Night fell, and I was leaning against the bed after taking a shower, waiting for Theo to come out.
How should I start?
Should I be direct or leave some steps for myself?
When we parted at noon, his expression was bad. He must have been angry.
What if I apologized to him?
No, how could I apologize? He was obviously the one who took a tone with me first.
When I was still pondering, Theo had already finished washing. His hair was wet, and he was wiping it with a towel.
A good-looking man coming out of the bath, how handsome.
The man’s slightly wet face came into my view, and I could not help gulping. When I saw him grab the hair dryer, I quickly stepped forward and grab it. "I'll help you."
Theo was stunned for a moment, but he did not stop me. He just let me play with his hair.
I organized what I wanted to say in my mind while I dried his hair.
I could apologize to him now when the hair dryer was so loud.
Frowning, my thoughts raced.
"What are you doing?"
Following Theo's voice, I came back to my senses. I looked down and noticed that I had gotten his hair stuck in the hair dryer. There was even a slight smell of burning hair.
I quickly apologized and turned off the hair dryer. "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and wasn’t paying attention."
"I'll do it myself." Theo took the hair dryer in my hand and started drying his hair himself.
I lowered my head and went back to bed. Seeing that his expression was completely different from usual, it seemed that he was really angry.
I lay down and buried my head in the blanket.
After a while, the sound of the hair dryer abruptly stopped. Theo then switched off the bedside lamp with a click. I felt someone laying down next to me.
He used to hug me.
Not today, though.
I waited a long time, but nothing happened.
