Your ns Then her cheeks redden like she just realized what she said, and she looks away

I laugh, because good God that shit’s funny "I made chicken," I say

She looks toward the kitchen and then down the hallway Do I have tier beneath her eye and I can see that she’s been crying

"Yes, of course," I say I back out of her doorway "Do you need anything?" I ask as she starts to walk down the hall

She turns back to ns: Towel?

I point like she can see them from the hallway "Under the counter"

Thank you

Then she disappears into the bathroom I stand there and listen to the sound of the water as she turns it on I walk back by her roo I’ll have to call maintenance about that Maybe the apart fros in the shower? Never would have ier and listen, but then I suddenly feel like a voyeur, even though I can’t see shit

I wish I could see shit I can just i down her body, straight down the path where I’d love for o Her brown hair is probably pushed back fro down her back like a waterfall So over her shoulders, the ends touching the swells of her breasts…

I glance down I’ve gotten hard standing here thinking about her naked The water turns off, so I scurry like the rat I am back into the kitchen I can’t have her catch me like this, because ination

She has brushed her hair, but it’s wet, and her T-shirt is da I stand there and stare at her for a minute, because I’ve never seen her in a pair of shorts

She glances down at her attire and stares at ns

I shakeDa I’ve ever wanted "A formal dinner?" I ask "No, why?" I look at the plates I’ve set on lasses filled with ice

I was thinking I ht be underdressed

I chuckle "I’d like to see you in a lot less," I say Oh, fuck Did I say that out loud? Apparently I did, because her face flushes "I mean, you’re fine" Seriously fine Like the finest woman I have ever seen "How tall are you?" I ask

I hobble with one crutch to the oven, where I had put in some cupcakes to bake before I called her for dinner I take them out and set them on the counter
