Love is Blindness

Chapter 11; Following

I woke up the next morning to a quiet room. I looked at the clock and noticed that it was already 11:30. I turned my body around to find that Chris was gone. He must have went to practice. I stood up and walked to the bathroom to see if he was there but he wasn't. I walked back to the beds and saw a tray of delicious breakfast foods on the opposite bed. There was a note on top of it. I picked it up to read it.

Hannah,

If I am still not here when you wake up just know that I am at practice. I didn't want to wake you up. I should be back at around 12:30 to bring you down to lunch with the boys. I also thought you would be hungry so here are some of your favorite breakfast foods. I can't wait to see you when I get back!

Love, Chris

The last part of the note made me feel all warm inside. I looked at the clock. I had an hour before he gets back. I grabbed the tray and brought it to my bed. I started with the chocolate chip pancakes then the cheesy eggs. I finished with the sausages and drank down the milk.

I checked the clock again. 45 minutes. I walked into the bathroom and started the shower. I walked back to the bed and grabbed the tray and placed it outside my door. I then walked to the CD player Chris had used yesterday and put my 'Shower tunes' CD in the player. I pressed play and began taking my clothes off, leaving them on the floor. I grabbed the player and walked into the bathroom.

As I placed the player down I noticed how tan I was again. My face was tan but then my entire torso was white. A V- shaped tan line went from my collar bone down to about 3/4 of my chest. My arms were all tan and most of my legs since I wore shorts.

I jumped into the shower as the song Wheel in the Sky by Journey came on. I sang and showered for about 30 minutes. I really should practice taking faster showers but showering is one of the things I love to do, especially when I listen to music at the same time.

I stepped out and wrapped a white towel around my wet body. I grabbed my comb and began to brush my long hair.

I turned the music off and walked out of the bathroom, the dry air was so much easier to breath in but I got cold. I turned the corner and jumped into the air with a small scream.

"Hannah, oh my gosh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" Chris apologized.

"Huh, it's okay, I just wasn't expecting to see you here," I laughed. "How was practice?"

"It was boring, you know, without you there."

I smiled at his comment but then again everything he said made me smile. He walked over to me and gave me a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around his torso and rested my head on his chest. We stood like that for a few minutes, listening to each others breathing. I suddenly felt my towel start to slip down my body so I quickly pulled myself away from him and grabbed the towel right before it fell from my body. I could feel myself blushing. My face felt hot.

"I should get dressed so we can go to lunch. You're probably starving!" I began to walk away but Chris put his hands on my hips and pulled me back to him, gluing his chest to my back. He wrapped his arms around my torso. I began laughing and trying to pull away but his strong arms wouldn't let me move.

"Let me go!"

"No." I was freezing! I wanted to get into my sweats. I kept trying and trying to get away from him until I felt his warm lips on the side of my neck. My legs became weak and he was holding me up now. I lifted my arms up and wrapped them around his neck. I turned my head so he was now kissing my lips. I managed to turn my body around and continued to kiss him.

I broke away from him.

"Enough! I'm getting dressed!" I walked over to my suitcase and pulled out my purple sweats, bra, and underwear. I noticed him looking at what I had in my hands but I couldn't tell what exactly.
