Chapter 65

Ben

I lay down on the bed, playing on my phone. I had my ear out listening in the shower. I didn't really have to worry that Angela would need my help, and she'd had all day today to recover from last night, but still. It was Sunday afternoon, almost time for us to leave, and she'd insisted on us taking separate showers.

Some of my friends had sent me messages since I'd disappeared the whole weekend. We didn't hang out together often, but I was usually around, and there was some big party yesterday, so they were surprised when I hadn't been there. No doubt, there would be a rumor spreading around about it. Sandra had texted me, too, but I just dismissed her messages. I made things clear to her already the last time we met.

When the door to the bathroom opened, I put my phone away and looked up.

"I thought you'd be naked," I said with mock disappointment, eyeing her bathrobe. I tilted my head and considered. "Although, that still looks good on you."
