Mike made us train whole day and well into the night. We walked into our room at 1 AM, drained and dirty.
Mike went in into the bathroom to shower while I stayed in the room to finish of the extra sandwich that I bought. Exercising makes me hungry.
After Mike finished I walked in and filled the tub with the hot water. I hate to admit it, but I am stressed about tomorrow, and the regular shower can't help me with that. Besides, it will help me with my Mike problem if I just relax for an hour.
Fifteen minutes pass when Mike walks in, looking super stressed out.
"Hey buddy", I say with a flirty smile, "let's not make a habit of you walking into the bathroom while I am in there". Of course, I am kidding, I hoped that he would come in.
"Sully I need help", he says, completely ignoring my attempt at seducing him.
"With what?", I ask.
"Do you think I am scary?", he says, raising the tension in the room. I can hear how much this means to him in his voice.
I know that the truth will hurt him, but I don't want to lie to him. "Not really", I say carefully.
"Yeah, I didn't really want to believe that but now that you say it...", he sounds broken.
I try to reach for him, but he walks out before I can say anything else.
