Chapter 21

Tea's POV

Stepping at the back of the shower, I tugged the curtain into place before I tossed my towel over it so I didn't flash Jesse as I stripped. When I slid under the water, I breathed a sigh of relief as the sweat of the last nine days began to wash away.

I heard a noise and peeked out the curtain, expecting to see Jesse staring at the outline of me or something. Instead, I saw him slouched against the wall. My towel was bundled up under his head like a pillow, and wrapped around his neck like a scarf.

A snore escaped him, and I bit back a grin before closing the curtain.

I'd never been close to a guy before. I'd never seen one fall asleep, and on a toilet, no less. I'd had three boyfriends, but none of the relationships had ever gotten serious. I'd only ever slept with one guy Jimmy Cooper. That was a mistake, but you live and you learn.

I took my time in the shower, but as I rinsed the shampoo from my hair, I started to get hungry.

Hungry.
