Finally. The whole apartment to herself. Brooke wasn’t sure if it’s been this quiet since she moved in. Ever since Patrick’s friend had taken over part of the lease, she’d been craving some uninterrupted alone time. Not that he was a bad roommate, Brooke would have just preferred to have some space. Especially after a break-up. The only problem was, she couldn’t afford it. Not with rent prices skyrocketing in the city, especially in apartments close to campus. So she had to suck it up for the time being. Preparing to have a long night of pampering herself, Brooke gathered a handful of things from her bedroom to set up shop in the bathroom. Candles, essential oils, bath bombs, body butters and a cheap bottle of wine surrounded the clawfoot bathtub, setting the mood for a relaxing night in. After stripping out of her clothes, Brooke let out a frustrated sigh. She forgot her fucking bluetooth speaker. Not bothering to redress since she was only going down the hall into her room, Brooke opened the bathroom door and began to retrace her steps. Only a few paces out into the hall and movement from the living room caught her eye, forcing her to stop dead in her tracks, momentarily forgetting that she was completely naked. “Noah!” The blonde shrieked, yanking open the door that was closest and ducking inside. Unfortunately for her, it wasn’t her bedroom that she was taking refuge in. It was Noah’s. Hiding behind the door, only opening it a crack, Brooke peered out into the other room. “Why are you here? You’re not supposed to be here.”
