Longing by Arianna Baum (guided reading books .txt) 📕

jackpot! I found the hoodies section pulling my favorite one out of the pile I tossed it onto the next to the desk. Tank tops are harder to find than you’d think. I search through the entire bag and only find tees. Oooh well I think as I slip one on. I put the stuff I dug out back into the bag and toss the back on the floor. Keeping the bag I found out I had I went to bang on the door. That’s when I noticed it wasn’t even closed all the way! I am about to holler at him to get out when the shower turn off. I peek into the crack. Bad choice right before he steps out of the shower he says…
“Need anything?” he asked sounding amused. The sound of his voice sends me skittering across the room and from there I yell…
“Get out I’m not done yet!” did he see me or was he just checking up on me? The thought of being caught made my cheeks pink. As I stood up the door creaked and he walked out…butt naked. Shit! Now I almost regret taking both towels. This time I avert my eyes grab my bag and head for the bathroom. Once in there I turn and close the door. I pull the tooth brush and tooth paste out of my bag and began brushing. Once done with that I decide to run a brush through my hair. I head out of the bathroom and see he’s still not dressed. He looks at me and then the pile of nighties raising and eyebrow.
“Would you mind putting on some clothes?” I ask my voice sounding stronger than I feel.
“No I love watching that look on your face when you sneak a peek.” He says sound so cocky right now. That makes me sick I think as I crawl into bed. He slips on some boxers and crawls in next to me. I’m about to turn around and kick him out of the bed but what he says next has me stunned.
“I’m so sorry for all of this.” He says as he brushes hair out of my eyes. Me too I think.
When I wake I’m not surprised to see parker is gone. The dreams last night were almost as bad as the night before. I reply him jumping over and over again until it’s permanently burned into my brain. My pillow is wet. I hope it’s from tears. As I make my way down stairs into the ‘brunch’ area I see parker sitting. I decide I rather eat breakfast in my room and as I’m about to walk out I hear him calling my name repeatedly.
“Liz! Liz! Come here where you are going?” He shouts from across the room. Not caring about the looks people are shooting him. I turn around and make my way towards the muffins. I make some coffee and snatch the last blueberry muffin and make my way to the table where he sit’s drinking his coffee.
“Good morning!” he says all happy. It makes me want to smack the grin off his face. Yeah I think I would be if I took a swing at you.
“Shut up this is still all your fault not matter how much you apologize for it…!” I shout in his face.
I’m interrupted by the man sitting beside me at another table.
“I’m glad you’re not like that.” He tells the woman across from him…thinking it’s his wife I turn around and tell him to mind his own damn business. He turns around and looks like he’s going to take a swing at me. Parker jumps up and almost knocking the table over in his haste. The man also stands I almost laugh at loud at the difference. Parker towers over the man also were his muscle bulge then man well I don’t even think you can qualify his as muscles.
“Thanks.” I say before we reach our room. As he opens the door I see a figure stand. He’s tall by the looks of it.
“There you are!” he says as he comes closer. And I almost burst into tears. I swear I’m hallucinating! I feel the twinge in my chest like in the dream and also start to heave! The question I ask is simple but no answer comes after.
“Ian?” I ask sounding like a small child.
