Shower

After a few minutes of deep thought, you decide that it would be bad for your health if Melody woke up and you reeked of pot. Especially on the morning after she was dumped by her boyfriend. You head to the window and toss your clothes out on the dry line to air out and head towards the bathroom. Forgetting the age of the pipes in your building, you turn on the water and step inside. The cold water hits you like a thousand needles.

“Ahhhh, FUCK THAT’S COLD!!!” You shout, forgetting that your roommate is sleeping. The water quickly warms up, due to the fact that it’s “Oh-Damn-Thirty in the morning” and no one else is using it. After the warmest shower you’ve ever had in this building, you wrap a towel around your head and head out to the bedroom. It takes all of three seconds for you to notice the pair of eyes staring at you through the semi-lit room.

“Forget you live with a roommate, did we?” Melody says as she gives your lower extremities a long look.

“I’m sorry Melody, I thought you were sleeping.” You say as you grab the towel off your head and wrap it around your body.

“Well, I WAS sleeping, until someone realized that the pipes in our building are older than fuck AND SCREAMED HIS HEAD OFF!!!” She shouts at you, not really meaning to be angry. Melody gives you one of her semi-smiles letting you know that she liked what she saw.

“I’m sorry about this. It’s just that I was over at Scott and Dirk’s and they were smoking up and I was covered in the stench. I got cleaned up, so you didn’t have to smell it.” You tell her.

“God, if you weren’t my best friend, I could so easily make you my bitch!!!” She snickers. “It’s okay, if I were in your shoes, I’d’ve done the same. Only I’d’ve been quieter. Now, go to bed!!!”

You move toward you bed as Melody rolls back over on her side. With a gentle tug, the towel ends up on the floor. The feeling of the night air on your skin makes you shiver a bit, but it’s not too bad. You quickly climb under the sheets, ignoring the feeling of someone watching you. After a long day, and a long night, you finally rest your head on your pillow and close your eyes.
