Warning: Flirting and a bit of OOC-ness are included in this story. I hope it isn't too much of a failure.
I dropped the sponge that I had been using to scrub the sink, on to the counter. Ugh, cleaning. This is not "my cup of tea". And I still had a butt-load of cleaning left to go; including the counter. I sighed and turned to get some Lysol wipes from under the kitchen sink. I shuffled around some various bottles that were designed to remove mold and mildew, water stains and any other type of bacteria that needed to be cleaned, before realizing that they weren't there. Maybe Thalia has them…
Making my way down the hall of her apartment, I caught a whiff of my "current odor". Dear gods, I need a shower. I reek of chemicals. Well, that's what I get for agreeing to help Thalia scrub her new home from floor to ceiling. "Thalia," I called out, unsure of where she was.
"In the bathroom," she yelled back.
"Where are the-" I stopped talking as soon as I pushed the door open. Thalia was on her hands and knees wiping something off the floor (I found the wipes) completely naked.
"The what?" she asked when I didn't continue. When I still didn't answer, she looked up. "Chill, it's just me. Now what are you looking for?"
Just her? I mean, we had been going out for almost two years now, but I hadn't ever seen her naked. Taking in every curve of her body, I said, "Would now be a bad time to tell you that you look really good naked?"
She grinned. "Not at all, but what did you originally come in here for?" She stood up to throw the dirty wipe away and I sucked in a breath of air. Was it even normal to be this hard when I'm not even having sex?
"I need wipes," I said stupidly.
"Take 'em. I'm done and when you finish wiping the counters so are you." She handed me the wipes and I started walking backwards, out the door. "Hey, Nico." Her hand was on the doorknob and she was smiling mischievously at me.
"Huh?" I answered absent-mindedly, still staring at her.
"You're drooling." And with that, she closed the door in my face.
Okay, maybe cleaning was better than I thought.
