Chapter 9- 50 Shades of Red

Serena's P.O.V

I woke up feeling hot, sweaty, and tired, like I ran the marathon or something. I tried to move around and realized I was trapped, not knowing what to do I opened my eyes to see someone chest. I just laid there for a whole ten seconds, not knowing how to respond to this. I looked up as slowly as I could to meet face to face with Soryu as his eyes bore into mine as we just lay like that not showing any movements. That is until finally, I couldn't take the stickiness on my body along the clothes attached to my skin like glue, do to it anymore.

"U-umm... sorry but can I please use your bathroom and an extra pair of clothes." I asked him as boldly as I could muster from my already timid state. The only response I got was a blank stare...joy. I just laid there you know in bed, feeling dead and sticky and gross as we played the waiting game for some unknown reason, that may forever be a mystery in life what so ever. Oh you know, just a typical day, same old, same old, nothing wrong with this at all...*Sigh*...Great my sarcastic personality is starting to take place again. I sigh yet again, in attempt to calm myself as I close my eyes to let all my frustration out.

"Soryu... Can I please get up and out of bed, my back is starting to ache and I feel very disgusted with myself because I feel sweat all over my body. "Please, I promise I won't run away this time, it's not like I can anyways...please Soryu?" I asked him in the sweetest voice I could make, lucky, it worked because he let me go and got out of bed as he pulled the white sheet and dark blue blanket off of both him and me. I sat up shortly afterwards and moved to get up, but I was grabbed pulled into Soryu's arms. I let out a small grasp and even smaller squeal at the same time in shock and surprise as I threw my arms around his neck reflexively and blushed in slight embarrassment. Even though these last few days I've been carried over and over again I'm embarrassed when he holds me. I don't know what it is or what he does, but he makes me go red over and over again, it's almost impossible but he does it like some professional.

He payed me no heed as he waked to a nearby black dresser on the other side of the bed, and grabbed a small glossy black and silver striped bag with me still in his arms. Then he walked out of the room that already opened door and toward a new one. He soon sat me on the counter of the bathroom sink and handed me the bag. I opened the bag with curiosity and saw there where a change of underwear's and bra's in there! I quickly closed the bag five times faster than I had opened it as my face grew crimson. Soryu left me soon after he turns on the shower as if it this was a completely natural thing to do.

I shook my head to clear my head, as I started to undress in the light blue, sea blue, grey, and white small sized tiles that surrounded part of the bathroom, while the rest of it, was painted in a light blue almost white color, somehow it looked very fitting together with the way it was set up. Then just as I about to take off my undergarments and open the glass door of the shower that was a bit larger than usual, the door opened as Soryu walked in with a white T-shirt in his right hand with is left on the door handle. Both he and I froze looking into each other's eyes not knowing what to do or how to react. After what seemed like forever, he seemed to snap out of it first as he avoided both my eyes and body. All the while he left the shirt a little away from where I was first seated on the bathroom counter and closed the door a bit faster than he had done so before. I just stood there stupefied, until I head a small crash and some uneasy footsteps that seemed enough to knock me out of my dumbfounded state, which of course sent me clashing into fifty shades of red from my face down.

I looked down and slowly removed any other type of clothing I had left on my body, after I locked the door like I should have done so before. Feeling like an idiot as the embarrassment flowed out of me I stood under the warm but still hot water as it poured down to me in sweet calming temperature, as it eased out any other tension I had inside me. But of course not all as the redness in my cheeks deepened even more so as I started to be quick to wash myself, and of course if you have long hair or semi long hair, it takes a while to wash and condition completely. As I finished conditioning it, I moved the shower head to the side and got a razor blade from the side and started to shave my legs and under my arms and so on. By the time I finished, I made sure I didn't miss any extra hair and put the razor back on the small shelf that hung nearby after I rinsed it. I washed the conditioner from my hair and slowly turned the showers faucet handle to the right to turn off the water. Well at least I thought I did.

Just as I was about to let out a content filled sigh... Let's just say ice cold water came crashing down into my warm skin, muscles, and bones as I let out a screech. In a quiet similar manner to a cat, that has been dumped or thrown into not just water but ice cold water if I do say so myself. My body tried to move away as fast as it could from the water pouring down on me, but of course soon turned out to be failure for there was no escape from it as I tried to avoid the pouring water. Just as I was about to turn the shower handle the other way, all the while my body reflexively trying to move away from the ice cold water making very weird movement in the process. The door crashed open just as I turned the handle left to the warm water, w-ell... more like hot, as in CAUTION! VERY HOT WATER! I let out another screech, this time louder than the first.

The glass door of the shower opened violently as the hot fog rushed out and cool air replaced it. I was pulled away from the boiling hot water and placed on the counter as I started to shivered violently as I pulled my arms across my chest while pulling my legs up slightly and hunched over. I was in a very distressed state and I was shaking so badly that I faintly heard the shower be turned off and footsteps coming towards me. I barely regarded someone slipping on a shirt on me and drying my arms, legs and hair in my unfocused state.

I was soon taken to out of the bathroom and sited on the black leather couch in the living room as I suffered violent shivers from feeling both the cold and hot at the same time. It's felt like there was Ice stuck to my skin different places in my body that I could not shake nor take off and it sank into my skin and bones. While the other parts of my body feels like I had spilled boiling water over it, and some felt like the both of them combined! And I couldn't do anything about it as I sat there on the couch shivering as my teeth started to clash down on each other making a clattering sound over and over again as I brought my knees up and raised them to my chest and wrapped my arms around them as I rocked back and forth.

I heard a sigh besides me as my body started to calm down...very slowly. When it did, after more than ten minutes, I looked to the side slowly and I saw Soryu peering down at me with a half worried and half amused gaze. I stared at him for a whole minute completely frozen. Then I looked down as my face began to glow red in embarrassment once again. At this, I heard quite chuckling and my chin was pulled upwards gently but with a firm grip by long slender fingers. My gaze meets his gray stormy once which had become soft as he looked at me with a strong emotion that I could not make out. But whatever it was, it made the butterfly's fly wildly in my stomach making it hard for me to breath.

Without knowing the both of us inched closer and closer to each other as if we were drawn in together like magnets. I started to feel a weird warmness in my stomach as it was constantly attacked by the butterflies, it was like fifty bee's attacking one flower for its sweet nectar. Thus, making it feel difficult to breath and so making my breathing stop all together leaving me with this bittersweet sensation. Before I knew it we were less than half an inch apart, my eyes widened slightly before they closed without knowing them. I felt his warm breath on my lips as they blew, making the burning in my stomach even warmer as our lips grew closer.

Suddenly my waist was grabbed, I looked up in shock as he his eyes now a bit of a darker shade, bore into mine before they closed slowly as his grip tightened making me feel powerless in his arms as all these new emotions attacked me! Abruptly I gasped when his lips were about to touch mine as I nearly died from this heat that was in my chest and top half of my stomach.
