Clothes part 2

Mary and Lucius went to the red wooden door. They stood in front of the door, waiting. After a long pause, they both stared at each other and did nothing.

"What is it?"Mary said, breaking the silence.

Lucius blinked and showed a confused expression on his face. He hissed and indicated his finger to the door.

"You want me to open the door?"Mary asked, astonished."Aren't you the one who is always overprotective and wants to fling the door first? Like you always have to be the one, who checks the safety."

Lucius crossed his hand and tilted his head to the red wooden door. Then, he hissed.

"I get it! I get it! You don't have to remind me."

Mary stood forward and twisted the handle, pushing the door. The door creaked open, revealing a bedroom.

There was a four-post bed with red curtains hanging from both sides of the bed. Next to the bed were two wardrobes.

Mary gazed around the room, flabbergasted. She looked at the two wardrobes and the bed.

"There must be some clothes inside the wardrobe. It's a bedroom after all."Mary said, walking towards the wardrobes.

Lucius slithered to the four-post bed and gently stroked the mattress. It was soft. He sank himself onto the bed, laying comfortably.

Mary swung open the wardrobe.

"Lucius!Clothes!" She shouted, excitedly.

Lucius sat up from the bed and turned his sight to Mary's direction and hissed.

"Hey! Turn around! I want to try some of the clothes."

Lucius nodded and turned his body, his back now facing Mary.

Mary grabbed a yellow dress from the wardrobe and placed it on the bed. Then, she took off her old filthy shirt.

Suddenly, Lucius hissed, asking if she was done. Mary flinched, her heart thumping rapidly, shocked.

"Don't turn around! I'm not done yet! I'll tell you when I'm done!"Mary said, panicked.

There was a long silence while Mary hastily wore the dress. She walked to a mirror, that was glued to the wardrobe. She twisted her body left and right, wondering if the dress suit her.

"I'm done!"Mary called out to Lucius, turning her body to face him."What do you think?"

Lucius twisted his body to face her and looked at her, stunned. He then glanced up and down from head to toe. He gave Mary a thumbs-up and slithered next to her.

He gently pushed Mary aside and began to pick more clothes for her. As he was picking, Mary could see the side of his cheek blushing slightly.

Hehe, So cute! Is he embarrassed? But he seems happy to help me out.

After a few minutes, he was done. He picked a whole lot of clothes from inside the wardrobe. He hissed at Mary, who was laying on the bed. Mary sat up and Lucius was writing something in his book.

He showed Mary his book. I'm done picking your clothes. Please try them out.

"Oh, thanks! But I guess I'm just going to choose one from all the clothes and dresses you pick since we can't carry too many.Sorry."Mary said, apologetically.

Lucius nodded in understanding, waiting for her to decide.

Mary quickly glanced through all the clothing.

I don't think a dress is suitable to wear in this place. Maybe a normal shirt and shorts will work.

Mary saw a navy blue shirt and a milky white pair of shorts that catches her eye.

"I think I'm going for these two."She said without hesitation.

Lucius looked at her and wrote something in his book again.

He showed her, his words again. Why don't you want to wear dresses?

"Well, it's difficult to run in them."

Lucius nodded.

"I'm going to bathe and change into them."

Lucius stared at her and wrote. Why?

"What do you mean, why?"

Bath. He wrote.

"Well, it's new clothes! I don't want them to get filthy!"

But you just bathe.

"So what? It's not like I can't bathe again."

There was a long pause and Mary continued.

"I just don't want my sweat to dirty them, okay?"

Lucius stared at her for long seconds and slowly nodded.

"Thanks, I'll be going now!"

Lucius followed her to the bathroom and waited for her outside. After she was done, they went back to the bedroom and chatted for a long time before falling asleep.
