By the time I woke up, Seth was gone. My eyes stayed planted on the side where he had slept last night. It felt weird. Weirder than the time I woke up in his bed.

I couldn't exactly say he slept here willingly, it was out of sympathy. Feeling his presence last night, made it easier for me to fall asleep. I felt safe and that... that felt really good.

I frowned when I noticed the time. Great I slept in late... again. Honestly, working with Seth was beginning to turn me into a damn slacker. I pushed myself out of the bed biting my lower lip.

My room had a small scent of Seth and... I did not mind it. Pushing myself up, I eyed the room, looking for my maid outfit. I had thought I left it on the chair.

My brow furrowed when I noticed paper left on the chair. Walking over, I took it up in my hands carefully and couldn't help but sigh when I read it. Of course;

No working today.

Be back later

Seth really didn't need to do this. Working would take my mind off this anyway but no doubt he had taken my uniform. Okay, well first things first, I needed a shower. A hot one.

I made my way to the bathroom after grabbing a clean towel from the hot press. The last shower I had, I rubbed my skin so hard with the sponge it had turned raw red.

Not a good look.

That's what I was going to do.

It made me feel... clean... even though it hurt.

I pulled off the large top and underwear, turning on the shower. Taking a step in I couldn't help but scream. Usually, I walked into a hot shower but now it was pretty fudging cold. I hopped out with a shiver, fixing the temperature.

After testing it with my leg, I climbed in and let out a relaxed groan. The hot water burned my skin but I ignored the pain. I felt this needed to be a punishment, to clean my body.

Nothing would clean it though.

I hadn't thought about it. Until I saw him again.

I screamed when the shampoo got in my eye of course, and thanked Seth wasn't here to hear my pained war cry. I looked up, rinsing and protecting my poor eye and finally the pain dimmed down.

I rinsed the suds and then began with the conditioner, all the while, the water turned my skin a shade redder. When I couldn't take it anymore, I turned it down to a warm temperature. I hadn't realized my body was so tense until the warm water soaked me.

I stayed in the shower a while after I cleansed my body and rubbed it down with the berry body wash. When my hands began looking like prunes, I decided it was time to get out.

I wrapped the towel around me, tying it to hide my body. I felt smooth as a baby's bottom after shaving everywhere yesterday.

Yes. Everywhere.

I don't know if I was the only one but once I shaved and it looked perfection, I enjoyed feeling the soft smooth skin. I pulled down the toilet seat, grabbing another towel, drying my hair violently. I put more force into it than I should have.

I was angry.

Finally I stopped, and luckily my hair had stopped dripping. I stayed on the toilet seat for a while though, ignoring the sore numbing feel that was beginning to develop in my butt.

I liked Seth.

The thought appeared in my head. When I saw a cute guy, obviously I'd be attracted to him but not a proper crush. Not where I wanted to kiss them and hug them. Where it hurt when they got hurt, where you wanted to be with them a lot.
