Chapter 82
Aurora
I hummed a song as I got into the bathroom.
I took off the robe that Devin gave me last night, untying the ropes around my waist before hanging it on a hook that sat on the wall.
The bathroom wasn’t spacious, but it could contain up to three adults.
I turned on the shower, detecting the temperature of the water and adjusting it until I was satisfied.
“A warm bath would do.”
I took off the shower cap covering my head, allowing my wavy hair to fall all over my shoulders.
Gently, I placed the shower cap against the hook that had my robes.
“It’s your perfect size.”
A smile flashed on my face as Dax’s words crossed my mind.
Since I didn’t bring my clothes to the house, Devin pulled the robe out of an old wardrobe. According to him, it belonged to the old man’s wife who gave them the cottage.
It took a long time for me to believe that a woman that old owned most of the outfits I wore as they glued to my body perfectly until I saw her picture.
She must have a great taste in fashion.
She was a slim and tall woman with curves in the right places. Her body was banging.
I stretched my hands to the shelf above me to take one of the shampoos that she made from a plant.
According to Devin, she extracted the juices from the plant and used them to wash her hair.
The first time I tried it, I was so in love with the scent.
With a grim grip on the bottle, I poured a generous amount over my greasy hair, scrubbing it for some time to remove the dirt.
Satisfied, I rinsed off the shampoo, before rolling my hair in a bun.
“Shower time!” I squeaked in excitement.
I let out a small chuckle as Dax and Devin’s voices filled my ears.
They were outside, probably working out.
Naughty boys!
Hand-squeezing a decent amount of the shower gel into the sponge, I worked it to lather and scrub my body.
It was surprising how my body healed at a rapid rate.
The knife scars on my arms had faded completely.
It looked as if nothing happened to me.
My feet were healed too, I didn’t feel any sharp pain when I applied pressure on them anymore.
I loosened the bandages that Dax wrapped around it, throwing it into the garbage.
My instincts kept emphasizing Dax and Devin being the cause of my rapid healing, but I discarded the thought.
When I was done scrubbing my body, I turned on the shower to rinse the bubbles off my body.
Worry began to set in me as I noticed the pressure from the water weakened with every passing second.
I was about to wash the soap off my face when my worst nightmare happened.
The water stopped.
Confusion and panic hit me hard like a bulldozer at the realization.
We have never run out of water in the cottage as long as there was a river on the other side.
Or had the river dried up that Devin didn’t notice?
Hold yourself together, Aurora, there’s got to be a way. I braced up, allowing my hands to touch random things as I searched for my towel.
Making out the position of things with my eyes tightly shut proved abortive as the only thing I saw was thick darkness.
Summoning courage, I took two steps, allowing my hands to travel around.
Afraid to slip and hit my head, I stopped walking, standing rooted to a spot.
I rubbed my hands against my eyes in an attempt to take off some bubbles before trying to open them gently.
“Fuck!” I screamed in pain as the soap irritated my eyes, causing them to sting.
Soon, my hands found the mini shower and I tried to press the button, but nothing came out.
Not even a few drops of water.
Frustrated as I was left with only one risky option.
Call for help.
Damn! I would be embarrassed if the brothers saw me naked and helplessly.
Summoning courage as I couldn’t sit in the bathroom all day, I began to make some noises with the mini shower.
But I didn’t think it helped.
“Devin! Dax! The shower has gone off!” I screamed frantically, waiting for their response.
Fuck! Why was it taking them forever?!This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Turn on the fucking shower!”
But I was left with no response.
My eyes began to sting as the soapy liquid seeped into my eyes.
My body began to shiver as a cold bite into my skin.
“Help!” I screamed desperately.
“Devin, Dax, help!”
“Aurora? Is that you?” I heard Dax’s voice.
“Yes. Over here, in the shower!”
At once, the sound of their footsteps came rushing towards my bathroom.
“Where are you?” Devin asked. I could tell that he was skeptical about entering the bathroom.
“In here. In the bathroom.”
“What the fuck are you doing there?”
“Bathing. What else do they do in the bathroom?” I asked sarcastically.
“Maybe sex-” Dax responded.
“Shut up, Dax. What is wrong with you?”
“Can you just fucking help me out?!”
“Fine!”
The loud footsteps indicated that they were getting closer.
I wrapped my hands around my body as if protecting it. But I knew it wasn’t enough to cover me.
If only I could get the towel.
“Holy shit!” Dax screamed.
I almost vanished in embarrassment.
“Shut up, Dax. What is wrong with you?” Devin scolded him again.
Despite my eyes being closed, I could feel their eyes boring into my naked body.
Reddened in embarrassment, I wished the ground would swallow me.
I clasped my hand tighter around my body as I stood rooted to a spot, unable to decide on what to do.
“You said the water didn’t come out, but you turned off a button,” Devin said. I could hear his breath become harsh.
I bit my lips hard, scolding myself for my foolishness.
It didn’t take long before the sound of clear water filled the room and I heaved a sigh of relief.
“Enjoy your bath,” They chorused, before leaving, making me almost die of embarrassment.
“Argh!” I screamed, hitting myself.
Did Dax and Devin just see me naked?!
How would I look them in the eyes when I leave the bathroom?!
