Eighteen

Freddie pressed his hands into the shower tiles and let the water pour over his head. He hadn’t gotten much sleep with Serena beside him. He had lied to her. He did feel something for her, but it was something that couldn’t happen. He needed to build a wall between them, one that couldn’t be torn down by the glint in her eyes when she smiled. It had taken all of his will power not to make love to her last night, but theirs was a business relationship. Or, at least that’s what he kept telling himself. If sex got mixed into the equation, one or both of them was going to get hurt. ‘Serena has enough heartache in her life right now,’ he thought to himself, trying to convince himself that her heart was the one that needed protecting – not his.

He stepped out of the shower and wrapped one of his beach towels around his waist. He lathered up his shaving cream and patted it onto the stubble on his face. His brother Logan rocked a mountain man beard, and as much as Freddie wanted one of his own, his was too blonde, too patchy, and instead of making him look grizzled and older, his made him look like a pubescent boy who hadn’t learned to shave yet.

He heard a light tap on the door and turned off the water.

“Yes?”

“Are you going to be much longer?” Serena asked from the other side of the door.

“Just a few minutes,” he replied and turned on the faucet.

She tapped on the door again, “I have to pee.”

He shut off the water and wiped his hands on the towel wrapped around his waist. He opened up the door and met her eyes.

“Sorry,” she said, shifting back and forth on the balls of her feet – a pee dance.

“It’s okay, I’ll finish in the kitchen,” he said and held up the razor. After he finished shaving in the kitchen sink, he reached for the tea towel to dry off his face but realized that even for a bachelor like him, using a tea towel was really uncouth. He pulled up the corner of his towel to pat off his face, then practically jumped out of his skin as Serena’s voice rang out.

“Freddie, do you have dental floss?”

Was she a ninja? He hadn’t even heard her come out of the bathroom. He turned to face her while continuing to dry off his face. “There should be some in the medicine cabinet,” he said.

Her eyes went wide as saucers and she whipped around to face the bedroom. That’s when Freddie realized that his manhood was exposed in its full, fresh out of cold-water glory. He dropped the damp towel and it fell heavily back in place over his junk. Serena flew into the bathroom, unable to look at him.

“Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to… um, it was an accident,” he said through the closed bathroom door. When she didn’t respond, he continued, “I’m going to make breakfast, what do you like?” he asked.
