Cheap

Chapter 6

“Yeah?” She called back, in the midst of shampooing her hair. She lowered her arms, covering her chest.

“Um… I got some clean clothes for you…” Michael struggled to find the right words. “I was just gonna put them on the counter for you…” When she didn’t reply, he took that as a positive response and slowly opened the door a crack. The counter was luckily right near the door and he didn’t even have to step in to set the clothes down. He closed the door and took a deep breath. “Ok, you can go back to what you were doing…”

“Um… thanks.” Sydney replied, nervously checking around the shower wall to see that he had left them on the counter right next to the door. Realizing she was probably wasting water, she hurriedly finished her shower.

After conditioning her hair, Sydney toweled herself off and reached for the clothes Michael had left for her. She held them up to her skinny body in the mirror and saw that, while they wouldn’t be tight, they weren’t too much bigger than what she would have worn.

She put them on happily, savoring the feel of being clean. She wrapped the towel around her hair, hoping he wouldn’t mind, and opened the door. Walking down the hallway to the livingroom, she noticed again how fancy and shiny his home was. She would give anything to have what he had.

“Oh, hey.” Michael greeted when he heard her walk into the room as he was watching the flat screen above the fireplace. He turned around and was shocked at how pretty she looked. Even though the clothes didn’t fit perfectly, she still looked gorgeous in them. Her face had that hot shower glow to it and he was amazed he hadn’t seen her beauty before.

“Thanks for the clothes, by the way.” Sydney blushed, feeling awkward for wearing his clothes. “And the shower.”

“It’s no biggie.” He said modestly, still staring at her. “Oh, I made us some sandwiches… it was all I could find around here.”

“You really didn’t have to.”

“But I already did, now you have to eat it.” Michael compromised, smiling at her as she cautiously sat next to him on the couch. She picked up the sandwich and looked under the bread to see what it was. She laughed when all she saw was peanut butter and jelly.

“Wow, what a meal.” She teased.

“I’m not the best cook, as you might have noticed.” He flirted. “Even though my mom tried to teach me a thousand times. I just didn’t get all the French recipes and what was the point when you could just order out?”

“Your French?” Sydney asked after swallowing her first small bite.

“Yeah, I grew up in France until I was eighteen, then I moved here.” Michael explained.

“Wow.” She replied. “It’s totally different isn’t it?” She asked and he wondered if she knew what France was like. She sounded like she had been there before.

“Have you ever been?” He asked.

“Only when I was younger.” She admitted, changing the subject. She didn’t want to tell him her life story, she would be gone in a matter of minutes anyway. “Your home is just amazing.” She complimented.

“It’s ok I guess.”

“Are you kidding? Oh, I would kill for this kind of stuff.” She gushed; looking at all the expensive things she didn’t have any hope of ever getting.

“Eh, it’s not real homey. It’s just kinda there.” Michael admitted, seeing his home differently than she did. “It’s like I only sleep here. It’s not like some of my friend’s houses. Theirs just seem so… inviting.” He didn’t know why he was telling her all this, but he couldn’t help but want to tell someone. “I guess it’s because they have someone to come home to every night.”
