Chapter 26
“If you shave any more your face will be more hairless than a baboon’s butt,” I snicker, leaning against the hospital bathroom door.
Coda turns his cold eyes from the mirror to mine, his lips pressed together.
“That’s what I’m kinda aiming for,” he replies snippily, lifting his chin to run the razor down the side of his face.
My heart takes off at the sight and instantly, I think about how okay I would be watching him do this every morning-watching his eyes narrow in concentration, his wrist flicking expertly, the flash of skin his neck bears-
Coda sighs heavily, his eyebrows furrowed in thought as he sits on the edge of the bathtub.
He sits there for a long while, too engrossed in his thoughts until I snap him out of it.
“Are you trying to recreate the shower scene from Psycho in your mind or are you getting a kick out of just sitting there?” I ask, bored.
“You,” Coda says as he reaches for a bottle of shampoo. “Can leave.”
I glower at him, stubbornly standing firm. “I don’t want to leave.”
He stares back at me, his gaze unwavering0 the intense look in them nearly making me squirm before he finally shrugs.
“Fine,” he tells me. “You can stay.”
I feel a moment of glee and triumph as I prepare to retort something witty but everything leaves my mind the moment he shrugs off his shirt.
It falls to the floor and I just gape at him, incredulous.
He stands, his thumbs tucking underneath the waistband of his jeans but before he pulls down, he glances up at me.
“If you wanted to watch me strip, all you had to do was ask,” he tells me seriously, undoing his belt buckle.
I turn around so fast I smack the door with my face as I turn around to look away from his toned body, the nerves in my body burning.
“Okay, Okay,” I repeat, stammering. “I’m leaving.”
I keep one hand over my eyes as I blindly reach for the bathroom knob, stumbling out.
I can hear Coda laugh, the deep sound making me want to turn around and kiss him, kiss him like the night at that shady hotel.
“I’m just kidding Hazel, jeez,” he calls out, my face burning. “Come back, I need your help with this.”
“You need help with showering?!” I exclaim, the room unbearably hot.
“Just with washing my hair, I don’t want to get my body wet yet because I need that stupid bag over my shoulder,” he tells me, his voice loud even inside the bathroom.
“You’re naked, you pedophile,” I accuse, even though I couldn’t see him.
“Just my shirt off, I was just teasing you with the pants Reed. I’m trying to keep this PG rated,” he tells me, his voice amused.
