When I look at him he’s pulling the key out from inside his swimming trunks. “Do I even want to know?”
“What? There’s a pocket in here with a zipper.”
Before I can reply we hear a ding from the elevator down the hall. He looks at me wide eyed and I know I have to look the same way. “Hurry!” I tell him and begin pushing against the door as if that alone will open it.
The first time he swipes the key it doesn’t work.
The second time he goes too fast and the red light flashes instead of the green light.
“This is it. We’re going to get kicked out,” I moan.
He slides the key in and out again and a whoosh of relief leaves me when it flashes green and we are quickly on the other side of the door, backs against it, staring wide eyed at each other once more before we explode into laughter.
When we calm down, Oliver looks at me chuckling softly, the affects of alcohol shining in his eyes, “I had a lot of fun with you today.”
“Me too.”
“I’m glad. I can’t wait to see what trouble we get into tomorrow.” He smiles and steps away from the door. “I’m going to take a quick shower.”
I nod, and he stares at me for a moment. Something passes between us though I’m not sure what it is. He reaches out and tucks my hair behind my ear again. I think I can get used to the gesture. After another moment where I feel like my body is tight with expectation, he walks away and disappears into the bathroom. A moment later I hear the water turn on.
It takes me a few minutes to move away from the door.
