle up and throw it at Eugene.

"Jackson from last night's chick flick," I cover-up.

"He was pretty good looking. Even though I'm not gay, Jackson makes me gay" Shane says handing me three bags.

"Shane!" I exclaim, "Please tell me this is all not just clothes!"

"Sorry, but it is," he says, "You and Eugene can go through them. I have to write a paper." Eugene and I nod and head off to Shane's bedroom to go through them.

About an hour later, Eugene is going through my clothes and I'm laying on Shane's bed, spread out like a starfish. I sigh and Eugene rolls his eyes. "Ok, that's the end of them," Eugene says.

"Finally!" I exclaim.

"You barely even went through them!" he says.

"I know, but after three dresses, I got tired," I say honestly. Shane walks in and looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

"You good?" he asks.

"I don't like going through clothes and after three dresses I was done," I say.

"Understandable," Shane says. I look over at Eugene and throw a pillow at him.

"Oh my god! Eugene stop!" Eugene was wiggling his eyebrows.

"What?" he asks innocently.

"Get out..." I groan.

"I'd rather sit here and watch you two talk," he says. I throw my phone at him and he catches it.

"Put your number in and leave!" I say, laughing. Eugene does so and leaves.

"So, how do you like the clothes that you actually went through?" Shane asks.

"I like them. They're nice. I can tell which ones you picked out," I say.

"Is there any you don't want?" Shane asks.

"Just that one bag," I say pointing at a half-full trashbag. Shane nods and picks it up, taking it out of the room. I then get a text message on my phone. I look to see that Ryan texted me.

Me Ryan

Hey, what's up?

Not much... Why?

Just asking.

How is your trip with the gf?

Good.

I end the conversation there and walk out into the kitchen to see Shane looking through his cupboards. I lean against the counter and watch him. Shane turns around and jumps about a foot in the air. "I didn't hear you walk in," Shane says, holding his chest.

"Sorry," I say. Shane shakes his head and laughs.

"No, you're fine. Want to watch a movie?" he asks.

"Sure," I say. We grab some snacks and head out to the living room to watch some random nonsense movies.

I don't really have anything to say except stay safe, and vote. Thanks guys! Rock'N' Roll Buckaroo
