Jerked back to reality I heard the door opening and panicked -tried to grab anything to cover myself. By the time Heather walked in and asked what was going on she'd already figured it out. Tripping over her words on her way back behind the door:
"JEEZ! Sorry Adam! I didn't know -I, I'm sorry." Embarrassed like hell, I quickly pulled my pants back up, buckled the buckle, turned my monitor off and went to the door. Taking a breath I opened it and Heather looked shocked to see me. Stumbling over both of our words I blurted out
"God, I'm sorry, Heather. I should have locked the door"
"No! I'm sorry! I should have called and told you I was coming."
"It's okay, whats going on?"
"I'm sorry, I left my cell phone in your car and by the time I realized it I had to walk down to grab it."
"You walked here?? Jeez, Heather, it's like negative.. a-lot outside. Are you crazy?"
"I know, I, uh, and your car was locked and, um.."
"Alright, here. Come inside, relax for a bit. I'll go downstairs and grab it real quick."
"You're sure thats okay? I'm not..."
"...NO. No, It's alright. Sit down, relax. I'll go grab your cellphone."
I headed downstairs as quickly as possible, grabbed her phone from the floor in front of the seat and ran back upstairs. "Got it" I said, coming through the door and saw Heather on my chair looking at me and then the monitor. The blood ran from my face and if I could, I would have followed it. |
