Avoid

Chapter 20

Today I only had three hours at uni to get through. So I grabbed a clean towel, clean underwear and his shower gel. As much as I'm going to avoid him I still keep hold of his shower gel and I don't dare leave it in the bathroom incase he takes it back.
I headed to the bathroom and was just about to turn on the shower when I thought I heard a groan. I paused listening carefully.
Oh. My. God. I heard a low deep groan only just but I knew it had to be Mateo as his room was right next to the bathroom. I'd never heard him moan, only women. Did he have someone in there? Thoughts of him with someone else probably Lucy aggravated me. I shook my head to get back to the task ahead.

The water felt good against my skin, I closed my eyes rubbing the shower gel over my body. I couldn't help my mind wondering pretending it was him, his big strong hands rubbing over my body. I rinsed off the shower gel then grabbed my coconut shampoo and washed my hair. I dried my myself off and put my bright red lacy bra and french knickers on. Dam I forgot my clothes, I face palmed myself. So I wrapped the towel back around me.
Just as I was coming out of the bathroom, Mateo was coming out of his room in just some black shorts looking flushed. My eyes wondering down over his stunning physique, I'd love to explore properly and study every inch of him.
No! No! No! What is wrong with me, walk, move anything Lacey just get away from him before you do or say anything you shouldn't.
"You done in there weirdo." He pointed with his chin to the bathroom behind me.
I nodded slowly I couldn't speak.

When I finally started to walk down the corridor I could feel my towel slipping down, my hands were full-ish I had my dirty underwear and pyjamas, and I also clung to his shower gel which I'm glad he hadn't noticed because I'm sure he'd of teased me.
    I reached for the handle and my towel came undone exposing the whole back of me, I gasped quietly holding the stuff against my chest to keep the towel from completely dropping.
I heard Mateo's sharp intake of breath, I looked over my shoulder hoping he hadn't seen but of course he had. He stood still in the same spot I'd left him with his arms folded across his defined chest biting his lip with a mischievous naughty look on his gorgeous face. His eye brows were raised and he looked impressed? Maybe? I don't know.
But he had now seen the back of me in my bra and my ass in my red see through knickers and obviously these type of knickers show your bum cheeks anyway. I may as well have not had any knickers on!

"Enjoying the view?" I was scrambling for the door handle but was flustered.
He nodded then stalked towards the me like prey. Shit! This can't be good. He put his hand on the handle and his other on the top of my back gliding his hand down the curve of my spine sending a shiver through my body, this time I took a sharp intake of breath. His hand carried on over my arse and stopped there. I lolled my head to the side on his shoulder and sighed "Hmm."
He opened the door and I lifted my head off him. He gently pushed my bum into my room.
"You smell a lot better now you smell of my shower gel." Giving me a wicked smile.
My jaw dropped open the cheeky bugger!
"You have a great ass, by the way." Winked and walked off back to the bathroom.

   Wow. Did he just compliment my ass I turned to look in my full length mirror. I guess my ass is ok it's big and curvy. I think that's officially my first compliment from him and more than likely gonna be my only one. So I'll cherish that.
I dried my hair and braided the front to keep it off my face. I put my black denim high waisted skirt and black strappy vest on, with my white trainers.

I got to the kitchen and everyone was already there. They had made a breakfast feast!
  "You look good this morning Lacey! Help yourself to breakfast it needs eating." Jason said.
Mateo had his fork mid way to his mouth stopping when he clocked me entering the kitchen. He coughed clearing his throat.
"Thanks Jason."
"You in today Lacey?" Georgie asked.
"Yeah but just for three hours."
"Well this afternoon me and Lisa are going shopping if you want to come?"
   Hyper aware that Mateo was in the room I didn't know what to say but I said the truth.
"I'm actually meeting Danny for some food, I will another time though."
Mateo put his fork down and stood up walking over to where I was without looking at me putting his plate in the sink. He wondered off back to his room.
"Oh okay yeah another time."
"Has Lucy gone?" I asked.
"Lucy? No she went last night everyone did."
Oh so was he alone in his room?
"Oh right it's just I was going to ask her something...Wow who did that?" Noticing an amazing drawing of a gorgeous little girl and Georgie.

"It's brilliant isn't it! Mateo drew it for me as it's my mums birthday so I figured she'd like this of me and my sister, going to put it in a frame."

  I couldn't get the words to process in my brain straight away.
"Mateo drew it?"
She nodded beaming.
"Wow! It's incredible...I didn't realise he could draw like that."
"Yeah he does some amazing things at uni. He has a tiny sketch pad he sometimes carries around with him to catch moments or things he'd like to draw. He also has one that he doesn't like anyone to touch." She laughed.
"I dread to think what's in there."
"Cool I would of never thought, he's full of surprises. It's brilliant. Anyway unfortunately I have to scoot now, see you later?"
"Yeah see you later Lacey!" They all chimed.

I sat in my lesson thinking a lot of Mateo intrigued at how talented he was. I'd love to see more drawings. If he'd been nicer to me at the beginning I would of known more about him and that he loves to draw. Hayley was moaning which brought me back to here and now in my lesson than thoughts of Mateo. Hayley had a hangover and looked pretty rough today.
"Is lesson over yet?" She whined.
I laughed.. "Five more minutes girl."
