I wake up the next morning I go to the bathroom and shuts and locks the bathroom door. I strip and stares at myself in the mirror. The hickey Masky gave me sits on my neck and there is burnt hand prints on my breast, hips, shoulders, thighs and right calf. Tears well up in my eyes as I press against them. "Fuck, that fucking hurts." I hiss. I hear someone enter my room. "Vesper? What hurts?" EJ asks. "Uh, nothing! I just stubbed my toe is all." I say nervously. "I don't believe you. Unlock the door." He says. "Nope, not happening because I am getting in the shower so you can bite me." I say and turns on the water. I climb into the shower and closes the shower curtain. I stand there silently listening. After a while I start washing myself thinking EJ had left until I hear the bathroom door open. "What the hell, EJ?!" I snap. "You wouldn't unlock the door and I am worried about you." He says. I hear his footsteps approach the shower. "Fuck off! I told you I just stubbed my toe. Leave me alone." I snap. EJ grabs the shower curtain and I curl up into a ball hiding my burns as he yanks it back. Hot water pelts against my back as I stay in my ball. "Vesper. I'm not playing these games." He growls. "Neither am I. Fuck off." I snap. EJ snarls lowly. "Fine." He walks away and I hear him slam the bathroom door. I stand up and closes the curtain again and quickly finishes my shower. I hop out and towel dries myself then pulls on my clothes. I head downstairs for breakfast and hums softly. I see Toby and Jeff talking while sitting at the table. I sit next to them. "Hey, whatcha talking about?" I tilt my head. "What did you do to EJ? He seems pissed." Jeff says. I huff and crosses my arms. "He was being an ass and I told him to piss off." I say. Toby snorts and shakes his head. "EJ doesn't give up when it comes to those he loves. So if I were you I would be careful." Toby says. "Thanks Toby." I sigh and rubs my face.
Sorry for the long wait for a new chapter. I just haven't had any thoughts and inspiration for this. But I am slowly getting myself back in order. Nom Nom
