Chapter 1571
Felicity was on the verge of saying no, but then she remembered that like Mr. Lopez, he too was a bit of a clean freak. His clothes were soaked from the rain, and not taking a shower could very well lead to a cold.
But...
"I don't have any clothes for you to change into."
After his shower, he surely couldn't just go about naked?
"How about I borrow your bathrobe, and after my shower, I can use the hairdryer to dry my shirt. That should work."
Felicity hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. "I'll fetch it for you."
Luckily, she had bought a one-size-fits-all bathrobe, thinking a looser, oversized fit would make her appear slimmer. Otherwise, with Miles' broad shoulders and well-built torso, he wouldn't have stood a chance of fitting into it.
...
In the bathroom, Miles couldn't help but smile as he looked at the shelf full of pink bottles.
These items had also found their way into his place once.
Having a girl around really did make a difference!
Like one of the bottles labeled "Body Glow Lotion" - without Felicity, such a thing would never have entered Miles' bathroom.
He squeezed a bit onto his fingertip and rubbed it in, his skin shimmering as if it had been dusted with glitter.
Quite the literal body glow...
"Your towel's in the top cupboard. If you can't reach it, use the stool!" Felicity called from outside, then mumbled to herself, "Though, you probably won't need it." "Got it, thanks."novelbin
Waiting until her footsteps faded away, Miles began to undress.
It was already starting to get light outside, and being someone who usually kept a regular sleeping schedule, he should have been feeling tired.
But now, taking a hot shower and using Felicity's shampoo and body wash felt like being enveloped in her scent, making him even sleepier.
He found himself wishing that by the time he stepped out, she would have already fallen asleep.
That way, he wouldn't have to come up with another lame excuse to avoid being kicked out.
But wishes aside, when Miles emerged in the bathrobe, he found Felicity ready with a first aid kit, waiting for him.
"Let's get you bandaged up before you dry your shirt."
"Okay."
He walked over to her.
The bathrobe was clearly designed for a woman, and Miles could barely fit into it, his chest muscles straining against the fabric. Even with the belt tidily tied, it was a challenge to keep everything decently covered
"Sit here."

Felicity couldn't help thinking that falling for Miles was like asking for trouble!
Even after they had broken up, she
getting bear the thought of his scarred, ruining his perce SKS!
She had to keep reminding herself.

Don't think of Miles as a current boyfriend, but rather, as a brother, as someone she had grown up playing with.
"Yeah."
He sat down beside her.
Felicity carefully unwrapped the soggy bandage, revealing a wound that looked rather severe.
The edges were starting to turn white from being soaked.
"If you keep this up, you're really going to end up with a scar on your face."
"Would you care?"
"Of course not! What's it to me?" She rolled her eyes, quickly backpedaling to avoid misspeaking.

"Once it's light out, and your shirt is dry, you should go."
She bent down to pack up the first aid kit.
Suddenly!
Her slender wrist was caught in a firm grip.
"Felicity, I regret it."
"What?"
"At my place, when you said one last time and I didn't agree... I regret it now."
