Chapter 19: Bubbles

DESMOND'S APARTMENT

POV DESMOND

The heat did nothing to dry my drenched socks. I was shivering the entire drive back to my place. I parked as close as I could to the elevator and made my way up to my apartment. I did get some strange looks in the elevator as people got off and on.

I pulled out my keys to unlock my door but realized it was already unlocked. I rolled my eyes and entered my apartment. "Nathaniel," I shouted, "get out of my apartment!" I heard the water running upstairs. I took off my socks and coat by the front door and ran up the stairs.

I opened the bathroom door and saw Nathaniel standing over my tub. He was putting petals and bath salt into the water.

"What are you doing?" I asked, standing by the door. I was still angry with him. I had just wanted to come home and sleep however much I could before I had to wake up for work.
