The sound of speedy water dropping on the floor stops. Riley walks to the mirror by the sink and runs his hand through his wet strands. He wipes his hair and steps out of the washroom. His eyes widen to see Aiden looking at him.

Shit! I forgot that there is one washroom here.

Wait! Isn’t she surprised? Shouldn’t she scream and turn around with heated cheeks instead of watching me ... Why the hell am I heating up?

A hot rush of blood creeps over his neck as he notices her eyes examine his bare body.

“Seems like you are built up, but don’t know how to use your strength.” She says.

His lips parted at her statement... What’s wrong with her?

“Don’t you feel anything?” He frowns. “I’m naked in front of you.”

My goodness... What did I just say? Don’t you feel anything? My brain has gone crazy...

“What should I feel?” She snarls. “It’s not like your pants are down,” she walks past him to the washroom.

His already enormous eyes get bigger... Did I hear it right? Was that supposed to be a joke?

He stomps to the sofa and drops himself down as he rubs the back of his neck. His mind coming up with numerous questions.

How can she act all cool after I kissed her that night... I was flustered when I recalled it, but she isn’t affected at all... How can she be like nothing happened?

The ordered takeout are arranged on the coffee table in the hall. He sits on the carpeted floor and waits until she walks out of the room. The beating of his heart pumps faster when Aiden walks out. The gray knee-length culottes display her legs. The red V-necked t-shirt goes well with her skin tone. Wet strands of hair kissing the side of her cheeks. His eyes are fixed on her as she sits in front of him with crossed legs. Immediately, she unboxes the containers and devours a big bite from the bun.

“Aren’t you eating?” She asks.

He gapes at her for a little longer. She tucks the wet strands behind her ears and looks at him.

“Your hair is still wet.” He says.

“Is it?” Her eyebrows meet as she touches her hair. “I wiped it well,” she shrugs and continues to eat.

Riley rushes to the room and grabs the towel which he used. He stops behind her and falls to his knees. His pacing heart pounds out of his ribcage as he moves his hands closer to her head. He stares at her hair, curious to know what countenance is playing on her face.

“You will catch a cold if you don’t dry your hair.” He says.

His actions stop, his body freezes. She holds his hands and looks up, their breaths hitching on each other’s skin.

“I don’t fall sick easily,” she utters in a low voice.

The forever aloof face for once looks different when she stares at him.

Buzz!

“Ow,” Riley scowls as he crouches himself covering his nose. Her hard head knocked to his nose when she moved. He literally saw a star.
