Tripping and falling... in love

10 PSYCH!

Vani stared at RC who was coming out of the washroom on her dorm floor. He wasn't wearing any clothes and only had a towel precariously tied low around his hips.

She lost all rational thoughts and couldn't take her eyes off of his incredibly naked body. He hadn't noticed her standing at the top of the stairs since she was frozen in place she wasn't making any noise. He was looking at his phone and adjusting his hold on his shower caddy when he approached her. His wet hair hung like a curtain blocking her view of his face but she didn't care. She actually liked that his hair was a little too long. With each step he took her heart thumped loudly in her chest. She wanted to talk to him, actually she wanted to run her hands over his body and help him dry his hair, and smell him. She was stuck. 

His cold demeanor and short curt words before they had left for the holidays rammed full force into her brain as she watched him cross the hall, he was almost right beside her when her brain turned back on and she remembered how confusing this guy was. one minute he was saying he wanted to take her out and the next he said he wouldn't even be talking to her in the New year?

"Pffttt Fuck him then." She whispered to herself and went to finally leave the stairs, but as was custom for her she started moving, she slipped. She flung out her hands and caught herself before she actually fell down the stairs; unfortunately she was now holding RC's bare arm with one and her other flailing hand had sent his phone and shower caddy sprawling across the foyer. She was nose to nose with him. 

"Hey!" He hollered startled by the sudden attack. He looked up and broke out into a wide grin showing his perfect teeth. 

"Sorry! I-" He cut her off.

"Tripped?" He looked at her with amusement and she couldn't read if he was laughing at her or not.

"Yeah, sorry." She said letting her hair fall into a curtain hiding her red face. She wondered why she never wore her long hair down, it made a great shame shield. 

"You are one clumsy girl Evie." RC said making her flushed cheeks burn. 

"Yeah, I know." She said looking at his belongings spread all over the big circular landing. 

"You ok now?" He asked and she nodded. "Can I have my arm back?" He asked and her face shot up and noticed that she still clung to him. 

"Fuck! Sorry! I should help you clean this up!" She dropped to her knees so quickly and the bruise from earlier shot pain through her making her yelp and fall. She grabbed at what ever she could to prevent herself from landing on her face. The only thing with in arms reach, however, was the towel covering his naked body.

Vani had no time to think and she grabbed on to the towel unintentionally tugging it loose in her fall. RC's quick reflexes caught the towel before anything was exposed but he also caught a fist full of her hair bringing her cheek against the newly exposed skin of his thigh. He had a hold of her hair and she couldn't move, but if he were to let go of her hair, he would risk dropping his towel.

She wanted to just cut her hair off and run away but that was not going to work. Instead from her awkward position on her one knee and one hand she used the other hand the sort out the tangled mess that was her hair. She gently removed her hair from his hand, quickly gathered up the shower supplies from the floor and stood up. She handed the refilled caddy back to him and turned to bolt and go to her room to die from embarrassment in peace. He caught her arm as she tried to maneuver past. 

"Hey, it's ok. Just chill. If you wanted to see what was under there you could just ask." He teased with a wink.

Her face was on fire. She didn't want to look at him for fear that she might spontaneously combust.
