New Beginnings ✅

17. His House

I wake up on Monday morning with Josh's arm draped over my waist. I smile as I look down at him sleeping peacefully. I thought it would be weird sharing a bed with him but I actually hadn't slept this well since I lost Dean. "Hey Josh" I say softly. His eyes flutter open and his grip on my waist tightens.

"Hm?" he hums.

"If this whole thing between us works out, would be awful if I wanted to get a new place?" I ask softly.

"It's a little early for life conversations don't you think?" he chuckles.

"I guess. I was just thinking about you being here. I figure that can't be easy for you" I whisper as I push his hair back.

"It's a little weird" he admits. "But I think it's still a little early in the relationship to be buying a house together" he adds making me chuckle.

"Maybe a little" I agree softly. "I just don't want to make you uncomfortable."

"I'm not" he assures me, "but I don't think I'd be able to do anything other than sleep in this bed" he admits. I nod in agreement.

"I don't blame you" I reply. "We'll just have to sneak away to your place" I smirk. He chuckles, rubbing my back.

"Or my car."

"Or the couch" I add making him laugh as he kisses the top of my head.

"I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves babe" he admits.

"Yea?" I ask, pushing back and moving to climb out of bed. "You need a shower before work?" I ask as I walk towards me en suite bathroom. He quirks an eyebrow at me.

"You think that's a good idea?" he questions. "Because speaking as a guy who is extremely attracted to you in a sexual way I don't think this is a good idea."

"I said nothing about touching" I reply as I lean against the doorframe. "Come on, you've been here all weekend. I'm obviously doing better, come take a shower."

"I will. Once you're not in it."

"Fine" I huff playfully as I turn around. "Suit yourself." I purposely leave the door open as I strip down and bend over to turn on the water. I step into the shower and let the water cascade over me. My eyes flutter shut but abruptly open when I hear footsteps.

"This is such a bad idea" he mutters making me giggle as he opens the stall door and steps in behind me. I turn around and take my bottom lip between my teeth as I look at him, not allowing my eyes to wander.

"Here" I smile, reaching for the loofa and handing it to him. "There's some shampoo over there. It was Dean's but it's not like he's gonna use it" I shrug. He looks at me worriedly and I roll my eyes. "It's shampoo Josh. Millions of other men use the same stuff. It's fine. Seriously."

"Okay" he nods making me smile as I turn back around. I reach for my shampoo, turning to find Josh with his back turned to me. I laugh, shaking my head in amusement.

"You're gonna need water to rinse your hair" I point out. He groans as he turns around and walks towards me. I step out of the way while I lather my hair and he rinses his and he does the same for me.

"You shouldn't complain so much about your body" he says finally making me snap my gaze onto him.

"What?" I ask confused.

"When we started talking again. You were complaining about your body. You shouldn't." A blush rises on my cheeks as I step closer to him.

"Yea?"
