and pulled his arm, awkwardly he managed to step on his right foot and get up without falling. That meant he was leaning on me, full weight. “God you’re heavy! Where the hell are your crutches?”
“My bedroom.” he said in a tight voice. I could feel his eyes on me, I looked up and right indeed his eyes where on me or more likely my boobs.
“Stop staring at my chest!” I snapped and he looked up at me startled and blushing slightly. “Now why are your crutches in your bedroom?”
“Because I tried to walk. It worked until I got out of the shower and,” he cleared his throat. “I slipped on water.”
I bit my lower lip to not laugh, it’ll be mean. “Alright. Lets walk slowly ‘cause I might trip. Gosh for a thin person you’re so damned heavy!” And we did take it slow. One step at a time. His grip on my shoulder was killing me. Once in a while I would feel his eyes on me.
Finally we reached his bed and I gave him his crutches. “Don’t try to walk on your own, you’ll get hurt. Next time ask me for help or your parents.”
He nodded and stared at me openly. His gaze went from my bare feet all the way to my face, lingering in my chest. Pervert.
“Why are you shirtless?” he asked and moved his head to the side, wondering.
“Because I was taking a shower. You screamed and scared the be-Jesus out of me and I don’t want an injured soul to bear.”
He fought back a smile and looked at me annoyed. “Whatever. Get out. Next time wear a shirt!” he said as I closed the door behind me.
Mitch wasn’t the one to say thank you. He did warm me since the beginning.
Chapter 6
Tomorrow, somehow, I’m going to make Mitch walk. There’s this park near his home so we can walk to it, it’ll do him some good. Even though he’s a pain in my ass I’m been paid to help and take care of him. Some random song was playing on the radio and I turned it off, the sound was annoying me. I reached my house and turned off the engine. The living room light was on, I looked at the time its barely nine. My dad should be asleep by now. Frowning I got out of the car and opened the front door. There they were, Dad and Maggie. I smiled then scowled when I saw Chad seating comfortably on the couch.
“Hey darling, how was work today?” Maggie stood up and hugged me.
“It was the usual.” I shrugged and went to kiss my dad’s cheek.
“What do you mean the usual?” he asked a bit concerned.
“Usual silly fights with Mitch, then this unwanted visit got his temper to explode. To top it off he doesn’t want me inside his bathroom anymore.” I said without really thinking what I was saying.
“What were you doing in his bathroom?” Chad demanded but I ignored him, after what he did today no way I’m crossing a single word with him.
I walked to the kitchen and came back with a cup of water. My dad was frowning and Maggie was half smiling. “What?”
“Why were you in his bathroom?” Dad frowned.
“I was taking a shower after we got out of the pool. He yelled I ran out to his room, he had fallen because the idiot didn’t use his crutches. That’s about it.” I didn’t mention the lack of clothes on both sides.
“Oh.” was all dad said. And Chad shook his head, I shrugged again.
I took a sip of my water. “Are you dating him?” I choked and looked sharply at Maggie.
“What?!”
She smiled a little. “Are you dating Mitch Gaynor?”
I looked over at everyone, they all had the same expression. “You’ve got to be kidding me! Mitch and I together?” I laughed. “Oh dear lord, tell him that and he’ll shop your heads off. Seriously? I’ve been working with him for a week! When I start dating someone you’ll be the first to know.” I paused and chuckled again. “I’m going to sleep, tomorrow I’m dragging him to the park.” I kissed my dads cheek and he was giving me a full smile.
“I like to hear you laugh.” he squeezed my hand and then
