Chapter 2: Get Out of My Clothes Or Get Out Of My Room?

Angela POV

I paused, the soft sound of the water filling the silence between us.

"Can you... can you leave?"

He didn't move. Instead, he leaned casually against the doorframe, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Get out of my clothes or get out of my room?"

Heat rushed to my face.

What was I to him? A backup? A distraction? Something to pass the time with?
