Saying Goodbye

chapter 38

"you want me to sit in my stink for an hour and fifteen minutes to take a shower instead of taking a shower now?" she questions.

"you can wear my clothes." i suggest.

she takes a deep breath. "fine, i'm on my way."

"great. i'll lay some clothes on my bed for you."

"mikey, i won't be there for an hour."

"i have to make sure i'm prepared." i shrug.

"ok. i'm coming, mikey."

"save it for later." i smile.

"goodbye."

she hangs up the phone. i laugh to myself.

my phone vibrates. i see a text from zeke.

zeke- the team is training all day monday and tuesday you down?

i shoot him a quick text back.

mikey- fasho

i grab a pair of boxers from my dresser and place them on my bed. i grab one of my shirts and put it beside my boxers. i put my phone on the charger and lay down on my bed.

(later)
the doorbell rings. i climb out of my bed and hurry downstairs.

"i got it, mom!" i yell.

i open the front door. kiara stands on the other side.

"hey mikey." she says. she walks inside.

"hey kiara." i smile.

"i'm taking a shower." she says.

she immediately walks upstairs. i smile and close the front door. i follow after her. as i walk into my room behind her, i notice her undressing herself. i close my door. she grabs the pair of boxers and my shirt that i laid on my bed. she walks in my bathroom, leaving the door open. i smile and hop onto my bed. i lean back against the headboard. i grab my phone off the charger.

"mikey!" kiara yells.

i walk into the bathroom. "yes?"

"i'm using your bodywash." she says.

"fine by me." i reply.

"you wanna join me?" she asks. she pops her head around the shower curtain.

"really kiara?" i question.

"yea. why not?" she shrugs.

"my mom is home. she's gonna hear you." i say.

"i never said anything about fucking." she says.

"mike!" mom yells.

"yea!" i yell back.

"i'm going to meet up with aunt jackie and dad's working today. don't be acting grown just cause you're home alone with kiara." she says.
