"I'm locked in the a bathroom with no where to go.
I'm locked in the a bathroom and I stubbed my fucking toe.
I'm locked in the bathroom and I know for sure,
That I've been here for four hours-
"SOMEBODY OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!!!!!!!"
Ellie screamed her ass off. She was so bored that she had to keep herself entertained somehow. Making up a song in the moment? Seemed like a good idea at the time. Now it kept repeating in her brain, making her ears pound. She screamed again.
"Help!"
She wrapped her towel around her tighter. The one time she forgot to grab her clothes. The first time her mother stepped out of the house since her dad died and she had to accidentally break the lock on the door.
She walked up to the mirror. At least she had her makeup and other stuff in the bathroom. At least she looked presentable. She laughed at herself and shook her head. When someone came to rescue her, at least she'd look pretty. She turned and sat on the counter, her arms wrapped around her.
Ellie already checked out the window in the bathroom. She was on the second story and the tree branch adjacent to it was too thin to use, even if she weren't wearing a towel. Damnit.
She turned to look out the window again. Only this time, she paused. Well at least she got to see the new neighbor. And he was FINE! Damn. The man had an ass!
He turned the shower on and hopped in. She turned around and sighed.
She didn't even have her cell phone to call work and tell them she was going to be late! Ugh.
She sat down on the toilet and decided to do her nails. She painted each toe one by one a dark red-purple. She leaned back and admired her work. She put the nail polish down and walked around the bathroom, trying to dry them off. She looked up because she felt like she was being watched. The hot next door neighbor was staring at her.
He smiled at her and waved.
Awkward.
She waved back hesitantly and he opened the window. She did the same, thinking, hey maybe the new neighbor could help.
"Hi, there! I'm Cameron. What's your name?"
"My name? I'm Ellie."
"You look a little lost."
She smiled a little.
"I broke the lock on my door and I can't get out."
She could tell he was trying really hard not to laugh at her.
"You locked yourself in your bathroom?"
"Yes I did. Just laugh. Get it over with."
He tried for a second to hold it in and then threw his head back and laughed. His laugh was deep and sexy. She shivered with awareness.
