I update!
"I…I um…never mind." Ember muttered and plopped down on a couch. It was small and brown. Simple, like everything else. I sat down with her. There was a T.V. in front of us. I kept expecting her to turn on but she didn't, and I didn't see a remote in sight. Ember looked as if she was in deep thought; a strange and rare sight. Through the time I've known her, she's never been in deep thought about anything. She thinks on her feet, and has a plan the second one is needed. To see her thinking like this was…eerie.
"So…" I said slowly trying to break the ice.
"So…" She said back.
"Um…So…How ya feelin'?" I continued.
"I'm feelin' fine, I guess. So…um…you?"
"Good." I nodded.
"Well um, good then." Awkward.
"Um…where's the bathroom?" I asked, starting to feel nervous, but I didn't know why.
"Down the hall; can't miss it." I got up from the leather couch and made my way down the hall. I passed the kitchen on way. It had simple tile for flooring and wall paper on the walls. The wall paper was starting to come off. Other than that it was just a fridge, a stove, and a very small amount of counter space.
I reached the door to the bathroom and went in. To my discomfort, the entire room was pink and red. Ugh…
I finished up and was reaching for the door when I stopped. I starred at the cabinet above the sink. It had a mirror. So I stood there looking at my reflection thinking it over. Did I dare? Yes. I thrust open the doors.
"So what does a thief keep in her bathroom cabinet?" I said quietly. I looked through it quickly. I could see a toothbrush and all the other normal stuff. I moved some things around. Bad move.
"EW! GIRL STUFF!" I screamed and bolted out of there…and ran straight into Ember. We tumbled onto the floor and she shoved me off of her. So we just sat on the floor of the kitchen starring at each other. I was expecting her to blow up at me for snooping but instead she smiled.
"You're starting to think like a thief."
I wanted to go further but decided against it. Hey, just wondering, do in-text author notes bother you? I know I do them a lot, and I'm trying to stop, but sometimes I can't help it. Anyway, R&R please!
