Heart Strings

i sincerely apologize for any future typographical or grammatical errors.

I didn't realize how cold I was before until i stepped into the steaming water. All my senses and tense muscles relax. A small sigh of glee escapes my lips and i dip my body further into the tub.

I don't know how long i spent inside the tub but by the time i feel my skin start to wrinkle, i get out, letting the soapy water drain and rinse my body with hot running water. I rap my body with Kyle's extra towel, leaving the bathroom with the sweet smell of his vanilla and mint shampoo.

"ah! Praise Jesus you're done! " i hear him before i see him. He's lying on his back with one arm behind his head and his legs crossed, dropped his phone down once I stepped into the room. "i will never understand you women, how long does it take just to have your bath? " i roll my eyes "you know what? Don't answer that. "

I reach for the small electric hair dryer on top the bedside cabinet- Yes, my best friend is one of those guys. Mainly because of me though. I spend too much time in his home it slowly became mine. I even have my own room here but i never really use it.- and take a sit in front of the small wall mirror, trying to fix my hair.

"let me "Kyle says from behind me, taking the dryer from my grasp and doing my hair for me. I look at him through the mirror to catch him already looking at me with an emotion i can't quite decipher. " i love your hair, have i ever told you that before?"

"only a bazillion times "i chuckle and he continues to play and massage my tick dark curls while blow drying them.

He keeps staring at me, no other words leaving his mouth and i just stare right back. I'm pretty sure my hair has already dried completely by now but i don't say anything but grin widely at him. A grin that drops the moment i realized where his eyes suddenly lowered to with a dirty smirk on his pretty lips.

I groan loudly pulling my towel up to cover the little exposed cleavage muttering a not so low "perv " he laughs loudly, turning off the dryer and grabbing for one of my many jasmine hair lotions.

I didn't even realize i was still in my towel and nothing under until now "not that one! "i say, immediately grabbing it from him and replace it with his. He lifts a brow at me but doesn't say anything and does as i ask him.

"so, "he says grabbing for a pair of my jeans and tee I'm sure he went and got for me while i was busy drowning in the bathroom after we are done combing and styling my hair that now smells alot like him. "i got you these, nothing extravagant just how you like it. "

I smile taking them from his grasp. "although picking your underwear was the more tricky part. -" he continues.

Huh?

"-i mean, don't you have any lingeries" he looks at me with all seriousness no hint of a smile on his face and I'm suddenly feeling hot all over. Again. "anyway none of the ones i saw where fitting, they were just too plain, so i went and got you some new ones myself and i couldn't pick between these" he motions towards three different pairs of lacy underwear neatly arranged at a corner of the queen sized bed.

Oh my God! My eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.

I groan loudly feeling really exposed "Kyle! "

"what? " he looks a bit panicked "you think they won't fit? You don't like them? Jeff helped pick them out, he said you were going to love them, i actually thought you would! "

Jeff? Jeffrey Montgomery helped pick my underwear? Oh God of mother Mary! Kill me now!

"Kyle! "

"huh? "

"get out "

"huh? "

"go away Kyle "

"you know i could just go back to the store and get you some new pairs if you don't like -"

"get the fuck out Kyle! "

I finally drop my hands from my face and give him a glare that could send him straight to hell. He studies me for a second until realization hit him and he smiles warmly at me. "okay. "

He walks away and i finally feel like i can breathe. Why in fudge's name would he... Urgh!

I look down at the material and and my blush only intensifies at the thought of Kyle going from rack to rack trying to pick the right size of lingeries for me.

What does he mean mine are too plain?

Sometimes he makes me want to strangle him and then crawl up into a hole and never come out ever again at the same time.

I walk down to the kitchen after getting dressed and I'm greated with the smell of bacon and eggs. My stomach growls and i quickly hurry over to meet Kyle and Jeff laughing about something they're both looking at on his phone.

Jeff notices me first and a mischievous smirk plays on his lips. "morning "His dark hair a mess and grey eyes staring intently at me.

"morning "i reply politely knowing his greeting is nothing polite with the way he's looking at me.

Kyle looks up and points me a plate full with bacon and eggs with toast, my mouth waters.

"figured you might be hungry "

"thanks " i say taking a sit on the slab stool and digging in savouring the taste in my mouth. Kyle can't cook for shit, but he's amazing at making breakfast serves.

My phone chimes in my pocket and i pull it out to see a text from an unknown number.

Have you made up your mind sunshine?

There's only one person that ever calls me sunshine and i mentally smack my self in the head for forgetting.

Me :yes.

Douche (Finn) :well?

Me :ill do it

Douche : i knew you'll come around. ;) I'll be at yours in a few.

Me : no! Not today, I'm busy during the weekend.

No reply. I groan.

Me : I'm not in my house Morton! You won't find me if you go over.

"who are you texting? "Kyle asks watching me.

"Finn "

"Finn Morton? "Jeff pipes in. I just shrug and go back to eating my breakfast.

Kyle has a deep crease between his brows and is looking at me like he's trying to figure out something "why are you texting Finn? "he crosses his arms.

"i accepted the offer " his frown deepens.

"are you sure lex? "

I nod my head sighing softly. Well, it's just like Alice said, it's inevitable, i can't escape him if he wants to get to me that bad, so i rather do it gaining something out of it.
