Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

I never expected to walk in on Brandon right after he showered.

A towel was wrapped low around his waist. It revealed most of his physique and concealed only the bare minimum.

The sight left Brandon speechless too. I could see a blush appearing across his tan skin.

For a moment, we stood unmoving while staring at each other. Nobody said anything, as if time had frozen.

Finally, Brandon reacted and walked into the bedroom. Only then did I regain my senses and swallow. I also realized that my cheeks were burning...

I saw Brandon shut the bedroom door and realized he was getting dressed. I remembered the clothes I had bought for him and blurted, "Brandon, don't get dressed yet. Give me a minute."

I turned around after speaking. As I did, I felt a hint of regret. What had I just said? I had told him to stay undressed and wait for me...

There was nothing inherently wrong with the words themselves, but what was I thinking in this context? I wished the ground would open up and swallow me.

Alas, such a thing wouldn't happen, and it was too late to feel regret. I quickly retreated to my room to retrieve the clothes and then scurried back to Brandon's door.
