patience is key

ch. 2

i thought about him as i walked home from work, blushing at the sweet thoughts. i missed his warm touch, it was different from everyone else's. his touch was welcoming and made me feel comfortable and secure. i should've talked to him. i sighed as i walked towards my dorm room. i unlocked the door, and went in. i didn't have a roommate since my last one was expelled.. but i was told i was going to get one soon. it's unfortunate that i'm by myself though, because i'm scared of the dark. i took my shoes off, and stripped away from my sweaty work clothes. i went to my closet and pulled out some pajamas when i suddenly heard footsteps approaching my door. it was already late, so this frightened me. i quickly put on my pajamas before tiptoeing into my bathroom, where i felt the most safe. i hid behind the shower curtains quietly and listened. my breathing was uneasy and my whole body was trembling in fear. i left my phone on my bed, so i couldn't contact my brother. i was screwed! i could hear my front door being unlocked and opened. i covered my mouth with both of my hands because my breathing was heavy. my eyes swell, i was so scared i started to cry. "anyone home?"
the voice sounded familiar. the figure turned on all the lights and eventually found me hiding in the bathtub. it was him. the guy that made my heart beat out of my chest everytime i saw him.
