Just Another Pretty Face
Chapter 10
Nadia
Cold water hit her skin forcing her from a hot dream that involved her and Matt in the forest wearing very little clothing. She stood up realizing that water now soaked her clothes. It was freezing and she noticed Elena hovering above her with a now empty pitcher. That bitch.
Nadia lunged for her and she step sided her quickly so that she would fall flat on the floor. Nadia turned right side up and glared at Elena.
"What the hell?!"
"You wouldn't wake up and you really need to shower and eat."
Nadia sat up and looked down, she was really dirty and she couldn't remember how she got put of the forest in the first place.
"How did I get here?"
"You don't remember?"
Nadia shook her head.
"Matt found you in the woods and carried you back here. What were you thinking falling asleep in the forest?"
"It looked like a comfortable spot to rest and I wanted to help Matt get his dark inspiration for his project."
"So you fell asleep to make sure Matt come get you?"
"No! I was going to find him and show him it, but I fell asleep longer then I expected to. I'm sorry if I scared you guys."
"I just want you to answer one question."
"What?"
"Are you into Matt?"
She shifted from foot to foot.
"He's a really nice guy, but I don't know him well enough to know if i'm into him." Nadia lied.
Of course she was into him She had been attracted to him ever since the first moment she saw him.
"Go ahead and take a bath. You really need one. I'll get something from the cafeteria for us to eat."
She nodded and went to the bathroom. She did look like she took a roll around in the dirt. She even had leaves crumpled into her hair to prove it.
She would have to thank Matt tomorrow for bringing her back home. She turned on the faucet and drew her bath taking off her clothes as she watched the water pour. She turned it off and climbed in letting the dirt swirl in the water. She let herself relax a little before she had to deal with the rats nest in her hair.
Her relaxation turned into dreaming and she finally woke up when a knock sounded on the door.
"You okay in there, Nadia?"
"Ugh. Yeah. I'll be out in a minute."
Nadia washed her hair and wrapped herself up in a towel before going to get some fresh clothes. She searched through her closet and pulled out her pajamas. She also got her underwear and went back into the bathroom to change.
Once she was out the smell of chili and hot chocolate filled the room. Her stomach rumbled reminding her of how hungry she was. She sat down at the table and ate spoonfuls of chili. Elena was no where in sight, but she decided not to worry about it too much. Surely she had a perfectly good explanation as for why she wasn't here.
