Chapter 71 - Forgot My Clothes
\'\'Aaaaaaarrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!\'\'
Tiana screamed, her hands covering her eyes immediately and with a swift dash, she fled from the bathroom.
\'\'Oh, God! \'\'
She panted; her face red with embarrassment.
\'\'Why are you screaming as though you saw a ghost? \'\'
Nicklaus stepped out of the bathroom, his feet making sounds as he walked into the room, a towel around his waist.
Tiana\'s hands were still over her eyes, and she didn\'t dare turn around.
\'\'I… I\'m sorry, I was in a hurry since I woke up late, I didn\'t realize you were in the shower. \'\'
Tiana stammered, her whole body shaky, her eyes still feeling impure from what she had seen.
\'\'is that why you are so shaky, it\'s not as though you saw anything, there was the glass door… \'\'
Nicklaus paused, he couldn\'t lie; he was really enjoying the show in front of him. He didn\'t expect her to barge into the bathroom, but although he was nude, he was sure she had seen nothing because of the glass door and steam was definitely on the glass. It was the shock of seeing him naked that got her so startled.
Holding in his chuckle; he coughed;
\'\'Mm hmm, don\'t you want to shower? Or do you intend to go to work on your nighties? \'\'
He asked, lifting his brows as he watched her tensed back. Tiana shook her head and rigidly turned around, her eyes fixed on the floor as though there was something mesmerizing about the tiles.
Nicklaus watched her amusedly and just when she was about to enter the bathroom, he stopped her;
\'\'Beautiful? \'\'
Tiana froze on the spot.
Why won\'t he let me go! I\'m so embarrassed already! Would I need to die from excitement before he realizes that?
Tiana cried internally, and she slowly turned her head;
\'\'You forgot this… \'\' he had picked her towel, which fell in front of the bathroom while she was running away.
She raised her eyes to him and saw that he was holding her towel in his hands;
How did he get that!
Tiana wondered, and she quickly grabbed it and fled into the bathroom, locking it behind her.
A light chuckle escaped Nicklaus lips;
She was so cute when teased. He wondered what it would feel like to have that kind of excitement every day.
Tiana wanted to remain in the bathroom, but she remembered that she had to go to work, so she stumbled out of the shower.
As she took her towel to dry herself her eyes shot open in shock;
She forgot her clothes in the room when she ran out!
Her face paled drastically as the realization dawned on her. What was she going to do?
Nicklaus was in the room!
She grabbed her hair with both hands as she wondered what demon she had wronged in her sleep that came after her that morning.
She didn\'t even have a choice at that moment; she just had to come out of the bathroom if she was interested in going to work that day.
Sucking in a deep breath, she tied her towel around her chest and mentally cried when she realized how short the towel was.
The towel was a few inches below her bum, and with her curves, her whole contours were highlighted; she tried to pull it down a little but her boobs would be sacrificed. Tiana mentally rolled her eyes and tugged it back up;
Since she was exposing her legs anyway, she should just cover the one she could properly. Taking in a deep breath, she walked to the door and turned the knob slightly;
She didn\'t hear any sound in the room, so she stuck out her head. Looking around the room, she did not see Nicklaus. Maybe he had gone downstairs.
Tiana thanked her glorious stars; she would just grab her clothes quickly and hurry back into the bathroom before he came out.
Quietly, she tiptoed out of the bathroom and walked stealthily to her clothes on the bed; it seemed Nicklaus dropped them there because they were neatly folded.
But just when her hands were about to touch the clothes, the door creaked open and Nicklaus strode into the room. His eyes were fixated on the phone on his palm. Stepping into the room, he closed the door behind him and looked up instinctively, and instantly his legs froze at a place.
Tiana was standing with a pair of clothes in her hand, while the other hand went over her chest, holding her towel in place. Her hair was wet, and they trickled water over her flushed face. Her eyes were bright as they stared at him startled.
Her towel was short, exposing a sumptuous amount of her fair thighs, Nicklaus couldn\'t resist staring. His throat clenched as eyes glued to her legs, unable to look away;
Tiana\'s heart nearly jumped out of her chest when Nicklaus walked into the room;
She knew it. Today just made it into the list of the worst days of her life!
They stood still for almost thirty seconds, just staring at each other. Tiana traced his eyes, and when she realized that he was staring at her thighs, she tried adjusting her towel.
Coughing, she spoke;
\'\'I… I forgot my clothes; I came to take them… \'\'
Nicklaus cheeks flushed red as her words pulled him back from his shameless daze. His eyes fluttered, and he quickly pulled his eyes away from her.
Tiana hugged her clothes tightly as she wished the ground would just open and she would sink in. This was not the first time she was naked in front of him, but this time felt different because this time he was gazing at her.
Nicklaus cleared his throat;
\'\'Mm… no worries… take your time… I just came to take this… \'\'
He sauntered to the table and picked a file on it. Not sparing her another glance, he stomped out of the room, shutting the door tightly.
Once he was out of the room, Tiana rushed to the door and locked it, panting heavily;
Why did he choose to come in at that time!!
Coming to this place was a terrible idea, a very terrible one!
It wasn\'t enough that she barged into the bathroom while he was bathing; now she had tried seducing him with a towel!
\'\'Arrgh! \'\'
She groaned, why was everything she didn\'t wish for just happening?!
